Cottage Getaway Perfection!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved this little house. Very clean and comfortable. The walk ability is great. Only downside is all the mattresses could use an upgrade! Too hard for perfect comfort. But that’s a personal preference. Maybe some memory foam toppers could be on hand for us picky people.

Location was amazing. Loved the property. Clean and beautiful, as advertised. We appreciated the extra towels and beach equipment. Only slight downside is low privacy with lots of open windows and nearby neighbors.

Fantastic stay! This home is so charming and has everything you could need. Extremely clean and the beds were comfortable. Note that the house does not have AC. We stayed in September and found we didn't need it, the fans worked well for us. We will stay again if in the area!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was very clean and the location was excellent. For as much as we paid I did expect a little bit more amenities. I definitely think they should invest in a dishwasher. But otherwise I completely understand that we are paying for the location. Location and cleanliness was excellent. Also we were very happy that we could do late checkout if we paid for half a day stay. Which was essential since we have two young kids and a red eye that day.

Comfortable home, ideal location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: An ideal home base for our North Shore vacation, this home allowed us to feel like we lived right in Hanalei. Super easy walk to the beach, even carrying all our gear. Walking to town for meals and shopping is even easier. We loved being on a quiet, residential street where we could get good sleep and have plenty of space all to ourselves. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. It felt like home for the time we were lucky enough to stay there. I would definitely stay there again!
