'Hale Nalu Palekaiko' Pool, Walk to Kailua Beach

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!

My family and I recently stayed in this house and have nothing but positive things to say about our experience. The property is well taken care of and seemingly much larger than we had expected based on pictures. We utilized the house and guest house for my family, my parents, and my mother in law and her husband and we never felt like we were lacking space at all. The large kitchen area made it easy for us to have room for large meal prep and the amenities were fantastic. This place has everything you need from all necessary kitchen appliances for meals to a great number of pool accessories that make it easy to jump right into vacation immediately upon arrival.

Kittie is a fantastic host and was quick to respond to any questions we had regarding the property. Having a great host made it all the better as we never were left guessing regarding anything with the property.

Along with this, the pool was a big hit. The beach is also less than a 10 minute walk down the road and was absolutely beautiful.

Thank you for the hospitality and well taken care of home that helped make our large family vacation so great!
