Vacation rental house. Sleeps 5, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms. No pets allowed.
Kaneohe, HI 96744
United States
Experience this oceanfront home that is true Aloha. A charming two bedroom, two bathroom bungalow located in Kaneohe with extraordinary views. The home itself is comfortable, well stocked and private. The first home on the beach facing Chinaman's Hat with
neighbors to one side only. The occupancy is up to 5 guests, please note that the 2nd bathroom is outside access, located on the deck a few steps from the front door of the house.
Sit on the shaded lanai and begin every day watching the sun rise over turquoise water while balmy trade winds breeze by; relax in the evening as the sun sets majestically over the stunning Kualoa mountain range. Snorkel directly from the front yard, or
simply cross the street to take advantage of everything Kualoa Ranch has to offer, including hikes and horseback riding.
This exquisitely beautiful part of the island is often featured in television and movies, including "Lost", "Hawaii 5-0" and "Jurassic Park". The Hale's location makes day trips into Waikiki, Pearl Harbor and all other visitor sites an easy drive away. Like
many beachfront homes in Oahu, the house is located off the main coastal road. Most guests seem to stop noticing the traffic sounds after they have settled in, this is helped further if a/c and fans are turned on. However, if you are sensitive to noise this
rental is not the best option for you. Please call our office directly with questions.
Bedrooms :
One: 1 King
Two: Bunk Bed
Other: Sofa Bed. Pack n plays, cribs and kids beds can be rented and delivered.
** May accept 2 - 3 nights bookings last minute, or for gaps between longer bookings. Please call for more info **

The view from this house was breathtaking! It was so awesome to wake up to such beauty every morning! You can enter the water directly from the property, although there isn't a beach, and it's quite rocky, so water shoes are highly recommended. However,
every morning I was able to walk barefoot up against the side of the property and then follow the beaches just a few yards away and could walk pretty far! It was so beautiful!!! And the water is quite shallow by the house which is perfect if you have smaller
children and are worried about an undertow.

We had an incredible time. We had a stressful airport experience with lost luggage, so arriving to this gem of a house and location was so great. The view is even better than the pictures. The house has been updated since the pictures, with new floors,
couches, and tv. The neighbor was very friendly and the property manager checked in to see how everything was. We really enjoyed our home away from home, and the reservation process was super smooth. We would definitely stay here again!
Glad you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to have you pop up on our reservations again.

The view was unbeatable. Very close to the road, but the location was perfect. Kualoa Ranch is right across the street and offered a fantastic view as well as many tours that explored the property. The best part was that we could walk down the stairs and
put our feet in the water at all times.
I am ecstatic to hear that you enjoyed the home as well as the surroundings. We hope you return soon :)

The positives:
* The house was clean and modern-ish
* Nice sized kitchen with lots of counter space
* Outside bathroom was very handy
* The outside picnic table and deck were nice
* Extra water equipment, towels, water shoes, snorkels etc was an unexpected bonus
The Negatives:
> The house is located right on a main Hwy
> The drive way is literally the length of the car, again right on the highway. When loading the back of the SUV vehicles are zipping by just feet from you. Very dangerous for kids.
> With the house being SO close to the HWY, the traffic noise was relentless until midnight and started up again around 5am...I know this because it kept me awake the whole time. This traffic noise also made opening up the widows impossible... unless you want
the traffic volume to go up even further. The air conditioning unit was as loud as the traffic however, at least a constant noise. Nothing can ruin an otherwise perfect vacation faster then not being able to sleep.
> The beach was covered in trash; that which the tide brought in and that which visitors left behind every day
The highway is a two lane country road with a speed limit of 35 mph. There is a chain you can put up at the end of the driveway, and the parking space itself is about two car lengths long, though much wider than it is long. We clearly mention the road noise in our description as follows: "Like many beachfront homes in Oahu, the house is located off the main coastal road. Most guests seem to stop noticing the traffic sounds after they have settled in, this is helped further if a/c and fans are turned on. However, if you are sensitive to noise this rental is not the best option for you. Please call our office directly with questions at 1.800.442.6901."

Our stay at Kualoa Hale was very relaxing, exactly what we were looking for. The location is fabulous if you prefer a slower pace than the city.
a guest from Kemble, ONTARIO does not recommend this vacation rental.
We stayed at Kualoa Hale January 2017 for a few days and found the home to be well equipped. There was an inoperable washer and dryer but after several emails and calls a new washer and dryer was installed in 2 days of reporting the problem.
All is well that ends well. As per other reviews the road noise from traffic is not a big problem when sleeping. The air conditioning works great in the bedrooms but there is none in the rest of the house. Ceiling fans make the rest and of the house comfortable.
There were several families staying at the park in tents about 100 feet from the house fishing all weekend which was of interest but we were a bit surprised when they all stayed Sunday night partying and in tents right beside the house.
This is a beautiful location but you will need the drive to a swimming beach. The neighbour has a large dog that he leaves outside to bark and whine. It may be his way for of deterring renters
Overall we had an acceptable stay but we would likely go elsewhere in the future.
We thank these guests for taking the time to review. As noted, the washing machine suddenly stopped working on a Thursday and we had a brand new washing machine installed and ready to go by Friday. Purchasing and installing major appliances on our little island can be very time consuming, as options are limited. As always, we are very grateful to our extraordinary maintenance crew for making this happen so quickly!
The home has neighbors to one side only, on the other side is beautiful Kualoa Park. If you are reading this stop what your doing, and take a moment to do a google search for Kualoa to look photos. This is one of the most breathtaking areas of the island, and even more spectacular in person! Though the review makes it seem otherwise, even these guests liked the location enough to extend their stay. No camping is permitted anywhere near our home, had the guests given us a call about being disturbed we would have handled the situation. Kualoa park is a peaceful, family friendly area. The last time I personally spent a day at the park I was able to watch a halau - that means hulu group - practicing next to the ocean. Only in Hawaii!

Matthias P from Chicago, Illinois recommends this vacation rental
The location was stunning, the home in good condition, the kitchen well equipped. If there is anything to bear in mind is that it is close to the street and the bedrooms are in the back of the building facing the street, so you will have street noise.
Frankly didnt bother us, kids were jumping in waves all day and collapsed as did I. The rest was simply perfect, not much I can add to that.

Perfect oceanfront vacation rental with all the comforts of home! Fully stocked, comfortable and clean home in a quiet neighborhood. There's no way I can fully describe how spectacular the view is! Gorgeous sunsets while having dinner on the porch overlooking
the ocean....just wow! Management was always available for questions and would check in to make sure we didn't need anything. Neighbors were also very kind and respectful. This homes location is a perfect balance between a real beach getaway and Hawaiian experience
with the ranch right across the street offering tours, horseback riding, zip line and more! My little family had the best vactation to date in this home! Thank you!

We were a bit apprehensive not knowing what our accomodations would be. However we were delighted! We really enjoyed every moment from the clean accomodations, to the fins to snorkle. On the beach sunsets and swimming first and last things everyday. We
were happy we did not stay at one o the resorts, the local folks were fun, friendly and helpful. We went to small local resturants and the Polynesian Luau. We spent time visiting the Arizona Memorial, the Punchbowl and even climed Diamond head. Looking forward
to our next visit! Highly reccomend!!!!

Had a great time at the Kualoa Hale! Nice, clean, spacious, cool.
Outside bathroom as really convenient. Inside washer/dryer and extra towels are awesome. Eat in kitchen is convenient and couches make relaxing in the open living area easy. Orientation of the house is good. Blocks most of the wind and rain from the picnic
table, but enough to keep the area cool.
Only drawback was no big sandy beach for the kids. There's some sand, but kind of rocky. Snorkeling and fishing was good. The kids still had a blast! We stayed there all week and never left.

Right on the ocean next to a nice beach park. Loved getting up and sitting outside with a cup of coffee.
If you are bothered by road noise, go elsewhere. You are by the only road to get around the north shore. We were fine.
Go to the Kaneohe Farmers Market in Windward Mall and get your local fruits and vegetables.
We had 2 college age daughters with us and they liked it better than Waikiki.
Get shave ice at the little bistro down the road. Try the local food at the Waiahole Poi Factory. The squid lu'au and beef lu'au were tasty.
Use the washer and dryer. Carry less luggage.

a guest from St Paris, Oh does not recommend this vacation rental.
The home overall was set up well for our stay. I am however disappointed in the home description. We were well prepared for the street noise and that did not bother us at all however the noise from the people on the beach right out the front door did.
There were loud people and loud music right there almost every day. The "private beach" out the back door was not private at all! Every day and every night there were people swimming fishing clamming and walking by so it is not private at all! The home next
door had a large dog that barked each time we went out and they must have let it help itself to our back yard to relieve itself which needless to say was very rude and inconsiderate!! I would consider renting with Hawaii Beach Homes again but definately NOT
this home at all!
I am sorry to hear you did not enjoy the location of the home. All beaches in Hawaii are public so even if the home is beachfront, anyone is welcome to use the beach in front of it. The home is located in a small fishing town with locals who fish there everyday. We will talk to the neighbor about keeping his dog on his own property though.

This beach house was perfect for our family of 4! With a great view of Chinaman's hat, across the street from Kualoa Ranch and next door to the Kualoa Regional Park you can't beat the location. You definitely need a rental car, and need to back in to the
driveway as the highway is very busy. We rented kayaks for the week and paddled to 'Secret Beach' and Chinaman's Hat. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need including a crockpot, blender and rice maker. We hardly noticed the highway noise while we
slept as we kept the fans on, but it's hard to ignore the dog barking next door all day. Overall a superb property at a great price!

Very quaint little house right on the beach. We knew going in that it was off a major highway, while it was a bit noisy, it did not bother us at all. The house was very clean. However, like most homes, it did come with its fair share of critters. The house
is located next to a park, which is nice because it is a very easy walk, however, the corner right next to the house is a popular fishing area, so don't be surprised if you have a few people right next to the house fishing. All in all the house was great and
exactly what was advertised. I would recommend it for a family.

a guest from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan recommends this vacation rental
This home is located right at the Chinaman's Hat Island. The views from the deck are spectacular and we were up early every morning to watch the sunrise. We rented kayaks for the week and were able to get over to the island pretty easily. We also snorkelled
in front of the house. Beach shoes are a must as it is very rocky right out front. The water is very shallow even at high tide.
Because of the location of the house, we drove a LOT. The highway speed limits are 35-45 MPH in most places so it takes a long time to get anywhere and traffic can really back up at times.
If you are looking for the lap of luxury, this is not the house for you. The house is a little bit older. It had everything we needed however as far as cooking utensils etc. The beds are a little dated. We had our two adult children with us and the bunk beds
were not an option so one of them used the hide-a-bed which was not great for sleeping.
We spent most of the time on the deck except for when we cooked a few meals. We never got tired of the view and we really didn't feel like leaving.
If I could make one suggestion, it would be for them to have a few bananas or a pineapple for guests when they check in. We got in very late and having even a couple pieces of fruit or a welcome basket with a few snacks would have been a nice touch. All in
all, we have no complaints. The people at Hawaii Beach Homes were very good to deal with and we would definitely rent from them again.

Laura H from Wixom, MI recommends this vacation rental
My husband have stayed for a week in the Kualoa rental and absolutely loved it. This was our 4th time to the island and by far our most favorite trip. The views from 360 degrees was amazing. You are on a very nice and quiet beach that you can spend hours
exploring. We loved waking up to the covered patio to drink our coffee. The patio was perfect when you would get a quick shower or the sun was too hot. The location is great due to you are away from the crowds and congestion of people and traffic. When ever
we needed to go to the store, we chose to travel up the coast to the north instead of going back into town to the south. We really wanted to be away from the people. Both travel times where the same and we loved it. We really felt like we were on a more private
and relaxed vacation this time then in the past. It is definitely a more tropical feel and side of the island. We were so glad we stayed in this awesome rental. We also chose to have family visit us and I cooked everyone dinner a couple nights. It was great
for cooking breakfast as well. LOVED IT! The rental house is fully stocked with everything you need to use or borrow. Fully stocked kitchen, beach towels, hair dryer, q-tips, blenders, grill, griddle, Tupperware, ect.... I feel like other renters left stuff
for the next person to use and that was great! We also loved the outside bathroom which we renamed the guys bathroom. Really cute inside and out! You do hear the traffic from the bedroom when sleeping, but I still slept good. It really was not that big of
a deal. Just bring ear plugs if you think it will bother you. We would recommend this rental to everyone. If we ever come to Oahu again we will stay here again.

Crystal R from Langley, BC recommends this vacation rental
It is easy to say the views are awe inspiring!!!! The house quickly became our home away from home. It was clean, well laid out and very comfortable. My adult children said "it's SPIFFY" We found the traffic noise easily drowned out by the three working
A/C units; which worked overtime due to the high humidity during our stay. Other than a few missing things, ie a sieve, a longer pair of tongs {for the BBQ}, dry briquettes a clean electric fan and a working garlic press, we found everything we needed. Our
use of the beautiful covered deck seen in the pictures was limited because we were unable to sit in the shade it provided, and enjoy the magnificent scenery, due to the height of the hedges. As to the functioning of the homes' items; One of the A/C units was
full of black mold, and another had the "check filter" indicator light on our whole stay. The main bathrooms'bathtub would not drain and the drain plug was broken. But the second bathroom was a beautiful and fully functioning. We all felt very secure especially
with the access code system used to enter the home. All we had to do was memorize the code, instead of running a risk of losing the key. There was even a safe! Hey everyone. Stay here!!!! Other than the minor points above our stay was perfect.
We are happy to hear you enjoyed your time at the home :) We appreciate your comments and the issues have been addressed. We hope to have you back in the future.

Stanley h from north bend, or recommends this vacation rental
Upon arrival, the first thing we noticed was the overall lack of thorough cleaning. Someone had apparently broken one of the bedside table lamps. We picked up several large chunks of glass bulb which were in the carpet. While doing this, we noticed the
huge dust bunnies under the bed. This indicated to us that the facility had not received a thorough cleaning in a long time. We went to a local store to get a can of Lysol to clean the toilet and tub in the main bathroom. The shower curtain was so moldy that
we used the outside bathroom for the remainder of our stay. The window frames are rusting away and the wood trim is being bug eaten to the point that we did not want to touch them. The furnishings have a thrift store feel, but are comfortable. The management
sent us an email, asking about our stay. I responded, giving them the same info as above, asking that they might replace the second bedroom lamp, as we had taken a small one from the kids bedroom and it was barely adequate. We received no response. Because
we left an hour early, we were required to let them know. When we called their number, we got an answering service. Based on the lack of responses, I would not give very high marks for service.
Now the view. Wow. The unit is perfectly sited on the ocean. The views of Kaneohe Bay and Chinamans Hat are incredible. The covered patio allows you to sit and enjoy it all, rain or shine. We watched a group of sea turtles just off the deck. The small beach
allows you to wade and even swim privately. It was a wonderful time outside. The outside bathroom is a nice feature and is in much better shape than the main bathroom.
The view and overall siting of the property are the reasons that I would still recommend this property. The management needs to take a strong look at maintenance and cleaning before the unit becomes unrentable.
We thank Stanley for taking time to post a review. We want our guests to experience a seamless check in, and are sorry that his first impression was a negative one. To ensure that our guests have everything they need we make an effort to reach them via email and/or text following check in. I have looked through all our emails, phone calls, and the message center in the app we provide, and have found no response from this group after check in. Possibly they meant to contact us but didn't finish an email, or maybe Stanley thought his wife had done so and vice versa. In any case, we are sorry to have missed the chance to correct the cleaning issue, and are very sorry that it was not done completed. Since the review has been left we purchased a new shower curtain, and also a replacement lamp. Once delivered to the house we found that no lamps had been broken, as reported in the review, so are not sure what happened there. We employ an answering service to take calls outside of office hours, and did receive the message that the guests were checking out. The messaging service would have contacted us immediately had it been an urgent call, but as they were simply reporting that they were checking out we did not receive the message until office hours, when the guests were already on the plane.
We are happy that the guests did enjoy the neighborhood! Kualoa Hale is in a special location, surrounded by the sacred Ko'olau mountain range, Kualoa ranch, and with views of Chinaman's hat. No, the furniture is not trendy, but as the guest points out, it is very comfortable and the views from the sofa can't be beat. If you are interested in staying at our house we encourage you to read our other reviews to get an accurate idea of our customer service, and to hear about the positive experiences so many families have had with us through the years.

Our experience was amazing. The house was in great shape and very comfortable, with accessories for beach activities and access to the long beach of the neighboring park it was ideal for relaxing. Watching the sunrise over the bay and the full moon at
night reflecting off the water cannot be topped anywhere. A great place to kayak and even fish from shore or kayak. Watching the locals fishing with their nets was interesting and everyone was friendly and even the weekend parties in the park were subdued
enough to not intrude on the serenity of our visit.

Aloha! We initially spent 3 nights in Waikiki and moving into this rental home for the remainder of our time on Oahu was a much needed and pleasant change! Sitting in the recliners looking out at the waves rolling in while playing the Sounds of Hawaii
CD (one of many CD's on property) set the tone for a very relaxing time! It was a perfect view!
The kitchen was well stocked and had every pan/gadget/implement we needed.
Be sure to check out the Kualoa Ranch across the street. Nature lovers, movie and WWII history buffs will thoroughly enjoy it!
A major storm rolled through while we were there and Hawaii Beach Homes was very responsive and had repairs made before we returned from out day outing.
Other reviews had mentioned road noise but it was not an issue for us with the air conditioner on at night and would not deter from this incredible setting and home!
I would highly recommend this place and Hawaii Beach Homes! Mahalo!

The views from this house are spectacular, specially since there is a park on one side. With the windows open there is plenty of pleasant breeze in the house. We didn't need the air conditioners. It is clean and well maintained. It is also accessible for
a person with a disability because there is a ramp from the car port to the porch and, therefore, the front door, as well as a walk-in shower. The house itself is all one level. The only steps that are not accessible are in the back of the house down to the
lawn, but the porch is so nice, there is no need to go down there. The only drawback is that the second bedroom is small. But that was not a real problem. The noise from the highway that others mentioned in their reviews did not keep us awake. It was a wonderful

Overall my family and I were very satisfied with the quality of this rental home. It had an amazing view which we thoroughly enjoyed every day of our stay. The property is on a highway so you have to be careful when exiting in your car and the beach is
slightly rocky so it helps to wear water shoes. Otherwise, the property is flawless for any family vacation.

James E from Gadsden, AL recommends this vacation rental
From the minute we arrived until the minute we departed our stay at Kualoa Hale was awesome! Every day brought a new and wonderful experience. Each day started with coffee on the deck looking out at "Chinaman's Hat"...and if I looked over my shoulder (directly
across the street), I was looking at Jurassic Park...really! That's where it was filmed! The home was clean and had everything we needed (except for an ironing board...I texted Hawaii Beach Homes and within a couple of hours we had one!) One very helpful entity
was the Hawaii Beach Homes app. It was full of specific information about the rental and also listed activities from the surrounding area. Last year we stayed in Waikiki which in itself was a grand experience. But this setting was so relaxing... and just what
we had always envisioned that Hawaii would be like. Kudos for the home owners and staff of Hawaii Beach Homes for making our stay in "Paradise" a trip of a lifetime!!

We rented Kualoa Hale for 8 days. It was the perfect spot for our family. It's well equipped kitchen, laundry, and other supplies made the stay more enjoyable. We loved the location, although being right on the main hwy. added some traffic noise but ear
plugs for the light sleepers is helpful. While the bay is right there, you need beach/water shoes as there are lots of rocks/coral. Very shallow water great for younger kids and there are regular beaches nearby as well a supermarket and only 10 min from Kaneohe
town. We loved that it was away from the hustle bustle of town.

The pictures don't do this home justice. All our expectations were exceeded. The home was clean and the view were beautiful. My family and I loved waking up to the sound of the ocean every morning. Some days we didn't even leave the house. Just relaxed
on the beach, kayaked to chinaman's hat, snorkeled and fished right in back of the house. The closest super market is a 10-15 drive up the Kam hwy. Very convenient. Property managers were very helpful. We can't wait to come back again next year.

mary b from Azle, TX does not recommend this vacation rental.
The property location was amazing. Not a great spot for swimming due to the amount of rocks behind the house and at the park next door. We went a few miles north and found excellent swimming locations. The home is nothing to write home about, but is adequate
for most needs. The reason I would not recommend this home is beacuse of the air conditioning units. The a/c unit in one bedroom is all that worked properly. The a/c in the master bedroom only dispensed warm air, the unit in the kitchen/ living area was not
adequate either. I read reviews of this property before booking. Several of the reviews mentioned the a/c not working or being adequate. I assumend it would be reparired or replaced before our visit. As I found out, assumptitons are not always valid. I did
contact the management group and they said a maintenance person would come out later in the day. That person did come the next day, but stated the unit would need replaced and the owner would have to be contacted. Unfortunately, we had to check out 2 days
after that and it had not yet been replaced. We checked out and went to stay in a local resort for the last 4 days of our stay. I definitely prefer staying in a house rather than a resort. We rented throught Hawaii Beach Homes and they were courteous and professional.
I would highly recommend their company.
Thank you for the review, we are sorry for the delay on replacing the a/c. It is now installed, so bedroom one has a brand new unit and bedroom two has a unit that is about 6 months old and working perfectly.

Roger B from Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta recommends this vacation rental
This was our first time to Hawaii and our first time renting a home. We will definitely do it again through Hawaii Beach Homes. Jessica with HBH was incredibly helpful and did everything possible to make sure our stay was a pleasant one. When we got there
we asked for and immediately rec'd a new bbq, as the one there was a little old. She was very friendly and helpful and made us feel so welcome.
The view of Chinaman's Hat is spectacular and the oceanfront deck and lawn are perfect for relaxing with your morning kona coffee or evening drinks or family bbqs. The house itself is spacious and comfortable for a family of four. A 5th person can sleep on
the foldout couch as one of our kids did but it makes it a little cramped. All the appliances are in great shape and kitchen has lot of storage and counter space, with plenty of pots, pans, baking trays, utinsels, and general kitchen wares. The 2 bathrooms
were nice, especially the one outside accessed from the deck, since the kids used it for showers the most. The air conditioning in the house drowns out the road noise for the most part, and you'll get used to what you do hear pretty quick anyway. I'm am the
king of light sleepers and I had no issues.
Is it luxury-ville perfect? Of course not, but we did not pay for that. You you definetly get your moneys worth out of this rental property, and you can't beat the price. This rental made our Hawaii vacation affordable. We will definitely be using HBH again
for future rentals.
Aloha Roger,
Thank you so much! Roger we truly strive to make our homes top notch. In this case a BBQ can make a world of difference.

Having visited Hawaii several times, we were looking for a location away from the tourists. And we found it! The minute we stepped inside the house, we felt so at home. It was clean, well kept and had everything we would ever need for our ten day stay.
We enjoyed kayaking right from the property, entertaining local family members on the deck and watching the sunrise each morning. The air conditioner covered the traffic noise and we slept very well. The location provided fantastic views of Mokoli'i Island
and is a short and scenic drive to Kaneohe and North Shore. We also took trips to Honolulu with little hassle. Overall, our experience was more than we had hoped it would be. We would definitely return.

House was plenty big and roomy. We did not have any issues and everything worked great. It was so nice being on the ocean and just walk out the door and breathe the fresh air. Had road noise at night but just turned the ac fan on to sleep like a baby.
Only thing I would change is cut down bushes at end of deck so when setting on desk you can see unobstructed. Nice snorkeling water was calm. Drive to Waikiki, north or south all 30-40mins so not bad. For the money we could not ask for more. We will stay again.

a guest from Garden Grove, Ca recommends this vacation rental
Our family loved staying at this home. It is mucher greener on this side of the island and also a lot less populated. We enjoyed being away from the crowds while still being close enough for anything we needed. The property has beach toys and boogie boards
for the kids to use. The kitchen is fully furnished including a crock pot, blender and rice cooker. We also spent a lot of time cooking on the barbecue outside while the kids played on the beach 10 feet away. The views are incredible here and during the week
you have the beach almost entirely to yourselves. Most of the people we saw during the week were tourists stopping to take pictures of the view. We rented kayaks for a week from Hawaii Beach Time who delivered them to the home and we paddled out to Chinaman's
hat several times. Snorkeling and fishing are also popular here. The closest supermaket is about 15 minutes away, but I would recommend stocking up at Costco for most of your items. We wound up saving a lot of money doing this. Also, there are actually three
room air conditioners at this home. One in each bedroom and one near the kitchen/dining area. Most of the time there was a great breeze, but the air conditioning really helped out on the hottest days. There is also a dvd player in the living room that the
kids used for movies in the evening. Overall we had a wonderful time at this home and would love to come back again someday. If you are looking for a clean and comfortable home in one of the most beautiful locations on oahu, you will be hard pressed to find
a nicer one than this at this price.

This was our first trip to Hawaii & it was absolutely wonderful. The house was the perfect location & size for our party of 5. Sitting right on the beach & the central location gave us the opportunity to explore the island. I cannot tell you how much my
family & I enjoyed staying at your rental. The scenery was beautiful & the house had everything we needed to call it home during our stay. It was wonderful to be able to take a quick trip to Honolulu or up the North Shore & return to cook a relaxing dinner.
The private deck made a perfect dining room for our meals & to view the beautiful sunrise every morning. The family was able to go out & enjoy the ocean every day whether it was kayaking, snorkeling, shelling or simply enjoying a leisurely walk along the shoreline.
And a couple of us even made it over to Chinaman's hat. The house was well stocked with needed items such as bath towels, beach towels, crock pot, coolers, blender, some snorkel equipment, bedding & pillows. Many useful items left behind by prior renters including
our 5 boogie boards (which we hope will be enjoyed by many to come). The park next door was busy on the weekends but virtually empty during the week, which made for a wonderful feeling of seclusion. There were dogs next door but they did not bother us nor
did the highway traffic except for the occasional loud motorcycle. The washer/dryer combo was a wonderful addition and saved us from trying to locate a laundromat. The wireless network worked great for all of our devices and the upgraded tvs in each of the
rooms is a nice touch. The only problem we ran in to with the second bathroom, was forgetting to prop open the main house door (since it closes and locks automatically with a door code). We would definitely like to travel to Oahu again & would LOVE to stay
at this house. THANK YOU for a memorable vacation & a GREAT rental!

The house was very clean and had a great Lani. The living area was roomy and it had a very homey feel to it. There was a great view of the mountains in back of the house. The management was very friendly and accommodating. My only complaint was the house
is located right behind a major Hwy, the 83. There was lots of traffic noise and the bedrooms are off the back next to the Hwy noise. The second bath is a full bath with shower but it's located outside off the patio. It wasn't too bad because it was under
the lani and our teenage girls used that one but I would have like to know that before we rented it. All together it was a nice place with the bay off the back of the house. I just was disappointed that the house was so very close to the major Hwy.
Aloha Lynn,
Thank you for your review. The home is off a main coastal highway. To help with the noise, there is a white noise machine in the master bedroom on the desk. The owner will be purchasing another white noise machine for the second bedroom as well. Mahalo, Hawaii Beach Homes.

I can't say enough about this wonderful home in Kualoa! It is the cutest house in the most amazing setting...if this home doesn't please someone, then they probably can't be pleased anywhere. Our two kids loved being able to get up and snorkel right in
front of the house. The house is stocked with everything you could need in the kitchen, which is great because we cooked everyday. The BBQ is an older style built in, charcoal grill, which is great but we also bought a little Weber style grill because we like
to BBQ a lot! It was our little contribution to this magical little home and whoever else is lucky enough to stay there :) Thank you for an unforgetable family vacation!!

a guest from Oakley, ID recommends this vacation rental
The location is very nice dispite the fact the beach is rocky. The picture are mis leading and show a soft sandy beach. The view is beautiful and interesting. The property is within feet from the Highway so plan on lots of road noise and sirens during
the night. The property is old, the furniture and beds are well used. In our experience we felt like we needed to clean the property before it was used. Next door neibor has a couple of dogs that like to bark and go crazy every time you walk out the back to
the to the beach.
There is a nice park right next to the property. The property has a very nice deck. Directly behind the property is a very nice view of a mountain and beautiful grass meadow. Cost and acceptability are subjective. The value if the property were clean is fair.
I also think the renter should be aware the beach is not like it is shown in the picture, it's too close to the road and noisy, the level of cleanliness is typical of a beach hut. Don't plan on thinking its going to be like staying in a resort. More like an
older Motel 6 that's not very clean.
Multiple times prior to check in we remind guests that we are available 7 days a week, so are sorry these guests did not call and give us a chance to take care of their complaints. We did talk to the guests after receiving this review, and were given more details: they stated that the bedrooms and bathrooms were very clean, the "dirty" areas according to these guests were the doors, the light switches, and there was dust on some of the floorboard trim. We have discussed this with our cleaner, she will address these issues immediately. We have added a white noise machine to the bedroom to counteract outside noise. All photos of the beach and ocean were taken from directly in front of the house, and from the adjacent beach park, we don't believe them to be at all "misleading". We do find it misleading to compare this beloved family home to a Motel 6 - in addition to our own staff the home owners consistently visit the home to check on maintenance and cleaning. They regularly update linens, towels, and other household goods, and have even been known to leave behind little gifts to incoming guests. Their goal is that all families who stay in Kualoa Hale love and enjoy the home as much as their own family does.

the road with alot of traffic, also there are 5 dogs in the next yard that never stop barking. The house was alot older than the photos show, with no dishwasher or gas BBQ and when the internet was working which wasn't very often, it was so slow. The staff

Nice and clean family location with everything equiped you need for a short stay. Directly at the water with a small (private) beach and only a few steps to the long sand beach of Kualoa Regional Park.
Only down-side for us was the nearby main-street (sleeping rooms are directly facing the street) with a lot of cars, trucks and motorcycle running by all day and all night long.
Thank you for writing a review. Like most beachfront homes in Oahu, the house is located off the main coastal road. Most guests seem to stop noticing the traffic sounds after they have settled in, this is helped further if a/c and fans are turned on. However, if you are sensitive to noise this rental is not the best option for you. Please call the office for more details.

This audiobook will be perfect for anyone who wants to improve his or her interactions with another person in a way that will advance his or her goals.

"Primarily for Sales..."
This was not what I was expecting but I did come away with a better understanding of how I've been manipulated (eye-opener) in a few areas. That being said, that wasn't why I purchased the book. Disappointed.
A Series of NLP techniques that provenly do not stand to any test and won't resign. Misleading and frankly quite stupid. Boring and useless.
Pacing and leading, building rapport .... generalized statement and rubbish psychology. I though it was an intelligent book. Rubbish. Compete rubbish.
"Great content on the go!"
I love the audio version of mind control mastery, it is always there when I need to refresh my mind on life enhancing psychological principles. I listen to it for short periods of time, then take action right after to deeply ingrain these principles into my subconscious.
Content, narrator...absolutely amazing...downloading and listening to audio books since decades. I bought the hard book copy if the book so I can read and underline everything that touches me.
Congratulations...great work...and Thank You!

I could have hashed these thoughts out over a long weekend. Nothing new or interesting.
"really terrible"
the writing is bad and the narration is wooden.. which wouldn't be bad if the information was usful... it is not... really terrible
"Great tactics and principles"
This book is very insightful and helping you understand how to communicate at a higher level. It helps you understand the tactics and principles of connecting with people, building trust, and helping them fulfill what they already wanted to purchase. I highly recommend this book for those seeking to better themselves at sales, persuasion, and leadership and influence!
"Optimal integrated sequence instructions"
The author was concise and clear with the how part of the mind control options. It gave me pause as to how to formulate communication strategies to gain influential rapport. I would like to see more in depth examples as to the application of his themes to better use each of his descriptive views on mind control mastery. Nevertheless it was a good start on creating my own process based on his work.

U.S. Ambassador Says Kurds Want To Remain Part Of Iraq
U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Khalilzad (file photo) (AFP) 11 December 2005 -- U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Zalmay Khalilzad says Iraqi Kurdish leaders realize that the Kurds would be isolated and surrounded by unfriendly neighbors if they split from the rest of Iraq.
Speaking on CNN today, Khalilzad said he has spoken repeatedly about this to Kurdish leaders Jalal Talabani and Masoud Barzani.
He said they both believe it is better to remain part of Iraq rather than pursue secession. Khalilzad was speakig only days ahead of Iraq's 15 December parliamentary elections.
Iraqi Kurds, who were harshly persecuted under Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, have long desired secession, but Turkey, Iran, and Syria -- all with substantial Kurdish minorities -- oppose the establishment of a Kurdish state on their borders.
The United States and the international community favor a unified but federal Iraq in which Kurds have a high degree of autonomy.

We use induced microearthquakes to study fracture and joint geometry and their influence on fluid-flow paths. Fracture mapping at Los Alamos started with the Hot Dry Rock geothermal project. In 1990 we began to apply these techniques to oil and gas problems. The figure to the right shows seismic data collected during steady-state production from a shallow, carbonate oil reservoir in Clinton Co. Kentucky. Below is the reservoir's productive fracture geometry delineated from the microearthquake locations detected over a 6-month period.

2016 FOP Friends Conference and Family Gathering – Bringing the FOP Community Together!
2016 FOP Friends Conference and Family Gathering – Bringing the FOP Community Together!
Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to making the second Conference and Family Gathering a resounding success. We were delighted to welcome so many families, researchers and clinicians to the Radisson Blu Airport Hotel, Manchester for a weekend of learning, sharing and developing lasting friendships with others who are, in one way or another, part of the FOP community.
Although the main event was on Saturday 21st May 2016, our dedicated FOP clinicians were in Manchester from Thursday through to the Sunday, holding clinical appointments with patients all day - besides Saturday morning when they were presenting at the conference! Professor Fred Kaplan, Dr Robert Pignolo and Dr Richard Keen led the appointments and welcomed other clinicians to prompt interest and learning into the medical aspects of FOP – perhaps inspiring the FOP heroes of the future!
Families, researchers and clinicians came together in style on the Friday night for a meet and greet reception. People travelled from all around the UK and further afield. Eleven countries were represented including Finland, Sweden, and as far as South Africa and Australia! This meeting was the first time that many of the FOP community had seen each other since the 2014 event and there was an overwhelming feeling of togetherness and excitement for the weekend ahead.
Saturday morning came and delegates - families, researchers and clinicians - gathered in the conference room for a 9am start. Young children attended the crèche for a fun-filled day which included building crazy robots and making their own jewellery.
The morning delivered information on the latest research progress made in the search for treatments for FOP, with presentations from world renowned FOP experts and pharmaceutical representatives. At lunch time, the children joined their parents and all 104 delegates came together for a group photo in the foyer, before tucking in to some great food.
The afternoon session included an update on the FOP natural history study, information on the FOP connection registry and a talk from a Great Ormond Street Hospital paediatric dentist with experience treating FOP patients.
Later in the afternoon, families were invited to take part in three workshop sessions. The Genetic Counselling and Neuro Linguistic Programming workshops offered delegates the opportunity to interact with specialists in these topics, ask questions, share experiences and explore their options for support. The Meet the Scientists workshop allowed families to ask any outstanding questions to the researchers who are working tirelessly to develop treatment options for FOP. More information on the day's programme can be seen below with links to conference presentations.*
The conference came to a close at 5pm, but the event was far from being over! Families gathered at the bar from 7pm, followed by an evening dinner and quiz. The 'sing that tune' quiz round was once again very popular and revealed some hidden talents! Despite healthy competition for the winner's bottle of Prosecco, the atmosphere was fun and friendly! It was lovely to see so many of the children spending quality time together in the evening after making friends at the crèche; having dinner, dancing and joining in with the 'Whose Fun Feet?' quiz.
Sunday dawned and there was no rest for Professor Kaplan and Dr Pignolo who led clinical appointments all day. Dr Keen had an especially busy Sunday, seeing patients in the morning before going the extra mile to run the Great Manchester 10k, in aid of FOP Friends, along with his daughter.
We are delighted at the success of this event, which has once again encouraged a positive stance towards finding effective treatments for FOP. The FOP Friends team feels privileged to be part of such a strong and caring community and are overwhelmed by the feedback received following the event. Thank you, one and all.
*Conference Programme
Professor Fred Kaplan and Dr Robert Pignolo of the University of Pennsylvania began the day's presentations by providing the background behind What is FOP? The Science for non-scientists and leading a dynamic Q & A session where delegates were able to raise any initial questions. Professor Eileen Shore, also from the University of Pennsylvania then introduced talks on the foundations for future treatments and How do we fix FOP?
Presentations by Dr Alex Bullock, University of Oxford, Dr Paul B. Yu, Harvard Medical School and Lorraine Webber, AstraZeneca R&D followed to cover the potential of kinase inhibitors as a treatment option for FOP.
Dr Donna Grogan of Clementia Pharmaceuticals expanded on How do we fix FOP, with up-to-date information from the Clementia Clinical Trial. To close the mornings session, Dr Aris N. Economides and Dr Xiaobing Qian, both of Regeneron Pharmaceuticals presented their research on Activin as a potential target for FOP treatments.
Dr Richard Keen of University College Hospital, London opened the afternoon session with an Update on the FOP Natural History Study. (Please note, as the study is not yet complete, we are not able to share this presentation.) We then heard about progress being made with the FOP Connection Registry with a presentation by Neal Mantick of the IFOPA.
Next came a talk from Dr Gehan Abou-America, Consultant in Paediatric Dentistry, Great Ormond Street Hospital who addressed the issues with dental procedures for FOP Patients, before holding a session with the children at the crèche on the importance of good dental health.
Presentations were rounded off by the FOP Friends team with an update on our work and suggestions of 'How you can help'. This highlighted some of the fantastic fundraisers held by our supporters and we showcased some new fundraising ideas to help raise money to continue funding the search for treatments. This was a great opportunity to celebrate our fundraising success so far and to thank the FOP community for their amazing efforts to date. For those of you who might have been inspired to organise your own fundraiser, remember that we would love to hear your ideas. We can also provide you with our 'Whose Fun Feet' quiz for you to use at any fundraising event with a quiz element in future – or just to test your family and friends at home!

text: Take two of the math128 bits.. Changes since last time: - Added gcc __int128 versions for where it works - Added Andy's mul_u64_u32_shr() due to popular demand :-) - Added {shl,shr}_u128 as requested by hpa (although I suspect he'll use Andy's fancy function). - Added a U128_INIT() constant initializer. - Renamed mult_u128 to mul_u64_u64, hpa complaned the name was misleading - Fixed some of the code generation issues with add_u128 and mul_u64_64.I've also assumed we're all actually ok with adding this functionality,so unless someone hollers I'll push this for inclusion.

Pop up windows are the affliction of being for supreme of us who devote anytime online. I've been to several sites and had as numerous as 20 pop-ups bother me time I was in that until I activated the pop-up football player on my witness. Why did I discovery them annoying? Because they contained advertisements of material possession I didn't poorness and were of surely no zing to me. I know I'm not unsocial present - quite a few applied math say that as umteen as 86% of pop-up ads are out of use on a conformable foundation.
However, as niggling as they are, victimization pop-ups is an Internet commerce plan of action that is implausibly influential. Some folks tale as much as a 50% upsurge of signups to their mail list, for example, once they use a pop-up ad.
With the arrival of pop-up blockers in browsers, however, this plan of action has get more than sticky to use. There are now software package programs and services that originate unblockable pop-ups for websites, sometimes referred to as popovers, hover ads, or vagrant windows. The two beside which I'm most adapted are the Hover Ad Creator by MarketingTips.com and a unit of time employ titled AdImpact.com. Hover ads are those pop-ups that occur in foremost of you and bounce several present time previously comme il faut yet. The AdImpact.com pop-ups are a graphic pop-up and may become visible in the form of a gelatinous note, a memoranda note, a coupon, a certificate, or any digit of similes.Post ads:

So, how can you use this pop-over scheme in need annoying, or worse yet, scaring distant your website visitors? Here are 7 strategies for using pop-ups effectively:
1. Delay the approach of the pop-up. Most pop-up programs have a temporal arrangement bottleneck aspect that enables the website interior decorator to system of rules a 5 or 10 2d (or long) snag past a pop-up will look on the website. Give your traveler a short-dated porthole of possibility to publication what's on your base camp up to that time asking him to nick conduct.
2. Don't invent a whale pop-up. Today's software permits a extremely configurable pop-up that lets you to order the size, location on the page, and form of doll for the pop-up. A small set in your ways pop-up that's on the straight side of your folio is moderately effective, or a slighter ad that floats in and out once more subtly conveys your phone call.Post ads:

3. Determine the intention of the pop-up. I think the foremost job of a pop-up on a pay enterprise owner's website should be to comfort that enterprise man of affairs bud his schedule. Subscribing to every genre of provision with pop-up emblem ads is a big no-no, as is thing other that is misrelated to this website's conglomerate. Make positive that the job of your pop-up ad straight relates to the goal of your company.
4. Give your traveler what he wishes in the pop-up. Assuming that you've fixed your visitant a broad amount of clip to examine your site, your pop-up should encompass a compelling tender that makes the guest poverty to thieve motion. The grant could be an asking to bid to your self-governing email newssheet that's full of the benevolent of figures he is seeking, or the possibility to have a unrestrained ebook, aural file, or ecourse as well containing further numbers roughly the substance that caused him to estate on your setting.
5. Make the pop-up soft to cover up. Give your company an efficiently diagnosable way of last the pop-up. Sometimes that's a correlation that says "close" or it's an "X" inside the pop-up framing. Don't heaviness your company into a position that he's powerless to exit; otherwise, he'll only just simply confer on your locality.
6. Limit the bringing to light of the pop-up. You don't want to point-blank disconcert your traveler from the remainder of your website. Limit the magnitude of instance that a pop-up appears as all right as the number of present that a pop-up appears. A example of 30 seconds is on average more than passable to notify you traveller of your pop-up offer, and construct certain that the proposition appears only once, not on every one page of your website.
7. Gather facts upon opening. Instead of creating an gate pop-up, ask your guest a sound out upon exiting, or cue him something like subscribing to or requesting your "compelling offer". In this way, there's null that impedes your visitor's viewing of place until he chooses to going away.
This coincidence of new pop-up technology, on near a bit of Internet mercantilism savvy, can serve you harness the clout of your website to concoct a successful strategy that will person company into trade.

British Prime Minister Tony Blair and his Iraqi counterpart Nouri al-Maliki have met Monday, in London. Planned discussions on political and security developments in Iraq were instead dominated by the crisis in Lebanon.
Talks between Mr. Blair and Mr. al-Maliki were supposed to focus on British interests in the southern Iraqi city of Basra, the security situation there and the continuing efforts to build up Iraqi forces in the region. But the events in Lebanon overshadowed the Iraqi prime minister's visit.
At a joint news conference, Mr. Blair said the situation in Lebanon was terrible.
"As I said last week, the immediate cessation of hostilities, of course, we all want to see this on both sides. It is important that it happens," he said. " It is important that it happens because what is occurring at the present time in Lebanon is a catastrophe. It is damaging that country and its fragile democracy. But it is also important that we deal with the reasons why this conflict has come about."
Iraqi Prime Minister al-Maliki said it was bad for the entire region and that all reasonable people wanted the violence to stop. He also said he fears that fundamentalism will now grow in Lebanon.
"I realize that what is going on in fact has reflections and repercussions not only in Lebanon but also in the region and the whole region because it is unacceptable, and the excessive use of force cannot be accepted. It is directed against civilian targets and not military targets," he said.
Mr. Blair, meanwhile, said he was optimistic that a plan to end the violence could be reached within days. He also backed sending international troops into the area to safeguard security in the region.
"I believe we will need some form of international force in the south in Lebanon, which we must build up over time to make sure that that can act then as a buffer between those people on the Lebanese side who want to cause difficulty with Israel," he said.
This was Mr. al-Maliki's first official trip to Britain. He is expected to travel next to Washington for talks with President Bush.

On Jan. 6, Macy's announced that its anchor store at the Berkshire Mall will close in early spring, along with 35 other store locations, in a move to promote cost efficiency.
"In today's rapidly evolving retail environment, it is essential that we maintain a portfolio of the right stores in the right places," Macy's Chairman and CEO Terry Lundgren said in a release. "So we will continue to add stores selectively while also being disciplined about closing stores that are unproductive or no longer robust shopping destinations because of changes in the local retail shopping landscape."
The announcement follows a previous release, in which Lundgren stated that between 35 and 40 of its 770 stores would close in early 2016. This statement did not specify which stores would close. Since then, four stores have closed, while the remaining 36 will close following a clearance sale that began on Jan. 11 and will run for between eight and 12 weeks. Other store locations to close include the Eastfield Mall in Springfield, Mass. and Enfield, Conn.
Macy's had been an anchor tenant at the Berkshire Mall since 2006, according to iBerkshires. Best Buy, another anchor tenant at the mall, closed on Oct. 31, and Radio Shack also closed its store at the mall last year. Now, the only major stores remaining are J.C. Penney, Sears and Target. J.C. Penney and Sears have both announced their intentions to close stores nationwide as well, but none of the stores that will close are located in the Berkshires.
When Best Buy closed, Jonathan Butler, president and CEO of the Berkshire Chamber of Commerce, expressed confidence in the economic health of the region, due to increasing growth in downtown areas, even though this growth may come at the expense of the mall (see "Best Buy pulls out of local mall," Sept. 30, 2015). Even with the closing of Macy's, Butler is still "encouraged" by recent economic developments in the area.
"[The Chamber of Commerce] is disappointed to see Macy's closing, as we were with Best Buy," Butler said. "However, our opinion about the economic health of the region hasn't changed as a result of Macy's recent announcement."
According to the release from Macy's, employees from stores that close may receive offers to work at nearby locations, and eligible employees who have been laid off will receive severance benefits. According to the Berkshire Eagle, the Berkshire Mall location has 58 employees.

Something the blogosphere most likely does not know about me is that I write poetry.
A lot of poetry actually, and as embarrassing as it apparently is, I do consider myself a poet. Creative writing is something I have always wanted to pursue, though my outlook on the craft differs from most peoples' perceptions of poetry and writing – especially regarding teenage girls.
When people hear "I'm writing poetry," they assume I am sitting in the dark, softly whimpering as I scribble away about the luminosity of the moon, the abundance of tears in my eyes, and some nameless Male's "flaxen hair." …No. This is untrue. This is not how I write. Poets have been given a bad rep throughout the years, and this probably has to do with the melancholy dispositions of famous writers such as Emily Dickinson, Sylvia Plath, and sad romantics like Percy Bysshe Shelley and the Bronte sisters. Although all poets listed were incredible and have become examples of great, classic writing for a reason, their trend of depression and early suicide has made the art of poetry seem like a sappy, pathetic outlet of self expression.
This isn't to say it is not a great form of self expression, because poetry is indeed therapeutic. It bears the same merit as art forms such as dance, playing/writing music, and visual arts. Granted, I have experienced many of my own battles with depression and anxiety, and writing has assisted as an effective therapy and escape. The thing is, my writing is unlike that sappy, cliche poetry – and there are many poets who, though they have struggled with terrible pasts, circumstances, and events, still write with edge and fervor. Poets like Allen Ginsberg, Oscar Wilde, and Maya Angelou are well-known poets that are sparsely regarded during most poetry conversations. These men and women still wrote about negative topics and harsh realities, but their writing is so fresh and unlike the times that they are not the typical example of "poetry" that non-writers first think of when the topic is mentioned. This isn't to say I don't enjoy a good read of romantic, nineteenth century works at times, but people need to know that there IS other poetry than what their frail English teacher had them read in tenth grade. So stop groaning when people mention poetry, it isn't at all as corny as one would think!


text: Hi list, I am currently adding support for Xen dom0/domU with anita, our automated installation and testing tool. The current system uses QEMU to install a full-fledged OS to run ATF tests. For convenience, I would like to reuse the same image for testing native, dom0 and domU environments. Thing is: the root device is different for domU and native/dom0 (xbd0 vs wd0). This causes failures everywhere during boot, due to improper fstab(5) entry for /. Andreas suggested me to try wedges. They do work, as they autoconfigure properly, but current kernels do not have DKWEDGE_METHOD_BSDLABEL turned on by default (and won't have it in the near future I believe, given all the breakage it imposes with current setups). Any other way to autodetect root device while keeping fstab(5) untouched? I want to avoid newbtconf(8) (this will need a couple extract commands in anita to use it), or playing dirty tricks with symlinks to different fstab(5) depending on boot device... I tried to use dkscan_bsdlabel(8) together with sysctl kern.root_device very early during boot (/etc/rc.conf.d/fsck_root), however it returns "Device busy", so I can't use it to circumvent the missing DKWEDGE_METHOD_BSDLABEL options(4).
