What a wonderful vacation home! We were there 11 days and did not want to leave. The home and beautiful grounds exceeded our expectations...

This wonderful home is exactly as advertised. 3 couples had their own very private and comfortable bedrooms. It was great relaxing in the pool after a busy day of activity. Marilee is very easy to deal with, and anyone renting her beautiful home will not be disappointed! Mahalo for a great 2 week vacation!

A True Tropical Paradise!

brierdiane Brier, Washington
Review Submitted: March 23, 2008 Date of Stay: February 2008
This house was PERFECT for the 8 of us!

We enjoyed:

The cool breezes and the songs of the lovely birds in the trees around the lanai.

The kitchen, living, and dining rooms which are especially roomy and excellent for group dinners. Just open any of the many sliding glass doors to utilize the tropical breezes throughout the space.

The location which is quiet and private, yet close enough to walk to the beach for snorkeling. A quick drive to town, made shopping a breeze!

The privacy of the backyard is absolutely gorgeous. It features huge birds-of- paradise, palms, hibiscus, trumpet flowers, and more! The pool is perfect for floating and swimming when you want to cool off during the day or even at night. The pool lighting is lovely at night. There is even a bathroom and shower which is very handy for the pool users.

The comfort of the beds and the cooling ceiling fans.

The well stocked linen and towel closets. They even provided beach towels. We used the washer and dryer, too.

The only criticism we have is that the online photos did not do the place justice. It's BETTER than the photos show.

TuTu's beach house

Bird Lower Hutt, New Zealand
Review Submitted: January 8, 2008 Date of Stay: December 2007
The dishwasher didn't work and wasn't repaired.
The pool cleaner only worked intermittently, but pool too cold anyway.
The furniture in the living areas was minimal.
There was very little breeze through the house.
There is no view unless you leaned out of a corner of the lanai. Shouldn't advertise that there is one.
The access to the first level was outside and down stairs. We didn't know this. Night lighting around the pool was not good.

We had other family staying at other places and felt by comparison that this house was overpriced for what we got.

Appreciated the good supply of hot water and snorkel gear.

Good location being off the main road so quieter than some.

House was clean and well stocked with towels and linen, pots and pans although you had to hunt around for pots and pans.
Owner's Response: It is unfortunate that the dishwasher did not work. We could not get anyone to fix it during the Christmas holidays.
The web site clearly states that there is no indoor staircase so there are two private apartments.
This is the first negative review in 7 years. Oh well I guess you can't please everyone.

We were blessed to rent this wonderful home for 2 weeks this summer. It was a very comfortable and relaxing spot for our family. The location is perfect in that you can walk to the beach in about 5 minutes.

The backyard space is awesome with the lovely pool and complete feeling of privacy.

I hope that we can go back again in the future to enjoy this incredible spot.

Mahalo for sharing this with us!

What a wonderful home you have. The pool and backyard were a wonderful bonus. Our 5 year old practically lived in the pool the entire vacation! The upstairs lanai was perfect for our dinner barbeques!

We had our family of five and the grandparents stay and the house and it couldn't have worked out better. This was everyone's first trip to the Island and it couldn't have been better.

Mahalo!

Thank you for use of your home. It is clearly that -- a home. We felt like cherished friends visiting. It is large, lovely, close to everything, yet we felt like we were entirely alone. One of the best vacations that we have ever had. Thanks again.

This was our first trip to the Big Island! We loved it and the home was PERFECT! The home had everything we needed and the location was GREAT! Our teenage son loved the downstairs to himself. The lanai and pool were great places to share family time! This home was better than any resort!
