The valley is beautiful. There was nothing better than sitting out on the back patio in the morning & evening. The neighborhood was quiet, except on 1 morning where the construction workers were playing a radio very loud. The community pool wasn't open yet, so that was disappointing, but we were able to find a beach about 10mins away that wasn't too busy, had a real restroom, & parking was decent. The undertow was a strong, so the kids had to be very diligent, but they had a lot of fun too. I recommend this community for a few couples with young children or just a group of friends. The 3 bedrooms & living room pull out couch were good for teens & adults. The "kid's room" with a tiny bunk bed & super skinny futon would only be suitable for small kids (my Dad slept on the futon, but he's a very small man), so I wouldn't recommend more than a few single folks or a few couples to double up in the other rooms. The valley is nearly 45-60mins out of Honolulu, so if folks are looking for some nightlife, this would not be the area. If you are just looking for time together & being relaxed, then the valley is definitely right up your alley. It was a good overall stay.

For those wishing to spend their vacation time in Waianae, this home is ideal! It has a great layout in a beautiful and picturesque gated community setting and met all of our housing needs. Although it advertises a pool (for the community), there is not one - yet. If you plan to drive often toward Honolulu or the North Shore, prepare for a lengthy drive. Between the home and where the H1 freeway begins it is highway with speeds of 30-35 mph. Despite those annoyances, we gave the home a 5 star rating, as it is truly lovely.

The house was just as pictured with all the amenities, including beach gear (ie: chairs, boogie boards, sand toys, ice chests, and beach towels). The house was a little away from a lot of the tourist locations, but worth the drive for the beauty and privacy of it's location.

Rating Details: The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home is in a small neighbor hood with a large yard and amazing views.

We so enjoyed all the amenities at the house

The home is beautiful, clean and really does sleep 10 with the pullout couch. The neighborhood is beautiful but getting here is not a pleasant drive. We drove through many homeless camps and the smell was VERy strong! I would never use any of the beaches near by due to the homeless people living on the beach. I would be concerned for a families safety. The neighbors warned us to not go outside of the gates of the neighborhood after dark - very bad things happen! So we had to be back at dark each night. The amenities listed claim a pool and hot tub but you have to read the fine print to learn that is not yet open. That part was very disappointing to learn after we arrived! The location is NOT near North Shore. The only way to drive there is to go back toward Honolulu and drive across - about an hour and 30 min drive depending on the time of day! Learning that was very disappointing.

The house was perfect for 6 adults and 4 keiki. Plenty of room and a great backyard. Great sunset every evening. Mahalo to the staff who immediately responded to questions. Only issue was the internet went out but came out on Easter to fix it.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental.

Reviewer Comments: Plenty of space for our group of 8 and a baby... enjoyed a relaxing evening in the back yard playing games and enjoying the beautiful views...
