Aaron & Anna, We thoroughly enjoyed your beautiful beach house. It was fully stocked with everything we needed (and more)! If I had known, I could've packed lighter!
If we ever get to come back to Oahu -- I know where I want to stay. So close to the beach, so quite and lovely. Like a home away from home. It was perfect!
Thanks again!

| Thank you Aaron & Anna! This place was exactly what we were looking for! We had 5 people (2 couples, 1 single), and it fit our needs perfectly! The house itself was very clean and came with all of the comforts of home. However, the location made this place awesome! It's a VERY short walk to private Ke Iki Beach, Shark's Cove, Foodland grocery store, and all of the other amazing north shore beaches...you can't beat it for the price! Also, your help throughout the entire process was much appreciated. Hope to see you on a future trip to the North Shore! Mahalo!!! :) |

| WOW! INCREDIBLE! These were just some of the comments made by our family while we stayed at Ke Iki Hale. I must say that this is, by far, the greatest place I have ever stayed. Hotels, B&B's, condos, you name it and this beautiful home is just first rate! I want to thank Aaron and Anna for their hospitality and the owners of this wonderful home who have allowed folks like our family the opportunity to enjoy these incredible accommodations. If you ever have the chance to stay at Ke Iki Hale please, do it! It is a slice of paradise that you will remember for ever! |

| We stayed in the house for the last 4 days of our trip to Oahu. We definitely saved the best for last! We loved the house, the neighborhood and the nearby beaches. Great place for couples or families. The house was in immaculate condition (very clean) and had everything we could possibly need. I was surprised with the great quality of appliances, beds, decor, etc. It was nice to have Aaron close by to help with any problems (although none arose). He also gave great advice on the area. If we are lucky enough to come back, we'll spend our entire week there instead of different places on the island. |

The house worked great for the last few nights of our
first Hawaiian vacation. It had everything we needed
and more that we would have put to use if our stay
was a little longer. |

| Aaron and Anna - Much mahalo for a wonderful weekend at Ke Iki Beach. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute spent at the beach house...it was so awesome to wake up in the morning in such a beautiful home and have the beach literally right outside the front door. The house was well stocked with everything we needed for the holiday weekend, from kitchen supplies to beach toys and bikes. We will definitely plan to stay at one of your rentals again in the near future! Thanks again for everything! |

Pleasantly surprised by "No Surprises"
This was a great home to stay at and we loved it. So many choices on web for places; some pricey, some dicey, this one was perfect balance of location to beach, to shopping, etc.
I searched many ads, but this one was meant to be. Credit due to Aaron & Anna for there honest discription of home and especilly their help with booking, confirmations, and all around good support during our stay!
Beach was incredible and must be experienced to believe. First time out on it we saw whales and were mesmerized every time we went out!
Aloha and Happy 2009 New Year to Aaron and Anna from your friends; Chris/Laura/Garrett/Jordan,Christine/Malia/Alex, Asley/Pete, Reid, Carol/Lee/Nate/Eli/Elis' Monkey!!!!! |

| Mahalo, Aaron & Anna!!!! We so much enjoyed staying here, it truly was like a home away from home...only much better! We are so sad to leave this place on the beautiful North Shore. Thanks again, Aaorn, for the tips on getting around, and the places to check out! For anyone visiting, we highly recommend dining at Lei Lei's at least once...great food and excellent service! Can't say enough great things about the house, perfect for our family of five...will definitely be back again! Aloha |

| We really enjoyed staying at this rental. It was close to a gorgeous beach(Ke Iki) that the kids and I enjoyed while my husband biked up to Ehukai everyday to surf.The hot tub was great and it was nice to have a computer and printer for email and printing boarding passes. The close proximity to foodland was helpful. Aaron, thanks for recommending Lei Lei's at Turtle Bay. We enjoyed it so much we went there 3 of the 5 nights we stayed with you. I would recommend this house to others who are visiting the North Shore. The Ke Iki beach area is wonderful. |

| We use VRBO a lot, and this was our best experience. As other commenters have said, the house is exactly as lovely as the photos indicate. It was *beautifully staged* when we walked in, setting us at ease as we got settled for the week. Possibly MOST impressive was that the house had every single thing we'd need for our 1 year old and our 3.5 year old kiddos. I mean, everything. Usually we're running all over the place to find and buy kid stuff we can't get by without, and we were totally spared this colossal pain here. We had perfect days and great nights on the North Shore. We highly reccommend this place and would absolutely stay here again if the opportunity arises. Thanks, Aaron, for making our stay so easy. |

What a great house!! We enjoyed our short stay in Oahu. The snorkeling in Shark's Cove is fantastic. We would recommend hiking up to the Koko crater for something off the beaten path. We would definitely stay in this wonderful beach house again. Mahalo :)

| We were absolutely thrilled with the house and area. The house was as you see it; clean, updated and the location was great. It took minutes for our family of five (three teens) to feel at home. The area was relatively quiet with a small town feel and there was no shortage of things to do. So glad we stayed here instead of the craziness of Waikiki. |

This was our second visit, and everything was great. Aaron and Anna, the property managers, are always so attentive and helpful. The house has everything you could need in a vacation rental. As a frequent traveler and home renter, it is always a pleasure to stay at a house where the owners have thought of everything. This is a great location, close to everything on the north shore. We love to ride the bikes all over exploring all of the beaches.
Thanks again for a great stay.
See you next year. |

The guest house was phenomenal! All the
amenities and furnishings in the house were clean
and in great condition. They have everything you
need from laundry to cooking utensils and we felt
very grateful to have such a convenient home right
next to the beach...The added bonuses of the two
bikes, jacuzzi computer (with fast internet), and full
DVD/TV entertainment was perfect. We were blown
away by how clean and comfortable everything was
in the house. I would not recommend staying
anywhere but here if you're planning on a vacation
in the north shore...Thanks again for a wonderful
time! Best, Craig and Ishita |

| The house exceeded our expectations. All the pictures properly depict the furniture and decor of the house. We rented the house (total of 4 adults) and the accommadations were great. Beds were comfy and linens were clean. Computer desk adjacent to the dining room table with a color printer was a definate plus. Location of the house was ideal. We walked to Foodland (about 5 min walk) every morning to pick up breakfast and coffee and drove (5-7 min drive) to Waimea beach everyday. We highly recommend Mackey's shrimp truck in Haleiwa (near 7-11) -- it was by far the best meal we had on the north shore (under $15/plate of shrimp). We definately plan on visiting again. |

Aloha!
This was the most enjoyable home we stayed at during our two week vacation in Hawaii. I only wish that this house was available during our entire stay in Oahu.
Aaron was really great during the entire process and even personally greeted us when we arrived. Very pleasant and gave us great dining and attraction tips.
The home was equipped with everything and anything you could think of! It made us feel right at home. Full kitchen, laundry, bikes, towels... It was just great.
I definitely recommend this place and will be staying here again the next time I am able to visit Oahu.
Aloha and Mahalo!

Aaron,
Thank you so much!! We loved the place and you were so
kind to let us stay a little longer than check-out. I
know a normal hotel would not have done that. Thank
you for your hospitality, and for giving us the 2006
rates when we return. It is up in the air when we will
be back, but we will definitely let you know..probably
when the big waves come into town.
Thanks again!

| Our family had a wonderful week at Ke Iki Kale. The house is exactly is advertised--clean, comfortable and well-equipped. The location is ideal for hanging out at beautiful near-by beaches or exploring the island. We have rented beach houses in many places and this was one of the best we have ever found. We hope to rent it again. |

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ke
Iki Beach Hale. The house was clean and
comfortable. We had five adults and two teenagers
in our group and never felt crowded.
The convenient location made for pleasant walks or
bike rides to any number of beautiful beaches,
public tennis courts at the local elementary school,
shopping at the Saturday farmer's market or
heading to Foodland and Starbucks.
Aaron greeted us upon our arrival and made us feel
right at home.
The only suggestion we have is to add a few more
pieces of silverware. With seven folks we kept
running out of forks and spoons.
We hope to find the time to return someday soon. |

| What started out as a family vacation to visit my son stationed on Oahu turned into a wedding on KeIke Beach. Words can't describe how beautiful it was at sunset with only 8 of us on the beach to witness the ceremony. The home itself is perfect for any situation. It is close to everything and far enough away from city to relax. Aaron was very helpful in setting things up.Everything you could ever need to survive the beach is there waiting for you , Beach chairs, Towels, Bikes, Snorkel, Boogie Boards. Washer and dryer, surround sound ,DVD,And a DELL to help you get info on all island happenings.I am a home body but this home makes you feel like you are at home with all the amentities. Best Beaches I've ever seen. Don't Pass this up. |

What a wonderful vacation home to stay in while on the North Shore of Oahu. This rental has everything. Access to the beach is only a short walk away and the beach hardly has any people on it. We spent a lot of time at the other beaches along the way too.
Be sure to go to Ted's Bakery and see the green sea turtles on the beach down the road. Just watch for all of the people lined up on the waterline.
Aaron and Anna are wonderful hosts and we can't say enough about the rental.

Aaron, thanks for helping us arrange for our stay at Ke Iki Beach. We had a fantastic time, and we are already looking forward to our next visit. The house worked out great. It had everything that we needed, and the owner has it fixed up with some very nice accommodations. The Jacuzzi was great in the evenings, and having the computer available really helped in being able to quickly research events and activities on the island. And, all of the basics were there and useful, from the kitchen items and the washer/dryer to the TV/DVD/VCR and surround sound....all very nice. This is a great location for experiencing Oahu.
