Kahala Beach Estate
Suggest they redo the main house kitchen. To install a small safe for both the main house and cottage will be good

Kahala Estate Cottage
There were many positives about this rental property. It was clean and well kept. When we had a wi-fi problem the owner was quick to rectify it. The property was in a quiet, lovely, safe location. It was away from the hustle and bustle (and noise) of Waikiki, but just a short drive away from Waikiki and Kahala Mall (which has a Whole Foods that we like to shop at). The short walk to the beach was very pleasant and easy and it was an easy walk to the Kahala Resort for a dinner or drinks out. The kitchen was well supplied with enough cookware for us to make our Thanksgiving dinner with all the fixings. We had a wonderful time.

Our vacation started the moment we entered the home. We were in an oasis that was secluded from the world. The weather was perfect and we kept the sliding doors to the kitchen and living room open all the time We were so comfortable at the house that we stayed home,cooked and enjoyed the fresh fruit and the large sparkling pool every other day. There are so many things to do in Hawaii and we enjoyed Pearl Harbour, Dinner cruise and the Lau Oui. If you live in a rat race at home and need to really get away and relax and enjoy things around you and feel like you don't need a vacation from your vacation then I recommend this beautiful home. You are seconds away from the beach for a stroll at night. If you aren't up to a stroll then you are a few seconds from the store to pick up some wine, light some candles and have a soothing jacuzzi bath. You can even take a relaxing swim in the large sparkling pool before that nice bath. To end our wonderful and romantic vacation we had Yannick (a fabulous chef) cook for us. The wine, food, bread and dessert chosen by our chef was superb. He even thru in some great conversation. You will love his accent and his humor. He served us and even cleaned our places afterwards. Yannick you are the best and we look forward to seeing you again. Everything was made perfect for us. We were so pleased in the fact that we chose this home to rent instead of hotels or villas. We have told all our friends and we will return next year to our favorite oasis Is has been 33 years of working hard with no time to relax. We want to thank you for making this getaway so perfect for us Regards Denise & William Great state of Texas

Estate at Kahala Beach
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.

What we liked best was the privacy afforded by the trees and walls around the backyard pool area. The ultra-modern appliances and home theater were also appreciated greatly. We HIGHLY recommend dinner at Alan Wong's in Honolulu. Advice for future tenants includes: read ALL the notes on the appliances, A/C units, water heaters and home theater. Preview the kitchen before going shopping. Excellent smoothies and mixed drinks can be made with the Vita Mix blender above the oven. Bring your iPod as it hooks easily in to the indoor/outdoor speaker system. Bring water shoes for the rocky beach and coral bottom ocean. We surfed, jet skied, para sailed, hiked and snorkeled Hanauma Bay. The snorkeling was probably the most impressive, but all were fun and reasonably close to the house. The beach is only 50 or so yards from the driveway, but the waves are over 500 yards out, so it is relatively safe for kids with water shoes on to play there, but not very exciting for those hoping to body surf. Overall an impressive home. Wish I could retire there!

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.

We enjoyed staying at this home but we were disappointed in the condition of the pool and were unable to use the spa because the remote control for it was missing. The rooms were very comfortable and there is plenty of space for large groups. The location of the house is great for getting downtown. Also, though the home information said there is a beach within 5 minutes walk, that is not exactly true... you have to cross the edge of a golf course and hotel property to get to the hotel's private beach. A better option is to just drive up the coast where you will find many wonderful beaches.

Dear Hosts, we enjoyed staying in your beautiful guest house. The setting of your home is outstanding. For next time rental it would be helpful, to have some glass or porcelain bowls for serving meals, also a blender and mixer for cooking. Best regards Gabriele, Judith and Thomas
