Enjoyable Stay

Great location for beach, off the beaten path for other activities. Access is unique and more unusual after hours, requiring dealing with a gate and gate lock! However, house is comfortable and secluded. Guests wake to nature sounds, birds and chickens (roosters) each morning.

The Treadwell House was perfect for our family group of 5 adults and four teenagers.Leilana was an amazing host who responded immediately and helpfully to our questions and requests. The location, a short distance off the highway, to the secluded house, across the front lawn through a gate that led onto a perfect, beautiful beach, with clear sparkling water conducive to snorkling, could not have been better. West facing, the house delighted us with spectacular sunsets every evening.The kitchen and living room provided ample spaces for conversation or quiet reading, as we chose. The spacious deck which opened out from the kitchen/living room was large and perfect for gathering at all times of the day and night.Nearby stores were easy to reach and a midweek trip inland to the Waimea Farmers Market introduced us to fresh locally grown food and to the friendly local farmers.Yes, there were geckos in the house but we soon got used to them. If you're looking for ostentation, luxury and crowds this is not for you - if you're looking for a thoughtfully designed, inviting, comfortable, charming well-equipped family home on the beach, consider the Treadwell House. A unique experience in every way.

Paradise

Coming from New York City, it took me a minute to adjust to the indoor/outdoor living, but this was a perfect place for our family to gather for winter break, including grandparents and kids. Hearing the sounds of nature and the ocean at night was magical, and being able to walk down to the beach during the day was great. Leilani was a great host, responded quickly to our many questions which made it easy for us to settle in. The natural beauty surrounding the property is stunning, and we loved the easy access to Beach 69 and Hapuna Beach. We loved our stay at the Treadwell House!

Great location!!

Very unique setup! It felt a bit like a camp as we had 3 separate buildings and then one building had a kitchen/living area, but bathroom doors were outside of main living area. We were slightly shocked to find several geckos living in the kitchen when we got there at night! This is a VERY open air rental with NO AC, so I must have missed that info when booking. There was a scorpion in the bathroom and I did contact the owner about having someone come to spray for that and she did. After renting several VRBOs this is the slowest responses I have received, even though this was a holiday season, a little surprised at that when I was concerned about geckos and a scorpion!It was clean, just older and not quite what we expected for the high price we paid. The location is nice, but several people took over the beach on the property so it isn’t your own beach while renting and you will need to put chairs out to save a spot.I would recommend the owner update the instruction book for detailed checkout instructions as they were missing and I had to ask.This is a nice place to have a family vacation, just a little too open air for those with allergies and bug fears. It felt a little weird not being able to lock things up well as it’s so open and you really can’t use the bathroom at night without going outside to walk to one at night if your room doesn’t have one attached.Cool concept for the right families who aren’t bothered by those things.Had Some nice touches like games/cards!

Fabulous family trip

We stayed with my 3 sons and their families. This house is in an amazing location. You see the ocean from the house but are set back far enough that you don’t see the beach goers nor do they see you. The main living area is open spacious and comfortable. The bedrooms are basic and comfortable as are the bathrooms. If you need marble countertops and high end fixtures this is not the place for you. The house has everything needed for a comfortable stay. Snorkeling was wonderful, sunsets were wonderful. The beach is beautiful. We had a wonderful stay.

Dreamy Spot right on the Beach

We had a great time here. The house is very practical for beach living. We loved how much shade was available to us, both on the beach and on the house lanai. We will definitely be back. Lelani was a pleasure to work with and check in and out was a breeze. Thanks!!

Relax and Restore

This was my second time being blessed to stay at this amazing property. I can't say enough good things about the property and the management. The location can't be beat. The house is like camp for architects -- it is low key and focused on the outdoors, yet the beautiful architectural details make it feel luxe. Thank you Leilani for being available before and during our trip to make sure we had everything we needed to unplug. We hope to visit again soon!

Steps to beach

Location can’t be beat- sandy, shaded beach steps away. Best snorkeling of our trip right outside our door. Saw manta rays one morning while kayaking! Indoor-outdoor living, feels like camping but with amenities. Tons of birds, lizards, nature. Very close to resorts for a dose of that if you want. Otherwise, secluded and natural.

Idyllic beach home

We feel so fortunate that we were able to stay with our family in this lovely home. It is perfect for a large family - plenty of bedrooms, baths and a wonderful large table for meals. The property is large so there is plenty of personal space as well as communal. Just a few steps to the beach but shielded by vegetation for privacy. We enjoyed every minute. We enjoyed some of the local restauarants - A Bays and Manta in Waikoloa, Hawaiian Style Cafe in Waimea, fish tacos at Hapuna Beach, the amazing malasada truck just near our property - but we also enjoyed eating at the house - fresh poke from food land - fresh fish - grilled steaks and kalbi ribs. Everything we needed was there for us to use - appliances, a grill, beach chairs, beach towels , a place to hang our wet swim suits, washer and dryer along with detergent. Like home - but better! Thank you for wonderful hospitality and loads of memories.

Great location, awesome beach!

The house was wonderfully well stocked, conveniently located, with plenty of room for our extended family. The property managers are attentive and helpful. The yard and the beach access are amazing! We swam, snorkeled, cooked up a storm, and generally had a perfect vacation!

The Perfect Vacation Home

Treadwell House worked perfectly for our family of 10 plus a baby! The house accommodated all our needs with a well-supplied kitchen, beach gear, ample towels and thoughtful touches like a warm outdoor shower. The beautiful beach is literally steps away and was great for swimming and snorkeling.

Glamping on the Beach

Glamor camping - glamping! We rented 4 bedrooms which came with 3 full baths. This was exactly what we were looking for! Perfectly set right on the beach but very private. No need to pack for your day at the beach - you re there! Nothing more lovely than morning coffee with your toes in the sand. We loved grilling dinner on the beach. Loved the coziness the trees on the beach created with nooks to hang out in. Snorkeled with turtles from out front. Had some great waves on a few days for boogie boarding. Two walls of the great room /kitchen open up and you feel like you are outdoors. We ate most of our meals on the covered front porch. Perfect temperatures day and night. The beds were super comfortable with plenty of pillows and fans in each room. We stayed for 8 days and didn't even use all the bath or beach towels provided. We love to cook - actually packed my own knives but didn't need to - there was not a pot, pan, bowl or knife we lacked. We have rented many vacation houses and it was so lovely to have soap, laundry soap, dishwasher soap, paper towels, sunscreen, bug spray and many spices, etc already there. The rental company, 2papayas was wonderful. We had a couple of questions while we were there and even on a Sunday morning we were answered immediately! We are already planning our next trip and may even bring more folks along to use the 5th bedroom suite. Loved the architecture and the beautifully thought out design. Thank you Treadwell owners and 2Papayas.

Treadwell is Beach House Heaven

My husband and 6 our our friends stayed at Treadwell for our wedding week. Having so much space, the outdoor concept, being steps from the beach, and the awesome amenities made our stay as good as it gets. We wanted for nothing during our stay at the Treadwell. All the bedding, towels, kitchen tools were fantastic and the house is set up to handle large groups really well. We never felt cramped. The first group in our party didn't arrive until the wee hours of the night and the property managers were so accommodating and understanding. We loved waking up to the sounds of birds, having coffee on the beach in the morning, and coming back from exploring to hit the beach. Staying at Treadwell allows you to double or triple your beach time! The sunsets are spectacular as is the snorkeling. I can't say it enough. Stay at the Treadwell! You will love it!

Great Beach House next to Fabulous Beach!

Wonderful place to get away from it all and relax with family and friends in a lovely, comfortable, private, open-to-the-breezes house just steps away from a glorious golden-white-sand beach offering generous shady areas as well as sun, small waves, gentle slope and interesting coral reef snorkeling. The house is a great comfy beach house, with a well-stocked kitchen open to the living room and lanai overlooking the keawe trees and ocean, with convenient outdoor hot water shower for those sandy after-beach moments. We filled the place, and the studio in the trees was especially delightful! It was the absolute best place for our family gathering, and the wonderful women at 2 Papaya were great, making sure all went well with much aloha. We have rented with them before, we will again, they are the best!!!
