'Hale Nalu Palekaiko' Pool, Walk to Kailua Beach

We are from the Bay Area, but invited family from Pittsburgh to all meet in Hawaii at stay at this beautiful home in Kailua. The pictures do not do this house justice- it's 1000x better than it looks. Kitty is very responsive, and we felt well taken care of. Our family from PIT kept saying we "hit the jackpot" with this home because of the location as well as all the supplies that were included.

It's a short walk to Kailua beach which is amazing. It's close to restaurants, a market, and shops. The pool in the backyard was perfect, and there are lots of pool toys as well as beach chairs you can take with you to the beach.

All of the rooms have air conditioning so we were never too hot either. The master bedroom had a bathroom off the bedroom... so others could share if necessary. I really can't see us ever returning to Hawaii and not staying here. It's perfect for families as there is enough space and baby supplies for everyone. Thank you Kitty so much for everything!

Our family (nine in all, 1-70) stayed here for a week and had a wonderful time.We toured many sights and went to the beach, but it was always great to get back "home." Kittie was very willing and anxious to make our stay the very best it could be. With little ones, it was so great to have a fence with a gate so we didn't have to constantly worry about the "littles" getting into pool without supervision. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need - and it is very organized!

We loved staying here! The pool is a huge hit. Quick walk to beach! You can walk to restaurants and cafes. There are more pools toys, beach accessories than you could ever use! The house is more stocked as far as kitchen needs than my house. We loved how it was decorated. I really can’t say enough good things! We will come back and stay here again.

PROS:

We really had a blast in this house!. We enjoyed the (1) layout of this home, (2) the amenities, (3) tastefully decorated, (4) proximity to the beach (about 3 block walk along a paved sidewalk) and (5) the safe family atmosphere of the Kailua beach community.

A nice surprise was the owners had provided some chocolate candy, cookies, Hawaii potato chips, etc which made us feel welcomed. Very nice touch.

Our family spent most of our time at Kailua Beach, the swimming pool or playing cards and board games in the house. There is also an outside storage shed with masks, snorkels, flippers, wave boards, pool toys and much more. There is also a collapsible wagon in which we piled 3 little kids and pulled them to the beach. The owner also provides 10 large beach towels for you to use at the beach.

We ate all of our meals in the house which has a large kitchen and table that sits 10 comfortably. There are also high chairs available to use.

Our family consisted of 6 adults and 4 children (ages 16 months to 7 years age). We (the grandparents) stayed in the detached cottage near the pool. The rest of the family used the main house. This allowed us to retreat whenever to chill or just rest.

All the bedrooms had ceiling fans and air conditioning making it comfortable for sleeping. The rest of the rooms in the house had ceiling fans. Opening the windows in the living room and lanai room created a welcome breeze.

Cooking was fun because the large kitchen was so well equipped with spices, rice cooker, crock pots, pans, blender and lots other cooking utensils. Also there was a well equipped spice rack next to the stove. They also had a very large refrigerator.

CONS:

There is only 1... which was too much chlorine in the pool.

We have rented homes in many places and I would give this house a 4.5 star rating out of 5 stars (being the best possible rating). A very comfortable and enjoyable home.

This house was the perfect home base for adventures all around Oahu. Very well apportioned and a great layout for our group of 10, including parking for two vehicles. Easy walk to the beach and shops. Between the pool and the ocean, our kiddos lived in the water! Kittie was an excellent host and we look forward to coming back to visit again in the future!
