Absolutely beautiful property! Everything went very smoothly with the assistance of Dominique...all requests were made quickly and without hesitation! The home was well equipped with everything you needed in the kitchen, bedrooms, pool, etc.!! The views and sunsets were stunning....in fact we had so much fun at this house we did not even go anywhere! We hope to return in the future!
This is our second time staying at the dolphin house. It was fabulous again!
This house is wonderful. There is nothing lacking.. everything you could want or need in the kitchen, bedrooms were great, outdoor space was perfect for every meal. There were nine of us from 70 to a toddler and having the pool delighted both the adults and the kids. The views and sunsets were spectacular and the beach close just down the path was a plus. The property is very secure and safe. Also, the owner and agent were very prompt to answer any questions. We thoroughly loved it and were sad to leave. Aloha and Mahalo!!!
We stayed at the Dolphin House in early February and absolutely fell in love with it. It is such an amazing property and has an unbeatable view. It's a short walk into Kailua where there is an abundance of restaurants and shopping. The owner is easy to work with and handled everything for us. We will be back again for sure!
Fabulous House with Everything and an Amazing Oceanfront View!
This is a great property, with a gorgeous oceanfront view! We took advantage of the offer to have a chauffeur meet us at the airport for a special treat. Unfortunately, my husband couldn't take the limo because he had to pick up the car, but he did get to go to the rental counter without having to haul luggage!
The grounds and pool are well kept, and the house has an incredible "bringing the outdoors in" feel to it. During the day, the ocean breeze cools the house wonderfully, although in the evening, the air can sometimes be rather still. All the bedrooms have A/C and the master has the same great view of the ocean as the living area downstairs. Although the jets on the spa tub in the master were not working at the time of our visit, we did enjoy soaking in the tub after a long day of traveling.
The house is very well stocked with everything imaginable. Beach towels are plentiful, wonderfully plush, and appear new. Spices of almost every kind are in the kitchen, along with staples like flour, sugar, and Keurig coffee! And of course plastic wrap, foil, and Ziploc bags to keep the bugs away. Speaking of bugs, we were delighted not to have been bothered by any during our stay. The small community feels safe, with security guards patrolling 24 hours a day (important because there is a public path to the beach that runs along the shoreline behind the houses).
As for things to do, (as if staying at the house wasn't enough!) there are tide pools right behind the property and the beach is a short walk away. Be careful climbing down to the path from behind the house if you decide to go that way. If you decide to wander further, the house is stocked with plenty of boogie boards, beach chairs, ice chests--everything you can imagine needing for a trip to Hapuna or Magic Sands. Be sure to check out the supplies before buying or renting any beach toys. It will save you a lot of money! And the ice maker machine in the bar is perfect for stocking the ice chest with ice to keep all your drinks cold at the beach! Oh, and not to mention there are plenty of flashlights throughout the house. They are great for a walk to the beach after sunset, or take a few with you if you go to see the volcano erupting at night.
All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Dolphin House. We did run into a few hiccups the first day, but Dominique was wonderful and Greg got things sorted out for us. After that, everything ran very smoothly and we had a marvelous time! Thanks!
This was our third time staying at the Dolphin House, and we were only there for a few days before we booked the house for the summer of 2018. This says a lot for how much we love this house. It has everything you could ever possibly want or need, just a few steps from the pool and the beach, and neighbors are very friendly. There is something to do for all ages, we are ages 85, 63, 45, 39, 36, 26, 11 times 2. Must see for yourself.
