Oahu reviews

Guest Rating:

The unit was ok. We found bugs all throughout the condo. there wasn't much in kitchen appliances i.e. no toaster, oven mitts, or a cookie sheet. In addition, the bath tub did not drain well. We did pay a deposit and would like credit ASAP. bob and candace kinzig

I can't begin to tell you how wonderful our vacation in Ocean Treehouse was! It was simply an exceptional property, beautifully equiped in every way. From the kitchen equiped for a gourmet, to the tasteful furnishings and homey touches, to the view of the ocean from the huge lanaii, I couldn't have dreamed of a better place to spend a vacation. I can't wait to return.

You couldn't be closer to the water! It was disappointing not to have a lanai or window coverings to keep out the early morning light. There was one major negative - the roaches!!! This is not something we wanted to deal with while on vacation. They were everywhere - in the dishwasher and microwave, on the walls, on your toothbrush in the morning, dead ones all over the floor. What a drag..... I would definitely not stay in this building again. We found two excellent restaurants, Jameson's by the Sea and Ola at Turtle Bay Resort. Great little health food store in town.

I traveled with 5 other family members and there was enough space for us all. We all enjoyed the 3 televisions. The tennis courts were always open and we played daily. The heated pool was great. We would definitely stay here again.

I made these arrangements with a group of friends that were attending the pro-bowl. They all had different agendas and places to go. We were all very happy with the space at the rental. Everyone had plenty of room and found that it was very comfortable to relax. We did do alot of our own cooking and found that we had everything we needed. We were very pleased that there was a grocery store within walking distance and that was a big convenience. We listened to music, watched movies and enjoyed the view while relaxing on the deck. Just a few minutes away we found the nicest beaches and enjoyed eating from the many shrimp trucks parked along the road side. We found that the coolers and folding chairs very convenient for trips to the beach and for our tailgating at the pro-bowl. This would be a great family getaway. Nice and quiet. I have already told many of my friends and family about the property and hope that everyone enjoys it as much as I did. We did have a couple of very minor issues but when I called, they were immediately taken care of.
Thank you so much

The rental was very clean and comfortable. I loved being able to sit on the balcony and see the ocean. It was just a short walk to the beach which was especially nice for the evening sunset. It is just a short drive to the bonzi pipeline and waimea beaches.

Hello. You will really enjoy staying here. This home has four bedrooms and a really nice kitchen/living room area/sitting area. There is plenty of room and it is clean and nice. We traveled all over the Island of Oahu, including the North Shore and Hanauma Bay, which is South, and everything is beautiful; but there was not a more beautiful place than the beach here at Kailua. You can take a leisurely walk and be there at the beach in about eight minutes and when you get there, oh my goodness, the view is absolutely breathtaking. The town is nice and has good shopping and restaurants. The owners of this home are really nice and we certainly enjoyed our stay. We do hope to come back here again and stay here because there's not a more beautiful place on Oahu! Please do take the part seriously though, about being quiet after 8:00pm. They are serious about that...no parties or crowds or loud noises at night. This was the only part that kinda rained on our parade the first evening. But then, we just tried to follow those rules and everything else was great. Blessings to all.

Although the unit did not have a beach view, the premisis was right on the beach. There was a hammock between some trees and just listening to the surf and watching the clouds was relaxing. The beach is narrow but one can walk to the north end of the beach which is about 1/4 mile. Raymond, the owner, was very friendly and lent us goggles and fins.
The bathroom has a shower with a huge shower head that gives wonderful, coursing water. The three bedrooms are comfortable. The front room and dining room combine and make a good gathering place to eat, snack, play games, and hang out.
The house is directly across from the Polynesian Cultural Center parking lot. We visited the center for a few hours, walked across the street to eat and rest up, and then returned for the evening show. We got home about 10 minutes after the show ended. Those from Waikiki must have had over an hour's drive ahead of them. This is one excellent opportunity for learning more about the polynesian culture.
The location of the house made it easy to watch surfers at the Bonzai Pipeline, only about 10-15 minutes away. The surf was about 8-10 feet and the surfing was unbelievable with some shooting the curl. We visited the white shrimp van and had an excellent meal of 12 butter shrimp and 2 scoops of rice for 12 bucks.
I had already stayed for a week at the West Coast at Makaha so it was a nice balance for the vacation.
I recommend this accomodation to anyone who is going to Oahu and wants a comfortable, well situated house to stay in.
