Beautiful spot
Perfect spot in Kailua. The pictures were a little misleading though. Made it seem like we were getting two separate rooms or two queen size beds but that was not the case. We got one room with two twin beds. My brother and I didn’t mind a bit though! They wrote sweet welcome cards and supplied us with pastries and fresh fruit! We walked to the beach every morning to see an amazing view! It was truly wonderful!

Hidden hideaway bed and breakfast Kailua

Quick trip
The pros…this property is in a great location to the beach. The owner is very sweet. This isn’t a true bed and breakfast, but it is a safe place to lay your head when you are in Hawaii, with privacy. The cons…the room is very outdated. It needs remodeled. It is like stepping into your great grandma’s house…not at all what i expected and was too expensive for what it was. If we were staying longer than two days, we would have moved to a different location. There are no restaurants, stores, or anything around, so if you stay here, make sure you rent a car. Overall, it did its job for what we needed.

Great location
Location is great. Manager onsite and very helpful. Laundry available. Covered parking a big plus. The only thing I can say is that the unit we stayed in (sunset suite) is very dated. Minor investments would go a long way. All bedding is old, carpet in unit which traps sand, mini refrigerator but has freezer. Bed is king size, but two twin mattresses put together, so substantial foam topper. Couldn’t feel the difference in two mattresses vs one, but made for a very soft mattress and with a bad back this wasn’t the greatest. The kitchen was equipped, but the instructions were to wash your dishes before you leave and the only sink is the bathroom, so kind of different. Overall good time had and can’t beat the beach! Easy to pack a lunch and cooler and walk 15 min to the beach. Also walking distance to pill box trail which leads to an amazing view. I like to get a morning run in and this is a great location to get 5-10 easy miles in in the morning. Great little store nearby that has amazing poke! One last thing, two small flights of stairs to get to unit so it you need ADA this won’t work.

Cozy Hawaiian Stay
Perfect 4 nights! Easy entry and parking. What set this place apart, however, were the thoughtful touches that the owner, a beacon of hospitality, sprinkled throughout our stay. The room was stocked with an array of great snacks and drinks, catering to our cravings at any hour. It felt as if they had thought of everything, from beach towels to beach chairs, ensuring our beach days were as carefree as possible. Speaking of the owner, their friendly and attentive nature added a layer of warmth to our stay. The guidebook was full of recommendations for local eats and hidden gems, making us feel more like valued guests than transient travelers. In summary, our stay was nothing short of magical. The combination of the cozy suite, the luxurious jacuzzi, the well-appointed amenities, and the owner's unparalleled hospitality made our Hawaii vacation unforgettable. If you're seeking a slice of paradise with a personal touch, look no further. This cozy house is a testament to the Aloha spirit, inviting you to relax, rejuvenate, and revel in the beauty of Hawaii.

Good for a couple but not more imo. Don’t expect a 5 star hotel room. It’s a modified B&B style with a superb location for the Kailua and Lanakai beaches.

Great Place for Two
This was a great location as we rented a car for the week and toured most parts of the island. Having local restaurants, grocery store, Target, etc. nearby was a big benefit. The place is small, but we didn't have the need to stay inside except to sleep and shower. The patio was very relaxing. The host lives on the property and was very attentive to any needs we had.

the hidden hideaway
The property is truly hidden and beautiful. Janice the host is an expert at what she is doing. The beech (3) blocks away is stunning and picture perfect. The bed in the suite is extreamly comfortable and the private hot tub is crystal clear and truly hot (its adjustable). All in all a relaxing stay.

Staying Paradise
Lanikai is definitely a piece of paradise and we are so grateful that we found an affordable place to stay there. The location of the Hidden Hideaway was perfect, with an easy walk to the beach and drive into town. The accommodations were comfortable. We really enjoyed our private second floor patio and sat out there for hours every evening. There was also a jacuzzi spa on it. We were surprised by the amount of delicious fruit, pastries and snacks Janice provided. It was all delicious, and very much appreciated.

Location. Period.
Positives: Location. Period. Negatives: Everything smells like mildew. It caused my husband to have an asthma attack immediately upon walking in. Opening all windows, using fans and AC helped BUT owner left a rude note saying "we are not trying to cool the outside". She even came into the room to turn the fan off. Very invasive. For the price, owner should be able to pay the power bill ten times over. The "breakfast" was stale Costco items and apples and oranges. Saying the shower was a trickle of water is generous. Zero water. Shower curtain was moldy and bathroom also smelled. Beach chairs were ancient and floats were disgusting. The hot tub was cloudy and uninviting. No way were we getting in it. We wanted to stay in Lanikai. It was the only option on VRBO. Lesson learned. I hope the owner will take this to heart and clean this place up.

Great get-away
This was a location that really met the needs of our type of stay - we were traveling a lot, using the B&B as a home base mostly. The Inn felt very safe, it was enjoyable to simply sleep with our windows open and enjoy the natural breeze. We also appreciated having a selection of food options and access to a kitchenette. Lanikai was beautiful and our favorite spot to sit beach side and swim. I am very glad we picked this B&B over other available location. I would describe the vibe as comfortable and functional, not necessarily romantic.
