We had our first empty-nester trip at Scott and Tara's studio, and we had such a fantastic time. The unit is located in a beautiful neighborhood, super clean, well-appointed, comfortable and Scott and Tara are so friendly and kind and communicative. We loved our stay and will definitely be back! Mahalo Scott and Tara!
Tucked away in a quite suburb, the studio is spacious and super tidy. The hosts are lovely people who were always happy to help. With the beautiful beach only a 10min walk away and easy access to local amenities you never had to go far to get what you need.
As a former local. Owing home for a couple of weeks, I know Kahala might be a good fit. It was great. Super convenient to hopping on H1 to see my parents. My BF had never been to Hawaii before and he loved the south shore. Scott is great! Very private.
Our stay at Scott and Tara’s studio was perfect. From the booking process, to check-in, to the stay, to the check-out, everything was flawless. They made us feel more than welcome at their property and the unit was ideal for our needs. We utilized VRBO and selected the unit last minute after modifying our original vacation plans from Maui, and Scott and Tara helped save our trip for certain. The location of the unit is also a great home base for all aspects of exploring the island. We would definitely stay again should we find ourselves on Oahu once again.
This property was perfect for us.
* Exceptionally clean
* Close to the beach (walking distance)
* Very comfortable bed
* Quiet and safe neighborhood
* A perfect place to come back to after a full day of Oahu bliss
* Excellent and responsive host
* We will stay here again!
Everything about this place was fantastic. The hosts are so nice and attentive. The place was clean and spacious. The location can’t be beat. Highly recommend.
Quick and excellent communication with the host. Very welcoming and helpful. Extremely clean and comfortable rental. Exactly as pictured and described. Super comfy bed, amazing shower and everything one could possibly need. Fantastic location in a very quiet and charming neighborhood. Our favorite part was the little front area garden with the umbrella table and chairs. We had our coffee and breakfast outside each morning and enjoyed the beautiful flora and fauna in our little oasis. A true delight!
Having been a resident of Honolulu for many years, we were looking for a place to "call home" for our stay. Nothing could have made our time any better. Scott and Tara were wonderful host, and EVERYTHING was thought of to make our honeymoon perfect. Mahalo Scott and Tara! Until next time.
Location is everything. The property is in Honolulu, yet miles from the hustle and bustle - or the noise and traffic - of Waikiki. The spacious room is comfortable and spotless. The front yard area exclusive to the unit has a gas grill in excellent working order. Right of way to a delightful beach is less than a ten minute walk away. Tara and Scott are gracious hosts. Everything was as advertised!
I only have good things to say about our stay! Scott and Tara are such amazing hosts and we truly had the best time. This vacation rental has everything you need, and it's located in one of the best neighborhoods in O'ahu.
We had a wonderful stay in Scott's Studio. We had everything we needed, all was clean, and bed was very comfortable. We really enjoyed the small outdoor seating area / porch as well. It was a great spot to have breakfast and close out each day. The location was great too, quiet and at the same time close to everything. Great food options nearby. We'll be dreaming of the next time we can make it back again. Mahalo Scott for being such a great host!
Well, it's 5 stars from the minute you walk in. But Scott gets more stars than that for his friendly, professional and great guy personality. The studio is in a gorgeous and safe neighborhood, you have easy parking and it's very private. It's 100% more private than a condo or a hotel hands down. There are upgraded amenities throughout. And the location is just pretty great. Also, don't book this cuz we want it to be available when we come back. Haha, just kidding! You should book it because it's super nice and you'll be happy.
Scott was a great host. The place was located in a quiet neighborhood and very nice and clean. All the amenities if you would like to cook and eat in. A short walk to the beach. Great location Diamond head, the mall and access to H1. Loved sitting on the outside patio to have my morning coffee and read my book.
We had a great stay at the Kahala attached guesthouse! Scott and Tara where very helpful with everything we needed to make our stay as comfortable and smooth as possible. They even helped with retrieving an article of clothing I had left behind. The location is fantastic with easy access to Waikiki and all of Honolulu plus the nearby freeway entrance to get to other sides of the island. We appreciate our time spent at the Kahala house.
So many wonderful things to say about the entire experience that I could write a novel. Our host Scott, the studio, the amenities, the local style decor, the location - all of it - top notch. And the large walk-in shower was a surprise plus that we loved. So many thoughtful details, including a drying rack for wet swimwear. A small favorite memory: one afternoon we fell asleep in the comfy chairs just outside the double doors leading to the studio - under the blue sky, sun beaming on our shoulders, with the fragrance of puakenikeni flowers wafting through the air. All we could hear were the mynah birds and tradewinds blowing through the trees. A true gem. Mahalo nui loa, Scott!
This studio apartment was perfect for our visit. We were able to walk to where our son's family was renting as well as the beach and shopping. Small appliances were thoughtfully chosen to allow some simple meals. We were impressed with the cleanliness and comfort. We would clearly consider this property again.
My husband and I felt like we were at home. The studio was spacious, very clean and well maintained. There was a huge shower with plenty of towels and toiletries. The bed was very comfy with high quality linens. We parked right in the driveway steps away from the entrance. No parking fees here! Although we didn’t watch tv, there was a huge tv with cable access. There was plenty of supplies to have our breakfast and my all time favorite nespresso coffee. This truly made our stay there enjoyable. Thank you Scott for sharing your piece of paradise.
What a great apartment! The space was so well appointed, the garden was divine, the hosts were so gracious, and the neighborhood and location were perfect. Bravo and thank you.
Just as advertised, this beautiful spacious studio was just perfect for my visit. The location was so convenient to everywhere I needed to go, plus being in an upscale, safe neighborhood near a peaceful beach. It was nice to not to have to deal with crowds, traffic, parking lots, hotel lobbies and elevators during a pandemic. A home away from home.
This location was perfect for me and the place was lovely. It is close to Kahala Mall, parks and a quick drive into Waikiki. The quiet setting in a beautiful area was a wonderful retreat! Scott was a perfect host and responded very quickly to any communication. Great stay!
we had a wonderful time in honolulu. the studio is great and in a quiet and safe neighbourhood. it is a perfect location to drive around the island. Tara and Scott are wonderful hosts and we hope to stay there again next time. Mahalo! Katja and Richard
