Perfect Vacation Rental!

We came in the middle of March and it was perfect. There was four adults and we were comfortable the entire time. The house is very clean, and has a fully stocked kitchen. The owner was very flexible with our schedule changes, and was very easy to deal with. Would book this house again in a heart beat!

Clean ,private, close to restaurants, awesome host.

The accommodations met our needs. We were here for a medical reason. Jess was a lovely hostess , excellent communication. We hope to come back again. So nice to be away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki.
