Estate at Kahala Beach rental April 22 to April 29, 2011 The most impressive thing about this property was the house actually looked like the pictures on the website. Many times when you rent a house or hotel, the actual accommodation isn't nearly as nice as the pictures on the website but this property was down to even the smallest detail. The property was extremely clean throughout including the outside and pool area. The location of the house was ideal in a beautiful neighborhood and right across the street from the beach. Hawaii traffic is terrible but the home had great access to stores, other beaches and shopping in Waikiki. We played golf one day and there are several courses close to the house. Our five grown children and their spouses had no problems finding things to keep themselves entertained. It was also great for two of our grandchildren. There were a couple of minor problems with the house, which were quickly corrected by our host (Ashley) who was terrific and nothing that would deter us from going back there again sometime in the future. I strongly recommend you consider this home if you're planning a trip to Oahu.

Reviews
This was an excellent rental. It is beautifully cared for and very spacious. It has a very private feel for all guests and still a luxury family setting. The only downside is the beach which was very rocky, but if you bring water shoes I think it will still be fun for all the family. The waterfall, pool and hot tub no only added to the beauty of the surroundings but were a delight for all ages. The beach is also very narrow, but also very private and just a little walk--about 5 mins-- to the left brings you to a smooth beach with rafts and a roped off family area. The furniture is for the guests of the hotel there, but the beach and stationary rafts there were open to everyone. There were a few initial problems with a few items but the owners response was very swift and all important issues were rectified within hours. Overall, these issues were minor. It was a wonderful rental. We loved every minute. The traffic thru Honolulu, no matter what time of day, was absolutely awful and adds time to every trip, and the parking there at Waikiki is very expensive. But it's a small detractor from the rest of beautiful Oahu. We explored the whole island and even spent a day on the Big Island and are still in awe of the beauty and variety of these islands. Snorkeling on Oahu was marvelous with so much sea life (including many sea turtles) to observe everywhere, even in the surf and close to shore. I'd suggest renting all your snorkel gear from Snorkel Bob's. You will use it every day you go to any beach. The Polynesian Cultural Center is a must and a full day or two of shows and interactive activities. You won't want to miss the big performance at the end. It is all family appropriate, exceptionally professional and definitely worth the price. You won't see better or more variety anywhere in Oahu or on Broadway! We also enjoyed the buffet Luau dinner, but if you are concerned with a family budget, you can leave the park, eat at McDonalds which is just around the corner, and come back in time for the show. There are many maps and activities contained in the various Alamo and Oahu magazines you find at car rentals, airports and hotels, but I purchased ($23) an Hawaii travel guide book at Barnes and Noble before the trip and it was definitely my best investment for our vacation. Thanks for making our stay a lovely memory! Nancie Ellison PS Just a note to the owner, the jacuzzi tub in the master bath never did work. Whenever we tried to use it, it would trip the fuse and never turned on. Possibly it is on the same circuit as something else that takes a lot of electricity and the two cannot be used simultaneously. We never took the time to investigate this. Also the automatic front gate kept giving us a problem, but, luckily, my son was able to fix it so it was useable, but still not fully operational. You could also include the instructions for the binds, especially for those in the master bedroom with the double cords, in the list of house details you give the renter at the beginning of the stay. Also the trash instructions are confusing and in some instances, incorrect. We figured it out by talking to neighbors, but not all renters may go to those extra lengths. I have also had rentals, so I mention these things to be helpful and not critical in any way. These issues are minor and overall, we were very pleased with the rental. We would recommend it to anyone w/o hesitation.

Incredible house! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the beach location, private pool, home theater, and gourmet kitchen were all highlights. This luxurious home exceeded our expectations, and the service from HBR was excellent! David & Janis M, San Francisco, CA
