Pleasant sitting areas. kitchen has what you need. Parking tight but okay. Property management folks pleasant and professional. Cons: Bedroom is stuffy with poor ventilation. Bed is mushy and clammy, with plastic cover and synthetic poor-fitting sheets. There’s an AC, but it’s loud. The trade breeze blowing through the bedroom would’ve been nice! The step down from bedroom to bath needs a nightlight. No house guide regarding WiFi, trash pickup, TV operation info. ##### David Z. Stayed 14 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Karen A. May 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Hawaiian wedding and birthday vacay Overall, the property was as promised - the basement of a house in a lovely residential area with a lanai that has ample seating (we lived out there!), two bedrooms, 1 bath, small kitchen. My only complaints are that is was a bit quirky and dated (which was somewhat expected from the pictures), but the biggest problem was that the mattress in the main bedroom was so soft and caved in that only the youngest member of our party was comfortable sleeping there, so one of us had to sleep on the couch the entire 10 days. ##### Karen A.

It's an extremely safe neighborhood. We did the Manoa Falls hike too which was close by and a beautiful hike. Amanda was very helpful throughout our stay. The kitchen sink was not getting hot water for a few of our meals though Amanda reset the water heater and it should have worked after that (we didn't cook a lot after it was turned back on though). If you want to get to know the Manoa Valley or need to be close to UH this would be a good place to try out. ##### June P. Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Madhu D.

Reviewer Comments: This was a much needed family vacation and the house was a great home away from home. I loved being in Manoa where it was a nice getaway from the hustle of Waikiki but still close enough to everything we wanted. We had issues with the Internet and the staff was great in trying to resolve the issue. In the end it made it perfect being able to just unplug for the time we were there. We loved easy access to the beaches and H-1 to get us everywhere and I would highly recommend this to anyone that wanted a quiet and convenient getaway!! Mahalo for a great 10 day vacation! ##### Michelle G. Stayed 9 nights in Jul 2018 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Gretchen G.

I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House is in a quiet neighborhood, with friendly and considerate neighbors. This is a lower unit - with stairs for access. Unit has 1 small parking spot, but additional street parking available. Very homey feel, and the porch / lanai a favorite place to hang out. Kitchen has many of the basic necessities for cooking. For ingredients and some basic pantry items - a grocery run is required beyond salt and pepper. Carpet in dining room stained and in need of cleaning. Bathroom newly updated and has a great shower. Plenty of air conditioning units available, or open the doors and windows for great air flow. Grocery store and dining options less than a mile away - easy walk or drive. ##### Gretchen G. Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Bryan F. Mar 12, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice clean unit We were in the lower (“B”) unit, which looked to be a basement apartment. It was clean with a good sized lanai. As a lower level unit, much of what could have been a great fives of Diamond Head was blocked by trees. A possible issue might be all of the stairs. You walk down 10-12 stairs to reach the entrance and in the unit you go up three stairs to reach the main bedroom, walk down one stairs to access the living/dining room and climb up two concrete ledges to access the bed in the second bedroom. This could be an issue if you have mobility issues or have young children. The kitchen is clearly an add on and while functional does not have a dishwasher. Unlike other VRBO units we stayed in, there was no soap or welcome amenity basket (starter coffee, etc.) so be prepared to go grocery shopping as soon as you arrive. Parking can be tight as the street is very narrow. If you rent a car, I would stick with a sedan or smaller SUV. Vans or larger SUVs probably won’t fit. The management company is first rate and Amanda was great. Manoa is a nice area to stay, with many delicious restaurants in the area and close proximity to most attractions. If I could rent the upper unit, I would definitely stay at this residence again and would consider staying at properties managed by Amanda and he office. ##### Bryan F.

Jul 30, 2024 #### Great Location but has needs 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: We loved the location and it was quite comfortable. However, it has some needs: many steps and no handrail to grip going down to entrance; step to lanai is same color as decking and an easy trip hazard; no instructions on how to operate TVs; many VRBO units have more kitchen/cooking supplies that this unit; lighting in closet was not working properlyl and most doors did not close well - e.g. it was difficult on the entry door to punch in the code correctly. While this unit has considerable general maintenance needs, it is still a good property for anyone who is comfortable with many steps - some not so obvious. Perhaps the upstairs unit is a better choice. ##### Karen H.

Jun 17, 2024 #### A gorgeous view in a great 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: We were so delighted by our stay here. The location was excellent, we loved being able to walk to a great coffee shop and grocery store. I went on morning runs to the Makiki valley trails, it was beautiful. When we were driving up to the house, we were trying to capture a picture of the rainbow that was resting on top of Manoa Valley. We couldn't get an unobstructed pic, but were happy to have it welcoming us. When we arrived at the home and went out to the lanai, we could see the entirety of the rainbow spread out over the valley.The home was very clean and comfortable and we would absolutely stay here again. ##### Christopher B.

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: The view was even better than I expected! Great convenient location in Manoa only 10-15 minutes from Waikiki and our family in Aina Haina. We really enjoyed the outside space and having laundry and a parking space were key! There were beach chairs, towels, and toys available for our use which was a nice touch. Our daughters (ages 13 and 11) loved the setup in the second bedroom with its secret door and curtains. It probably wouldn't work well for little kids or two couples though. Tall people will have to watch out for the low clearance in the master bedroom and closet. The property manager was very responsive to questions. Would definitely stay again! ##### Kerri W.
