Our family of 4 stayed here for a week exploring Oahu. We also had family at Aulani and so wanted to be close (an easy 20-minute drive). We aimed to visit Oahu and not just a resort, so we sought a good house rental as our launchpad. This place worked well in that regard.
The pros are many: the place is new (remodeled last year) and thoughtfully appointed. The dining table expands to accommodate four with two extra chairs cleverly stored in the table. We enjoyed using the beach chairs, snorkel sets, and cooler. The unit is very clean and gets good light. The lamps by the beds have charging outlets. The kitchen is well-equipped. The new washer/dryer combo is handy. Tasha, the owner, was great—good communication, very nice, and had great local recs. Guests also get yoga lessons included.
Addressing criticisms: the roosters from the neighbor’s house are loud but didn’t bother us much. We were usually gone during the day, and at night we shut all windows and ran the AC units, keeping us cool and drowning out the rooster noise. During the day, we enjoyed a nice cross breeze with open windows. The location is close to Ko Olina and good food spots and within walking distance to an OK beach. However, it takes about 10 minutes to get out of Ewa Beach to commute elsewhere. The neighborhood is dense; parking is tight, and the views aren’t great.
Punchline: Place served all our needs and was a great launchpad for the island. Would we come back? Definitely.
