Top Hotels Near Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve in Honolulu

"My wife and I stayed for a month and our daughter, son in law and our 5 y/o grand daughters stayed for half of the month. The house gave us all plenty of space. The pool was the big hit for the girls-it was a good size and they really enjoyed the slide. The kitchen table gave us a nice view of the canal, the pool and Koko Head. We spent most of our time out on the spacious patio. This is a very quiet and safe neighborhood. Annie was very responsive to our questions. Finally, Eric, the pool man was so nice to the grandkids and gave us good tips on what to do etc."

"The place was great, location was fabulous, bedrooms for everyone and enough bathrooms for all. The family really enjoyed the pool, even though it wasn't heated, it was warm enough for us, probably in the 70's. Once we got in, it was very refreshing. The early morning and evening hot tub was very much appreciated by all. We also appreciated the two kitchens, as we have a couple of vegans in our group and we were each able to prepare meals without interference. Lots of pool toys, and even though some of the boogie boards were broken, we still used them in the ocean. The place is fully equipped for a baby with a playpen, stroller (which we didn't know about, so brought our own and left it there, so 2 of them now), toddler mattresses and a child gate. There is also water wings for toddlers. There are also lots of spices, which was appreciated, although we did bring some. The only complaint that we had, was that we informed the property manager that the upstairs stove had popped and then half of the burners wouldn't work. He suggested a breaker might have blown, but that wasn't the fact. After being told that as well as the downstairs toilet was leaking clean water, he said he would get right on it. Two weeks later, we still were waiting for him to show up. My son attached the dryer vent to the outside, but couldn't find any caulking to re-caulk the toilet. My other son figured that a fuse had blown in the stove. On a brighter note, we thouroughly enjoyed our stay at this home, and would come back any time."

"The house was beautiful, with a pretty garden for outdoor dining, and well located- close to fabulous windward beaches (esp Waimanalo) and Waikiki. Kitchen was well stocked but needs kettle and/or saucepans. Grocery store and restaurants close by. We had a great vacation!"

"We rented Mikhail's home to be close to my brother and his wife during our stay in Honlulu. The house was perfect as we were traveling with my 95 year old mother and wanted a one level home. The kitchen was a great layout and appreciated the aloha basket:). The back outdoor space overlooking the canals was great and we used the Kayaks to paddle throught the neighborhood. The house was clean and suited our needs."

"This is a lovely space. The bed is firm and comfortable, and the bathroom is spacious. The lanai is a great place to have breakfast in the morning or a cup of tea in the late afternoon. Mel anticipates almost every guest need, including having a binder of manuals for the many appliances. There is a lot to see in Hawaii, but you will want to save time just to be in the cottage."

"We had a great stay, and I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a feel of Hawaii life. The owners are fantastic, communicate well and handle concerns quickly. There are three bedrooms upstairs and plenty of room downstairs. Only the master bedroom has A/C but it does cool the room quickly. The other two bedrooms have fans which were fine when we stayed in December. The back sliding doors open to a large grassy shared area which rarely had people on it. This was a great view through the day. The community is basically a private island with one entrance and a tight group of residents. This friendly group made us feel safe and welcome. The pool is literally a two minute walk, and we went almost every day. We had the pool to ourselves 9/10 times we went. We also loved the sunsets in the pool. Hawaii Kai is a great spot to vacation. There are plenty of great restaurants, stores, groceries, and even five minutes from Costco."

"Amazing property, great accommodations, great communication with Mica. We were truly in paradise on the property!"

"The views! The kitchen! The dining and lounging room! The pool! Our team of medical staff used this as base camp while in Oahu for 10 days. Perhaps the most amazing of all the housing we’ve experienced in all our years of business and personal travel. Don’t miss this one!!!!"

"Plenty of space for the entire family."
