    This place is pure magic for a family vacation. The house was exactly as it was advertised. The pictures actually don’t do it justice. We soaked up every minute. Nancy is very fast to respond and such a sweet person! Best vacation we have ever taken !

    We had a wonderful stay at this property. As a group of 11 with five children under the age of 13, the property was well loved and not so precious that we had to watch every move that our children made. The property is very close to a grocery store, which made it very easy as most of our meals were at the house. There is a larege yard for running around and a very large pool which the kids loved. There was plenty of room for us all to spread out and the cottage was an added bonus for the introverts in our family. Nancy was an exceptional host and was quick to respond to our queries. Would highly recommend.

    This may have been our favorite VRBO stay ever. Nancy, the host, was helpful and welcoming. There was plenty of room for our large group. The grounds and pool area were beautiful. The home was well-stocked, including plenty of beach and pool toys, and baby items. Best of all, the location was stunning. We didn’t have to leave the premises to enjoy spectacular, close-up ocean views.

    We loved the house, it suited us perfectly with 10 adults and 4 kids. The bunk beds were great. Beds were comfortable. The yard and pool kept the kids so busy, it was enjoyable for us to watch them. The volleyball net was a bonus, we had a tournament which all of us partipated in. The kitchen and dining room table was perfect. And all the patio tables outside was enough room for all of us.We would definately return in the future. Thanks so much for everything.

    The sunsets were amazing from this property. I truly enjoyed watching them every night. There were 13 family members staying at the house and there was plenty of room. Being my 60th birthday, my husband and I had the master bedroom. I thought it was fantastic, especially the lanai. Nancy was quick to respond with any questions. I would definitely recommend staying here.

    My family had a wonderful stay here. The view was amazing, the pool was huge and the space was perfect for our needs. The main space is not air conditioned and it did get pretty warm during the day but it didn't really didn't have a big impact on my family. The bedrooms have ac. The boathouse was an awesome apartment for my grandson. The kitchen was well equipped and the grill was adequate.

    This is our second time staying here. Love the property, the view and the master suite upstairs!The TV went out but they quickly replaced it. Problem with one AC unit in one room and had to stay in the room with the bunk beds, but the others worked fine! Owner is very quick to respond and very kind.

    This property was perfect for our family vacation. 10 people stayed 9 nights at the house. The house, pool, hot tub, yard, and waterfront views was amazing, even better than we expected. We ate majority of our meals at the house as the views were better that any restaurant or any luaus. The house, pool, and yards are very well maintained. Everything was clean, well-organized, and easy to use. The house is in a great location. Several beaches & shopping nearby, but the location maintains privacy. The house can easily accommodate 14 people. It was perfect property for us and we would recommend this for a large group who wants to be water front with fantastic water views.

    A little private slice of Hawaiian heaven! This home is perfect for a family looking to enjoy the island. Beautifully manicured property with a perfect pool to enjoy while enjoying the Hawaiian coast scenery. The house was stocked with all the essentials you need to enjoy your stay plus all beach supplies to venture out. There were even thoughtful children’s items for play, sleep, and pool safety & fun. It was a perfect stay and for our whole family to come together and we’re already discussing our next visit. Thank you!

    First impression upon arrival - wow! What a beautiful home with the most beautiful view! We are every meal except for a few times we were adventuring on the patio overlooking the ocean. We slept every night with the windows open, enjoying the sound of the crashing waves. The pool was very enjoyable as well for kids and adults alike. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of room for our group of 11. The folks who stayed in the cottage area also said the fold out bed was comfortable and they loved having some privacy (and peace) from the chaos of the kids. The kitchen was well equipped and we enjoyed using the grill. We found the location of the home to be quite convenient for our many adventures. Nancy was a wonderful host and answered our many questions before we had even booked the property. Her communication never wavered and she was quick to respond to messages or texts. We cannot say enough wonderful things about this property! I hope we’re able to return in the future!

    We had 13 people stay at this ocation ranging from a 3 year old to a 66 year ol. The house and cottage worked excellent for our group. The place was clean and tody and all amenities were in good shape. Obviously the pool got the most use from the kids. Location is great unless you want to be near the busy part of town, nice and quiet for us and there was easy access to the main roads when we wanted. Overall an outstanding stay in a great location. MAHALO!

    We were a group of 13 ranging in age from 2-63. It accommodated every age. There were children’s dishes, toys and many pool toys. We had a member who was celiac so the extra guest house was perfect. She was able to keep that space gluten free and thus remain healthy. The location was perfect. We saw whales and beautiful sunsets. The deck and pool made a great place to wind down and touch base with the rest of the group. Definitely would stay here again if the opportunity presented. Nancy was very approachable and quick to respond when she was asked anything. Thank you for a 10/10 holiday.

    Our family of 13, including an infant and 5 year old twins, had a great time over the Thanksgiving holiday. The property had plenty of room for all of us, and we had great time using the pool and watching spectacular sunsets each evening. The whales were just arriving from Alaska, and that was a unique experience.

    This property was everything that was listed and more! Upon deciding to bring our family to Hawaii in celebration of our 50th wedding anniversary, I started looking for a property that checked all the boxes and this was it! We were not disappointed. Our family ranged in age from 6 to 76 and there was something for everyone to enjoy. The property is very well maintained and the manager thinks of everything to make sure your stay is enjoyable. Nancy was a joy to work with from the time I booked the property, til the time we left the property. IF she was needed, she would respond promptly. Thanks Nancy for the use of your lovely home and for making our 50th a trip to remember.
