Neighborhood Overview: If you're looking for a home that provides convenient, easy access to tons of amenities--as well as a laid-back, active lifestyle--look no further than Gorgeous Garden Retreat in Kaimuki. Hip and quaint Kaimuki is conveniently located close to all of Honolulu's highlights. Located just a hop, skip, and jump away from Waikiki, yet a world apart in terms of character and charm, Kaimuki is an eclectic neighborhood. Kaimuki (pronounced ky-moo-kee) is a historic town, remaining one of the oldest communities on Oahu, Hawaii. The casual walking district of Kaimuki is filled with niche shops, specialty boutiques and unique award-winning eateries dotting its main thoroughfare of Waialae Avenue. Nestled behind Diamond Head Crater, this desirable neighborhood offers proximity to great restaurants, beaches, Waikiki, yoga studios, farmer's markets, unique boutiques and Honolulu's downtown business district--not to mention loads of active, outdoor pursuits right at your doorstep.

Reviewer: Angelina And Preston
Comments: Highly recommend this home to families visiting Honolulu! Me and my family of 6 (5 adults and 2 children) fit comfortably into Natalie's place. The home is as beautiful as described and photographed. Very well and tastefully decorated in Hawaiian theme. The rooms are big esp the rooms with the king beds. The property is gorgeous. Its a little oasis in the middle of a suburban street. Really loved all the nature surrounding the home, the lovely front patio and driveway with the buddha statues and flowers. The showers were fully equipped with towels, shampoo and conditioner. There were plenty of extra towels and sheets. The rooms were impeccably clean. Great wi-fi which was very fast. Ditto loved the TV which we could watch Netflix on. The kitchen was big enough to have breakfast or dinner together. There were all the appliances necessary in the kitchen including a coffee maker, rice cooker, toaster, etc. Also loved having a washer and dryer in the home to do our laundry. Natalie was an excellent host who checked us in and gave us a wonderful welcome of treats such as champagne, banana bread and excellent fruit. She even showed me where to get excellent poke down the street at Tamura's (highly recommend this place to others who visit!) These little touches were unique and greatly appreciated. The location is about 10-15 min from Waikiki via car but also 5-10 min away from key places for a family such as Foodland, Whole Foods, Long Drugs, Leonard's Bakery, etc. Great location for families like us who wanted to eat out and also cook. Parking was provided and we did not have any problem fitting 2 cars on the property. I would highly recommend this home while visiting Honolulu. Its a great price and value for families and groups! You won't regret booking this place!

Comments: Loved this home and its patio. It was a perfect stay for a party of 7. The house pretty much had everything we needed and I have to point out that there was a water filter pitcher in the fridge. *Two thumbs up* If I ever do go back to Oahu with family and friends, this is where I would like to stay again.

Reviewer: Quincy
Comments: I rented Natalie’s home for my family who was visiting us from the mainland. Natalie was an exceptional host from the beginning. She allowed my wife and me to check-in early so we could place welcome bags in the room for our family. The home was as advertised, the rooms were great and the house was in a great location. My family really enjoyed their stay. Thank you Natalie Quincy & Phuong

Reviewer: Kara
Comments: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Natalie’s. She is a thoughtful host who is quick to respond to queries. The house is in a good location with a short walk to some great cafes or a 10min drive to Waikiki beach. The house it’s self has everything you could need. Highly recommend for families.

Reviewer: Mason
Comments: Natalie’s place suited us perfectly! I was in Honolulu for work and I had a mixed gender crew of 3 with me. Since we are all independent adults we need privacy as well as a nice public area to socialize in. Although the place is not huge, it has 4 very nice private bedrooms, an a lovey open plan living, dining and kitchen area. While many Airbnb’s are getting kind of sterile and impersonal, Natalie’s place was the opposite. It felt warm and comfortable, with a lot of very nice hand carved furniture and personal touches. Natalie was a perfect host. Welcoming and very responsive to any issues or suggestions we had. A very pleasant stay all around.

Comments: Could not have asked for a better place to spend 7 days with my family.. Size and location were perfect and all the great touches. Would recommend this place to everyone and would totally stay with Natalie again...

Reviewer: Shelley
Comments: Very nice accommodation which suited us perfectly. Well equipped kitchen, good sized bedrooms and bathrooms. Convenient location. My favourite part of the house was the lounge as you could open up the bi-fold doors to the lanai and let the breeze through and take in the garden. Natalie was super helpful. It’s a 10 out of 10 from me.

Reviewer: Michael
Comments: Fantastic place to stay for a family with children. Definitely in a quiet neighborhood which is a positive in our book. The living space itself was nicely furnished with doors in the living room that opened to a lovely patio. We appreciated the well equipped kitchen and the beach supplies during our stay. Greg and Keana also accommodated an earlier check in and Keana was kind enough to provide lots of nice children's toys, high chair, changing table, etc. We should have left our travel crib at home given how nice everything was. Definitely a nice place to stay for a visit to Oahu.
