Absolutely Perfect
This property is amazing! Steps to Waimanalo Beach, perfect for a couple wanting a true immersion into Hawaii and local culture. The neighborhood is incredibly quiet, the neighbors on the property are so kind and friendly. The rental itself is incredible! Totally secluded, tons of privacy. Truly a dream vacation rental! We will be coming back to stay.

Waimānalo cottage stay
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at our favorite beach in Hawaii! The place is a small cottage, perfect for the two of us. It was about 100 yards to the water, and we walked over every morning and every evening to enjoy the waves. There were a couple of boogie boards at the house and we used them all the time. We also used the small grill provided and appreciated the washer and dryer right by. Everything was just very easy. Loved it!

Lovely private property
I needed last minute accommodations to visit a sick relative. The management went above and beyond to make my stay perfect. The house has a private entrance and gated parking. The entry terrace has a zen feel and is a perfect place for coffee or a glass of wine at the umbrellaed table. It is also well equipped with a grill. Behind the unit is everything you need for a day at the beautiful private beach, just down the street. The kitchen is perfect and has all the essentials. Check the cabinets before you shop as some things are already there. The walk in closet is combined with the bathroom and makes unpacking a breeze. The bed is comfy with ample bedding . I stayed by myself but i could see a family staying comfortably as there us also a sleeper sofa. This is a gem of a place

WoW un vrai oasis de paix
Nous avons adorés notre séjour à la maison de Mark. L’emplacement est plus que parfait! Nous avons beaucoup visité et tout était pratiquement à plus ou moins 20 min. La plage est magnifique et on dirait presque privée pour nous. La maison est très bien équipée. Tout a été pensé pour nous faire passer le meilleur séjour possible. Que dire de la terrasse…WoW WoW WoW!!! Endroit PARFAIT pour de beaux petits souper en famille avec en prime, le chants des oiseaux tropicaux. Je vous recommande ce beau petit coin de paradis. Mahalo

EXCELLENT location. EXCELLENT cottage. EXCELLENT location
We had a little misfortune finding the address but after that, everything was excellent. LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION, you want to be fare from the crowded beach but close to everything else this is the place to stay. The birds on the tree in front of the cottage are by themselves heaven. Around 7pm, they start their audio show and it is amazing, we loved it. Some suggestions: Too much decoration around windows and tables, we were all the time afraid kids drop something or break a decorative item. It was just too many decorative items. The key in the lockbox does not open or lock anything. The electronic lock was excellent idea. You need a pizza cutter we had to use knifes to cut our pizzas, tried to purchase one from the store but no luck finding one. Washing towel demand is unreal because in the morning of our departure, we needed to shower and use towels, but we washed/dried the beach towel for you. In general, people do not want to wash/dry or do house chores while on vacation.

Beautiful less busy beach
Amazing is the first word that comes to mind for Waimanalo Beach! Not overcrowded like Waikiki and the sand is like powder. The house doesn't have ac aside from in the bedrooms just for at night. With the trade winds and fans though it was nice. House had two bathrooms with one shower and one tub. Nice backyard with lots of furniture and things to do. There was an umbrella, boogie boards, a surf board, snorkeling gear etc for you to use. Make sure to read how to use the grill. Right across from the beach too! You walk out to the left and one house down and there is an access. An Aloha good time.

Beds were very comfy. Lots of space inside and out . Safe neighborhood. If your looking for the Ritz Carlton this is not for you, if you looking for the Holiday Inn you have hit the jackpot!

Great Stay
We had a wonderful stay! The house was clean, the beds so comfortable, and so nice that the beach is a 2 minute walk away!! The only bummer was we bought a bunch of food to grill but there was no propane in the tank. Other than that it was perfect!

Hawaii Dream Vacation
First I can tell you Matt went above and beyond to accommodate us and make us feel welcome. The place is ideal just across the street from the beach. We had a fantastic magical vacation. The house was clean and Matt provided extra fans for us and a new blender. If your looking a a great beach house to stay at this is the place we felt very safe and plan on returning again.

Comfortable and convenient access to the beach. Loved the front and back porch.
Enjoyed our stay. We only wished there was a ceiling fan in all the rooms including the dining area. But we just left the windows open so it had a nice breeze. Loved the set up of the home, would liked to have two showers but it still worked for us. Overall the access to Waimanalo Beach was remarkable, definitely worth for us and for us to return. Plenty or towels and anything we needed. Thank you

Family vacay
My sister originally booked us two rooms at the Hale Koa in Honolulu. Then, she thought a home rental might work better for us. My family of six met my sister and niece in Hawaii for a week of fun in the sun. I looked at several locations but the open space of this house was kid friendly. Also, many homes on VRBO have a lot of glass tables and beautiful decor but that can make stress parents out thinking their kids might get hurt or break something. We didn’t spend the majority of our time in the house but we definitely enjoyed it over downtown Honolulu. Every morning my husband and kids would walk the beach and collect sea shells to show me. They loved talking to the people they met and meeting their dogs. I wish I’d gone with them but I enjoyed morning coffee and chats with my sister. My husband and I had one room and my sister and niece had another. My kids slept well on the futons. It can be intimidating to leave your kids asleep with open windows but all homes in Hawaii have open windows because many don’t have air conditioning. This home had an air conditioner in each room and that cooled them off in the evenings. My sister’s room had a ceiling fan and I wish I’d chosen that room because I like more circulating air. The book on the table was very helpful. We also found a magazine with maps of the island that helped us decide places to go. We also all loved the Hawaiian Caramacs that we’re left on the table for us. They’re super yummy!! We decided to find the house after arriving island even though it was before check in. The lady who was cleaning was very nice and her son was sweet and funny. She recommended a place for lunch but we ended up eating plate lunches at Keneke’s. I highly recommend trying their teri chicken plate lunch. Mark called us on our second day there to see if everything was going okay. Because my sister and I used to live on Oahu we didn’t have a lot of questions for him but it was nice that he called. We had a great time on vacation and would highly recommend this rental to friends and family.

Picture Perfect exactly what I was looking for !!! This bright & airy spacious house is fully equipped with all the amenities one would love traveling with Large front and back yard & spacious patio with BBQ. It is perfectly located right across the street from local beach access with plenty of beach toys & chairs available for use. I absolutely love this hidden beach Gem, with lots of love and care put into it. Thank you, Holly & Mark, for making this a wonderful experience <3

Amazing Property on the Best Beach
House was a place we could call home for our family of 8. Had everything we needed and then some. Kids loved the backyard and all the beach toys. AC was nice but we only needed it 1 or 2 of the days. Sleeping was amazing listening to the waves. Waimanalo Beach is fantastic and so peaceful. Can't wait to come back.

Clean, comfortable and close to the beach
I spent four days and nights at this rental property and have a mixture of reflections. As indicated in the title, the property was clean, comfortable and close to the beach, which are all a definite plus. As a solo traveler, this property was probably too big for my needs and would better suit a group or family. However, it served my needs adequately. Communications with the owner/manager were fine and responses were prompt. A couple of things that could be improved on include the gate operation mechanism, which, given the height of the gate, was difficult to operate from the street side. I also found it difficult to open and close some of the windows. To end on a positive note, the availability of a clothes washer and dryer was ideal and saved me traveling with dirty clothes, and the AC in the bedrooms helped combat the very humid evenings. I'd probably return but with some fellow travelers next time. Mahalo..

Amazing property and Fantastic Location
Our family of 9 had an amazing time at this property. House was clean as were the furnishing. Kitchen was well stocked and the the beach toys were awesome. Kids loved the yard and we liked having piece of mind with the gate. Beach is right across the street and you wont find a nice one on island. We looked but should've just stayed in Waimanalo
