2BR w/ Diamond Head Views & Lanai

Absolutely loved the location, the property and home speaks for itself:)

Our 2nd stay with this host, it was great. Great communication, they take very good care of the property.

The house was spotless and very comfortable! We had a problem with the coffee maker, but Amanda immediately handled it with no problems! She was readily available, helpful, and efficient! The only drawback would be the main bedroom, but it did not ruin our stay. The air conditioner helped cool the room, but it is quite loud and right next to the bed. I think it is an unfortunate necessity. The other bedroom delighted my adult daughter. She was quite comfortable and made a little nest. That said, getting to the bed is extremely difficult because it is high off the ground. It may be tricky for older people. The lanai was incredible and we spent most of our time there. We walked into Manoa most days, and really loved being in a neighborhood off the beaten track!

We would stay here again! We moved our daughter into Manoa and it was super convenient. We could walk to Manoa if we wanted to. It was a charming neighborhood and very quiet. The only issue was parking for our van. The street is a little tight. Otherwise, we had great communication with the manager. This is a historical house, also! (Does have stairs, so be mindful for seniors!)

Pros: Great location. Pleasant sitting areas. kitchen has what you need. Parking tight but okay. Property management folks pleasant and professional. Cons: Bedroom is stuffy with poor ventilation. Bed is mushy and clammy, with plastic cover and synthetic poor-fitting sheets. There’s an AC, but it’s loud. The trade breeze blowing through the bedroom would’ve been nice! The step down from bedroom to bath needs a nightlight. No house guide regarding WiFi, trash pickup, TV operation info.

Overall, the property was as promised - the basement of a house in a lovely residential area with a lanai that has ample seating (we lived out there!), two bedrooms, 1 bath, small kitchen. My only complaints are that is was a bit quirky and dated (which was somewhat expected from the pictures), but the biggest problem was that the mattress in the main bedroom was so soft and caved in that only the youngest member of our party was comfortable sleeping there, so one of us had to sleep on the couch the entire 10 days.

As advertized this place is perfect!

perfect location in the Manoa Valley. Beautiful home, amazing view, very comfortable, clean, plenty of space. Parking is tight but we made it work. Host is very quick to respond. would definitely stay there again

We enjoyed staying at the Manoa property especially being in the Manoa Valley neighborhood and visiting the Manoa Marketplace throughout our visit. It's an extremely safe neighborhood. We did the Manoa Falls hike too which was close by and a beautiful hike. Amanda was very helpful throughout our stay. The kitchen sink was not getting hot water for a few of our meals though Amanda reset the water heater and it should have worked after that (we didn't cook a lot after it was turned back on though). If you want to get to know the Manoa Valley or need to be close to UH this would be a good place to try out.

The home is comfortable and clean and a good base point for doing multiple things around Honolulu Quiet neighborhood.

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. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The space is down stairs from the main house. Inside the space are steps up to one bedroom and then there are steps down to living area. Do not recommend for anyone with mobility issues. The living space and one bedroom are large and the back patio is nice.

Loved the property. Manoa Valley is a wonderful place to stay. The vehicle parking is less than desirable. Seems to be a neighborhood issue.

It is a beautiful property and we enjoyed every moment here. The manager Amanda is very kind and helpful!! We will definitely come back again!!

Beautiful bottom unit of a duplex on a quiet side street in Manoa. Well-equipped kitchen. Nice lanai with a view of diamond head. Newer washer/dryer. Assigned parking in driveway. There were a/c units, but we never needed to use them; fans were enough.

Wonderful downstairs ohana suite with beautiful lanai overlooking Diamond Head and east Honolulu. Gorgeous neighborhood setting. Very comfortable all around. Great value. Super location! Only heads up: stairs could be challenging for some

This cozy spot was perfect when moving my daughter into college. We didn't want to stay in Waikiki and this was perfect. Communication was easy with Amanda. The unit was clean and location was perfect.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved the location and it was quite comfortable. However, it has some needs: many steps and no handrail to grip going down to entrance; step to lanai is same color as decking and an easy trip hazard; no instructions on how to operate TVs; many VRBO units have more kitchen/cooking supplies that this unit; lighting in closet was not working properlyl and most doors did not close well - e.g. it was difficult on the entry door to punch in the code correctly. While this unit has considerable general maintenance needs, it is still a good property for anyone who is comfortable with many steps - some not so obvious. Perhaps the upstairs unit is a better choice.

It was great! Great location close to everything. Great Mānoa neighborhood. Great Hawai’i home.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were so delighted by our stay here. The location was excellent, we loved being able to walk to a great coffee shop and grocery store. I went on morning runs to the Makiki valley trails, it was beautiful. When we were driving up to the house, we were trying to capture a picture of the rainbow that was resting on top of Manoa Valley. We couldn't get an unobstructed pic, but were happy to have it welcoming us. When we arrived at the home and went out to the lanai, we could see the entirety of the rainbow spread out over the valley.The home was very clean and comfortable and we would absolutely stay here again.
