Three can sit at the breakfast bar, and a formal dining area seats six for a shared feast. Intricately stained glass windows invite color and light into this area.

Great private duplex in Manoa

The duplex was clean, quiet, and very comfortable. It's an older home with character. We enjoyed our stay. Nice to be out of the noise and traffic of Waikiki.

We would stay here again! We moved our daughter into Manoa and it was super convenient. We could walk to Manoa if we wanted to. It was a charming neighborhood and very quiet. The only issue was parking for our van. The street is a little tight. Otherwise, we had great communication with the manager. This is a historical house, also! (Does have stairs, so be mindful for seniors!)

Perfect stay

The home was neat, cozy, comfortable, and provided everything we needed (mostly in the kitchen and TV-related). It was in a quiet neighborhood convenient to everything we wanted to see and do nearby. The property manager was attentive and thorough. We would definitely stay there again if we are back in town.

Home away from home

Perfect place to stay with family, especially if you have littles. Unit was clean and just as described and communication with property manager was easy, quick, and reliable. Only downside is if the upper unit is also being occupied during your stay-the main bedroom, below the staircase can hear everything.

The house was spotless and very comfortable! We had a problem with the coffee maker, but Amanda immediately handled it with no problems! She was readily available, helpful, and efficient! The only drawback would be the main bedroom, but it did not ruin our stay. The air conditioner helped cool the room, but it is quite loud and right next to the bed. I think it is an unfortunate necessity. The other bedroom delighted my adult daughter. She was quite comfortable and made a little nest. That said, getting to the bed is extremely difficult because it is high off the ground. It may be tricky for older people. The lanai was incredible and we spent most of our time there. We walked into Manoa most days, and really loved being in a neighborhood off the beaten track!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The view was nice, the stairs were alittle steep; and the "night" lightning needs turn on faster and stay on longer.

Excellent Neighborhood With Manoa Falls Close By

We enjoyed staying at the Manoa property especially being in the Manoa Valley neighborhood and visiting the Manoa Marketplace throughout our visit. It's an extremely safe neighborhood. We did the Manoa Falls hike too which was close by and a beautiful hike. Amanda was very helpful throughout our stay. The kitchen sink was not getting hot water for a few of our meals though Amanda reset the water heater and it should have worked after that (we didn't cook a lot after it was turned back on though). If you want to get to know the Manoa Valley or need to be close to UH this would be a good place to try out.

Hawaiian wedding and birthday vacay

Overall, the property was as promised - the basement of a house in a lovely residential area with a lanai that has ample seating (we lived out there!), two bedrooms, 1 bath, small kitchen. My only complaints are that is was a bit quirky and dated (which was somewhat expected from the pictures), but the biggest problem was that the mattress in the main bedroom was so soft and caved in that only the youngest member of our party was comfortable sleeping there, so one of us had to sleep on the couch the entire 10 days.

Beautiful bottom unit of a duplex on a quiet side street in Manoa. Well-equipped kitchen. Nice lanai with a view of diamond head. Newer washer/dryer. Assigned parking in driveway. There were a/c units, but we never needed to use them; fans were enough.

Pros: Great location. Pleasant sitting areas. kitchen has what you need. Parking tight but okay. Property management folks pleasant and professional. Cons: Bedroom is stuffy with poor ventilation. Bed is mushy and clammy, with plastic cover and synthetic poor-fitting sheets. There’s an AC, but it’s loud. The trade breeze blowing through the bedroom would’ve been nice! The step down from bedroom to bath needs a nightlight. No house guide regarding WiFi, trash pickup, TV operation info.

Large space but lots of stairs

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The space is down stairs from the main house. Inside the space are steps up to one bedroom and then there are steps down to living area. Do not recommend for anyone with mobility issues. The living space and one bedroom are large and the back patio is nice.

Hawai’i Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a much needed family vacation and the house was a great home away from home. I loved being in Manoa where it was a nice getaway from the hustle of Waikiki but still close enough to everything we wanted. We had issues with the Internet and the staff was great in trying to resolve the issue. In the end it made it perfect being able to just unplug for the time we were there. We loved easy access to the beaches and H-1 to get us everywhere and I would highly recommend this to anyone that wanted a quiet and convenient getaway!! Mahalo for a great 10 day vacation!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House is in a quiet neighborhood, with friendly and considerate neighbors. This is a lower unit - with stairs for access. Unit has 1 small parking spot, but additional street parking available. Very homey feel, and the porch / lanai a favorite place to hang out. Kitchen has many of the basic necessities for cooking. For ingredients and some basic pantry items - a grocery run is required beyond salt and pepper. Carpet in dining room stained and in need of cleaning. Bathroom newly updated and has a great shower. Plenty of air conditioning units available, or open the doors and windows for great air flow. Grocery store and dining options less than a mile away - easy walk or drive.
