Aloha and Welcome to the "House of Sweet Dreams." If you were able to pronounce the name of our vacation rental let us Congratulate you on your first Hawaiian language lesson.
Our quaint and cozy, large, one bedroom, Apartment unit is located half a block from world famous Kailua Beach. Kailua meaning "two seas" is located on the southeastern shore on the island of Oahu, Hawaii.
Come and take a tour with us:
Imagine starting your day with a complimentary cup of fresh brewed Kona Coffee and a sunrise walk on the three mile stretch of pristine white sand beach. With its gentle trade winds and constant water temperatures ranging from 70-75 degrees Fahrenheit (20-25 degrees Celsius), Kailua Beach is a perfect setting for year round water-sports. Some of the activities you may partake in include: swimming, surfing, windsurfing, kitesurfing, snorkeling, body surfing, boogie boarding, kayaking, etc.
There are other water activities nearby including: scuba diving, deep sea fishing, glass bottom boat rides, jet skiing, para-sailing, submarine voyage, etc.
Our "Hawaiiana" decor gives you the true island feeling of "home away from home." Palm trees, antique rattan furniture, "ukulele" paper towel holder, and kitchen "ukulele" dish towel rack are some of the unique accents of our unit that are found in no other part of the world. Along with the Bamboo towel bars in the bathroom this unit gives you a tropical feeling of truly being in the Pacific.
After a full day of water activities come back, crank up that Air Conditioning unit to prepare your surroundings for some much needed "snooze" time. Embellish in a hot shower with complimentary "local" island fragranced shower gels and lotions. It's time to take some "R&R" (rest and relaxation). ** BAMM ** REVITALIZATION HAS OCCURRED!!!
By this time you have worked up quite an appetite. Kailua town offers quite a variety of restaurants ranging from casual to fine dining. Some of our favorites include: Los Garcias Mexican, Assagio's Italian, Buzz's Steakhouse, Champa Thai, Noboru Japanese, Big City Diner, Cinnamon's family, etc. There are also the regular fast food restaurants available including: McDonald's, Taco Bell, Jack-in-the Box, Papa John's Pizza, etc.
Another alternative might be to put your favorite foods on the Barbecue Gas Grill and dine on the Patio Lanai. However, and yet still another alternative might be to enjoy a full blown "night on the town." The Famous "Waikiki" is a mere 30 minute drive into Honolulu. A more extensive list of restaurants is available and after dinner you may find a wide variety of music for your listening pleasure or visit some of the local nightclubs and enjoy dancing the night away until 4 AM.
You might not be a water enthusiast - there are various other activities to enjoy - including: golf, hiking, art or historic museums, sight seeing, Pearl Harbor Memorial, shopping, bicycling, Sea Life Park, Waikiki Aquarium, live theater, movies, sky diving, glider rides, etc.
Mahalo and "Thank You" for coming on our tour we hope you enjoyed yourself as much as we enjoyed taking you on your tropical vacation memory that will last a lifetime. Bring your imagination to reality. You deserve to experience the "House of Sweet Dreams."

August 28 - September 7, 2009 Aloha Kathy and Val, I just wanted to let you know that I had a wonderful time in Kailua and was very pleased with the House of Sweet Dreams! The location was perfect -- within walking distance to everything. This studio was exceptionally clean and very comfortable. When you say just pack your clothes, you weren't kidding. I had everything I could possibly need. After exploring the entire island of Oahu, I can definitely say that Kailua Beach and Lanikai are by far the most beautiful. These beaches are great for snorkeling, windsurfing, kayaking, or just relaxing without the crowds. Thank you for your generous hospitality and for providing this lovely rental at such an affordable price. Mahalo, Connie Holder Kernersville, NC

Homeowner Response:
Aloha Bob, I am VERY sorry you were disappointed in our accommodations. This is the 1st negative comment that we have received but am including it in our guest book because it is constructive criticism. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. The pictures on our website are "EXACTLY" how the unit appears. We do consider our unit a 1 "BIG" bedroom. A studio is considered to be where the bedroom and kitchen area are contained in 1 room -- our unit is separarated by a doorway. Thanks again for your comments. Aloha, Kathy and Val P.S. I just wanted to add the positive comments the actual guests that occupied this unit left in our guestbook. Cute and cozy. Great beach access. Super functional place. Very nice to see how the locals live. Nice and quiet and private. Your attention to detail made the stay that much nicer. I am glad that we missed the 3 weeks of rain. Neal, Dawn, Jason Pitsch Everett, Washington

Dear Kathy & Val, Thank you for sharing your place with us. I felt nurtured by your attentiveness, plentiful towels, clean studio, quiet (except for wind, rain, and bird calls, all of which I loved), nearby beach, full moon. We came at a hard time -- Val's loss of her father, I was sick -- and you made our stay peaceful nonetheless. Thanks again, be well, Desmid & Erica
