Stunning Kailua Oceanfront Getaway

We (group of childhood friends, all turning 50 this year) had the pleasure of staying for 8 days at Richard's beautiful Kailua home. As you might imagine, this trip was planned over many months, even years, and this property did not disappoint.

First, what a location! Waking up each day to that spectacular view was worth the trip alone! Further, the neighbourhood was lovely--friendly (neighbours were helping us with our recycling!) and peaceful. The front-side patio facing the beach was a perfect spot to both start the day at sunrise, and end the day at dusk/dark. Many a morning coffee and evening cocktail were consumed there. We LOVED the local nesting birds (honestly, the first night, we thought it was kids on the beach pretending to be ghosts). They were the source of much amusement and laughter the entire week.

Second, the house itself is outstanding--spacious, open-design, functional, and fun. Having three full bathrooms (all with shower and tub) was a godsend, and the bedrooms all had tons of closet/storage space, hangers, etc. It was so easy to have everything stored and away, which always makes for a calmer stay anywhere.

Third, the amenities were great--modern oven/stove, fridge, and appliances; built in sound-system; air-conditioning throughout; lots of dishes, cooking supplies, etc.; shampoo/conditioner/bath gel in all bathrooms; lots of towels; washer/dryer; TVs/Blu-Ray players; loungers, chairs, and pool toys; and SUPER COMFY BEDS that we all now covet! We all slept great.

Fourth, the caretakers, Lianne and Ramon, were very responsive to any questions and couldn't have been more helpful, especially on our departure day when schedules went a bit sideways. Similarly, Richard was super-pronto in returning any and all emails.

Finally, that pool! Some of us *cough cough* became quite attached to that pool. Being able to lounge around, just us, swim, play music, eat, drink, laugh ... it was everything we wanted and needed for our Hawaii 5-O.

Thank you so much, Richard, Lianne, and Ramon! You made our once-in-a-lifetime Hawaii 5-O trip one to remember!

My wife and I flew in from Australia with our son and spent a week at Kaimalino Kai with my mother and grandmother. It is such an amazing house. Great location with stunning views, a beautiful heated pool, tons of room and very comfortable furnishings. The kitchen is extremely well stocked with cookware, plates and cutlery so meals at home were convenient for us. Laundry was also easy as the house has a large washer and dryer. Probably the best holiday home we’ve ever rented, seems like they’ve thought of everything that someone would or could need. The pictures don’t do the house justice, it’s absolutely stunning! Can’t recommend it enough for a small family getaway. Considering we ranged in age from 18 months to 80 years old, and we all were comfortable and super happy with everything the house had to offer, pretty much says it all. Richard the owner was a pleasure to deal with, as was Ramon and Lianne the property managers. Really hope we can come back for another holiday, Thanks for everything!

The property was lovely. Everything was how it was described. The views are fabulous from the living room area and the windows can be opened to listen to the ocean. The location is great just 5-10 min from beaches, restaurants and shopping. We especially enjoyed cooling off in the pool at the end of the day. Our only negatives were the neighbor’s home next door looked in dis repair. This was very distracting compared to all the nice homes in the neighborhood. Also every night we heard some type of bird “crying” all night long. But despite these things we loved the home and would definitely stay again.

We have just returned from 10 days at this lovely home - It is beautiful

but comfortable everyone from age 3 to 73 loved our stay - the view is of course

fabulous the gardens lovely the pool perfect for all - we did use the bikes but

once out of this great neighborhood the traffic is intense- we also had perfect weather

bright/sunny - the ground staff very polite/prompt and helpful- it was a great stay

I would hope to be back it was a privilege to stay here - Thanks to all who made this possible - the Minnesota Harts
