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

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay in Kailua! The location was perfect, just a short distance from the beach and close to everything we needed. We really appreciated having plenty of beach gear available to borrow, which made our beach days so easy and convenient. The pool was definitely a highlight and a favorite spot to relax and enjoy the beautiful Hawaii weather! Such a great place to stay while enjoying everything Kailua has to offer. We would happily stay here again!"

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: First time to Oahu and Kailua so was a little anxious on this property but it turned out perfect in all regards. Single story with additional cottage and space to spread out. AC works great in all rooms and in the cottage. I am already scheming to come back next summer. The outdoor deck is very convenient from the house with gorgeous view. Next time will request a covering over the deck as hot during the day. But it does get windy here so would need to be responsible for its use if provided."

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!"
