Large, private property, 1 block from world renowned Kailua Beach..

My family and I just returned from a 2 week stay at Hale Kailana. The house was beautiful and the location was great - it’s less than a 10 minute walk to the beach, less than 5 minute drive into town, and very quiet and private since it’s nestled in behind other houses.

The Positives:

- The outdoor shower was amazing and we used it everyday

- The lanai was great for dining al fresco every night

- Having laundry facilities was really convenient. There wasn’t a laundry basket when I arrived, but upon asking, Katie brought one the very next day!

- The queen beds were really comfortable

The Negatives:

The only downside is that there’s no air conditioning in the house. There are ceiling fans in every room and with all the windows open, it’s really breezy and not an issue when there are trade winds. But during our 2 week stay, the winds died down and were gone for almost 1.5 weeks, so it got extremely hot and stifling in the house. Our 7-month old daughter had trouble sleeping due to the heat.

Other than the no AC, we had a wonderful time!

My colleague and I stayed for five nights while we worked and got a little play in on the side. The cottage is a short walk to Kailua beach, has all the toys you need, and is quiet and peaceful. It was recently remodeled, so all is fresh and bright. Also, Kailua Town and lovely Lanikai beach are close at hand. The caretaker, Katie, was easily accessible. Sit back, relax, and enjoy -- easy to do at this rental.

We loved using this home as a base for exploring Oahu. Katie went above and beyond to meet all of our needs, including a last minute extension of stay and mailing my son's favourite toy back to Australia when we left him behind!

The house has everything you need and is very well presented. We especially loved the outdoor shower and didn't even use the indoor one. As advertised, there were fans only and no AC. The beach and shops were all conveniently close by.

Thanks for facilitating a wonderful holiday Katie!

I was born in Kailua and have not lived in Hawaii for 25 years although we vacation to several islands a year. I wanted to bring my family (wife, 3 year old, 10 month old) to Kailua instead of 'town' (Waikiki/Honolulu). We enjoyed our stay a lot more than we would have in the city. This house has everything we needed (grill, boogie boards, pots/pans, yard for the girls) and most importantly is a 5 minute walk from Kalama Beach Park. We made the walk and beached it at least twice a day and had a cookout with my Grandma, Aunt & cousins who still live there.

It was a great vacation for my family & very private with a long driveway. Also can't forget about the outdoor shower (which I used for every shower during our stay). It was just the right size for the 4 of us and as long as the group doesn't grow we'll use this house for our Oahu stays moving forward.

We were there for almost 2 weeks and we had a wonderful time. The house is a few minutes away, on foot, from Kailua beach (which is long and wide and great for boogie boarding) and about 5 mins away, by car, from Lanikai beach (great for splashing around).

The house was very clean and put together. We had everything we needed at the house and we mostly ate in. Both kids (ages 3 & 7) loved running around in the backyard. The outside shower was a total hit! We enjoyed eating on the wide, beautiful deck.

The house has a washer & dryer, which both came in very handy. Also, the house is very close to Target, Whole Foods, Safeway, etc.

Thanks for a wonderful vacation!
