Accommodations: House, 6 Bedrooms + Other (See Description), 3 Baths (Sleeps 11-12)
Keywords: Private Home
Enjoy your vacation in our island paradise -a spacious, clean and lovely beachfront home located in the center of one of the world's best beaches. With 76 feet of private beach frontage and plenty of space, Kalaka is the perfect spot to enjoy the charm and aloha of Hawaii with your family or closest friends. The home was remodeled in 2001 and is fully furnished with everything to help you live, relax, and entertain in style.
The home has spectacular views of the Kailua Bay, the Mokolua Islands and the Koolau Mountains and is a home for those who truly love the beach. Nearer to the ocean than many other nearby houses, the Pacific Ocean can be seen or heard throughout the home. Many of the homes in this neighborhood are advertised beachfront but actually are down the road and through a trail to the ocean. Here you can start your morning with fresh ocean breezes and a bright red sunrise over blue tropical waters. A quick yet challenging hike to watch the sun rise from the Lanikai "pillboxes" is 5 minutes away. Whether your idea of fun is action packed ocean sports or mellower pursuits, Kailua Beach truly has something for everyone. Steps outside your door enjoy a lazy stroll on the sparkling white sand beach, a swim in the ocean, challenging water sports, or simply lounging on your own deck beneath coconut palms with a cool drink watching the it all. In the evenings, the bay results in truly spectacular sunsets as well as the moonrises for which Kailua is justly famous.
Cooking your own fresh dinner is easy on the gas grill or in the fully-equipped kitchen. In 2011 we added a granite island and upgraded the appliances which makes the kitchen even more inviting. The gas grill is easily accessed through a side entrance near the kitchen. The kitchen usually has a selection of spices and non perishables like tea and rice and we recommend checking out the kitchen before going to one of the nearby grocery stores. There are also many unexpected items such as small appliances you may not expect so look around - it is likely here. Alternatively, visit one of the many nearby bistros or take out restaurants for anything from quick bite or to a gourmet feast. There are many dining options in Kailua.
A gated driveway leads to your own private sanctuary nestled on around one-quarter acre. The home is spaciously laid out under one roof and is six bedrooms. The main living area contains a master suite with king bed and bathroom. There is also a room with a queen, a room with two twins, and a room with a single twin. The last two bedrooms are "en-suite" with a shared full bath as well as a second dining roomand living area with another TV as well as a small beverage center and wet bar. The construction of the home is such that this area is quieter as the rooms face the front yard instead of the ocean and are acoustically isolated. This is the ideal place for a power nap, a family with younger children traveling with a bigger group, teens that wish to stay up late, or older guests who want to go to bed earlier. Although the area can be entered from a separate side door, the two bedroom portion is NOT available to be rented separately and remains vacant when a small family rents the house as a late booking.
The house is clean and fully furnished. Free high speed internet is available. The full kitchen has everything needed and a selection of beach toys mats and boogie boards are available. Every bedroom has vinyl windows with 100% ventilation to let in the fresh air and ceiling fans for the few times breezes are light.
Kailua itself is a lovely town with shopping, art galleries and grocery stores all within a small area. A Whole Foods is set to open along with a Target, something that can be looked at as good or bad depending on your attitude. There are already 4 other grocery stores in town as well as a Macy's and two competing drugstore chains. Yet, Kailua is a truly small town with no hotels and a distinctly local flavor. The quiet town is located only a short drive through a mountain tunnel to the night life and action of Waikiki. The unique combination of natural beauty, the nearby amenities, a variety of world-class sporting activities and the pace and "aloha" of nearby Kailua town make renting this home much more practical and affordable than an expensive resort hotel - and much more personal and enjoyable!

Owner's Map of Kailua
My wife hails from Oahu and has always loved Kailua Beach. My first visit convinced me the place was paradise. We have three girls 7,6 and 4, and she we wanted to share the beauty and aloha of Hawaii with them on a regular basis. When we happened upon this lovely home we knew it was perfect means to introduce them to the real Hawaii. We now live in Chicago, but return often and the home is the perfect gathering spot for the entire clan. When friends borrowed the property for a stay, we derived so much pleasure from hearing of their adventures we decided to rent the home to others when not in use by us or the family in Oahu. We hope you can visit and create memories to last a lifetime!

You cannot beat this location. It really is less than 100 feet to one of the world's most exclusive beaches. The house is amazing and has everything you could possibly need. We made use of the grill, blender, microwave, dishes, coffee maker, boogie boards, beach toys, beach towels, washer and dryer, dishwasher, internet access...definitely all the comforts of being at home, but in paradise. The house was clean and well maintained. Owner answered all questions in a timely manner. The Property Manager was hospitable and very helpful. My husband and I, our 2 small children and my mother in law, stayed Oct 1-12. We also had my brother-in-law stay with us for the first week. My father and step-mother were able to join us for the first week too. Even with all these people, we had plenty of beds left to accommodate more family. The floorplan of the house is awesome. Absolutely Perfect!

You can't find a better location on Kailua Beach, The house is great, not perfect but very comfortable and well stocked. We enjoyed our stay and will go back again as soon as we can. We had 11 people and the house worked perfectly for our needs and our family who live in Kailua came and hung out with us at the beach most of the time.

What a delightful property. Tastefully decorated and fully equipped. If you stay here, check the kitchen before you go to the grocery store. It is very well stocked with almost everything you could need except perishables! The location is sooooo awesome - right in the center of Kailua Beach! We went to sleep to the sound of waves breaking on the sand and had morning coffee on the deck every day. This was a getaway for my husband and I and we totally enjoyed the experience. Granted the house is big enough for large families but it is also intimate and cozy for just two people. The manager is outstanding too. We were unable to get the wifi to connect and Pat was there within 10 minutes and took care of it. He was also most helpful with suggestions for local restaurants. We plan to return in a couple of years and will definitely stay here again if it is available.

I rented this house for my family of 10 and it was a perfect setting for us. The best things I liked about this rental were the location of being right on the beach, the large back yard, and the convenience of home features that were available to us. The sandy beach, ocean waves and water, and nice grassy back yard were perfect for our four grandchildren, whose ages were 1.5 to 4, who loved to play in the sand and water. On the third day my 1.5 year old grandson was up early in the morning in the living room with his shorts. In his baby animated gestures, he wanted help putting on his shorts. After I did so, he climbed on the couch and pointed to where he wanted to go: outside to the beach. Needless to say, he loves the sand and water. We all enjoyed sitting out on the deck relaxing, sometimes watching the sunrise, and also in the evenings. The house was clean, nicely furnished with a Hawaiian motif, and had all the amenities we needed, which made us feel like we were visiting in a friend’s home. The one thing we did have to “fix” ourselves was making the house child-proof safe. Being from Hawaii, this was a great setting for our children and grandchildren to meet our extended families who live here. The property manager was very helpful in describing the features of the house on the first day. This was my first time experience renting through VRBO and the owner was very responsive to my concerns and questions. I highly recommend this rental to any family.

We had a wonderful 10 days at this property. We would go back and miss it already. What a great location and clean house. The pictures do not due it justice we were pleasantly surprised. The beach is awesome. We had kiter boarders with us that had a wonderful time with just a short walk down the beach. The deck is the best in Kailua. The kitchen was so well stocked and we all love to cook. The yard was a big bonus with the small children with us and even a climbing tree. The place has lots of boogie boards,beach and water toys. This place has it all and right on the beach. We had long walks up and down the beach from the house. The owner is easily assessible and answered immediately.

Being from Hawaii and living overseas, I've stayed in a number of different beach houses around the islands and this one is up there with the best. The back yard and beach were the focal point of the trip, as they should be with any stay in Hawaii, and this house has both of those in prime abundance. The inside of the house is just want you want in a family friendly vacation house - clean and tidy enough to be healthy and happy, but not so overly polished that you're afraid to get a grain of sand in the house... For a big family trip, this place is hard to beat. There's always a gamble with the weather on this side of the island, but it's only a 40 minute drive and you're on Waikiki beach if you need sun and sand, but can return to the quiet of Kailua to get away from the hustle and bustle. FYI - You will need a car to get from the house to other places around the island, but the walk to Kailua Town and the main shops and restaurants is only about 20 minutes. Highly recommended!

We travelled with my parents, sister, nieces, kids and others all in tow and everyone had a wonderful time here. It was hard to get anyone motivated to do anything but stay at the house/beach all day. We've been back for 1 day and we miss it already! Can't wait to come back. Thank you so much for giving us the chance to taste a little slice of Hawaiian paradise!

I grew up in Kailua, and now live in NYC. Aware of the location of this home on the best portion of already amazing Kailua Beach I rented it January 2011 for two weeks. I had modest expectations for the home based on pictures, but the price was something I could afford and it was big enough for my extended family. I was shocked when I arrived! The place was terrific. The owner had redone the kitchen, baths, etc in May and never got around to editing the website until a week or two before we arrived. The home was spotless and right on the beach. The yard was extremely well maintained and much bigger than it looked in the pictures. And the deck........... no better spot in all of Kailua. We had wonderful days sightseeing, swimming and boogie boarding and spent each night gathered around the large granite island sharing stories of the day. There were plenty of beach chairs boogie boards as well as a random collection of beach items and toys. The front yard also has a great "climbing tree" we used to take pictures of the kids for next years holiday card. There is an outdoor shower built from a surfboard. The trade wind breeze off the ocean (which never seems to stop) cools the house nicely making AC unnecessary and was the perfect antidote to 10 hours of stale airline air. We were never hot but appreciated the shade from the trees in the yard at mid day. The home is close enough to the beach that you can see the water from the large windows and everyone commented how nice it was to fall asleep to the sound of the ocean. The bedrooms all had ceiling fans as well which we used. The bathrooms (which looked new) had marble showers with high quality fixtures with plenty of water pressure as well as a hand shower which was convenient for the little ones. The kitchen had everything needed even an unexpected large supply of spices, condiments and non perishable items. There is an outdoor gas grill on the north side of the house which got a good work out and the kitchen appliances worked great. When the large flat screen TV went out and Pat the manager quickly brought a replacement. Kailua town is small and relaxed, but had everything we needed close by. There are 4 or 5 grocery stores as well as many nice restaurants all within 5-10 min. Access to Honolulu and the rest of Oahu was easy and quick. We particularly enjoyed dinner at Lucy's and had Ninja Sushi and Korean BBQ (many places) for yum takeout! A true paradise in every way. Wish we lived closer!!

Spent a week here with friends thoroughly enjoyed the spacious accommodations and location. This house was perfect for our small group of 11 adults. I can definitely see families enjoying it too. The property couldn't have been at a better location--right on the beach! Everything that was described in the review was accurate. The only thing that should be checked out is the clothes dryer. The drying process was much longer than normal. The vent screen was cleaned before each load but I believe the exhaust pipe going up through the roof may need to be professionally cleaned (same thing happend to my neighbor recently). Loved the location on the beach and the quiet, beautiful town of Kailua. Mahalo
