Top Makapu‘u Lighthouse Hotel Reviews

Less than 1 min walk to Kailua Beach- NUC#1990/NUC-1760

10/10 Excellent

"Windward side will always be my favorite and this fun little hideaway feels secluded but it’s not! Within walking distance to restaurants and shops, but the best part is the most awesome beach right in front of you. Bring your snorkels and look for turtles we saw a lot of them."

Kailua Oceanfront-60' Lap Pool - Upscale Quiet Neighborhood - Legal

10/10 Excellent

"The place and location are excellent for Kailua beach and groceries. One thing to note is that there are two units, one faces the ocean and one faces the back of the property with a view of the neighboring houses, street and pool (we were in the latter). Street is quiet as it is a cul de sac. Also of note is that this is a very authentic neighborhood experience— with construction noises and dogs barking and landscaping staff both in the property and neighboring houses. There are only very quiet cats on the property. The noise was not excessive for us, but a major roof renovation is underway so visitors may want to keep that in mind. The kitchen is well equipped— lots of opportunity for cooking and stocked for coffee and tea. We were welcomed with a bottle of wine (so nice!), flowers, and lovely toiletries. Amply supplied with towels. Well lit and a lovely lanai on both sides for eating and relaxing. Shower is great. Access to the loft is via a ladder — so be sure you are very spry if you’re planning to spend anytime up there. Bring eye shades if you are sensitive to light.wonderful place!mahalo for having us!"

Private Beachfront Rental

8/10 Good

"We had a really nice stay at this property. Really enjoyed long walks on the beautiful beach watching the sunrise. No air, and since the unit is at the very back of the house furthest from the beach, it can be a little too warm in the late afternoon. Nicely equipped including beach chairs, beach towels, and access to the beachside chairs and table shown in the photo."

Center of Kailua Bay! Licensed Beach Front Rental #1990/NUC-1774,1775

10/10 Excellent

"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A dream of our ours since the day we retired - the entire family together in a beautiful non-stress environment - Ohana! Delicious meals and laughter and togetherness come so rarely in the busy lives we all lead -- Kailuana was the perfect setting. A big Mahalo! to Private Homes Hawai'i for making this dream a reality. Throughout the booking process they were so helpful and understanding. Mahalo Barbea, Steven and Patty for reaching out to help us better prepare for this once in a lifetime family vacation. Mahalo!"

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Super clean and well supplied with amenities, eg beach chairs, umbrellas, towels, etc. Pretty much all we needed. Steps to the sand and water. Alia was available and responsive to our needs - when the microwave crashed, we had a replacement in a couple hours. She made a trip to deliver a new Brita filter even tho I offered to get one."

La Bella's Bed and Breakfast-Nai’a Suite-Walk to beach-In Kailua (O’ahu)

Kailua Kai/Beach Front Licensed Rental #1990/NUC-1780

10/10 Excellent

"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our family’s final farewell to summer and the stay was wonderful! The view from the patio overlooking beautiful green grass, nicely trimmed hedges, palm trees and the ocean was amazing. Home had all beach equipment needed to enjoy the quick walk across the lawn to beach. Home was clean, well equipped kitchen to cook and grill, beds were all comfortable, bathrooms well stocked, and very comfortable living room areas for family to gather and talk about the day. Lastly, appreciated the quick response to my questions and warm welcome from Private Homes! We plan on returning!"

Less than a one minute walk to Kailua Beach, Pool, Bikes, BBQ, A/C, and more

10/10 Excellent

"We had the absolute best time here!! The rental is clean with everything you need to be comfortable. I love the little kitchenette, so that we could make food and not have to eat out every meal. The location was exactly what we were looking for! It was just a quick 1-2 min walk to the beach to watch the sunrise. Lanakai beach is just a few minutes away by car. Kailua is such a cute area….central to many small local shops. I love supporting local! Our host, Zak, was super nice and accommodating of our needs. Actually, all the people we met were super friendly and welcoming. This really was the best trip!"
