Our entire family enjoyed the house, pool, beach and yard. Lots of lounging space and water toys to entertain young and old. The large and well equipped kitchen made cooking easy and family friendly. We would definitely like to come back.
The entire family had an awesome time. Location was amazing. Being able to walk out to your own beach ws the best. It iwas a great spot to have out family photos done. We will be back.
Beautiful property with stunning views. A perfect home for large families to gather and make memories. Just beautiful!
The property was just amazing. It exceeded expectations. The privacy of the property was perfect for our family of 10. Allowed for us to swim whenever we wanted, enjoy the sunsets from the beach, and lots of family dinners at the outdoor dining area. Highly recommend
Pictures do not do this stunning house and location justice. The Jenny House does not disappoint. This is my 3rd visit and I really hope it won’t be the last. To arrive is to instantly relax and feel the Aloha spirit move you. Thanks for a truly restorative and fun filled week.
Some distance from the main city and shopping. The beach was somewhat rocky with not a very good place to swim. The bed in the master bedroom needs to be replaced. The bed slops down to a point where you almost fall off. Also, I woke up was a sore back every morning. The house is perfect for a large family, particularly with children.
You can not swim in the ocean as the beach is full of rocks and reef. The house has poor lighting, the cook top is antiquated. The TV’s need 3 remotes to operate so it is very difficult to turn on and see cable and or Apple TV. There is no central air. The sink in the powder room is broken. There are ants everywhere.
From the minute we booked our stay to the minute we left, the communication between Owner and concierge was amazing and instant replies. We were greeted at the home when we arrived by Nikki and she took care of all our needs plus 24/7 for emergencies which thankfully there were none. The house was totally stocked with plenty of glasses, dishes, silverware, pots and pans, all essentials, plus anything thing for outdoor play. The website is totally correct on the toys they have for you. Instructions on how to use everything were all very easy to follow. The views from every room in the house are all amazing. We hope to come back someday in the near future
This is by far the best house we have ever stayed at while on vacation. It was worth every penny! Great snorkelling out front with plenty of fish and turtles to see. The house and pool were amazing. We will Forsure be back.
Stayed for 10 days with the family. 2 adults and 5 children in ages from 4-17. Everyone enjoyed the place tremendously. What a wonderful place!!
This fabulous property was all we’d dreamt of and hoped for. The home was beautifully appointed and nothing was overlooked. The only downside was that the televisions were very complicated to operate and the instructions for each was different.
Property was as described. Spacious. Beautiful. Great location - out of the busy tourist area, but conveniently located. Stocked with water toys and kitchen supplies. Nathalie the manager was responsive and incredibly helpful.
One always hopes the house is as good as portrayed in the photos, and this one did not disappoint! Incredible architecture, layout and views. Wonderful outdoor living spaces, and a perfectly maintained yard. Great kitchen - we cooked in every night. Our family ranges from age 2 to 84 and everyone was comfortable and happy. To be right on the water is always a special treat, and the sunsets were spectacular.
