This location gave us the perfect beachfront oasis we were looking for! The accommodations were clean and well kept. The bed was comfortable with soft sheets and perfectly fluffed pillows. Shari made check in and out a breeze. She also gave us a lot of local restaurant recommendations which were worth absolutely worth the hype! If you are looking for a private and peaceful beachfront getaway, I highly recommend this spot!

Perfect Beach Escape

Our four night stay at Shari’s place in Kailua was the perfect beach escape to start our November week in O’ahu. The apartment was comfortable and provided everything we needed. The location provided a short walk to Kailua Beach for daily dips in the ocean and long morning walks. Access to the center of town with a good selection of restaurants was under a 10 minute drive and close enough to Honolulu for those wanting to explore a little further away. Shari’s communication before and during our stay was excellent. We hope to return again soon.

Lovely Stay

We had a lovely stay here. Rental unit was spacious and clean. Host was warm and inviting and provides nice quality chairs and beach towels. Stayed early September and lack of AC caused no issues due to good airflow. But most importantly, the location was perfect. It was like almost having your own private beach. Couldn't have asked for a better stay.

Great oceanfront stay

The unit was clean and perfect for our 2 night stay. We wanted on the beach property and that’s exactly what we got! The beach is beautiful and the host was very communicative and even let us know if parking with other tenants changed for the day. We had zero issues. It’s quiet and the natural air was easy to sleep in

Wonderful Vacation!

Our host was friendly and very helpful. Not only made us feel welcome, but also gave us some great pointers about what to do on this side of the island. The setting was so different from the busyness of Honolulu…a refreshing change. Enjoyed the close proximity to the beach, the uncrowded, relaxed atmosphere. Had a great time!

Not what we expected

Left 2 minutes after realizing what we had expected was far from what it actually was. We realize views and privacy mean different things to different people but this has neither. Would not recommend it if the expectation is what is advertised.
