We loved the outdoor areas and the beach access. The house had so many things available such as beach toys and chairs and the kitchen had all needed cookware

Memorable family trip

The location, the company & the island. We loved every minute. Carol, the host, was one of the most thoughtful hosts we have ever come across. We traveled with our 4 teenage kids & my elderly parents and in-laws and Carol helped us get a few extra items we needed to help them feel comfortable. Would highly recommend staying here again.

Stunning location and home!

The home was perfect for our extended family of 12. The home was beautiful, comfortable, and well-stocked with everything (kitchen utensils, paper products, water toys, games -- well beyond the norm)! The location is gorgeous. And to top it off, the service was unbeatable! Every question and need was immediately addressed. We highly recommend this property!

Paradise

Comfortable home, beautiful yard, right on a quiet beach, with a pickleball court, couldn’t ask for more. We had a family group of 14 and had plenty of room. Hot tub was clean and was enjoyed on cooler evenings. Restaurants, groceries, surfing, snorkeling, hiking, and more are all close by. Would definitely stay again.

Hoch family stay at Moani Kailolohia

Overall, the property was very nice and the proximity to the beach was great. Local traffic made driving anywhere in the area difficult, but unavoidable. The caretaker kept in touch, but we never met her, but there were no problems that she needed to be there for. Fortunately, the maintenance handyman was very helpful, although he was working on a project the entire stay (in the crawl-space under the house).

Family Vacation

This house was a perfect fit for our family group of 13 ages 1-63 years old. The grandkids especially loved the yard with the large grassy area to play in after a long day at the beach or site seeing. We couldn't get the grill to work so we just went and ordered from the nearby food trucks again, yummy! The location was great for our adventures and away from the hustle of Honolulu. The 4 main bedrooms had a/c but the rest of the house including the 2 twin bedrooms were at times too hot for comfort. The house was perfect for us, but just know that it is more rustic than the pictures show. Overall we loved the house and would not hesitate to return.

Initially disappointed but worked out good

I expected it to be just a little more up to date and definitely a lot more cleaner. I’m a detail person. The screens were dirty. I feel the home needed a good washing outside and detailed cleaning inside. The refrigerator was clean. There was a musty smell of some sort in the home particularly in the upstairs and there definitely needs to be a way to keep the other rooms cooler. Terribly warm upstairs. But the property was fantastic for our group and it wasn’t so fancy that I didn’t have to keep watch of the kids constantly. You might check the wiring for the jacuzzi. My son in law jiggled something and we were then able to get the jets turned on and didn’t have a problem after that. But all in all we all had a good time together and enjoyed the location!

Great stay at Moani Kai

We were very pleased with our decision to stay at Moani Kai. We had 12 family members ranging from 73 to nine years old. The house itself was clean with well-appointed kitchens in terms of dishes and pot & pans. The toaster in one unit didn’t work, and there were no seasonings on hand- not even salt and pepper. There is a nice gas grill outside that ran out of propane in the middle of using it. We were able to complete cooking on an indoor grill from the upper unit, and the propane was refilled the next day. Beds were comfortable, and bathrooms were small, but updated and clean. There is laundry attached to the house with two washers and two dryers. This was a big bonus with so many people in our group. The kids enjoyed the pickleball court. The view at this property is outstanding! Watching the sunrise on morning walks on the beach was the best way to start the day, and the view from either lanai or even from inside the house was incredible. The wind from the ocean did strengthen throughout the day which made it very noisy when sitting outside. We could not get the hot tub above 98 degrees, so it was more of a lukewarm tub. We really liked the location of the property. There is a great food truck park down the street and a grocery store within five minutes. The grocery store is in a dry county, so you’ll have to purchase alcohol elsewhere. Overall we were very happy with our stay at Moani Kai and would not hesitate to stay here again.

Nice place BUT

The property managers (Rental Adviser) were not helpful with communication throughout the booking process and pre check-in. The house itself was pretty good, EXCEPT for the roosters. These roosters (there were at least 3) crowed all throughout the night and day. Everyone in our party was woken up by them every morning and sometimes as early 3:30am. This made it difficult for everyone to enjoy the stay due to not getting much sleep. There was a super raggedy orange construction fence that made the view unsightly which is set between the house and the beach. You also have to walk around it to get to the beach and it’s a little awkward. I have to say though, it’s not a far walk which was a plus. There are a few positives of this place. The most important one being the property care taker because he was excellent and extremely helpful. He might have been the best part of the whole experience. And the close access to the beach and food trucks was nice, too. Those are the only reasons we are giving this place 2 stars.

Not what we expected...

This was our first time staying on the North Shore of Oahu. The area itself is absolutely beautiful, and we’ve always loved our time in Hawaii — this was our seventh visit, having stayed multiple times on Maui and Kauai. We chose this property because it accommodated our two families and offered oceanfront access.While the location is undoubtedly the highlight, the house itself is in need of significant updates to justify the high price point. The rental is marketed at a luxury level, but unfortunately, it falls short of that expectation.The management team was responsive and addressed a few issues during our stay, which we appreciated. However, the overall condition of the home left a lot to be desired. Access to the property involves using padlocks at both the gate and the house, which felt dated and inconvenient. The laundry is located outside, and we had to carry our luggage across the lawn to reach the entrance.The advertised sports court was in poor condition and essentially unusable. The beach directly in front of the house is rocky and not ideal for swimming — especially during our March stay when the waves were very strong.Carol, the host, was kind and helpful throughout, but there’s only so much she can do given the state of the property.Ultimately, we would not stay at this home again. It has potential due to its location, but it’s in serious need of renovation and modernization if it’s going to continue to be offered at premium rates.

The location was wonderful! There was plenty of space for our whole family. The AC in the bedrooms worked great. We loved having a sport court. Upstairs issues: pretty hot in living area, padlock is difficult to work & use. Downstairs issues: bathroom shower door installed incorrectly causing water to spray out, stovetop only works on very low or super hot & the oven takes forever to bake things. Overall we had a great stay. Suggestions would be to use a gate code that has an automatic open/shut instead of difficult padlocks. A light or sign would be helpful to see from the road as it’s hard to find in the dark.

Wonderful Time in the North Shore

The heavy rain throughout our 9-days stay did not wash away a great Hawaiian experience at this beautiful house. We had family members flying in from Sydney, Boston, Houston and Chile and we were able to spend some amazing quality time at this spacious house and when the rain did stop and the sun occasionally came out, the beach was just a few steps away.
