    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: Spent two gorgeous weeks in the Hale Ohana, with friends from the UK, Oregon and Washington. Everyone had a wonderful time! The house is gorgeous, the amenities are wonderful and everyone was so impressed and awestruck!The only issue, is that the upstairs loft bedroom is horrendously HOT - even with the fans and a cross breeze from the windows. Other than that, a fantastic time was had by all.

    We have used several different properties over the years and this house was by far the best. We had a 5 and 6 year old and did not want the stress of a pool. Baby Beach was the perfect alternative… . By far though was the house itself. The layout with every room with porch access and the view! Can’t really stress how beautiful the lush green yard that framed this gorgeous home. You could find details that were less then perfect but it didn’t matter because the main reason grandparents, parents, children go to Hawaii is for the tranquility, the scenery, the walks to the coffee and stores 3 blocks away… beyond perfect.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Hale O’Hana is an absolutely stunning property! The home is gorgeous! It is spacious, tastefully decorated, lots of room. Perfect for our family of six. Two couples in master bedrooms and two teenage girls each had their own rooms. We had a spare loft bedroom for friends that came over from another island for a couple nights. The large veranda with sweeping views is so wonderful. And the wide stairway goes down to a beautiful lawn and entrance to Baby Beach. Garden Island Rental was great to work with, responsive and very friendly! Overall, just a fabulous experience in every way!!

    We had a delightful stay at this property. Everything was as pictured and the hosts were very responsive and helpful. One note, it’s actually four bedrooms and a loft upstairs. It’s a very large space but doesn’t have a door. We love this home and hope to return!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved everything about the property. The property has (3) first-floor bedrooms to the right and (1) to the left with a large open-concept bedroom on the second floor. All bedrooms had a bathroom and there was a powder room on the second floor The property's location and condition were fabulous. The management communication was great, not too much and not too little. The views are stunning. Great place for a family gathering!

    Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Complete waste of money and time and energy rented this location way in advance as I was renewing my vows and it was my 55th birthday I've rented properties on VRBO since they were open. Upon arrival everything seemed okay Monday morning first thing the only two properties on the beach where the one that I rented and the one they decided to start construction on they began demolitioning the back patio which was about 50 ft from the master bedroom so we were awaken mornings throughout the day with saws and motorized equipment and hammering which sounded like they were in the room with me. Upon complaining to the rental agency they stated it was their property and they could stop it and will do their best. Going to maintenance guy arrived at the door telling me that I needed to work out a schedule with him in order for them to work because the owners were returning and they wanted to have some work done for their return. I explained I paid $17,000 for 7 days and I didn't care what the owners wanted I need it quiet. the work continued I complained again to the rental office and next to manager came back to me stating that they needed to get the work done apparently for some fall that somebody had and he made up a long story that totally contradicted what the maintenance guy had said. They continue to work I pleaded with them to stop they did not I contacted VRBO with a complaint did not hear back. We were forced to check out and stay at the Hyatt and they were gracious enough to allow us to find another place to stay at the last minute on an island that has nothing available and they would refund two nights for us. After about 4 hours of searching we found a place to stay for the next 3 days and we moved out and went to the new location and they agreed to send us $4,000 refund out of the 17,000. The energy I expended in the middle of the trip the stress it created and the fact that vrbo allowed this place to rent us a property that clearly had construct
