Couldn't have asked for better accommodations. The abundant extras provided and the personal attention made for a most enjoyable stay. You might want to advise future guests to stock up on food and beverages at COSTCO to save a bundle over the local grocery stores.

This house definitely became a home away from home in a paradise setting! The owners and property managers were all so helpful and very welcoming. My family and I arrived to the house after dark so the first morning at sunrise we were just in awe by the beauty of the area and the views surrounding the house. We loved hearing all the birds and seeing the many butterflies flying around the many plants and flowers in the yard. The house itself was VERY comfortable and had great space for everyone. The master suite was roomy and had a great seating area so everyone could have peace and quiet away from the kids and noise when needed. The lanai was setup so you could really enjoy being outside (the pictures are very accurate). My favorite place was sitting on the swing, listening to the birds while I read my book. There are beaches very close to the house that are perfect for kids and small children. We enjoyed every bit of our stay and really appreciated the details and thought of these hosts. The house was well stocked with paper goods and toys and many things that enhanced the experience. The location of the house is perfect for getting away from the touristy areas of HI while still being in a convenient location and an easy drive to anywhere you want to visit. Can't say thank you enough for this wonderful, relaxing and rejuvenating vacation!!!

This place was amazing! It was way better than we thought and we had high expectations. Everything about it was outstanding and we all had a great time. Their place is very clean, well appointed, and absolutely beautiful! We will definitely be coming back.

The property was perfect and met all our needs. The location was beautiful and ideal for us, both for exploring the north shore of the island, and for its proximity to a family wedding held nearby at Kualoa Ranch. The kitchen was well stocked with the needed accessories and we greatly appreciated the extra amenities - the snorkel equipment got used a couple times. We also appreciated the prompt attention Rob and Hilary provided whenever we had questions. All of this provided for a fantastic vacation and family time together. Mahalo!!

I've avoided Oahu because I thought it's all about resorts, Waikiki and Honolulu. Boy, was I wrong. If you want piece and island life, this house is perfect. It was the cleanest and best-equipped house my family has ever stayed in, and we do travel quite a bit. Kayaks, bikes, snorkeling gear, water shoes, everything clean and organized. We did use the kayaks because the ocean is right there at the end of the driveway. And the lanai, ah, the lanai, spacious and clean, perfect for chilling or eating the food you grab from nearby Uncle Bobo's (seared tuna to die for) or one of the shrimp shacks (we preferred Aloha shrimp which is open all days to the other yellow one which was featured on some cooking shows) or poke from the Tamura's Market.

Great location, not far from many tourist sites. Fantastic hikes within walking distance. The house was very clean and organized. There were many games and puzzles for indoor fun while it poured outside and many outdoor gear for beach fun. We really enjoyed drinking coffee in the morning on the large porch, listening to the wild chickens. Awesome views from all of the windows, even from the stair well window. I really enjoyed the large tub and shower in the Master bedroom. Nice place to relax. Overall, will recommend and maybe come back!

House was great for all three generations of our family to relax and enjoy the comforts of home in beautiful Hawaii. This made for an easy spot to see all the north shore/eastern sights. My kids loved the toys, water gear, etc that made each day an adventure. We loved celebrating my mom’s birthday in such a unique and special place. Mahalo!

Nice location and clean. Things are in working order and we appreciate the care taken to keep it awesome. Thanks

This home is a large and well appointed property on the East side of Oahu. It is an easy drive to great surf, snorkeling or relaxing on the beach.

Absolutely beautiful property! The home owners and Aloha ambassadors are just genuinely kind people. Communication with them was easy and their recommendations for food and activities were right on point. The home and grounds are just stunning, right out of a post card. All the water equipment readily available for use is unlimited. The kitchen is so cozy and we loved making breakfast in it every morning. Bedrooms are huge and spacious. We felt right at home that we were so sad to leave.

Amazing house, amazing location, amazing amenities!! Such a perfect house! This is my second stay here and it lived up to the expectations! Lots of water toys, beach supplies, kitchen amenities and they leave out toiletries! I can’t say enough positive!

The home was beautiful! Very clean. The use of the paddle boards and kayaks was a great addition. The bay was about a mile away and not busy during the week so we referred to it as "our beach". The owner and caretaker was very helpful and quick to respond.

We had a very good time in your property and we enjoyed staying in this amazing, clean and confortable property. Thanks

The house is great!!! We really enjoyed!!! Thank you so much good memories!!!

This place is amazing! We absolutely loved the huge porch. It was our gathering place every morning before starting our day and again in the evening before bed. The owners thought of everything and provided all the essentials to help make our stay as comfortable as possible - including a nice note and delicious treats to welcome us. We did not have any young children traveling with us, but it was a perfect setup for young families as well. Tons of toys, krafts, and games to keep them entertained. There is one bedroom and bathroom downstairs and two bedrooms with en-suites upstairs. My family is still talking about this house and fond memories were made here that we will cherish for a lifetime.

As soon as you walk in the front door you know you'll have a relaxed time. The home has a cozy welcoming feel and nothing has been forgotten to provide everything you need to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. We would certainly recommend this lovely home to all our friends and family. We were delighted with our choice!

Very nice comfortable house. Four adults and three kids stayed here for a week and loved the quiet location and the house had everything we needed. Thank you

The house was very clean, the location was perfect and the house was fully equipped for a big family. The best part of our stay were the hosts, they helped us plan our activities and told us about the best local spots, we felt like family. The kids liked them so much they kept asking why they weren't with us during certain activities. I would highly recommend this place to any family looking to get away from the madness that is Waikiki.

My family of six just had a fantastic experience at this Kaaawa home. Both the homeowner and the managers of the property were extremely gracious hosts making sure we had everything we needed so that our Hawaiian vacation would be a success. All the toys were available to experience the island anyway we saw fit. I didn’t recognize until later that they had a roof top carrier for the kayaks to be able to take them wherever we would have wanted to launch them. That would’ve been nice rather than trying to make it all the way over to Chinamans hat on our first day! Anyway. Good exercise. The house was spacious, clean, and again provided all the amenities (towels sunscreen bug spray, water shoes, and even snorkel equipment) for us to use. The kitchen was well equipped and the bedrooms were comfy. My family and I were very sad to leave!

Everything was perfect, couldn’t have asked for more. Excellent communication right from the start and throughout our stay. We really appreciated the tour of the property (even though we arrived late in the evening.) What a great location, close enough to Honolulu but feels a world away. Close to a lot of the places we wanted to visit. We enjoyed the snorkel gear, boogie boards and kayaks. The only regret is that we didn’t leave ourselves more time or stay long enough to try some of the other gear. Loved cooking meals and spending time outside on the lanai. We played board games and hung out at night outside until we had to go to bed which was pretty early because of the daytime activities. Loved the master bedroom/bathroom and the views of the mountains and ocean. Thanks to the caretakers and owners for sharing this beautiful home, we hope to make it back.

Excellent property, excellent communication and greeting for check in, things couldn't have gone smother. We loved the property, amenities and location. Everything we needed was available. The property was immaculate, clean, luxurious and well located. The hosts were friendly, helpful, and offered great tips and suggestions about our plans. We couldn't have had a better experience with our family and loved that resources for infants and young children were available. We plan to return and have already recommended the property to family and friends.

This is an amazing property with the finest attention to detail we have experienced. Generous amenities abound (including fresh cut pineapple and chocolates awaiting us and well stocked personal care items in each bathroom as well as a basket full of bottled water). Our young grandchildren especially appreciated the well stocked variety of toys and books available for their enjoyment. This home is spacious, immaculate and highly organized. It was a joy for the six of us to settle in for a week and the location was great. We did have to drive to a suitable beach but that was manageable. The comfortable and pleasing lanai was cozy and quickly became our gathering space. We highly recommend this property!

This home was the perfect stay for our family trip. With four kids and four adults, we had more than ample space, beach gear, and creature comforts in this home. Great finishes without sacrificing any comfort. Our stay was a week in Hawaii, and I am so thankful we chose to stay in Kaaawa and especially at this property! You are halfway between our two favorite spots on the island (North Shore and Kailua), and the pace and people are so much friendlier than the Honolulu area. Not only was the home perfect and fully stocked, our caretakers and property owners felt like family. Any questions and concerns we had were handled quickly and like you would for your own family. I will never forget the time we had here, and we feel so blessed to have had our stay in Hawaii in the Escape to Paradise property! Things not to be missed: North Shore (Shark's Cove, Food Trucks, Waimea Valley Botanical Gardens and waterfall), Kailua (Kailua Beach Park, Kalapawai Cafe & Deli), Kahuku area with tons of food trucks near Fiji Market (Giovanni's and so many others), Kualoa (Regional Park, Chinaman's Hat, Tropical Farms Macademia Nuts), He'eia State Park (grab some breakfast at Times Coffee Shop), Makapu'u Lighthouse Trail

We came to Oahu for a wedding on the North Shore. This house was perfect in so many ways. Beautiful surroundings from the ocean to the mountains! The house is incredibly clean and well kept! Stocked with everything you could possibly need. They leave little toiletries in each bathroom, which was a really nice surprise. We have stayed in a ton of VRBO properties and this one exceeds any others. The owner even textd is to let us know that the outrigger club he belongs to does free lessons for newbies. Super sweet! Hillary was so nice and responsive. We did not have kids, but if you do, this house is perfect, tons of toys, utensils, everything you need for kids. Lots of beach stuff too! I really cannot say enough about our stay and the little details The Stansfields put into this house! We will definitely come back one day! Paradise!!

We were all very impressed by this house which sits right between the ocean and spectacular mountains. They prepared almost EVERYTHING we would need for this vacation. The bedrooms are very spacious and comfortable. The kitchen and lanai gave us great family dining time. The entire house was tastefully furnished and was clearly more than just a rental property-- we felt like guests of the Owners. Perfect spot if you want to have a real taste of Hawaii and stay away from the crowded tourist area. Highly recommended.
