This is a GREAT studio unit! Easily accessible to the BEST beach in the world, Lanikai! And a one minute walk to Kailua Beach. They have plenty of beach chairs and beach ‘toys’. They also have two bikes for pleasure riding.The unit was clean, checking in & out was a breeze! The owner was friendly and helpful. Communication was super easy.When they say a small car is ideal, they’re not kidding. I rented a Kia Soul and it just fit in my designated parking spot. Super fun trip! Hope to stay here again in the future! Aloha!

Can't say enough good things about this place!The check-in process was very easy and accurately explained in advance of our arrival. The unit is exactly as described and spacious enough for two people (we stayed in the "Sunrise Suite"; there are several other units in this property).Parking is provided on-site (which is important). The pool and hot-tub are incredible (and an amazing way to spend time while doing laundry in the provided washer & dryer).The property is literally steps from Kailua Beach, an AMAZING beach away from all of the throngs of tourists in Waikiki.Kailua itself is amazing, with tons of great restaurants (Buzz's Steakhouse is walking distance and the Kalapawai Market, a great place to get your morning coffee, is about 1/2 mile away).We loved the place so much that we extended our stay (and just cancelled our reserveration in Waikiki). And Zak & Susan made it super-easy (great communication).Oh, and the sunrises across the street could be postcards! (see the included picture)I guess the only thing to point out is that this is NOT Waikiki (a great thing in my opinion!), which is about 30 minutes away by car.Overall, I'd give them six stars if that were available.

The parking situation was horrendous!! Young boys in the downstairs front unit were crawling all over our rental car parked cockeyed in the garage!! There needs to be a better, more convenient parking space for all the tenants..just impossible to get in and out..all the tenants were complaining! Loose toilet paper holder, light bar in bathroom not working properly and ants even in the bathroom! We enjoyed the pool and TV but parking and exiting were HUGE obstacles!!

I had a great stay. Upon my arrival, everything was in place, neat and clean. Parking was a little tight but doable. I will definitely stay here again and definitely recommend this as the place to stay on Kailua. The beach is beautiful, and everything is close (shopping and dining) in proximity.

Excellent Location!

Our stay was wonderful. The location of this property is incredible, right across the street from Kailua Beach Park. The room has everything you need for a short stay/not planning to cook every meal. The pool is beautiful and refreshing. Owners are so incredibly kind and respond quickly to any inquiries, we had the chance to meet them and really enjoyed their recommendations.

Excellent location

The location and the owners were amazing. This is our new favorite area to stay in Oahu, across the street from the amazing Kailua Beach, and a 15 minute walk to the beautiful Pillbox trail and gorgeous Lanikai Beach (that both have no nearby parking). There is a nice table to eat at next to the pool, and the bed is very soft. The yard is gorgeous. We also loved all the beach gear and big beach towels. We hope to return.

Kailua Beach, 2 friends

This unit was selected for location across from beach. Entry to unit is awkward as you walk thru another unit’s lanai. The property was listed as ‘sleeps 3’, but there is only a double bed and fold-out pad for the floor. Wicker furniture provided limited clean area to prepare food and the sink was in bathroom. Pool was lovely.

About the host

Hosted by Susan Bryson

Host profile image
Steve and I lived in Colorado for 10 years and had our first child. She was 3 months premature and weighed in at a whopping 1 pound!! When she turned one, she weighed almost 10 pounds. Her doctor said that she would grow if we moved her to a warmer climate.. that it was difficult for her to maintain a 98.6 degree body temperature without burning so many calories.

So, we moved to Hawaii.. with $500 in the bank and our little daughter. That was in December, 1979. And here we are 40 years later.

Our daughter has since married and moved back to Colorado and had two beautiful daughters. We had our son after moving to Hawaii. He married his high school sweetheart, and they now have 2 sons.
There's more to the story, so come and stay with us to hear the rest. We love our guests and have many repeat visitors to our lovely rentals.

Why they chose this property

We bought our house before it became a vacation rental. We owned a small travel agency and people were always asking if there was anywhere to stay other than Waikiki. So we decided to rent out some rooms in our home to accommodate our clients and to make a little extra money. There were no hotels in our town and the beach was just gorgeous. Little did we know that Kailua would become such a B&B mecca.

What makes this property unique

You will love the hospitality and service we provide our guests. The beach is absolutely gorgeous and the property is like walking into Shangri La. Steve's gardens are breathtaking and the pool is beautiful.
