We didnt even get to stay here because the owners are back and fourth on policy's Booked in for Dec 2020 during covid. My family contracted Covid days away from trip. We were definitely well within the Covid guidelines of a return policy, but they wouldn't give one so we agreed to just using the credit at a later. After that they more than able to cancel it and tried to reschedule us for the spring . Their availability went away every time. Every few months we would attempt to make a booking, but they were always full. (interesting right ?) Next thing you know two years plus go by. Now she says she's unable to give us any compensation or credit because we're past the two years. It's not our fault they did not have availability. Don't book your stay here. The owners have every intention to get money out of you and lack any type of customer service. Worst customer service and just the worst selfish people.

Alot of public access beaches- around 5-10 mins of walking. Basically everything you need to stay on a home for several days! Just check out the pictures we took. Their all breath taking!

Of all weekends to have an extended family beach getaway, we chose Mother's Day weekend. What a…read morewet and rainy three days! Despite Mother Nature's blessings, our family had an uneventful, yet relaxing time telling stories, playing cards, backgammon, and eating like there's no tomorrow; serious grazing. There's something to be said for having nothing to do. The rain slowed things down and forced us to just be, instead of doing so much. Exactly what a vacation should be. Now only if we could get the kids on board with that. This is the second time our family has rented this property. The main house has three bedrooms and two bathrooms, one tub and one shower. The living room area is nice sized, however the kitchen is a bit small but totally workable. The dinning room table doubles as a poker table. Full size washer and dryer available and with its own access via the outside deck. Totally separate is a two-story dwelling that houses two apartments that each sleeps four with its own bathroom/shower facilities and kitchenettes. The beach is typically beautiful with Goat Island in the distance. Lovely swimming holes immediatley out front, however this all looked stormy and fierce during our most recent stay. Nice place to surf and paddle board when the conditions are right. The deck and landscaping are charming additions making you feel at home, allowing you to sink in like you own the place.

We were picked up from the airport in an employee's personal van with car seats, groceries, and his toddler in the vehicle! We were dropped off at the Polynesian Cultural Center to wait out the van being ready. Throughout the course of the day, the windows wouldn't roll down, the brake pedals locked up, wires were exposed, the car would not go into drive, and we had to meet a maintenance man at his residence in the dark to get it fixed. It was an overall unsafe van. To top it off, we got horrifically bitten by BED BUGS!! The company did right by us issuing a refund. While other travelers may have a better experience with a different employee and vehicle, I can't confidently recommend renting Roxanne from this unprofessional company.

I wish I had seen these reviews on Yelp before I booked, but at least I got a refund before…read moreactually having to stay in the property they were trying to rent us. Classic bait-and-switch SCAM. They canceled our original VRBO Oahu rentals twice, offering a different property each time via email for houses that were listed on VRBO. They sent an email with a link to book through Rental Advisor instead of VRBO, which would have been protected by VRBO's Book with Confidence Guarantee. Because this whole process seemed fishy and Rental Advisor was not forthcoming about renter protections I decided to go deep enough into the booking process to see their Renter Agreement, in which I found the property address. I searched the property on Google Maps and found the house in a rundown neighborhood nowhere near ocean beaches (like the rental "bait"). Needless to say I canceled the original rentals (twice, because they actually listed TWO great-looking rentals on Oahu as "bait.") I feel for the folks who actually ended up in some of their properties and had ruined vacations. I'm a pretty savvy traveler and even I almost fell for their scams. STAY AWAY! The photos: The one in the daylight was the "bait," the one taken at night is the "switch" (pretty nice, huh?) and the street is where the house is located.

Email about theft in the area' so we were afraid to open the windows and leave. The beds were HORRIBLE! Cheapest beds they could find. When we contacted them for a refund they said no.

After my review was posted on VRBO- they had it taken down. Said I threatened to leave a bad review if I was not compensated for having to spend two of the hottest nights in a hotel!

Here's why: - nice pool with hot tub and free cabanas (seriously, free) - super close access (across the street) to a private beach. The hotel offers rentals of chairs, boogie boards, etc. - proximity to food at the Polynesian Cultural Center marketplace (no admission required) and McDonalds. Nice to not have to drive - nightly music in the lobby - lots of tables and seating in the lobby to hang out The room was standard. Loved the water bottle filler in the lobby so I didn't have to feel like a loser going to the gym just for water. Review is 5 stars for a Courtyard, not a 5 star hotel. Don't think we should have to pay $23 for parking in their own lot.
