Stunning Kailua Oceanfront Getaway

This home was beautiful and well stocked. We enjoyed the location because there was not a lot of traffic and 2 beautiful beaches were very close to the house. The beds were comfortable and the air conditioning was nice to have for the bedrooms. The kitchen/dining/sitting area on top floor was wonderful, and the windows allowed the breeze to come through and cool the room. The pool was a plus. It was a little difficult to keep clean because leaves would frequently blow into the pool. Beach chairs and beach toys provided! However, the bicycles need a lot of work and were not a good source of transportation. The view was incredible and we even saw turtles! I recommend this home to anyone who would enjoy a little solitude at the end of a day of sightseeing and beach time. We don’t regret it!

Enjoyed the week great location

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our week in paradise! The house was well equipped with everything you could need. The house was spacious so everyone had their own space to read, watch TV, sit by the pool, lounge on the deck by the crashing waves or just stare out the huge expanse of windows at the ocean. Our only complaint was that the air conditioning upstairs struggled to keep things cool and dry and the lack of an AC in the tv room on the first floor meant it was a bit warm at times (even when the windows and screen door was open tonletnin the breeze). The bedrooms, however, were extremly cool and comfortable for a sound sleep! We enjoyed many good restaurants in the neighborhood, but weren’t too far from Waikii and other activities on the Island. I’ve been to Oahu many, many times, but never on the east side. It is THE only place to be on this island! Mahalo for a wonderful vacation.

We REALLY enjoyed staying here. From the moment we arrived, we knew we were in good hands. Roman walked us through the house to explain everything to us. Right next to a welcome basket of fruit and coffee, there was a detailed notebook that included answers to any questions we might have. Roman was extremely responsive to our texts for restaurant suggestions and some house questions. While we were there, the microwave motor burned out. Roman replaced it THAT evening.

Front Yard: Just right! We used the pool every day. It's not deep, which is perfect for our kids who are learning to swim. It's also protected from the windy beach since it is in front of the house and surrounded by the garage and a fence. (It does get VERY windy here.) The garage is stocked full of pool floats/noodles, as well as beach gear like chairs and bikes. We also used the new BBQ a couple of times.

Upstairs: I think my favorite part of the house was upstairs with the expansive kitchen and the peaceful view overlooking the ocean. The kitchen is stocked with all of the essentials. The furniture is just right. Classy yet comfortable.

Bedrooms: Details like alarm clocks with USB ports and electric sockets in them in every room is an example of how well thought-out this place is. The master bed was VERY comfortable.

The only issue we had was with the TV. We had a hard time figuring out how to switch over to Netflix. That is one thing the binder of information did not cover.

Neighborhood: Staying in Kailua felt more like staying where residents stay as opposed to just tourists. It was a side of Hawaii we hadn't experienced and we really enjoyed it.

Minor suggestions:

We recommend updating to a coded entry or at least an updated lockbox.

A Keurig coffee pot would be great! Much easier to use, and everyone gets the coffee/tea they want.

Overall, it was JUST what we wanted. I just wish we could have stayed longer. Well worth it!

Our family had the most wonderful stay in this beautiful Kailua home. It was clean, spacious, and very well decorated. One of our favorite things to do was to sit on the couch right next to the windows and feel the ocean breeze on our face. It was fabulous. The kids loved swimming in the pool and we loved sitting on the peaceful lenai. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of towels. They also provided beach towels and chairs in the garage along with a cooler which was so nice for those beach days. The kids loved walking along the beach in back of the house and finding crabs in the lava rock. There was so much to discover. Leanne was helpful whenever we needed anything. And Alejandro the gardener even cut down some coconuts for us. We felt so welcomed! We should definitely stay here again!
