We were overall very happy with the house except for a a few things. The largest issue (which is not the fault of the home) is that our beach water was brown with yellow foam. This was caused from rain which flooded the rivers, dumping sewage into the bay. Neighbors warned us that chemicals were in the bay from the run off of farming. This was confirmed by Hawaii.gov web site. I personally was devastated because this was 6 of the 7 nights there. Had I known this I wouldn't have splurged on beach front property. I wasn't even comfortable dipping my toe into the ocean. I would make sure you check the state website before going into the water at this beach.

The house suited 4 couples, 1 single adult on the sleeper sofa (terrible mattress, better for kids), and 3 single adults in the King size with trundle . King size, trundle room smelled like musty mold, not terrible but I could not have slept in there. Luckily, the 3 adults could deal with it. The common spaces were awesome. One of the doors in the living room opened up the entire wall length to create an in door out door atmosphere. Loved the outdoor grill and living situation. We all practiced yoga every morning in that area with plenty of space. Pool was in very good condition and very clean. There were 3 outdoor showers that were convenient. Everything you need for the beach was there and well organized. Unfortunately, we couldn't use the kayaks because of the contaminated beach waters.

I would not stay here again because I would not want to risk experiencing chemicals and sewage in the ocean water when it rains ( it commonly does rain in Kailua). If the beach was guaranteed safe, I would highly recommend this place because it really accommodated 12 adults comfortably.
