Rated #1 in Kailua on Tripadvisor! Step back in time and soak up a peaceful, private, quintessential Hawaiian vacation experience.
The Hula Breeze is a licensed vacation rental located on a secluded road, only a few short blocks from Kailua beach and minutes from Lanikai Beach. Nestled among tropical gardens, we have taken care to create a refuge of comfort that is designed to meet all your needs.
The Pineapple Suite is spacious and clean. It has a kitchenette with a full size refrigerator, sink, microwave, hot-plate dishes and cutlery. We also offer a BBQ.
We provide you with fresh local fruit and coffee for your first morning, but you may want to stock up on fresh produce at the local farmers market (Thursday mornings from 9 am -10 am) just a 5 minute walk from us.
You will be lulled to sleep by the gentle tropical breeze. You will awaken refreshed after sleeping between luxurious sheets of 400 thread count. After savoring a breakfast of local fruit and Kona coffee, enjoy sitting by the sparkling pool on the lanai while listening to exotic bird songs.
Help yourself to a boogie board, beach chair and towel and take a seven minute stroll through a residential neighborhood, protected from traffic and crowds, as you make your way to Kailua Beach.
Rated among one of the best beaches in the US, here you will be welcomed by warm ocean breezes, turquoise blue waters and white sand that is soft and warm. Remember how it felt to be a carefree kid on summer break? Here you can relive those memories.
Go ahead and rent a kayak, surf board, paddle board, bike, kite board or windsurfing gear…all just 10 minutes from your guest suite. The ocean is your playground. Shopping, tennis and golf are also nearby!
Stop off at the famous Kalapawai Market where they can make you a delicious deli sandwich for a picnic lunch or serve up a latte just the way you like it.
Once you return to your home away from home at the Hula Breeze, rinse off in the outdoor shower, hang your wet things out to dry and perhaps take a nice nap before heading out to the charming town of Kailua. You’ll be surprised to find many restaurants to choose from in all price ranges.
You will be eager to return to your spacious suite where you may lounge on your comfy bed and perhaps enjoy some pineapple/coconut ice cream….sure to give you the sweetest of dreams.
If you choose to venture out to explore, Kailua is the perfect get-anywhere location. The island of Oahu is only 40 miles tip-to-tip, so you can explore it all quite easily. Honolulu and Waikiki are just a half-hour away. As your on-site hosts, we will help you discover and enjoy our beautiful island.
Sven and Allison live on site and we are happy to help you with any questions and to provide you with our local knowledge. We have a dog on-site...Ellie. She is a very friendly Bernese Mt. dog who is wondering how she ended up in Hawaii.
We welcome you to come stay at the Hula Breeze and enjoy all the wonderful delights that Hawaii and Kailua have to offer!

If you are looking for a cheery cottage-like accommodation to unwind in and holiday from, look no further. We spent 10 relaxing days exploring all of Oahu from The Hula Breeze and were so pleased to always return at the end of the day to our cozy, private room in wonderful Kailua. The Pineapple suite was charming, comfortable and clean with lots of windows and direct access to either the front yard or back yard where a pool and our private garden sitting area was. Every night we slept soundly with all windows open so we could enjoy the fresh air, the chirping crickets in the late evening and the songs of the tropical birds that visited the lush gardens in the morning..we never felt unsafe; a very different experience from a previous stay in Honolulu! As we had rented a vehicle for our island travels, we did appreciate the "suite driveway"/ parking offered at this ground level walk-in accommodation; it was truly a bonus to not have to lug (hey we are on holiday!) all of our daily gear/groceries too far. There is a shared washer and dryer onsite and depending on your length of stay, fresh linens are available. There is no daily room or food service and we new that coming in..which suited us fine. The Hula Breeze has their suites all professionally cleaned between guests by a local company with very friendly staff, so if you need anything, speak up and they and the owners will be happy to help you. This windward location of Oahu is exceptionally beautiful and quiet. We enjoyed the friendly neighborhood and the under 10 minute stroll to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. We walked and walked, the 3mile crescent shaped Kailua beach stretch every day; the fine clean golden sand ,and blue green-ocean colors are absolutely beyond belief! So were the lack of any crowds...this is no Waikiki ! There are a variety of walks/hikes in the area too, which offer some amazing scenery of the surrounding area. The town center of Kailua, just moments away, is well equipped and offers plenty of choices for shopping and dining. Our Hula Breeze hosts,Allison and Sven (and their friendly dogs) were so very warm and welcoming during our stay in their lovely Hawaiian home and community. We would absolutely stay at the Hula Breeze again and highly recommend booking early with these folks ... their accommodation, and Aloha hospitality that they offer is rated #1 by many travelers for good reason! Thanks Allison and Sven for sharing your piece of paradise with us all!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, people with disabilities, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, girls getaway, sightseeing.
Owner response: It was a delight to have you stay with us. Thank you for the kind words and come back to see us soon! Warm Regards, Allison

We decided to stay here because it was "out of the city" and away from the hussle and bustle of Honolulu. We spent 4 nights here and loved every minute of it. If you want peace and quiet this is the place to stay. Allison and Sven are lovely, the neighbourhood welcoming and the beach is just a short walk away. If Hawaii wasn't so far away we'd be here every year. If you love to have air conditioning all the time, this is not the place for as there is no AC.Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

I spent a wonderful week in the Pineapple Suite at the Hula Breeze. Allison and Sven are the perfect hosts, so warm and friendly. The property is beautiful and private, so peaceful. The property is located just a short walk to the beach, the Kalapawai Market and to town. The beach is amazing for long walks, so beautiful with not a high rise building in site, just perfect. Allison had great recommendations for places to hike, dine and to visit . . would not have found them in a travel book. Thank you Allison I have been to Hawaii a number of times but have never returned so relaxed, thanks to Allison, Sven and the Hula Breeze.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, people with disabilities, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, sightseeing.

Thank you Allison and Sven for 4 relaxing nights at Hula Breeze. Loved the village of Kailua, the beaches, shops and restaurants. Had a great time snorkeling --- saw lots of fish, sea turtles and beautiful reef. It was the perfect beginning to our Hawaiian adventure. Hope to come back to stay again.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, romantic getaway, sightseeing.
Owner response: Aloha! We so enjoyed having you stay with us....your package is on it's way. Thanks for the kind words.... Warm Regards, Allison

We really enjoyed our stay in Hawaii. If you want to get away from the night life of Honolulu, the Hula Breeze is the place. Allison and Sven are very helpfull if you need to and they give you all the privacy you need. If you don't mind having dogs around, it's the place. Ringo was part of our stay there. Thanks again.Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

Great place to stay. The accomodation is spacious, clean, bright and comfortable. Everything thoughtfully supplied for a carefree holiday. Helpful friendly hosts and nice neighborhood. Close to beach and shopping centre, we loved the healthy foods in Down To Earth health shop. We would love to stay there again when next visiting Kailua.Recommended for: Romantic getaway.

Our stay at the pineapple suite was beyond our expectations. Sven and Allison are very gracious hosts and love helping you plan things for the day, give directions to locations and tips on where to eat and things to see. The suite was the perfect size and was very comfortable. The beach was within walking distance and was beautiful and coming home after that to have a cocktail by the pool and listen to the birds and watch the lizards was a perfect day. There are lots of restaurants and little shops in the area within walking distance and hiking trails and waterfalls very close as well, but by car. The house is on a dead end road in a quiet residential area so it is very peaceful and relaxing. I would recommend this place to anyone and we are already planning a return trip!Recommended for: Tourists without a car, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

We love our stay at the Hula Breeze! Such a peaceful, quiet neighborhood; we can't imagine staying in one of those massive and busy hotels. It was like coming home every night by driving through the neighborhood, pulling in the driveway and walking right into our suite. Forget parking garages, elevators, walking through the lobby to find your tower and an endless walk down a hallway, this is much better. Having the kitchenette and laundry availability was a lifesaver!!! Allison and Sven were exceptional hosts!!Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

Thank you Allison and Sven--You made us feel very comfortable. We loved being in a quiet neighborhood and being able to walk to the beach (one of the most incedible beaches in the world), and to town for dinner and shopping. Driving to Honolulu was easily accomplished over the Pali. We also loved driving to the North Shore on the quieter roads on the east side of Oha'u. You were very helpful in answering all of our questions and I will highly recommend your B&B to my friends and family. We hope we are able to stay again in the future.Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, girls getaway, sightseeing.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2009
About the owner: We love to travel and we love our Hawaiian home. In 1998 we took a year off to visit 17 different countries. Our travel experience gives us first-hand knowledge of what makes a simple room a “second home.' Sven speaks fluent German. Allison is a counselor who listens well in any language. Ellie is our friendly Bernese Mt. Dog who wonders how she ended up in Hawaii. We are happy to share our “local” perspective on activities, sites to visit and restaurants.
Why the Owner Chose Kailua:
We have lived in many spectacular places, but Kailua offers us the ideal location to pursue all our passions. One of the most beautiful beaches in the world is just a few blocks away. Hiking, biking, golfing, kayaking, windsurfing, kite-boarding and more are available just a few minutes from our home. We can walk to the quaint town of Kailua or take a 30 minute drive to Honolulu for world class cuisine. The tropical weather allows us to enjoy water sports all year long! Not to mention the warmth and kindness of our Hawaiian neighbors. We have found one of the greatest places on earth!
