A Month in Paradise!
A Month in Paradise!
My family and I came for the month of June and our stay was absolutely wonderful. This property is truly steps away from the ocean. The snorkeling was amazing on the reef just our your door. I think our favorite spot was on the hammock by the ocean while my husband was playing chess with the boys. I was nervous about no AC in the main building during June but there is a constant breeze through the house and we were never hot. It actually added to the experience to live in the open air. If I could give more stars, I would. Thanks so much for sharing your home with us!

Perfect location. Just far enough away from town to feel rural and close enough to access everything. Our property manager was charming and attentive. No complaints.

The real hawaii
The real hawaii
If you’re looking for the authentic Hawaii experience this place is for you! We woke up to the sun rising over Rabbit island and the sound of the rolling waves every morning. Kids learning about the ecosystem from local fisherman at the fish pond just outside the house. Gentle waves in front and the sea so picturesque that you forget about everything. Literally paradise. The property is perfectly maintained with all the luxury amenities you could ask for including kayaks, snorkels, beach chairs and everything in between. Gilles, the property manager was so sweet. We had fresh tropical flowers delivered to our house upon arrival and always felt well taken care of. Even the neighbors came by to introduce themselves. If you want to know the real Hawaii, get out of town. Get remote and listen to wind, the sea, and sun. This is the spot. We will always return to this home when coming to Oahu.

Beautiful property with quiet beach!
Beautiful property with quiet beach!
Our family really enjoyed our stay here. It is such a beautiful location with calm waters, perfect for our kids and my 78 year old mom. It is away from the crowds and so relaxing. The snorkeling (ample gear at the home) right our the door was a good as Hanauma Bay without two thousand other people there. Gilles the property host is responsive and efficient.

An absolute dream property!
An absolute dream property!
An absolutely beautiful location and property! A dream! It was very clean and kept up very well. The three buildings on the property allowed for some quiet time and a little separation. Gilles was very accommodating to us when our flight arrived early for check in time. They allowed us to drop our things off and welcomed us to relax on the patio and beach while the cleaning crew finished their work. We highly recommend this property and can’t wait to book it again in the future!! A wonderful experience!!

A truly magical experience
A truly magical experience
Our extended family of 12 (ages 12-72) rented the entire property for five nights and truly felt like we were in heaven. :) The views and location are absolutely perfect. We watched the sun come up every morning over Rabbit Island, snorkeled and kayaked in the clear blue water (equipment provided, for which we were very grateful), cooked meals together in the gourmet kitchen each evening, enjoyed soaking in the lovely hot tub listening to the waves crashing just steps away. So many things were provided for our convenience and enjoyment that I can't even list them all! Linens, LOTS of dishes, toiletries, numerous appliances (rice cooker, Vitamix, a Brita water filter), beach towels and chairs, laundry detergent, even sunscreen and bug spray. Many thoughtful touches throughout the home and property. Gilles was a dream to work with, very laid back and available if we had any questions. We loaded up on groceries at Costco on the way from the airport, and took a drive to Kailua to pick up a few things from Whole Foods, but any other items we were able to buy at the local grocery store down the road. Several outings nearby that we would recommend: the Lighthouse Hike, snorkeling at Hanauma Bay (go early - no charge or crowds if you get there before 7am), the Ka Moana Lu'au at Sea Life Park, and ice cream from Dave's. Also would recommend the Poke Bowl and Medi Bowl at nearby Ai Love for anyone vegetarian/vegan (we are not, but loved them anyway!)
