Please note: As desirable as this property may be due to it's charm and remarkable location, this is not a hotel. We keep the property as clean and secure as possible but please understand that this home is located on the beach in a natural, tropical environment. Although we have an exterminator on call, guests may encounter insects as we do not spray insecticides rampantly the way the hotels do. If you love the sounds of the ocean and the beauty of the great outdoors, you won't find any place better! But if you prefer a climate-controlled, manicured, hotel-like environment, this may not be the place for you.

Paradise
Coming from New York City, it took me a minute to adjust to the indoor/outdoor living, but this was a perfect place for our family to gather for winter break, including grandparents and kids. Hearing the sounds of nature and the ocean at night was magical, and being able to walk down to the beach during the day was great. Leilani was a great host, responded quickly to our many questions which made it easy for us to settle in. The natural beauty surrounding the property is stunning, and we loved the easy access to Beach 69 and Hapuna Beach. We loved our stay at the Treadwell House!

Fabulous family trip
We stayed with my 3 sons and their families. This house is in an amazing location. You see the ocean from the house but are set back far enough that you don’t see the beach goers nor do they see you. The main living area is open spacious and comfortable. The bedrooms are basic and comfortable as are the bathrooms. If you need marble countertops and high end fixtures this is not the place for you. The house has everything needed for a comfortable stay. Snorkeling was wonderful, sunsets were wonderful. The beach is beautiful. We had a wonderful stay.

This property was perfect for my large family and the location right on the beach is spectacular. We would certainly stay here again. The appliances are quite old and could use a refresh, but otherwise very well equipped for our needs.

We love it because it is rustic but very comfortable and right On the beach. They got another small refrigerator which was very helpful. The beds and linens are comfortable.

Relax and Restore
This was my second time being blessed to stay at this amazing property. I can't say enough good things about the property and the management. The location can't be beat. The house is like camp for architects -- it is low key and focused on the outdoors, yet the beautiful architectural details make it feel luxe. Thank you Leilani for being available before and during our trip to make sure we had everything we needed to unplug. We hope to visit again soon!

Steps to beach
Location can’t be beat- sandy, shaded beach steps away. Best snorkeling of our trip right outside our door. Saw manta rays one morning while kayaking! Indoor-outdoor living, feels like camping but with amenities. Tons of birds, lizards, nature. Very close to resorts for a dose of that if you want. Otherwise, secluded and natural.

Idyllic beach home
We feel so fortunate that we were able to stay with our family in this lovely home. It is perfect for a large family - plenty of bedrooms, baths and a wonderful large table for meals. The property is large so there is plenty of personal space as well as communal. Just a few steps to the beach but shielded by vegetation for privacy. We enjoyed every minute. We enjoyed some of the local restauarants - A Bays and Manta in Waikoloa, Hawaiian Style Cafe in Waimea, fish tacos at Hapuna Beach, the amazing malasada truck just near our property - but we also enjoyed eating at the house - fresh poke from food land - fresh fish - grilled steaks and kalbi ribs. Everything we needed was there for us to use - appliances, a grill, beach chairs, beach towels , a place to hang our wet swim suits, washer and dryer along with detergent. Like home - but better! Thank you for wonderful hospitality and loads of memories.

Great location, awesome beach!
The house was wonderfully well stocked, conveniently located, with plenty of room for our extended family. The property managers are attentive and helpful. The yard and the beach access are amazing! We swam, snorkeled, cooked up a storm, and generally had a perfect vacation!

Great location, perfect for indoor outdoor vacation living
This was the perfect place for an extended family to stay. Thanks to the 2 Papayas crew for making our stay easy and comfortable. The house is very open, and has a great rustic feel to it. We would and plan to come back.

The Perfect Vacation Home
Treadwell House worked perfectly for our family of 10 plus a baby! The house accommodated all our needs with a well-supplied kitchen, beach gear, ample towels and thoughtful touches like a warm outdoor shower. The beautiful beach is literally steps away and was great for swimming and snorkeling.

Glamping on the Beach
Glamor camping - glamping! We rented 4 bedrooms which came with 3 full baths. This was exactly what we were looking for! Perfectly set right on the beach but very private. No need to pack for your day at the beach - you re there! Nothing more lovely than morning coffee with your toes in the sand. We loved grilling dinner on the beach. Loved the coziness the trees on the beach created with nooks to hang out in. Snorkeled with turtles from out front. Had some great waves on a few days for boogie boarding. Two walls of the great room /kitchen open up and you feel like you are outdoors. We ate most of our meals on the covered front porch. Perfect temperatures day and night. The beds were super comfortable with plenty of pillows and fans in each room. We stayed for 8 days and didn't even use all the bath or beach towels provided. We love to cook - actually packed my own knives but didn't need to - there was not a pot, pan, bowl or knife we lacked. We have rented many vacation houses and it was so lovely to have soap, laundry soap, dishwasher soap, paper towels, sunscreen, bug spray and many spices, etc already there. The rental company, 2papayas was wonderful. We had a couple of questions while we were there and even on a Sunday morning we were answered immediately! We are already planning our next trip and may even bring more folks along to use the 5th bedroom suite. Loved the architecture and the beautifully thought out design. Thank you Treadwell owners and 2Papayas.

Treadwell is Beach House Heaven
My husband and 6 our our friends stayed at Treadwell for our wedding week. Having so much space, the outdoor concept, being steps from the beach, and the awesome amenities made our stay as good as it gets. We wanted for nothing during our stay at the Treadwell. All the bedding, towels, kitchen tools were fantastic and the house is set up to handle large groups really well. We never felt cramped. The first group in our party didn't arrive until the wee hours of the night and the property managers were so accommodating and understanding. We loved waking up to the sounds of birds, having coffee on the beach in the morning, and coming back from exploring to hit the beach. Staying at Treadwell allows you to double or triple your beach time! The sunsets are spectacular as is the snorkeling. I can't say it enough. Stay at the Treadwell! You will love it!

Great Beach House next to Fabulous Beach!
Wonderful place to get away from it all and relax with family and friends in a lovely, comfortable, private, open-to-the-breezes house just steps away from a glorious golden-white-sand beach offering generous shady areas as well as sun, small waves, gentle slope and interesting coral reef snorkeling. The house is a great comfy beach house, with a well-stocked kitchen open to the living room and lanai overlooking the keawe trees and ocean, with convenient outdoor hot water shower for those sandy after-beach moments. We filled the place, and the studio in the trees was especially delightful! It was the absolute best place for our family gathering, and the wonderful women at 2 Papaya were great, making sure all went well with much aloha. We have rented with them before, we will again, they are the best!!!

Loved it!
We stayed at this property in March of 2013 and after staying at a more upscale vacation rental home on Kauai in 2014, I felt prompted to come back and write a review about Treadwell and how much we enjoyed our stay. We will definitely be back! We loved the atmosphere of this property, the beach and dealing with 2 Papaya's! This is not a fancy property but it's beachy, authentic and relaxing. During our vacation this year we kept saying how much we missed the Treadwell experience.

Perfect for our extended family
Our extended family stayed here over Christmas, and we absolutely loved it. Mary was wonderful to work with, and so hospitable. We didn’t need her for anything during the week, because she had made sure we had everything we needed before we arrived. Plenty of bath towels, beach towels and beach chairs. The kitchen was well equipped, and the beds super comfy. We loved the open style of the house, and especially being only steps from such a great beach. Everything was perfect!

Great retreat for extended family
The house was great for our extended family gathering. There was privacy for each couple yet wonderful open gathering space in the kitchen and deck area. The cottage worked well for the parents with a toddler as it provided a respite from the rest of the household. Some of the family members would have preferred an option of air conditioning in the bedrooms, but most of us loved the open air beach house setting. And having a beautiful sand beach for swimming and snorkeling just steps from the house was paradise!
