- The overall quality of the Bay Front Kohola Hale Estate was excellent. The condition of the rental was excellent and provided plenty of room for our group of 12. We were very satisfied and would book the rental again. The owner was very friendly and helpful which made the stay much more enjoyable. Shiela provided excellent service but there was confusion on check in probably due to our misunderstanding. The best part of the trip was the many activities that Oahu offered. Hawaii is a great place to vacation.

- The house and the property are beautiful. The owner is friendly, helpful and pleasant. It was cool and quiet. My family and I had a great time. The only negative thing that I can say is that it is hard to find, especially in the dark. Once you reach the house, the view is breathtaking.

- The main house and grounds were gorgeous! Beautiful view of the sunrise and sunset on the water. The main house was very nice and elegant. The kitchen was a joy to work in and held our entire party for meals. The downside was that the "caretaker" left her young son to take care of things while she was out of the country and that became a major problem as the dishwasher was not working the first night of our week long stay. The Jacuzzi did not heat up at all and both of these were not fixed the entire time. The 3 bedroom home on the property has a master bedroom but without the bathroom attached. The second bedroom in the home has an air conditioner and cools the room sufficiently, but there is an decorative opening above the door and you can hear everything in the house. The third bedroom does not have an AC unit which made several nights very humid and warm to sleep. There were other smaller issues too, but overall not bad.

Comment by Owner/Manager:
I apologize for the dishwasher not operating correctly. I had arranged for the repairman to come in on Friday since the dishwasher is less than a year old, the repairman ran the unit for 35 minutes and he said nothing was wrong. I think maybe this unit is touch sensitive, therefore, it may have been disrupted if someone accidentally touched it. As for the Jacuzzi, I checked with the pool service company which comes weekly on Monday, he said it was running fine. I think the temperature is preset at 104 degree. As for the three bedroom unit, the third bedroom has always been with a fan, I will take your advice and maybe find a location suitable to install an air conditioning unit for that room.
- Overall the place was fantastic. The large main house and the kitchen accommodated our large crowd. We cooked many of the nights and it was great to have 2 grills there. We loved being able to have breakfast out on the patio with the rising sun. Jennifer (the owner) was so sweet and very helpful. Only a few suggestions - invest a few more kitchen towels. We were washing the few that were there daily. The screen doors in the studio apt. were difficult to open and close. And we did kill a few roaches while there, although I understand they are common in Hawaii. Otherwise I would highly recommend this property to anyone with a large group. Thank you again for helping me with the booking! Janet Lander

The guests were very nice and I apologize for the shortage of kitchen towels. With regard to roaches, we are during the summer heat therefore the roaches are more visible, I have schedule pest treatment to address that concern. I will address to door issues right away. Thank you for their kind comments.
- We had a wonderful time and the property was beautiful. The family who owns the property was helpful and friendly. We would definitely stay again.

- Property was beautiful and spacious for a group of 20. The view was breathtaking but it can get very windy on this side of the island at times. The house decor is a little dated but it was comfortable and reflected the island-style. Friendly property managers, who live on the property, made us feel very welcome. Enjoyed the hawaiian fishing pond, pool, jacuzzi, and fire pit. Parking is sufficient for the advertised 5 car spaces, however, it is a narrow driveway so ingress and egress can sometimes be tricky.
