"Absolutely loved our stay! The location was peaceful and relaxing, the perfect place to unwind. The view was breathtaking, even more stunning than the photos. Our host was incredible, going above and beyond to make us feel welcome, even surprising us with delicious Hawaiian sweet treats. Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again!"

"We had a great vacation, and it was our little one’s first time in Hawaii! This house had everything we needed to keep our toddler happy and entertained from playing in the sand and water to exploring the area. The property also provided canoes and water gear, which made our trip to Chinaman’s Hat even more memorable. Everything was great, highly recommend! Hopefully we’ll be back again soon."

"The house manager, Nina, was amazing. Messaged me a couple of days before our stay and then on the day of the arrival. Checked in on us through our stay and even brought us some treats! responded promptly to all requests. Location is to die for. House is very cute and well furnished. You can spend the whole time just sitting on the beach in front of the house and enjoying the view."

"This place is absolutely amazing. We absolutely loved the house and the outdoor space. The private beach area was a bonus, super relaxing and we had everything we needed to have fun in the water. Nina was an amazing host and was very responsive and super friendly. We would definitely book the house again."

"What a beautiful location! Our first time to O’ahu, we loved this side of the island. The pictures of this house and surrounding area are spot on. Plenty of room for eight of us inside and out. Our co-host, Nina was the best! There was a storm first night we arrived and this side of the island had no power. Nina was ready with flashlights, candles and dropped off a cooler to refrigerate our food. She checked in with us and responded quickly with answers to our questions our entire stay. She is awesome! We enjoyed the little beach area and snorkeled in the shallow water. We did use the kayaks and SUP, they’re well used and good for tooling around close-in but for further trips, the paddles need an upgrade.. but overall fun times! We hope to come back❤️🌺🌴☀️"

"This beach house was everything we wanted and more! The stunning views were just like the pictures posted. Waking up to the beautiful sunset almost every day was amazing. Having a private area to relax in was great. We did take our own water shoes but don’t think we needed to as the place is supplied with everything. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything you need for cooking! Nina was amazing! She was so easy to communicate with and was always checking in and making sure we had what we needed. We decided to BBQ and were out of propane and Nina was there within 10 min with a new tank. Whenever we had a question Nina was always available with a quick and helpful response. The location of the place was perfect for our family as we prefer a more quiet area as oppose to the busy city of Waikiki. That being said if we wanted to head into Waikiki it was only a 30 min drive. We would definitely stay here again and again!"
