If you want to stay somewhere in Kailua with onsite beach access, this is a great choice. Beautiful sunrises and a not so busy beach. It is also quiet and lovely to sleep to the sound of the waves crashing. There are some house rules you should ask the property manager before you book, and they are very easy going and full of Aloha. We would definitely stay again.

Excellent base and very kind host

My sister and I spent a couple days here before the rest of our family met us. We loved Kailua and were so excited to stay on the water. I had been worried about not having AC, but with all the fans provided and the ventilation from the windows we slept great. Although we already had a plan of what we wanted to do Shari was very helpful and was happy to give suggestions or chat about ideas for plans. Being just steps from the beach was such a gift and we had an amazing time!

Wonderful stay!

We loved staying here. The rental is super clean, stylish, and steps away from a beautiful beach! The water is gorgeous and the sand is so soft. Walking along the beach in the morning was a highlight. Paddle boarding and checking out the many nearby beaches and trails was super fun. This is a place to relax and enjoy the beauty of Oahu! Thanks to Shari for being a great host! We hope to be back!

A Perfect Rental in a Perfect Spot

Our dear friends stayed in the room next to ours, and we all met up on the beach (just steps away) for sunrises, coffee, and beach breakfasts, lunches, and dinners! Shopping, restaurants, groceries are all just minutes away, but once you have your supplies there really is no need to leave this well-equipped and perfectly situated property sitting on the most beautiful beach you likely have ever see! Also, the host is next-level nice and friendly. A perfect rental.

Wonderful Vacation!

Our host was friendly and very helpful. Not only made us feel welcome, but also gave us some great pointers about what to do on this side of the island. The setting was so different from the busyness of Honolulu…a refreshing change. Enjoyed the close proximity to the beach, the uncrowded, relaxed atmosphere. Had a great time!

Kailua Beach / Hawaii’s Best

This is an apartment which is perfect for a couple. It includes plenty of space, a modern kitchen & bath, and comfortable King bed located in a quiet neighborhood just steps from 2.5 miles of Kailua beach. From the door, walk 25 steps on a private walkway to a well manicured, ocean view lawn which is yours to share with another couple and your hosts. Walk another 25 steps and you are on the beach where you are greeted by a magnificent sunrise and dozens of well behaved dogs (and their humans) each morning.

Great oceanfront stay

The unit was clean and perfect for our 2 night stay. We wanted on the beach property and that’s exactly what we got! The beach is beautiful and the host was very communicative and even let us know if parking with other tenants changed for the day. We had zero issues. It’s quiet and the natural air was easy to sleep in
