Great place to stay!

Great location near our favorite beach. It was vey convenient to use the beach supplies from the house. Communication with the host was very good. Our only complaint is that the living room air conditioner had trouble keeping up with the heat. The air conditioning in the bedrooms worked well though.

Perfect spot to land

I visited with my mother-in-law and two babies under two. This was the perfect location to walk to the beach, grill at the end of the day, and make new memories with family. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay! The home was very clean and comfortable, Vic was communicative and available if we needed anything, but the house was stocked when we arrived so we were set!

Great place to stay in an excellent location

We have been to Hawaii a few times and this location has been our favorite so far. The beach that is maybe a five minute walk was awesome. It was perfect for our kids to play at. The beach only had a few people there each day we were there. We would definitely book this location with Vic again. Thanks again!!

Waimanalo Gem

Oh the East side of the island. The 2 bedroom house was comfortable and having a full kitchen was great. Also, walking to one of the best beaches in Waimanalo to watch the sunrise and swim. Definitely a place to “E komo mai”

Family Getaway

Our stay at Vic and Karla's was lovely. They communicated very well with me as we planned the trip, and they offered many resources to help us stay informed and safe. The place was clean and had what we needed. The beach is beautiful and truly a short walk away. The town of Waimanalo is also cute and had what we needed. The location of the house and the town were fabulous for our trip, as we wanted to explore beaches and come back to a home base.

First time using VRBO. The owner was jovial and informative. The property was just a short walk to what was a quiet beach. Most days we only saw a few people walking the beach. The house was well appointed with everything we needed for a great vacation. Couldn't be more pleased.

At Home in Hawaii

This property was perfect for my family of six. What we appreciated the most was that it felt like we were staying in a home, rather than a resort. Highlights include a five minute walk to the beach, air conditioning, comfy beds, beach toys and plenty of indoor and outdoor space. Potential low-lights include road noise, school next door and dated amenities. We are looking at booking this property again next year. We absolutely loved our stay!

Home away from home

The experience at the glass ball hideaway was such an amazing experience. The best part of the property is that it’s location is a 5 minute walk from the beach. We met our host Vic who gave us such a warm welcome and a walkthrough of the house. This place is for family or a couple who want to stay away from the crowds of tourist and enjoy a comforts and tranquility of people who live in Oahu. We didn’t want to leave, but we will definitely come back to Vic and Karla’s little hideaway.

Destination wedding

It was a very cozy and laidback place. We enjoyed the daycare singing local songs, occasionally okd mcdonalds farm too and playing. We loved the local feel rather than tourist waikiki feel. Of the clincher was the 3 mile long Waimānalo Beach which was easy walk never crowded and my opinion best beach in Oahu. Very good down home local restaurants and more upscale just a few minutes away in Kailua. My daughters wedding took place at Kalama Beach club close by. I enjoyed the local neighborhood trees and flowers as much as the botanical gardens when walking to the beach.

Great Community

We really enjoyed the community in and around the Glass ball hideaway along with the home itself for its amenities. Overall a very positive experience. The school children singing each morning was very nice. Since we are use to very little noise due to living in the country (no traffic) we found the road noise the only negative. Thank you to our hosts.

Returning home after 11 years, this beautiful home made us feel as if we never left! Located on the Windward side of Oahu, we had the most amazing beaches, best food, friendliest people, and scenic views right at our fingertips! Vic was so professional and treated us like Ohana !

Perfectly Authentic Hawaiian Home!

This house was perfect for our needs. The rooms were spacious, there were plenty of towels for everyone and the kitchen was stocked with more condiments and supplies than I expected. The neighborhood is quiet and perfect if you prefer a relaxing stay away from the tourist attractions in Honolulu. The beach is gorgeous, secluded and just a quick, easy walk away. Vic was gracious and attentive to our needs even though we arrived after midnight. We especially appreciated his thoughtfulness in supplying coffee, creamer and muffins so we could relax on our first morning in paradise!

Residential, Walk to beach, family getaway

Vic was such a wonderful host. The house was perfect for our family (4yr old son). Amenities were great, fully functional kitchen. The rooster in the neighborhood was up bright and early but that’s going to happen in any residential neighborhood on the island. We didn’t mind. The walk to beach was perfect and Kailua and Bellows were just down the way. So much more relaxing than Waikiki. The house has beach chairs, toys, boogie boards and we donated a few toys as well for the next family. Great price for the location. We would highly recommend and would stay again. Mahalo for the family memories.

Cozy, comfortable house- 4 min walk to beach

Vic & Karla's house was cozy, unique, and comfortable. There were 4 of us but it easily sleeps 6 (one queen bed in each of the two bedrooms and one queen bed off the living room). The bathroom was spacious with lots of counter space and nice bath and beach towels. We cooked a few meals in the kitchen which was equipped with lots of dishes, silverware, and appliances like a blender and rice cooker. The house is about a 4 minute walk to the beach. The beach here is absolutely gorgeous- a quiet, not-crowded, white sandy beach and absolutely beautiful for sunrise. Vic was a gracious, helpful host upon our arrival. We would absolutely stay here again.

Short walk to an amazing beach!

We enjoyed our short stay in Waimanalo. It is a beautiful area and just a block from the most picturesque beach. The home is well-stocked with all of the beach stuff you might need- chairs, towels, umbrellas, boogie boards, sand toys and more. There was plenty of room for our family of 6 to sleep. Waimanalo doen'st have lots of stuff to do, but that's the point! And, it's easy to get into Honolulu or the north shore for a day trip. Vic was there to greet us upon arrival and was very friendly and answered all of our questions. The only thing that I would change is to have comfier pillows. Other than that we were very pleased with our stay and would love to go back!

Absolutely Perfect

Glass Ball Hideaway was absolutely perfect. Waimanalo beach is only a short walk from the house and a perfect way to start the day. You can take a leisurely walk or admire the views while you drink your morning coffee. The house was cozy and comfortable. If you are a light sleeper, the house is next to the main street which can be loud and headlights light up the front room during rush hour. It may be worth it to have darker window coverings for the front room to block out the headlights and maybe drown out some of the noise. Nonetheless, we were incredibly happy and content at the Glass Ball Hideaway. We have recommended this place to our family and friends.

Amazing!

Everyone has that place that feels like home away from home. Waimanalo beach is mine. When our old place that we would rent went up for sale we were heartbroken. I am ecstatic to have found Vic's place. Perfect location. Perfect amenities, everything you could ask for. A short walk to the best beach in the world and I could literally watch the sunrise every day for the rest of my life. We have a family of 6 and we were perfectly comfortable. Having the school as a neighbor is amazing, singing and laughing mixed with the sounds of the waves. You are on a main road that creates easy access to all the local businesses. We absolutely loved our stay. Thank you so much for having us in your home and we hope to see you again soon.
