Cute cottage
Overall state was very good. The traffic on the street at night is extremely noisy especially for a person sleeping in the bed in the living room. It’s very close to the windows. The cottage is neat and clean, however, using any of the boogie board/outdoor equipment, was impossible due to condition of them. We did have guests staying in the studio for part of our trip. They are very close and you can hear them working in their kitchen when you are sitting outside at your table it’s not as private as we would have liked it to be. The beach is absolutely spectacular and for that location can’t be beat. However, there really is nothing close to walk to. Host was approachable and when we needed him, he was easily reachable. Overall a great stay!

Perfect in so many ways!
My family (2 adults, 3 teens and a tween) stayed in the home for 2 weeks, it was perfect in so many ways!! Very spacious, everything you could need for a relaxing vacation. The beds were comfortable, the house was clean, a good selection of beach gear, more than enough towels (for everyday use and the beach), and a clothesline to hang everything on. The house was a 5 minute stroll to a beautiful uncrowded beach through a quiet and friendly neighborhood. A 15-20 minute drive gets you to grocery stores and restaurants. Vic is such a great host, welcoming, answers any questions you have and has a great collection of maps and guide books to use. This is really the perfect home for your family get away and we cannot wait to come back!

Waimanalo Gem
Oh the East side of the island. The 2 bedroom house was comfortable and having a full kitchen was great. Also, walking to one of the best beaches in Waimanalo to watch the sunrise and swim. Definitely a place to “E komo mai”
