This house is ideally situated a block from Kalama Beach Park, on the quieter end of Kailua Beach. The house was quite hot during our August stay, so for summer stays you should consider renting the portable AC unit that is available at least for late summer stays (it is not included in the rental price, which I had not understood from the listing). The house is on a very quiet lot, shielded from most neighbors, but be aware that you are in a residential neighborhood and there may be noise; the next-door neighbors were hosting family and friends for a wedding so they had a few loud late night parties (“late” in Kailua is until 10:30/11).
The house is amazingly well equipped - kitchen stuff, towels, toys, chairs, and boogie/foamy surf board. The outdoor seating and grill are wonderful, as is the outdoor shower.
We loved staying here. Only real complaint is the internet service, which was out for a few days. This is typical of Kailua and likely not in the owners’ control, but a nuisance to be aware of nonetheless.
Katie the manager is very responsive. Stay here to really feel like you are a Kailua resident. Mahalo!!!
