"The beach on the property was awesome. The guys on the ATV's on the beach need to minimize there trips past the chairs with umbrellas, they went back and forth too much. They also need to travel down the sides of the chairs not through the middle divide of the chairs. "

Serene, Restored House from Sugar Days with Sweeping Ocean Views
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (204)
"The property was great. Clean. Functional. Comfy. Based on the pictures we were looking for a place a little more away from neighbors and this isn’t that. Neighbors are right close because the property is long and narrow BUT the way the yard is bordered by trees/other plant life you do get privacy. I feel like a picture of the parking area would make the house easier to find so you would know what you are looking for street side."

9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (20)
"We enjoyed 4 nights in this condo. The condo was clean and neat, with lots of room for our 4 person group. The balcony had a great view of the water. It was a great base from which to explore the Waimea area and the Northwest coast. It was driving, not walking, distance to restaurants and other touristy activities. The Managers were very good and helpful and friendly."

"This home was absolutely idea for our family of 10 (grandparents, parents, and grandchildren). Plenty of room for each family unit to have their own space. The kids (and adults) spent a lot of time in the infinity pool. The home was very well equipped and had everything that we needed to make our stay exceptional. The sunsets from the lanai were amazing! The beach was ideal for boogie boarding and Hapuna beach was a short 5 minute drive as well. Peter was one of the best hosts we have...

"Very clean property with lots of space. The kitchen is equipped with everything you will need and more. Minimal decor, not a lot of Knick Knacks around. Feels like your own space not like you are staying at someone’s home. My Down syndrome son especially liked the small pool and hot tub right outside his room. We were happy to see chairs and toys in the garage for a day at the beach. The property managers were easily available when we needed them. We had a wonderful stay."

"5 stars is not enough! We walked into a clean and beautiful home to the sweet sounds of Hawaiian music. And then we saw the view!!! We watched whales for days from the lanai. We enjoyed finding a variety of dining experiences in Kawaihae. Don’t skip the art gallery located in the lower level of the marketplace. Waimea was perfect for grocery shopping. We went to a farmers market there on Saturday morning and it did not disappoint! Fresh caught fish, yummy bacon, garden fresh fruits and...

"This place was wonderful for our 3-generation family group of 16! Plenty of space for everyone, comfortable beds, well-equipped kitchens, very clean, amazing pool and hot tub, plenty of towels, and SO many extras we didn’t even know about (bikes, scooters, lots of big coolers, TONS of beach gear). Really can’t say enough good things. Our host was super responsive and helpful. When we discovered our blender didn’t work, she had a brand new replacement for us within hours! Oh, and the views were...

"I had read one of the reviews while I was investigating where to stay and they said it’s better than the pictures show…. I agree. It’s an amazing setting with sliding doors that open all the way so you feel like you are sitting outside. The beautiful unit and location are unbeatable. I shopped all the other resorts along the coast. My final decision was based on a couple things. None of the other properties have the white sand beach, a kitchen, laundry or resort amenities that you can use with...

"This was our 15th FLW rental, and it certainly did not disappoint. We enjoyed the remote feel of the location, while we also appreciated that it was within easy driving distance of everything we wanted to do. We also appreciated how well appointed the kitchen was—making it easy for us to cook dinner at “home” every day. We had plenty of space, and enjoyed evenings in the hot tub. We highly recommend this property and hope to be able to return one day."
