About this property
Located Across From Seaside Pool And 8 Houses To Beach + 2 Adult Bikes!
Leave your worries at home. In fact this home's name means "no worries" and our guests will have none while vacationing here! Upon your first step onto the expansive front porch, you will be tempted to stop and rock and relax in the inviting rocking chairs. In fact, every room in the home opens onto the front porch or the second floor balcony. Just a visual reminder that it’s time to relax. You’re on vacation. When you step inside you first see the spacious family-size living room. There you find a large, flat screen television, a library wall filled with books and games, as well as a table for 4 that can be used for dining or for your favorite family game.
Just around the corner, beyond the centrally located staircase (with an open view into the kitchen) you will find yourself in the large kitchen and dining area, with seating for 6. The kitchen offers granite countertops and a large cooking island with cooktop and oven. There is also a half bath on the first floor.
All 3 bedrooms are located on the second floor. The Queen Primary Suite is bright and cheerfully decorated with many reminders that you are at the beach. Off the primary you’ll find a private bath with combination tub/shower. The 2nd primary is also a queen. It overlooks the Westside Pool which is just across the street. The 3rd Bedroom is a kid-friendly suite that’s colorfully decorated and offers plenty of room for the children to sleep and play when they’re not at the beach or the pool. There’s sleeping room for 3 here with twin over full bunkbed with a trundle.
If you need more room you can also rent Karibu (VRBO #280985), the guest cottage that adds a bedroom and living area and sleeps up to 4. Rent these together and you’ll have a wonderful teen suite or grandparents suite that makes this property a perfect vacation home for your family.
For additional room, check out the guest cottage, Karibu VRBO# 2971947

We booked our trip for the last week of the summer for our family before school started back. We were so happy we found Hakuna! Lovely home. Amazing location next to the pool and a block away from the beach. Biked everywhere and enjoyed all Seaside had to offer. Highly recommend.

Reviewer Comments:
First time renting through Homeowners Collection, but 6th visit. Easy to reach management with questions. Kitchen and downstairs living area were great! We loved the porch with rocking chairs. Location is super convenient to everything. Were a few small things that needed repairing. The second queen is so soft that you roll off the edges so it made it hard for two people to sleep in the bed. Upstairs thermostat was set to 80 degrees. We lowered it, but it eset to 80 degrees during the night so that was uncomfortable the first night. Code for pool didn't work.
