Great location, nice property

This property is close to beautiful Kailua beach. It captures the feel of Hawaii and avoids the tourism feel of the big concrete hotels. It has a full kitchen and laundry area, along with a place to park one car. The WiFi works great. I would come back.

Great stay, steps from the beach

5-Star Vrbo ReviewWe had a wonderful week-long stay over the New Year! The location was perfect—just a short walk to the beach, making it easy to enjoy the sand and surf. It was great to have beach chairs and coolers available to borrow, but we often found it just as convenient to walk back to the property if we needed anything. The house was clean, quiet, and very comfortable. Communication with Mark was seamless; he was responsive and helpful throughout our stay. We truly hope to be welcomed back in the future for another relaxing beach getaway! Highly recommend this property!

Glad we stayed here!

The pictures and description of the accommodations and surrounding area are spot on. Quick walk down to Kailua beach (and Lanikai beach) and a quick walk into town to the restaurants and grocery stores etc. Bus stop is near by as is the rental shop for kayaks, surf boards etc. Lisa and Mark were quick to respond to any concerns. We would stay here again if we have an opportunity to vacation on Oahu again. Thanks again, Mark & Lisa

Kailua

The property is literally steps from the private beach access. Cute and quaint guesthouse. Only issue with going during the summer is there was no ac and even with the windows open all day/night, the crosswinds didn’t help cool down the inside. However, there’s an abundance of fans at your disposal that we were able to use to help circulate air. But Oahu is phenomenal, snorkeled using the gear provided at the house, did a lot of hiking, kayaking and swimming. The market is a block away to grab sandwiches, snacks and any toiletries we forgot and Buzz’s is a short walk or drive down the road! Great time. Thx Mark!

Great location access to Kailua Beach

It was really wonderful location access to Kailua Beach, and very quiet neighborhood. There is enough space for a couple of people inside and outside. Only missing item is A/C. The fans didn't help to make inside cool, and it was a little difficult to keep sleeping all night long. My wife and I would like to come back here again if it will have A/C at least in bed room.

Literally, steps to the beach

I was immediately impressed when we first walked in as to how spotlessly clean the unit was. This is the exact location we were looking for in Kailua…a quiet street and just a few steps out the front door to the beach path. Next time we come to Kailua, we plan to stay here again.

Perfect!

This was a fabulous place to stay! It is truly just steps to a beautiful sandy beach. It is also walking distance to restaurants and kayak/snorkeling rentals. Also a nice location to travel to other parts of the island. Loved it! The apartment itself was spacious and comfortable.
