Thanks again for making our anniversary very memorable.

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 Home

We had three families stay at the Dolphin Manor, with kids ranging in ages from 1 to 7 (mine, my brother's and our parents) and it was spacious enough to accommodate us all! Kailua is quite and quaint. The beach right across from the house has nice, soft sand and the ocean was warm and beautiful. The house was fully stocked with everything you could possibly need and want. Plenty of sand toys for kids, boogie boards, beach chairs, etc. The owners were helpful and gave us tips about places to eat, hike and see. I would definitely recommend the house and we'd love to stay here again!

Hibiscus Cottage - Kailua

Our family stayed at Hibiscus Cottage in Feb of 2012. We have 2 children ages 7 & 10. We loved the location, just a quick walk to a beautiful beach that is perfect for kids. There were beach toys, boogie boards, towels and plenty of linens available as well as an outdoor shower. The washer and dryer were very convenient. We enjoyed grilling and eating outside, and the full kitchen let us eat in for most meals and save a lot of $. We will keep this property on the list for our next trip to east Oahu!

Aloha regarding our stay at the Dolphin Manor

Review Submitted: 02/10/12
My family and I (9 adults) stayed at the Dolphin Manor in January 2012. We thoroughly enjoyed staying in the quiet secure surroundings of the Dolphin Manor. We traveled extensively on the Island and it was always relaxing to come "home" to our home away from home. The well stocked kitchen and home was more than adequate for our family to be together but not crowded and stumbling all over each other. We ate out a lot but when we wanted to eat at "home" everything we needed to prepare a meal was available. We would recommend this property to anyone that wants a secure friendly atmosphere with all the amenties of home and a great beach at your front door. The property was as described in the advertising for the Dolphin Manor and the hosts could not have been any nicer

We wanted to thank the owners of Dolphin Manor for the excellent service and home they have. It was a great place to stay and my family had a wonderful time. The home is beautiful and a place to relax and enjoy Hawaii. Being away from the Honolulu was nice. It was peaceful and the beach that is located right across from the home was awesome as well. There is plenty to do in Kailua and we will definitely be back to stay with them again. My family thanks you again for allowing us to stay for a incredible 10 days.

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

Review Submitted: 11/19/11
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
Guest: barbara

Date of Stay: 08/10/11
Review Submitted: 09/03/11
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

Review Submitted: 06/30/11
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
