Excellent place! Loved it and will be back!

Thank you to Victoria and caretakers Martha & Keld. We loved staying at this house! We had 8 stay comfortably (myself, husband, mother, 3 older kids and another couple) and didn't need to use the pull out sofa bed to fit us. The property was exactly what we expected from the description and photos (although the living room arrangement is slightly different than pictured - things change). The location was fabulous! The house had everything we possibly needed, even a cooler for taking with us on day trips. The beach was perfect for playing in the sand and snorkeling (brought our own gear), which is what we wanted. We got up each morning and watched the sunrise, ate breakfast and snorkeled all before 8am. The breakwater kept us from being pounded by the surf and made for interesting things to see. Unfortunately, we were away from the house when the turtles came into the bay and the Monk seal came onto the beach to sun itself. Being across from the PCC was very convenient, and we were only about a 30-40 min drive (depending on rush hour) from either side of the island that we wanted to visit. You couldn't pay me enough to stay in Waikiki in the crowded beaches, etc.
Victoria was quick to answer any questions I had, often calling me rather than emailing me back which was a nice personal touch. Martha and Keld were great caretakers (and kept to themselves unlike other comments) and made themselves available for whatever we needed.
One note regarding the property - there are two other rental units attached to the house which we didn't really realize. The neighbors we had were great, and we had no problems with them (and I think Victoria is very particular about who she rents to, so that helps!). There are also two houses that are at front of the property which look as though they are part of Victoria's place, but they aren't. They have students living in them, but we hardly noticed them there at all.
We have shown our friends the pictures of the property and highly recommend staying here. We will definitely be looking to book here again next year. Mahalo!

We loved staying here, the property was beautiful and directly across from PCC, description and photos are correct. It was wonderful to have 'your own house' and be away from all the traffic and hussle you see elsewhere. The property was under construction at the time, which was made known to us prior to booking. Completely understandable, but what we didn't expect was the care taker to just walk in unexpectedly. A couple of times the construction crew needed ice for their coolers, and she just entered without knocking. The first time we thought it was kind of odd, the second time we were getting annoyed. The property was clean and well maintained however I don't think the car taker liked really little kids, the owner did, just not the care taker Martha. She seemed to always have 'an eye' on them, telling them what they shouldn't be doing. Not something you want on vacation where you're there to relax. We had a 5, 7 and 9 year old, all boys who love to be boys. I don't think she appreciated them very much. Had the property not been under construction I don't think she would have been around as much as she was the week we were there. My suggestion to future guests would be to take complete inventory when you arrive. Make sure all the boogie boards are there, and if any are broken when you arrive (like one was in our case). Make sure all the TV remotes work, count cups, towels and do a complete inventory otherwise you'll be charged for unnecessary charges after you leave.

Owner's Response: Delighted to hear you had a great time. It was a wonderful to meet you and your family. Yes, your little boys reminded me of when my son was little, not so long ago I might add. My sincere apologies for any inconvenience about the care takers. Normally we are very respectfull of your privacy. The local care taker is always concerned about your safety, accomodations, and needs. Sorry that this happened. We would like for you to return again. As you can see from other reviews, Martha is normally very helpful. We do inventory after each guest and double check items. A lot of times we have broken boogie boards that are not disclosed, ie. children are afraid to get in trouble by telling their parents. The boogie boards are one of the first items we have always checked. Photographs are taken of any broken items, such as screens or boggie boards. Luckly, we don't have this doesn't happen often. We appreciate our guests and want your stay to be as comfortable as possible. Thank you for staying during our construction phase of new kitchens and bathrooms. Thanks for being our guests. Victoria

Great place for small children
Submitted: December 12, 2010

We loved staying in the Yellow House! It was perfect for our two small girls ages 4 and 2. They loved the beach and playing in the sand and water. When the tide goes out there are literally no waves on the beach because it's protected bt the "reef." It's not a coral reef,it's more rocky, but it does trap the water and a few small fish close to shore. The water is nice and shallow and my 2 yr. old could safely walk with us out to the reef. Favorite things from our visit:The sunrises were beautiful! The PCC is literally across the street which saved us the $8 parking fee (don't worry there's no noise b/c the house is set far back off the street and next to the ocean), Waimea Valley was a beautiful walk with the family, and within 20 minutes there are fresh fruit stands and shrimp farms(Yum!). This house has a great location on the beautiful side of the island. We definately recommend this home! The house was also very clean and Martha was very kind and helpful. Great family vacation spot.

Owner's Response: Thank you. Yes, the beach is great....and the "reef" does make it into a bathtub....hence the name of bathtub beach! It is great for kids, young and old. Thank you for the comments on Martha. She is a very kind person and most helpful. It's nice to have someone that has been a local for 26 years! Glad you had a wonderful family vacation.

We had a wonderful time in the Laie beach rental. Gorgeous beachfront view. We stayed in the 3 bedroom unit, due to the 2 bedroom unit being remodeled at the time. We stayed in 2 rooms with 1 bathroom. The unit is well maintained and very clean.
Martha, the property manager was very nice and gave us great info. The house was very nice.
We would definately recommend to friends and family. Laie is a great place to stay on the island.
Thank you for a wonderful time Victoria.

We had a marvelous time in this beach house. It was heavenly listening to the ocean and feeling its gentle breeze as we fell asleep each night. It was great to walk down the stairs and swim on a very private beach! We walked across the street to the Polynesian Cultural Center twice where there is so much to enjoy. The manager that lives close by was wonderfully helpful. We will definitely stay here again and can recommend this place.

This was a great place to stay! My family of 5 plus our nanny stayed here for 2 weeks. The house was great! There was plenty of room for everyone. My husband and I enjoyed the privacy and being seperated from the kids (the living room and kitchen seperate the two sides of the house where the bedrooms are located. It was great having beach access. The kids and sitter could go to the beach anytime without having to pack everything up and go anywhere. They loved snorkeling and the reef is full of life. They loved going out in the early morning and watching the crabs come back to their homes. We went to the Polynesian Culture Center and were able to walk there and back! It is a good location as the north shore activities are about all within 20 - 30 minutes and the "town" side of the island (honolulu etc) is about 1 hour (with traffic and slower speed limits) The Dole Plantation is about 30 minutes away. We loved going to see things and then coming home to our quiet little paradise! The neighborhood is quiet and we felt very safe. (We had 3 children under 8 that we left with a sitter regularly) We cannot say enough good about the property managers.
They were wonderful! They were kind and had lots of great advice and suggestions. They made our stay so enjoyable and comfortable! The community is very friendly. I highly recommend this property to anyone coming with a family who wants to enjoy Hawaii but not be in the middle of the overcrowded, tourist stuff all the time. One suggestion though! Groceries are expensive! We shopped at the Costco and at Tamuras Market in Haaula. If you choose this property I hope your experience will be as wonderful as ours!

The home was great for our family. It was so clean and inviting. The ocean was right out front. The managers, Martha and Keld, were always available and made our stay so easy. We had 5 children and 2 adults, there was plenty of room. Laie is such a great town. I have shared my vacation photos with family and friends. I would certainly recommend this house to anyone wishing to visit the area. We loved the seating out front to the ocean and the large grass play area for the children. Thanks for a great stay. We will return. Paige and family, Utah

Great View
Submitted: March 26, 2010
Stayed: October 2009
We stayed at this property in October 2009, and while the view is exquisite and the little beach charming, the house itself is not quite as shown in the listing. It is clean, however the furnishings and fixtures need upgrading. Many facuets, window/sliding door frames, and hinges are rusted out and the furniture is very well used. It is also not as spacious as it seems, so our family of five was about as many people as you would want in the house. Also, there are other houses attached to this one, which we were not made aware of, and are not mentioned in the listing. If you can get past that, it's right near the fabulous beach at Waimea, where we spent most of our days. It's also right across the street from the Polynesian Culture Centre (which can get a little noisy in the evenings when cars are coming and going). You would need to rent a car (which we did) to get around, or else take public transit in order to get around as it is a very quiet part of the island.
Owner's Response: Sorry you felt this was. The furniture was all new in 2005 as I purchased it. I will begin replacing the items. I had no idea as there haven't been any former complaints. The house has 3 separate bedrooms so I don't understand your reference to the number of people. In fact the master bedroom has a separate sitting room and I have upgraded the bath room to include a full bath in the master. Thanks for your comments and we will be upgrading the furniture. We are one of the lowest priced 3 bedroom beach front properties and do hope to have you return. We pride ourselves on how clean the property is!! With the upgrades, we will be posting new photos.
