We have stayed here twice. This property overall is amazing from the welcoming hosts to the wonderful room and the beautiful Lanai to the resort style backyard, and of course the proximity to the water!
We also went kayaking and were able to see the giant sea turtles and flying fish.Truly paradise!Thanks again to our hosts!

Review Submitted: March 20, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
Our Island getaway would not have been the same had we missed out on staying at the wonderful retreat of The Essence of Hawaii. Tim and Lora’s place is absolutely remarkable and the best part of this is that they open their house up to total strangers so that we can all get a small glimpse of real Hawaiian style living.

The suites are tastefully decorated without the feeling that you are actually attached to the main house. The backyard gives you the feel of a small luxury resort, without the crowds; it’s all yours to enjoy, day and night.

The best part of our stay was our hosts, Tim and Lora. They were so inviting in every way imaginable, they are two genuine people who really want to give you the best experience while on your journey. There were many free flowing conversations under the stars, oh yes and much free flowing wine as well. It was great to happen across another couple who hold the same ideologies and views on many different plains. I could go on and on about the house, location, beach, town, etc, etc, but what put the icing on the cake were our hosts.

We will most definitely be back!

Reality is so much better than pictures! The
Essence of Hawaii property is beautiful and our
room was comfortable, well decorated, and better
than any hotel room could offer. I would highly
recommend staying at the Essence of Hawaii. Lora
and Tim were wonderful hosts who gave
us great advice on places to see and things to do on
Oahu. Thank you for a wonderful vacation!

This was the perfect place to decompress following a trip to Thailand. We weren't disappointed! We enjoyed many evenings by the fire listening to the breeze in the palm trees. Mornings on the lanai were spent enjoying the beautifully landscaped yard, watching paddlers in the canal and visiting with our hosts, who were warm, welcoming and helpful in every way. Thanks, Tim & Lora, for sharing the beauty of your home so graciously!!

Review Submitted: November 21, 2008 Date of Stay: November 2008
We spent a most enjoyable 11 days in early November in Oahu, all at the lovely residence of Lora and Tim Thomas. Our son was able to join us for a week of the stay, a little tight in the studio, but not at all a problem. We found everything we needed for a great vacation, including all beach necessities for the beautiful Island beaches. The thing that set this trip apart was the very gracious hospitality of the owners, and their welcome tips and directions. And we did need those! Thanks Lora! :-)
Highly recommended.
