  Kawehi A from Kailua, HI recommends this vacation rental

  We had the happiest holiday experience at Hale Mokulua. Our family consisted of 4 generations, including 2 senior citizens, 4 adults and 2 toddlers. No matter what age, we ALL enjoyed our stay. We are a local family who stayed here while we renovated our own home nearby. What a wonderful staycation it was for us!
  
  Booking online was quick and easy and communication with the Private Homes Hawaii representatives was very quick and professional. The property description was accurate, looked and felt exactly like the photos. A few of our favorite spots on the property were the porch/lanai of the main house, the pool area with grass, lots of seating in and around the pool with BBQ amenities and the luxurious spa tub in the primary room of the main house. We enjoyed the quiet of the neighborhood and the access to the beach and playground. The kids also LOVED all the pool and beach toys...The house really allowed us to enjoy the holidays. We brought in a huge Christmas tree which was accommodated by the high ceilings and hung stockings on the staircase. The furniture, appliances, etc were all high end and the home was well stocked with everything you need (kitchen amenities, towels and beach towels, detergent, toilet paper, rubbish bags, etc.) It was also great that the trash was collected twice a week. (Normally it's once for most residents in Kailua.)
  
  The challenges were the traffic due to construction (and sometimes a heavy influx of tourists going to the Pillbox Trail and Beach.) The jacuzzi didn't heat up during our stay, the tvs were a little hard to navigate and sometimes there was a lot of workers coming in and out of the property (pool, yard, etc) but the pros definitely outweighed the cons. We were grateful for the housekeeping staff who came twice to clean while we were there.
  
  I have already recommended Hale Mokulua to our friends and family. Making memories is important to our family and you really helped us achieve that this Christm

  • Manager Responded on 2/3/2025

    Thank you very much for your review. Glad to host a local staycation - we don't often get to do that, and hope your own renovation went according to plan. We understand the construction to Lanikai (roundabout) is concluding (finally) in May so hope that frees up the traffic situation. Very sorry to hear about the jacuzzi not heating - the property manager is aware and having it repaired. We appreciate you taking good care of the property and gald we could be a part of your family memories this Christmas. Finally, thank you for your referrals!

  a guest from New York, NY recommends this vacation rental

  This is a lovely home with great amenities and layout for entertaining family and friends. My three girls (10, 8 and 6) enjoyed swimming in the pool as well as snorkeling in the ocean from the beach access point, which was 5 minutes from the house. We also enjoyed biking riding in the Lanikai neighborhood as well as to Kailua Beach. Definitely the perfect break from NYC and we left tanned and relaxed.

  Robin M recommends this vacation rental

  The house is a very nice beach home, with up to date furnishings and appliances, clean and well maintained inside and out. The home accommodated our group of 10 adults and 4 teens perfectly. The main living open floor plan was large enough for everyone to gather and join in on conversations. The two cottages were a plus so that no one felt smothered. House keepers tidied the home twice during our stay, along with supplying fresh linens and towels. The back yard pool and spa were refreshing and entertaining. Restaurants and shopping are a short drive away and the Pillbox Hike is a must even for the inexperienced hiker. The home is NOT fully air conditioned - Be aware only the bedrooms are. A portable fan was needed to help keep the kitchen area cool especially while cooking meals. The nearest beach access, “Lanikai Beach”, that you can walk the shoreline or sit a chair to soak up the sun is a 9 - 10 minute walk from the home. The listing shows a beach access very close to the house, but it is more of a kayak launching area. Though it is an awesome area to watch the sunrise. Overall, we had an awesome time and would stay again.

  Mark W from Bountiful, UT recommends this vacation rental

  We've stayed at several properties on Oahu, and Hale Mokulua is the best. Lots of space, modern appliances, and great location. Ocean access across the street, 0.5 miles to Lanikai Beach, 1 mile to Kailua Beach. The pool and spa is outstanding. The Property Manager (Steven) and Reservation Agent (Kim) are very responsive and helpful. Everyone had a great time and enjoyed our stay at Hale Mokulua very much.

  • Manager Responded on 5/25/2023

    Thank you for your review - great to hear you enjoyed Hale Mokulua and pleased to hear the comments about our agents too - will be sure to pass on! I see that you have rented several other homes of ours in the past, so thank you as well, for the return business. We hope to have you back again soon.

  Marilyn A from Elmhurst, IL recommends this vacation rental

  Hale Mokulua was the perfect house for my family to get together with their relatives on the Island. Young and old loved walking to the beach or hiking the Pillboxes that were nearby. Some members even used the bus which ran by the house to get to Kailua Town which offers so many wonderful restaurants, shops and one family member even went on a chocolate tour there. Thank you Vicky and Steve for answering all my questions. Mahalo Nui Loa!

  a guest from Dacula, GA recommends this vacation rental

  The property is perfect for a large group and is in (IMO) the nicest part of Oahu. The website description and pictures are accurate. The small beach across the street is great for a kayak and paddle board and a swim. If you want to have a true "long walking beach" or boogie boarding, the best access is 1/2 mile very easy walk. We were 3 generations and 4 families. Our numbers varied from 11 - 14. The property easily accommodates a big group and provides enough room and privacy for all. There are many provided amenities in the kitchen and bathrooms, as well as outdoors for the pool and beach. The property is very well maintained. The only suggestion I might make has to do with the cleaning robot which must stay in the pool 100% of the time. The vacuum tube takes a lot of space and makes lap swimming almost impossible. That being said, it made ZERO difference to the kids who were the primary users of the pool. I would definitely stay here again with a large group.

  • Manager Responded on 7/30/2022

    Thank you Susan. We appreciate your review and understand about the pool vacuum. Will share with the owner and the pool vendor to see if there is a better solution. But, glad it did not deter your kids! Hope to have you with us again.

  a guest from Durham, NC recommends this vacation rental

  First, we were impressed with all the details provided by Private Homes Hawaii and how responsive the estate manager was. We were also impressed with how incredibly well equipped the property and house were from beach towels, boogie boards, beach toys and other equipment to everything and needed in the kitchen( and more) and then how much we were permitted to use: tiki torches, pool spa, grill.
  There is only one way in and out of Lanikai and this made the location relatively safe yet convenient to Kailua ( a little construction traffic 8-4in Kailua).
  The beach at Lanikai is one of the few sugar sand ones on the island. It was beautiful and family friendly at all times of the day and had some decent snorkeling a bit out on the coral reefs.
  We are missing the sunrise walks on the beach followed by coffee on Hale Mokulua's beautiful lanai.

  John B from Ville Émard, QC recommends this vacation rental

  Our vacation was exactly as it read “on the tin”!
  
  We were delighted that the normal wide angle lense photos were not used in this case to distort the reality. The villa was as large as depicted, if not larger. We were all delighted with the size, quality and location of the property.
  
  One small negative was the main house only had 3 double bedrooms which meant one couple needed to stay in the larger pool house. They found it to be a little noisy situated next to the pool pump.
  
  That said, we (all 8 of us) really enjoyed our stay and a comment made by all related to the volume and quality of kitchen utensils, crockery, glasses and equipment, first class. All linens and towels were quality and in good supply. Often owners cut corners in this regard but not here.
  
  The property management company were excellent and Mitchell, the representative, took a very keen interest and even offered to purchase some basic provisions for us on our first day of arrival. A great gesture well appreciated.
  
  We would absolutely recommend the accommodation to anyone wishing for a luxury retreat in Oahu.

  • Manager Responded on 3/21/2019

    Thank you kindly for your thorough review. Will be sure to pass on the accolades to Mitchell and the owners! And we will consider ways to mitigate the noise from the pool pump on the cottage guests. We appreciate your business and leaving the home in excellent condition. Hope to have you and your colleagues back again soon.

  Aina E from Memphis, TN recommends this vacation rental

  We rented this house for our large family (total 15 persons!) and had a great stay. The house fits well a large family and is also perfect with the two guest apartments in the garden. The pool is large and perfect for both swimming and playing. Modern kitchen and great outside areas. We managed to park four cars in the driveway.
  
  A coffee cup on the veranda in the morning followed by a walk to Lanikai beach is a perfect way to start the day.
  
  We are also very satisfied with the customer service!

  a guest from Houston, TX recommends this vacation rental

  Steven took excellent care of us with both of our stays. We were particularly impressed with the reminders to take out the trash and how quickly he addressed any issues with the homes. Since we are planning to buy a home in Lanikai it was great to see Steven’s high level of care of the owners’ homes.
  
  This rental would be great for a group of people. It’s just one block from the beach and the pool and hot tub are brand new. The beach chairs and umbrellas provided were extremely helpful. The home is very clean and well kept. The decor is fresh and new. We enjoyed grilling by the pool with the lovely tiki torches lit in the evening. What aloha spirit!
  
  A big thank you to Steven and the property owners and management!

  Property was awesome hands down. We had a large multi-family group of 9 adults, 1 toddler and 1 infant. The house was PERFECT for this. We had tons of space. The backyard is a dream if you just want to relax and hang out with family. We BBQed almost every night and sat out in the back. Beach is an easy walk down the road. Easy drive to Kailua.
  
  The house is exactly as the pictures show. Everything was clean new without being overly fancy / breakable with small kids. 0 complaints and an awesome trip.
