First off, kids loved the pool and the pool toy accessories. Then we can talk about the adults' favorite things. The welcome email had detailed directions, clear instructions, and good local suggestions. The grandmother in our group loved that we were so close to Costco. The house was clean when we got here and had several staple items already setup. Towels were clean and fluffy, soaps for hands/dishes/laundry already enough for what we needed. Refrigerator was already cold and making ice. The beds were super comfy, like super comfy! What's the catch? Well, if you're not used to living near the water, there were a very few water bugs and that could freak a few people out. There were already some Raid cans, so that was an easy fix. And the bathrooms were so pretty, but the tub was a little slippery, so just be careful or wear shower shoes with grip. We packed lite and utilized the laundry, it was a great help and a good pair of machines! It was definitely worth staying here and out of the hustle n bustle. We venture everywhere we could and it was so nice to come back to the private pool in a quiet setting. Then go for an evening walk around the neighborhood. Would definitely rent here again for next Oahu trip.

Rainbows, yoga on the dock and hours of fun around the pool - at the foot of Koko Crater - are just a few elements of our family’s time at this lagoon of Oz. All of our beach needs, bikes, kayaks, the nearby sites and local restaurants offer something for everyone. The hidden gem, Portlock Beach, is perfect for little ones. We all agree that we’d come back to this spacious and relaxing home.

This house is fantastic for a family visiting Oahu. The pool is definitely a highlight. I was worried because it isn't heated that it would be cold but it wasn't! We enjoyed the outdoor space. The check in and out process was also easy. The stay would have been better if details were taken care of. The garage door doesn't shut unless you pull on it to help it along, the master bath shower drain is clogged which is gross, the TV remotes have bad batteries, the light over the stove is burnt out, the coffee cups are the sort that can't be microwaved, the stove was dirty with food down the sides, the outdoor grill was not cleaned and the recycling was full to overflowing from other guests. Even though we put the recycle bin out the truck didn't come as scheduled. Also the air conditioning is only in the bedrooms and the common spaces are incredibly warm. (We had unseasonably warm weather) The air conditioning unit in the master bedroom seems to barely keep up even with the door closed. The ceiling fans are dirty, the toilet in the master feels like it's not bolted down. The carpets have stains and next door is under construction so there are many people around and starting work early with construction noise. Thankfully my family is early risers anyway. These are all small things but annoying. Felt like the house needs some attention. The bike paddle board and kayaks are great additions!

Room for my family, clean, enjoyed the pool, and outside area, especially the marina. Everything you need is here, shopping center close by. Many thanks for a memorable time.

Excellent property, quiet location with a pool. Safeway, Costco, Longs Drugs stores so close by, makes shopping easy. It was really tough to leave.

Overall, the property is better equipped than most VRBO's. There is a two-person kayak and stand-up paddle board, life jackets, pool toys, etc. The kitchen is new and well-stocked. The layout of the house is very nice, with big patio doors to the pool. There is no air conditioning except for in the bedrooms. It got warm in the late afternoon, but we never actually needed the air conditioning. The neighborhood is quiet and safe, and we loved being on the canal and ability to explore with the sea kayak and stand up paddle board. The pool is beautiful--unheated but it was warm enough for us. There are some things that are in a bit of disrepair, but we enjoyed our stay here very much and would definitely stay here again.

We rented this property for a week-long family Christmas vacation. The house was as stated in the description and located in a great neighborhood.
