Perfect Beach Access Home

The house was perfect for our family reunion. The kitchen and house in general had everything we needed. Great and helpful communication with management. Fantastic location close to the beach and grocery stores.

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!

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.

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!!

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.

Excellent and steps from Kailua beach

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 .

What more can you ask for?!

We stayed here with a large group for my 50th birthday. We were a mix of kids & adults. Four families total. First positive, when booking this location the communication was excellent with the property management company who recently took over responsibility. I had booked a different property originally and the communication was neither prompt nor polite. Next, the property manager offered to be there when we checked in to provide a tour. I turned it down only because I thought a long flight with kids was going to have me at my wits end. When we showed up, she had made sure to swing by and get everything turned on and ready for us. So kind and professional! The updates to the home were excellent. It was extremely comfortable and each family felt as though they had their own private space. The location of the kitchen was perfect for all of us to meet and hang out. Though there are homes very close to this one the amount of trees and foliage on the property make it feel like your own little secluded paradise. The pool and hot tub were, of course, a ginormous hit with all of us. The real kicker was the very short, private, and protected walk to the best spot on this strip of Kailua Beach. The home location is far enough away from the state park that you feel you’re enjoying time in your own private beach area. Overall, though we did experience a few “glitches“ with some aspects I cannot say enough positive things about how the management company handled it. So polite and prompt.

Practically at Kailua Beach; AC works well, clean and efficient. Washer / dryer means you can pack less clothes. Cable and Wifi; Safeway and K-Town very close. Lanikai down the road. We will be back!!

Family Thanksgiving & Birthday Celebration

Our three generation family celebrated Thanksgiving & several birthdays. This house was perfect for all of us. Two extra kitchens gave us plenty of room for drinks & any leftovers. The terrace overlooking the pool was a beautiful location for morning coffee!! A very brief walk to the beach was the highlight, with beautiful sand and ocean views!! This is a lovely home and was enjoyed by all in my family!!!

fabulous beach location

This is a cozy niche with comfortable beds next to my favorite beach in the world. I walk the length at dawn daily, and swim out far enough to see the dramatic mountains unobscured by palm trees. The kitchen/dining area is like that on a large sailboat, and the decor is Hawaiian to the max. Diana is always helpful if called on.

We had the priviledge of staying at the 2b/2b Palione rental. I would, without a doubt, recommend this beach rental for anyone that is seeking an easy beach access, a well stocked and clean home, AC,and recently updated with hospitable hosts. All the needed amenties were avail,i.e. kitchen well stocked, beach chairs, boogie boards etc. We look forward to staying in beautiful Kailua again and without hesitation will stay at this rental.

Amazing location and property

As advertised. Amazing property. One block from beach. Pool and jacuzzi are awesome. Every room had tv and well equipped house. BBQ works great. Couple of minor issues handled efficiently by property manager: wifi password not correct and showers draining slowly. For a family it’s amazing

We spent two wonderful weeks at this Palione Place rental with our two young daughters. The unit is very clean, comfortable and well stocked. It is also perfectly located for enjoying the beach with minimal hassle. No streets to cross, no parking concerns, no crowds. Boogie boards, chairs, beach towels and toys all provided - what more do you need! Kailua is the perfect island vacation spot - worlds away from Waikiki! We booked our next stay while we were still there! Cant wait!

Kailua Beach House Rental

We so enjoyed our time here! The accommodations were beachy and comfortable. The location was perfect -- (a 50 yard? walk down a sandy path to the beach). The house is only a few minutes drive to the Kailua Beach Park area where we rented SUP boards to Flat Island. Also, a 10 minute drive to some great hikes, especially the Olomana Trail if you want to get your adrenaline pumping! The absolute only downside was that parking an SUV is a tad tight and tricky in the space provided. We had a fabulous time and look forward to staying here again!
