Friends and Relative..... ........Humble two bedroom, one bath with a full kitchen. Across the street from the beach known as "Puka Pants," located on the West side of O'ahu. Both bedrooms have their own sliding doors gaining access to a large 3 sided wrap around balcony. Railings are paneled for that added privacy, perfect for sun tanning. During the night you are soothed with the rhythm of the ocean and some traffic. lol ...Enjoy a beverage watching the sunrise/sunset. This romantic getaway is waiting for you...Aloha we C U soon!

Exploring Oahu

We had a great stay! It is in a good location to be away from the business of Honolulu. Sam was a wonderful host and being greeted by Honey was an added bonus. San was great to give us advice about Oahu. There is some road noise that earplugs took care of. Thank you Sam!

Sam was an incredible host … everything about his place was just as described… We only wish we would have spent a little more time at the beach across the street … also we found a good affordable restaurant the day before we left so now I need to go back and visit Sam and his incredible home … Mahalo nui loa Sam!

Sam was great!

We enjoyed the inside of the condo. The balconies were very nicely decorated as well, and Sam was a great host! The biggest drawback was the traffic noise. It never seemed to stop. Bring ear plugs if renting here. After I started using mine, I was able to sleep.

Beautiful

The pictures online do not do this home justice. It’s got a view of the mountain range one one side and the ocean on the other. The reviews on this home were spot on. It is on a loud corner but it didn’t bother us because we were on vacation out exploring. Sam has the sweetest dog. If we go back to Oahu we’ll definitely be staying at Sam’s again.

Very nice property with very nice owner. Only downside is traffic noise.

The apartment was very comfortable and well located for western shore activities. The property owner was very nice and communicated well prior to our arrival. This is not a resort area. Nearby restaurants are small, local establishments. There is traffic noise as you sit on the deck facing the ocean, but otherwise the view is nice.

Large deck that wraps around the property allowing you to get a view of the beach or mountain. Large living room, large rooms, and kitchen. The house was clean and had everything we needed for our 4 night stay. Sam was kind and friendly. He gave us a tour of the property and told us we could text or call him if we had any questions. I will definitely stay here again!

18 years later

We like staying away from touristy areas so following our 1st stay, 18 years ago, we decided to stay on the West side of the island. Sam was an excellent host and provided every need during our stay, items in the house were plentiful. Great communication before and during stay. Street noise is a little much at times, but what do you expect it’s Oahu!

Beautiful place, good location away from busy Honolulu

Excellent property, spacious and clean. Most essentials were provided. Host is super friendly and helpful. Just ask him if you need something. Traffic noise from Main Street maybe an issue for some people. We got used to it. Nice beaches in close driving distance. Beautiful wraparound deck with nice views. We truly enjoyed our 9 days stay.

Gracious Host

Sam is the essence of aloha! He was an extremely helpful and responsive host. The property has ocean views and the unit is very comfortable, spacious and clean. As stated, it is on the major highway, so one does here traffic if out on the lanai. We didn't experience noise problems with traffic when indoors.

Good choice

We enjoyed our stay. The place is a lot bigger than I expected. Must be the wrap around porch. Good size kitchen. Nice views of the ocean. The bedrooms spacious . TV in every room. Sam is a very laid back nice host. I like the west side of Oahu. Hiking Kaena point, picnics Pokai Bay. Snorkeling electric beach. Great people too on the west side. Hoping to return soon.

Wonderful Rental with Gorgeous Views

We spent 5 nights at Sam's place and couldn't have asked for a better place or a more gracious host. The condo was easy to find, even driving in at night. Sam keeps the place very well stocked and everything labeled so you can easily navigate through the apartment. The unit and the grounds were very clean. Sam was quick to answer all questions we had before and during our stay. As mentioned in other reviews, there is some road noise. For the most part it was quiet, with the occasional car with loud exhaust. We will definitely stay here again if back in Oahu!

Waianae? Whyanot?

We enjoyed our weeks stay at Sam's place. Some traffic noise at rush hour morning and evening, rest of the time very peaceful. Didn't spend a lot of time at the place as we were out exploring Oahu. Sat out on the surrounding deck at night with a cold beverage and the sounds of waves. Never made it past 10 pm. Sam has a cooler, beach chairs, snorkels and masks to enjoy a day at the beach. I'm fascinated at the way has fixed his place up. He has great ideas on places to go to enjoy your stay.

Watch the sunset every night!

This was a very comfortable place. It had everything we needed and extras. Extra sunburn cream, extra soap and shampoo, extra condiments. Sam was available so much for questions and just to have a conversation. The property felt safe and it's right across the street from the beach. We sat out on the lanai on evenings we got home early and watched the sunset. Ko Olina is 10 minutes away, even in heavy traffic. We managed to find parking every time we went. Found some other beaches further up the road that were also pretty nice with easy parking. Thanks Sam for everything.

18th Birthday Vacation

Sam was a wonderful host! The house is about 40 minutes from downtown Honolulu. Right across from the beach with mountain and ocean views. We walked across the street every morning have coffee on the beach. This is a very local feeling neighborhood. There’s a Longs Drugs and Sac-n-Save close by. That being said you will hear the neighborhood dogs and chickens. The Farmington highway is right in front of the house and it can be noisy on the deck. There is air conditioning and all the comforts of home at Sams. Also a boogie board, snorkeling gear, towels and sunscreen. We had a wonderful time and felt right at home. Sam is a local to his core and knows all there is to know about where to go and what to see. We would absolutely stay again!

So relaxing!

Reviews aren’t lying about the street noise. The property is at the corner of a very busy intersection. Tune it out. What a nice place! Beds are comfy. Kitchen is far better stocked than your typical rental (spices, tools, appliances, etc.). Full-sized side-by-side fridge/freezer. Great Internet. Great cable options. Super clean. Lanai is amazing, with tables, chairs, loungers and recliners. Lots of gear for outings, such as an ice chest, beach chairs, snorkel gear. Sam (the owner) lives downstairs, and very helpful.I’d give a thousand stars.

Uncle Sam and Honey Girl fed my soul!!

The rental unit is stunning, incredibly clean, spacious, and everything we could have hoped or asked for! Pulling into the driveway, we were met by Sam and Honey Girl (his furry companion) with such warmth, and happiness that it was more like coming home than visiting a friend! The home was spotless, comfortable, the linens looked brand new, and we never once felt like we "needed" something that wasn't supplied. The lanai is absolutely amazing! Sam has poured his artistic soul into creating a magical experience that really can't be described, you just have to see it. The tikis, the ocean themed artwork that has been lovingly painted and hung on the inside of the lanai, and the beautiful plants are all highlighted by solar powered color changing lights at night that seriously add to the magic that this place is! All appliances are new, clean, in perfect working order, and for those of us who are serious about our coffee needs, there is actually a coffee grinder and the most amazing French press. For beach days, Sam has beach towels, a couple of chairs, an umbrella, some snorkel gear, a couple of beach mats, and a huge cooler, literally everything you need. The graciousness of Uncle Sam honestly touched my heart! You can just feel the sincerity when talking with him, he loves his life, he loves his home, and it shows in every manicured detail that he proudly shares. The only thing we didn't like was leaving... but we'll be back, and I can't wait!!!

The real Hawaii in a great home

First I will say you should read all of Sam’s reviews for this property so you can get a good feeling of what this property is all about and where it is located. Sam the host is a wonderful caring man. We enjoyed his knowledge, warm welcome, and of course his lovely dog “honey girl” . The property is amazing that Sam has tried very hard to make it a great place to stay . The property is in where locals live and with that comes local sounds, traffic, and anything else that comes with living like the locals do. This is not some beach front property with quiet beach noise. However it is a great clean home with 2 separate bedrooms , air conditioning , single bathroom , full kitchen with everything you need, ceiling fans in each room, tv’s in each room A beautiful wrap around deck that is decorated with lights and atmosphere when the sun goes down! It is amazing. Yes it is next to a busy intersection so during traffic times it gets a little loud … We were out doing things from morning until evening so it did not bother us any . Because you are in with the locals … there are local sounds such as dogs. Everyone here has a dog and sometimes there may be times that dogs are barking at 630 in the morning…. The owners of the dogs try to get them quiet but again if you think this is some tranquil quiet property you probably should not stay here. We personally love the west side of Oahu, we believe it to be the real Hawaii thank you Sam for everything!

Better than all expectations, it was perfect for us! Book Confidently!

This is going to be a long review. If you want the takeaway it is that this spot worked perfect for us. I like staying on the West Side. It was close to my family and to our favorite place KoOlina where you can see sea turtles! Book confidently. Samuel was the best property manager you could ask for. He was very helpful and friendly. The 2nd floor is very private and comfortable. The wrap around deck is spectacular. My only regret is that we weren’t around enough to make use of it! Inside was immaculate when we arrived. Way beyond expectations. Lots and lots of counter space. Large fridge with water dispenser. The price of a case of water is very expensive here so this saved us a lot of money right off the bat. This place is stocked up on all the items you need really. Very thoughtful, sun burn cream to sugar, and board games. This is my 5th trip to Oahu. My family lives here. We set up our trip with the first 3 days in Waikiki. 6 days here. And 3 more days in Waikiki. Perfect balance. If you’ve never been to the west coast it’s different. It’s raw and real. There is less glitz and glamor. There are insanely beautiful mountains behind and to the side of the property. There is the ocean in front of the property. We saw whales from the deck twice while drinking our morning coffee. The location is perfect. We have a rental car and an extremely busy 12 day schedule so this place was a blessing to come back to. A home base. The other reviews weren’t very helpful. I’ve stayed in the west side before. Like I said it is the real Hawai’i and with that comes some crime, but Waikiki has crime too. That being said I was very pleased that there is excellent security here. Let me assure you that nobody will be breaking in here. Samuel has the perfect security system. There is a 2nd tv where you can see your car and the EXTERIOR of the property. Nobody is going to sneak up on you for sure. That’s what I think people got wrong in the reviews. It’s just a really good security system. Basically a zombie hoard couldn’t get in because there are security doors. Security is solid and we appreciated that. The safe was important to me. That was a huge help because we had a lot of cash that we didn’t want carrying around. The bedrooms are super comfy and both had wall tv’s. And an iPhone charger! The carpets are very clean and comfortable. Happy we stayed here. Mahalo
