Great for families!

We spent Christmas at Hawaii Kai and it was perfect. It is close to Hanauma Bay and many other great beaches. It provided privacy in a quiet neighborhood but was a short drive to Waikiki and other attractions. Great gathering spaces, beds are so comfortable and it was nice having a kitchen and washer/dryer. Plenty of beach supplies to use. We hope to visit again!!

Great location, size & communication with property manager.

Our family had a wonderful stay. The house was warm and welcoming. Unfortunately the living room lights didn’t work the entire week. The property manager was very responsive but we couldn’t resolve the issue.

Quiet escape

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Location was convenient. Costco and Safeway nearby. Right off the freeway so it was a short and easy drive out to Waikiki. House was very hot, but there should be enough fans to keep everyone comfortable.

Great house but hot

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family of 6 enjoyed our stay there. The space was great and we loved the supply of towels and beach gear made available to us. My only complaint is that the house stayed pretty hot the entire time we were there. There are window units in each bedroom but the rest of the house stayed hot. We closed the bedroom doors at night which helped to cool the bedrooms better.

Great place!

We very much enjoyed our stay at this house. The accommodations were excellent, and gave us a comfortable place where we could see the sights on the island. The home had everything we needed to cook amazing meals and it really felt like a tropical home in paradise. The property was very private and quiet, perfect place to recharge and re-center. I would 1000% recommend this for a quiet, off the beaten path yet centrally located, place to spend a vacation! The only thing I'd point out is the alarm was armed once we got to the house and we didn't have a code to disarm it. But we gave Vacasa a quick call and within a minute we were able to disarm it and enjoy the house, so if this happens to you, once you open the door if you hear a beep, call Vacasa immediately and they will let you know the code. I'd definitely stay again at this place hopefully for a longer period of time!

Disappointing

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property was a last minute ( 2 weeks ) substitution when our original property was cancelled on us 2 weeks before arrival. The property description said "air conditioning" There were three older model loud window air conditioners in the three bedrooms. The living room / dining room / kitchen area where not air conditioned and very warm (day time temperature 85 degrees) even with three fans going. Lanai unusable because of heat. TV has basic local channels, no weather channel, ESPN, fox or any other sports channels - obviously owners don't want to spend any money. Location was a good, quite neighborhood and 2 car garage came in handy. Cleanliness not an issue

Warm cozy house

Easy experience booking the property. The property management company was very prompt at answering inquiries. Their system is thru text so no waiting on the phone for someone to help. The house was very hot. There are many fans in the house but half of them weren’t working. Yes, they power on but I think It needs a good cleaning. There’s a window AC unit in the lanai but it doesn’t help the house at all. Just keep the front door and the yard door opened, but keep the screen doors closed. The draft will help cool the house down. Use a fan in the bathroom too, otherwise your shower would be useless.. you’ll come out stickier than when you went in. We had 2 people share a room and we each had a fan blowing at us when we sleep. Tons of towels available. The house is nicely equipped with all kitchenware, silverware, and plates/bowl. Fridge has ice machine so it was a super big plus! Very nice they had many beach gear (boards, snorkeling items, and chairs) and beach towels to use. The garage was too short for our Chevy Tahoe we had to park it in the cul de sac. Friendly neighbors! Overall, nice and safe location to stay!

House was nice and could ise some improvements

I have communicated my concerns with the Vacasa people who are located in Portland Oregon area. Never saw a propertymanager or workers. Master bathroom shower had slippery glazed tile floor and no grip bars in case of slipping. Bathroom had no bathmat so bathtowel had to be used as it was slippery when wet also Electrical outlets in the house were cheap as when you plugged in the connection was loose. Replace with Levitron. Livingroom eastside sliding door had no curtain to shade glare as TV was adjacent to it. minimal ants around the kitchen sink area so we bought ant traps. Hallway bathroom was fine, no complaints. we were told no parking on the street , but we experienced neighbors parking on the street and overnite. No directions other than security dorr and alarm so TV was a challenge since there were 5 controllrsbin the livingroom. Every extended stay house or Condo we have stayed in always had thorough directions AND someone to greet us when we arrived. Finally when wevarrived there were 2 cars in the driveway for over an hour ( neighbor) so we had to park in the supposed off limits street. The house was quiet with quiet neighbors and the Hawaii Kai area if fine for morning walks and nearby shopping ( by auto) We enjoyed our stay , but would probably stay in KoOlina Condos in the future. Only reason we stayed in Hawaii Kai was our grandson was playing in a hoops tourney in Honolulu. They won!! ALOHA!! The Nakamuras' of East Bay Norcal

Enjoyable

Overall we enjoyed our stay at the property. We had some minor issues with a leaking refrigerant the issue was addressed. There were some tiny gnats on the sheets in one of the bedrooms and when we wanted to wash the sheets there wasn’t any detergent available. When we called for detergent and garbage bags they were delivered the next day. I was told there was air conditioning in all the rooms before we arrived but found the living/dining room area without one and even there were fans it was quite warm. The property was in a nice and convenient area.

Relaxing stay in Hawai'i Kai!

The house was beautiful, with a pretty garden for outdoor dining, and well located- close to fabulous windward beaches (esp Waimanalo) and Waikiki. Kitchen was well stocked but needs kettle and/or saucepans. Grocery store and restaurants close by. We had a great vacation!

Great place in cool neighborhood

We had a great time staying here. Looks exactly like the pictures (maybe a little nicer in person) and was immaculate when we arrived. Safe neighborhood and walking distance to the beach and market. Awesome launching spot for a lot of activities across the island. Ran low on a couple basics in the house and was immediately addressed by the property management team. Two thumbs up.

The whole process for our stay went off without a hitch. The house was what we were expecting based on the photos, etc that we had access to when we were selecting the property for our stay. Location made it convenient for accessing both sides of the island. Communication with Vrbo and Turnkey.. loved the proper And would rent again.

Roomies Reunite

A perfect setting for college friends and their spouses to reconnect. Close to grocery stores, gas stations and restaurants as well as easy access to the main attractions of the island. Lots of space and well equipped to prepare and eat meals together. Laundry facilities and ample garage space was a plus. The culdesac was small and maneuvering our vehicle in and out of the driveway was tricky at times because of other vehicles parked in the street. The property was well maintained and decorated with an island theme. It was a comfortable setting for our almost two week Hawaiian get away.
