  • Feb 06, 2025 Awesome House In the Mountains!! Absolutely spectacular house for my wife, kids and grandkids to make spectacular memories!! I would recommend this to anyone looking for a great place to stay! Rob M
  • Oct 25, 2022 An Unbelievable Treehouse Setting I searched for months to find that perfect house to celebrate my 70th year of life with different family and friends each week. Found this house and was not disappointed, neither were any of my guest. It was spacious, sensibly divided up with hangout spaces located throughout, and set up for entertaining as well as the enjoyment of all occupants. It was like being up in a treehouse with views of downtown made extra special each Friday evenings with direct sight lines of the fireworks. Each bedroom has an en-suite, and all but one of the 5 had an attached outdoor lanai area. And there were 2 half baths. Bedroom location didn’t really matter since there is an elevator, and the 2 laundry areas made that chore painless. There are a couple of hidden areas, and ample parking spaces for multiple vehicles. Even though you feel far removed from life’s hustle and bustle, you’re only about 15-20 minutes from downtown Honolulu, What more could you ask for? How about a housekeeper and a handyman who were attentive to every concerns we had. What a great find! And a good time was had by all. Gwen Y
  • Jul 26, 2022 Unique location with amazing views We (two families) recently stayed at this house for a month. The pictures definitely reflect the house. Very spacious and lots of lights during the day. Thoughtful architecture. We loved waking up every morning to the birds and the view and enjoying drinks outside in the evening. Host provided kitchen and bathroom amenities. We made most of our meals in the kitchen and enjoyed eating around the bar. The stove took a little time getting used to, but worked fine. There were no extra kitchen appliances besides the coffee maker. Could have used a rice cooker. Rooms were comfortable and came with their own a/c units. The kids basically had their own space in the lower area. I do wish there was a tv in the lower living room, but since there was one in the bedroom, the kids hung out there. The location worked out really well for us since we were visiting family in town, shopping, and going to the beach. But we also could walk down to Makiki Valley State Recreation Area or quick drive up to some of the upper hiking trails. One thing to note about the location is that the driveway does go downhill and can become really slick due to the trees and rain. So if possible, I'd recommend people to have an all wheel drive vehicle. But we made it work with our minivan. Since we stayed for a month, myself and another were working. The internet worked perfect and never had any issues. We even had an office to work out of, but many of the rooms had desks too. If we had any issues, I reached out to the maintenance guy, Randall, and he responded quickly. We was also very polite when he'd come around the do yard work or clear the driveway. The host was responsive to any questions or concerns. If you're looking for a change from the beach, I totally recommend this house. It exceed our expectations and made for a very memorable trip. Mahalo and a hui hou kākou. hui hou. Jessica H
  • Feb 28, 2022 Beautiful Views and Location Extremely beautiful property, owners took care of us with any requests or issues reported to the management company. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The only thing that would have made it better was a five star bed to go along with the five star property. All bedrooms have their own A/C and bathrooms. The bar top was wonderful to have all the guests join around during meals. The internet worked great as I worked there remotely. It’s a gem, book it if your considering it. You will need a rental car for the location. Roy H

  • Mar 15, 2020 Tantalus House is a Honolulu Gem We thoroughly enjoyed our month-long stay at this interesting and unique property. The views of downtown Honolulu from the property's lanai make it easy to understand why Tantalus Drive is an iconic address. The property care taker was friendly, helpful and responsive when needed. Overall, our experience at this property was positive. Mahalo nui for allowing us to enjoy your great property. Scott S
  • Jul 11, 2019 What an amazing view! We had a super week, it rained for 4 days but the house was interesting and a lot of fun!!! We enjoyed every moment. We had a storm outage, but the owner took care of getting everything up and running quickly. They respond super fast and wonderful to deal with. Clifford G
