Great house in a very quiet neighborhood right on beach. We were there for a family (5 adults) vacation over Christmas. Check-in and Check-out were super simple and easy! Kailua town is a beautiful little spot with lots of conveniences. We like to cook on our vacations, so Whole Food and Foodland plus the very well appointed kitchen made is fun and easy. Fantastic grill on patio, Maytag washer/dryer added to the convenience of a week in paradise. The property manager was very quick and prompt to reply to little issues that came up. Plenty of towels, paper supplies, beach chairs, etc. for our week.
But the house is NOT air conditioned. The temperature in December was fine, but the house is extremely damp. There is one bedroom that has an antiquated wall unit that we didn't even try to use. Every room has books, shelves and shelves of books, which I think have absorbed the moisture in the air, so some of the rooms have a very, very musty odor.
The best part of the house is the second floor master suite (I think is a newer addition to the house?) Beautiful walk in shower "room" with jacuzzi tub, but it didn't work. Gorgeous lanai where you can see the ocean and get fabulous breezes. BUT Internet is very spotty or none on the second floor. Several ceiling light bulbs needed replacing.
Two full baths on first floor are, for lack of better words, "scary". Clean but very, very old, damp and dated. Photos make them look bright, but they aren't. There is a second smaller house on the property that shares the yard and beach area. The guests there for the week used a shared patio area as a "smokers' lounge. I had to ask them to stop and they were very accommodating but FYI, it could be different. Location, location, location for this high $$ property.
