Great location!!

Very unique setup! It felt a bit like a camp as we had 3 separate buildings and then one building had a kitchen/living area, but bathroom doors were outside of main living area. We were slightly shocked to find several geckos living in the kitchen when we got there at night! This is a VERY open air rental with NO AC, so I must have missed that info when booking. There was a scorpion in the bathroom and I did contact the owner about having someone come to spray for that and she did. After renting several VRBOs this is the slowest responses I have received, even though this was a holiday season, a little surprised at that when I was concerned about geckos and a scorpion!It was clean, just older and not quite what we expected for the high price we paid. The location is nice, but several people took over the beach on the property so it isn’t your own beach while renting and you will need to put chairs out to save a spot.I would recommend the owner update the instruction book for detailed checkout instructions as they were missing and I had to ask.This is a nice place to have a family vacation, just a little too open air for those with allergies and bug fears. It felt a little weird not being able to lock things up well as it’s so open and you really can’t use the bathroom at night without going outside to walk to one at night if your room doesn’t have one attached.Cool concept for the right families who aren’t bothered by those things.Had Some nice touches like games/cards!

Enjoyable Stay

Great location for beach, off the beaten path for other activities. Access is unique and more unusual after hours, requiring dealing with a gate and gate lock! However, house is comfortable and secluded. Guests wake to nature sounds, birds and chickens (roosters) each morning.

Paradise

Coming from New York City, it took me a minute to adjust to the indoor/outdoor living, but this was a perfect place for our family to gather for winter break, including grandparents and kids. Hearing the sounds of nature and the ocean at night was magical, and being able to walk down to the beach during the day was great. Leilani was a great host, responded quickly to our many questions which made it easy for us to settle in. The natural beauty surrounding the property is stunning, and we loved the easy access to Beach 69 and Hapuna Beach. We loved our stay at the Treadwell House!

Fabulous family trip

We stayed with my 3 sons and their families. This house is in an amazing location. You see the ocean from the house but are set back far enough that you don’t see the beach goers nor do they see you. The main living area is open spacious and comfortable. The bedrooms are basic and comfortable as are the bathrooms. If you need marble countertops and high end fixtures this is not the place for you. The house has everything needed for a comfortable stay. Snorkeling was wonderful, sunsets were wonderful. The beach is beautiful. We had a wonderful stay.

Relax and Restore

This was my second time being blessed to stay at this amazing property. I can't say enough good things about the property and the management. The location can't be beat. The house is like camp for architects -- it is low key and focused on the outdoors, yet the beautiful architectural details make it feel luxe. Thank you Leilani for being available before and during our trip to make sure we had everything we needed to unplug. We hope to visit again soon!

Steps to beach

Location can’t be beat- sandy, shaded beach steps away. Best snorkeling of our trip right outside our door. Saw manta rays one morning while kayaking! Indoor-outdoor living, feels like camping but with amenities. Tons of birds, lizards, nature. Very close to resorts for a dose of that if you want. Otherwise, secluded and natural.
