I loved how the home was complete and had everything for a family to have a very comfortable stay in a very close location to the beach. The staff was very responsive with my messages for the check in and had given us easy instructions on how to access the home. The home had even had an English "how to" folder with information for the home and surrounding area (which we added some of our adventure information as well too). I booked the Maribu Beach house on a whim and I can tell you that my family and I were not disappointed at all. The only disappointment was that we didn't stay at the home for an even longer period of time. The almost instant access to the beach, local shopping area and very quite location was pristine for a two week vacation. I would definitely recommend and stay again!

I didn't like how the parking area was a little sketchy when parking due to the traffic, other than that no compaints.

The house was cute and close to the beach. The host has provided everything needed and made the house very comfortable and convenient.

There were a lot of mosquito in the evening. It was much better during the afternoon, so I would strongly recommend not to go in and out of the house in the evening. The staircase leading to the house was not well maintained.

It’s quite convenient to drive off to other places. Cape Maeda is nearby. A private house at the top. The view is beautiful from the house. The kitchen is very well equipped compared to many other properties that we’ve stayed in. 5 stars for the kitchen equipment. Besides the normal stuff in the kitchen, it has zip lock bags, plastic bags , cling wrap, aluminium foil and BBQ things provided for. It has a hotpot for steam boat too, great for cold weather. Washer and dryer are easy to use. Laundry detergent and laundry nets are provided too. Instructions are very clear with the hosts and the file contains comprehensive and clear instructions. Thank you ☺️

You may miss the property if you are driving too fast. Slow down and you will be able to spot the name of the house. It’s along the road. Some steps to climb to reach the house; it can be challenging if you have heavy luggage or many bags.

From the outside (from the road) it doesn’t look like much but it’s a hidden gem. Once you walk up the walkway the yard was self-contained and allowed our dog to roam. It was very tidy and full of thoughtful amenities.

We’re American so we had 3-pronged plugs (ground) so all the outlets were 2 pronged. But, we understand so we brought our own adapters.

+ welcoming host + big fridge, washing machine and dryer + shower pressure

- floor and sofa could be a little cleaner - mosquitoes (but this seems very common in that area of Okinawa)

We felt like we were invited into someone’s home. Everything that you could need was there.

It needs some maintenance especially to the small deck.

the location and the house was pretty

the beds were kind of stiff

A nice beach is located just a few meters from the property across the street. Diving/snorkeling/kayaking equipment can be rented at the adjacent beach, just a couple minutes by foot. The apartment is well equipped with new kitchen utensils (big fridge, soaps, ...), washer, dryer and ACs. Parking spots are available directly in front of the apartment.

The apartment has a distinct animal smell, which takes some getting used to. In the evenings the (loud motorcycle) traffic can be heard since the apartment is sandwiched between two well frequented roads. Some of the curtains looked like they had some mold on them.

Tiny house though, has basically everything you need, home-like feel. Own transport is recommended if you stay here.

1) Aircons - lots of pieces of black particles presumably falling out of the aircons (sitting room), with one emitting bad odour (bedroom) when set to heat mode. Cleaning is badly needed. 2) The pillows too small for me, not so soft & comfy. 3) The warming carpet (for winter) at the sitting room not functioning properly ? Not warm throughout.
