Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Steve and I lived in Colorado for 10 years and had our first child, Sharly. She was 3 months premature and weighed in at a whopping 1 pound!! When she turned one, she weighed almost 10 pounds. Her doctor said that she would grow if we moved her to a warmer climate.. that it was difficult for her to maintain a 98.6 degree body temperature without burning so many calories. So, we moved to Hawaii.. with $500 in the bank and our little daughter. That was in December, 1979. And here we are 30 years later. Sharly has since married, given birth to our grandaughter, Kaylee, and has moved back to Colorado. There's more to the story, so come and stay with us to hear the rest. We love our guests and have many repeat visitors to our lovely rentals.
Why the Owner Chose Kailua
We bought our house before it became a vacation rental. We owned a small travel agency and people were always asking if there was anywhere to stay other than Waikiki. So we decided to rent out some rooms in our home to accommodate our clients and to make a little extra money. There were no hotels in our town and the beach was just gorgeous. Little did we know that Kailua would become such a wonderful vacation destination.
The Unique Benefits of this House
You will love the hospitality and service we provide our guests. The beach is absolutely gorgeous and the property is beautifully maintained and spotless. Steve's gardens are breathtaking and the pool is fully tiled and quite large. You can walk to the beach, through Kailua Beach Park, in less than 2 minutes and watch the moon rise over the ocean. This is especially gorgeous during the full moon. You can also see the sun rise over the ocean each morning. We truly live in Paradise and wish to share the experience with our guests....

Great family vacation home

The Dolphin Manor was a great place for the entire family for ages ranging from 9 to 69. We were able to save money by cooking all our meals at the house. We had personal family activities to attend plus we relaxed on the beach. It was great! The house was as described, clean and well maintained and was close to shopping as well as the beach.

Excellent location with lots of space. Very comfortable beds. Quiet setting even with a very busy street running by. Nearness to the beach was a wonderful asset. Very friendly and helpful owners. Lovely community and easy to get around in. Convenient to shopping and services. Polynesian Culture Center and North Shore are must sees. Would not hesitate to stay here again or refer to others.

October in Kailua

We took my mother-in-law to Oahu for her 75th birthday, and stayed at the Plumeria Cottage. It was the perfect size for three adults and two kids, and the location was fabulous -- just a 2 minute walk to Kailua beach, and easy driving distance to Lanikai and other wonderful beaches, including Hanauma Bay. The cottage was very comfortable, and we enjoyed eating our breakfast out on the deck every morning. Highly recommend for a casual, family-oriented vacation!

Perfect Beach Vacation Rental/Beautifully appointed

This beautiful, spacious, clean vacation home offers everything a family (or travelling couples) may desire. The listing photos were accurate but could not begin to show the bright and excellent furnishings, the real Hawaiian ambiance that runs throughout both floors. From first arriving and seeing the Kailua Ocean Beach right in front of us, the unique and stunning dolphin gate, the large and inviting pool surrounded by palm and flowering trees (maintained at all times by owners), we knew we were going to have an exceptional few weeks in a "home away from home". Where should I begin? The ride there from the airport is so scenic and crossing the pali is a great way to be welcomed to Oahu. Residing in Kailua is SO MUCH better than anything in Waikiki for it not only gives you a peaceful environment, but you are closer to travel to most anything one would want to visit on the entire Island. (AND, if you need to visit in Waikiki or downtown it's a fun day excursion). The house itself has plenty of parking space, very comfortable couches, chairs, tables, AND mattresses...(flat screen TV's thruout)..all of the linens and towels are new and luxusrious ....especially the Master Bedroom and Bath, with a jacuzzi, wide screen TV, private balcony for morning coffee, separate studio to read in.....the A/C works perfectly (we had consistent 88 degree days!).....the Washer/Dryer on the 2nd floor was especially convenient. But our favorite touches were the paintings and pictures throughout the home that were of the smaller islands off-shore on our very beach. We rented two kayaks for the time we were there and our family got to know the surrounding islands well. One special note to those who like to cook....the kitchen is well stocked with very new appliances needed and the dishes, glasses and silverware etc. are not just stock "restaurant", but lovely crockery and one had the feeling that the owners trusted us to be careful with their good pieces. We ate together a lot and it was great to have beautiful bowls ETC. to feel elegant with. The owners couldn't have been more helpful with answering ANY questions or guiding us to the best places ( the famous BUZZ's Steak house is two blocks away for a quick nite out) We also ate at HaleEva Joe's in Kaneohe (recommended by owners) and found it to be among the best restaurants in Oahu. .We not only would recommend this rental to friends or family, but intend to return ourselves. MAHALO for The Dolphin Manor!!

Paradise X 2 = Wonderful Vacation

Paradise was the Island of Oahu, the community of Kailau; multiplied by our accomodations at Dolphin Manor. It is all it is advertised to be. We were just a walk thru the park, to a beautiful local beach scene, we had a lovely house, well maintained pool, and plenty of guest ammenities, with easy to understand welcome guide and instructions. We felt at home, we highly recommend Dolphin Manor and we will be back.

I travelled with my 2 young grandsons and their parents. This was a perfect location and the home is lovely. Well stocked, even toys for the beach and pool. Everything is well maintained and it's spacious. The only request would be to have the grill cleaned between guests. This was just a great week

We have been visiting and renting homes in Kailua for over 15 years. This house was the best experience we have ever had! This year our family included a multi generational group of 9, ages 3 to 73. The location across from the beach park is a personal favorite of mine and easily accessible to all. We could easily spilt up, some could go hiking to Lani Kai by bike, others walk to the general store & others to the beach. The house was spacious & open. The pool was great for all ages. Everyone was so impressed with how comfortable all the beds were. If we need a house this big again, I hope it's available! Thanks so much for a great stay.

Our stay at Dolphin Manor exceeded our expectations! The location directly across from oceanfront Kailua Park was ideal and just a block away was the excellent Buzz's Steak House and local market. Just a bit further are several larger grocery stores, a book store, coffee and gift shops. The swimming pool at the house is lovely and well maintained and the kitchen was fantastic to cook in! Nice to have the two sets of washer/dryers and the a/c and fans worked out great. Would highly recommend to anyone seeking a beautiful house on Oahu!

Every aspect of our stay at Dolphin Manor was phenomenal. Starting with Steve and Susie Bryson. We had a few unique situations (such as a large family group) that they took in stride and accomodated our needs without blinking an eye! They were great hosts and only a phone call away. The property is beautiful, modern, very clean and well-maintained. We felt totally safe and secure. Hawaii is our most preferred travel destination, and we have been to all of the islands. But any future visits to Oahu will find us lodging in Kailua. Perfect beaches, water, locale, area attractions, and central to any direction you wish to go on the island. Away from the "busy-ness" of Honolulu. All of the info and photos given us about Dolphin Manor proved to be very accurate portrayals of reality. It is simply a great facility. If I were to try to find a fault with it, I would have to say that the water in the pool was uncomfortably cool. We were there over New Years, and between two very unseasonal weather fronts, leaving the pool a bit on the chilly side. In fact, it took a good dose of courage to get in it!!! Truly, we have ZERO COMPLAINTS! When the time comes to return to Oahu, we hope that Do;phin Manor is available, and that Steve and Susie are still running the show. Mahalo. . . We had a great time.
