Kailua Trip

Property is in excellent shape and has an amazing pool.The landlord was very responsiveThis unit IS NOT ocean front like the add states- It faces the mountains and is in the back of the house. . It is close to the Ocean however and has one deck with an ocean view.The unit is upstairs and there are 12-15 stairs you have to lug your suitcase up. Not a huge deal- but requires some effort.The neighborhood is nice. The only downside is you have to drive 2 miles to Kailua Beach park and the parking was very tight due to road construction around park.This will probably improve once construction is done.Overall a very nice place to stay

A Little Slice of Heaven!

Beautiful property with a beautiful pool and great location! Super quiet residential neighborhood and awesome owner! When you leave your unit a super short walk along the house opens to the Pacific; stunning! There’s a longer walk when you turn right along the coast. Loved everything about it 😁

Quiet Kailua Getaway

This place had everything we needed. It was clean, the shower worked great and the AC worked even better. It’s tucked away in the edge of Kailua, in a nice & quiet neighborhood. We found it fairly easy to get from our place to all the attractions we wanted to see in Kailua and Lanikai.

Delightful Ocean Breezes

We had a wonderful time in this beautiful property. We stayed in the ocean-side unit and our son and daughter-in-law stayed in the pool-view unit. It was perfect for our family. The lap pool was refreshing and lovely. The host was fabulous to communicate with and extremely helpful. We would absolutely stay again!

Peace & Quiet we were looking for

Had been attending a conference in Waikiki/Honolulu and needed a place to escape the crowds. This was exactly what we were looking for. Everything was as described and we appreciated the cleanliness of the unit and friendliness of the owners. We would definitely book again.

beautiful space

we really enjoyed our time here. it was comfortably and luxurious. the bathroom is top notch. other notable things: the shore just outside is rocky (not suitable for swimming) and we didn’t see much tide pooling besides a ton of crabs scurrying away. the pool is great, but half looks into the owners’ living room so we stuck to the other half. doing laundry requires coordination with the owner. there are two decks: a sitting area next to the entrance, the other overlooks the pool and has the mountain view, but is next to the external AC unit. the house is about a mile away from any restaurant or activity.

Nice spot

Clean and great location. Pool was beautiful, but with owner living on site and cameras everywhere around the pool it did not feel all that private. Place was mostly quite. The beach was great to walk down and had stunning ocean views. The town was cute with really good food and shopping. The area was easy to travel and it was our first time to Hawaii. Overall I recommend this property.

Studio Apt near beach

Was a nice stay with everything needed. Not a swimming beach due to lava rock but pretty to watch waves. Close to Kailua town and everything you need. I would return here. You must be able to carry suitcase up one flight of stairs.

Beautiful property and location. Was wonderful to spend some time away from all the other tourists. Property was perfect for just the two of us. Quiet, clean location close to grocery store, shops, excellent coffee, and restaurants. Would recommend staying here. Owner lives below and was very kind and accommodating!

Wonderful place to stay!

Owner sent us great instructions on how to arrive at property. Upon arrival we had our own door code (no key to worry about) the room was above the owners living quarters. They were quiet and to themselves. Room was very clean, nicely arranged and very welcoming. The only thing that wasn't accurate was we were on the inside portion of the Rental. The ocean view was obstructed by the house. However about 25 steps would take you to the ocean for the beautiful sunrises.

Convenient and comfortable

We enjoyed our stay. The owners were very welcoming and responded quickly when we had questions. We stayed in the studio on the landward side. We still had the sound of the waves and a view from the chairs and table outside our fronr door. The location is great. It is in easy striking distance of just about anything.

What a nice place!

Janet Gibbs Arrival date April 20, 2015 What a nice place! My boyfriend and I stayed here last minute--we had made no reservations ahead of our arrival date. Luckily we found this amazing rental in Kailua with spectacular location. The house is right in front of the ocean and although we stayed in the mountain view room, it had a really nice view of the ocean from one of the balconies. The other one faced the mountains/neighborhood and overlooked a fabulous pool with waterfalls. We had a blast using the pool and bbq at night--so beautiful under the stars. We'd love to come back someday.

Perfect getaway!

Our stay was so lovely! The house was exactly as described, check in and check out was easy, and our hostess was wonderful. We were provided everything we could have wanted- beach and bath towels, a beach umbrella, kitchen appliances and dishes, etc. The king bed was incredibly comfortable, and my daughter said the bed she slept in up in the loft was also comfortable. We loved the pool and close ocean access, and the nearby cove ended up being my daughter's favorite place we went swimming. I read in the previous reviews that some people had problems figuring out how the air conditioning worked, but it was very self-explanatory- there are two units, and with both on it actually got so cold that I would end up turning one off after it cooled off. The Kailua area is quiet and close to beautiful beaches, a botanical garden, and lots of attractions. If we come back to O'ahu, I would definitely stay in this unit again!

Nice loft, nice hosts

This loft is close enough to the ocean to hear the waves crashing on the nearby rocks. The hosts are pleasant and quick-thinking for solving problems. The property was extremely clean. The unit was very hot. It didn’t really have any ventilation - most of the windows don’t open - so it could feel stifling. I tried to leave the AC’s fan running (without the chiller running) just to keep air moving, but I think the hosts turned it off. Anyway, it does have an AC, so you can cool off nicely at night, but that negates the whole “hear the waves crashing on the rocks” thing. If the air could move through there, four stars. Absent that, this is a perfectly adequate rental for a stay in the Kailua area.

Wow!

The ocean crashing on the lava shelf just in front of the house is nothing short of spectacular, any time of day. We stayed in the mountain view suite, but you can still see the ocean from the balconies. The pool water is very pleasant, soft, and refreshing and you can sit under the waterfalls. The bed is firm, but comfortable, the pillows are supportive. My teenage son loved the loft and spent almost his whole time up there. Very pleasant crossbreeze and the air conditioner helped to cool down the room after the place had been locked up. But after that, we didn't need it. The walk-in closet doubles as a dressing room. The place is very light, clean, and airy. If you need it dark to be able to sleep in, bring a mask. A boogie board, snorkel and fins are provided as well as towels, beach chairs and an umbrella. The owners are very helpful and allow you to use their washer/dryer in the garage, which is great. We'll be staying there again for sure.

kailua 5/26

I was very pleased with the studio apt, its surroundings. the lap pool was beautiful, would have appreciated later time to use it. I had inquired prior to booking that my only concern was the functioning & efficiency of the Air conditioning. When I entered the unit it was stifling, like an oven. No windows/doors were open to let out the heat. One unit was not operating & the other once adequate instructions were provided did work well. We were not allowed to leave the AC on while not in the unit, which I understand. The unit did not cool down for quite sometime, long after we had hoped to go to bed. I was ready to leave upon entering an overwhelmingly hot room. If the existing AC had not worked well enough to properly cool the room, I was prepared to leave. we did contact the owner for assistance it appeared to blame user error. I am pleased that I did not have to leave. I would think that opening windows doors to rid heat prior to check in & run the AC to cool the room so that it is pleasing for first entry, would have made the experience overall great !

Relaxing, beautiful, clean, well-equipped

We stayed at the property for five nights. It’s a beautiful spot, quiet neighborhood, absolutely gorgeous view of the ocean and an amazing pool. The property is well equipped in the kitchen, and our hosts even left a bottle of wine and some macadamia nuts for us! The pool is shared by another rental unit plus the owners, although we never saw anyone else! It’s an incredible lap pool with waterfall, relatively easy to access in and out of the pool and there’s even a lift for those who can’t do the stairs in and out of the pool. It’s a two minute drive from Safeway, gas station, Starbucks, and only about 5 to 7 minutes from downtown Kailua. The beach is beautiful, the house is situated directly on the ocean, although there’s not really any access for swimming given the lava and reef. But a great place to have coffee in the morning. Halfway through this day one of the air conditioners broke in our unit, or at least seemed not to be working. Our host was incredibly responsive and helpful, trying to get it serviced and fixed as quickly as possible and providing a can. My only suggestion would be that the listings for the two rental properties, Ocean view and Mountain View, are made a little clearer differentiated on the listing website. When we arrived we weren’t sure which unit we were supposed to be in, although quickly figured it out by the shoes outside one unit and of course the combination lock working on the correct one. Thank you again for such a great stay!

Not what we expected

Arrived and there was a man inside our unit working on the small deck. He said part of the wall was removed because of “air flow issues” with the AC and the regular AC unit was not working so a smaller one was put in the wall. This gentleman was onsite several days cutting wood trim & staining it outside in the driveway. Next morning we were going to the beach and we locked the door but realized our car keys were still inside. I was not able to unlock the door using the keypad. Called owner and could only leave a message. Luckily our nephew was able to come get us. The owner did not return my call until around noon that day. He said he corrected the issue with the key pad. CONS -outside furniture is falling apart; paint peeling off. -pool is nice but once you get in the middle you can see into the owners living room thru full length windows -cameras everywhere; felt like you had no privacy for an “upscale quiet neighborhood“ -was asked to turn off AC unit when leaving, and did so. One morning we forgot to turn off AC when we left for beach but when we returned it was off meaning someone had to enter our unit to turn it off. -was told if you want to use the washer and dryer to call the owner so they could open the garage door. That area was a mess! PROS -the view -comfortable bed I have photos of the issues I mentioned and would gladly share them if requested. A 3 star rating is mainly for the beautiful view when you walk back to beach. Would not recommend this prop
