We booked this location for a work offsite as we have a small team and like to make our own meals. It was absolutely perfect! The kitchen was fully stocked with all the cooking stuff we'd need, tons of board games to choose from, and the beach gear was amazing. Between co-working, it was great to be able to either hop in the pool or take a super short walk directly to the beach. The location felt very home-y, would love to stay here again!

The bathrooms were luxurious and spa-like. The house had everything needed to accommodate 13 travelers. The best part of the home is the pool and hot tub. Everyone enjoyed jumping off the rocks and into the deep end. The property manager was welcoming and quick to respond to any requests/questions.

Family Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location of this home is outstanding! The beach access is unmatched. We were able to run down to the beach so easily. All of the beach equipment was in the garage and so nice. The home itself is beautiful and very clean. Unfortunately, the AC wasn't working the last four days of our stay, which was a bummer. We chose this house because it did have AC. It got a little uncomfortable in the main area of the home. All the upgrades they've made to the home are awesome but the kitchen really does need some upgrades, hopefully that area is next. Looks like they're remodeling a little at a time. The attention to detail of all the spaces that have been remodeled are amazing!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Wow, this is a luxury renovation! Not sure what was more calming...a walk through a mangrove patch to one of the world's best beaches, hanging out by the pool at the house or just sneaking back into the bedroom to read.

The perfect spot

Our group had such a fun time here. Lots of great places to hang out and the pool area was like having a resort all to ourselves. Kitchen was very well stocked and knives were sharp which is a nice surprise for a rental.

Perfect Place in Hawaii

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This would be a great place to bring my family. It was still wonderful for my husband and myself. Everything was newly refurbished and they had a beautiful welcome basket. The spa was nice, we couldn’t use the pool it didn’t have heat. The beach was beautiful and a three minute walk. We really loved the small town and farmers markets. We plan to return. Thank you for sharing your home.

great vacation rental in Kailua near the beach

My family & I had a wonderful time staying at Diana & Russell's vacation rental. Diana & Russell were great hosts and the rental had every amenity we needed. Everything was as advertised and I would highly recommend this place to anyone that is looking for a comfortable place steps from the beach in Kailua. Hope to be back next year.

First time in Hawaii

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Outstanding property! All that they claim and more. The beach was not even a two minute walk. Plus the beach was beautiful and maybe 10 people on it! Back to the house, we all had plenty of space and privacy. Beautifully remodeled. They even left us a great welcome basket that had so much stuff we couldn’t finish. Only about a mile to everything restaurant and store. Loved Cinnamon’s for breakfast. Host was very attentive and reachable. Seriously nothing bad to say!!

What a lovely place to stay! The apartment has everything you need , beach towels, chairs, umbrellas, even a grill. We arrived just in time to see the July 4th fireworks from the balcony! Beach access is right on the lane the house is in, we were able to see the full moon rise over the Mokulua islands .

Paradise

We have stayed at many properties in Hawaii and this is by far the best. The home is beautiful, spacious and well maintained. Location is amazing - steps away from our favorite beach in Hawaii. We had two families at the house with room to spare. I will be dreaming of the bread pudding for years!

Amazing Family Vacation

I organized a family reunion at this property and to celebrate my parent's 55th anniversary. It exceeded our expectations in every way. The property is beautiful, inside and out. The kids couldn't get enough of the pool and the beach access was so easy. It offered us the privacy that we wanted along with all of the amenities needed for our stay. I would definitely recommend staying here if you're looking for a nice, big home near a pristine beach.
