The property is exactly as pictured and advertised. Wonderful oceanfront location with an immense yard and private pool. Steven, the property manager, was quick to respond to any questions and provided excellent service. The kitchen was well stocked and there were plenty of beach towels for enjoying the ocean or pool. The owners obviously take great pride in this home as they should. It's a beautiful home in an amazing location. Close to town and all that Kailua has to offer.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a setting we will never forget. Its location right in the middle of Kailua beach was perfection. Is it possible to fall in love with a tree? Whether providing contrast to the sea, sand and sky or shelter from the sun we marveled at its beauty. The house itself I would characterize as casual, comfortable luxury. Nothing pretentious or too precious. The kitchen was well outfitted with all the appliances and accessories you could ask for. A lovely basket of local goodies greeted us along with a very clean and well maintained home. Our family enjoyed long walks on the beach, bocce on the lawn, boogie boarding right outside our door, nearby hikes, eating at local food carts and restaurants. If you’re looking for a more authentic Hawaiian vacation away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki, this is your place.

Reviewer Comments: The pictures say it all: the yard and beach access can't be beat. Loved sleeping in a very comfy bed with the windows open to the sound of the surf, then getting up at dawn for walks on the beach for the scenic sunrise and the brightest double rainbow I've ever seen.Inside, the house is very spacious, and the kitchen has high end pots and pans, an induction stove, a Vitamix blender, a Zojirushi rice cooker.... Only nit was that the washer had mildew, which is not a surprising for a front-loader used by renters in humid area. However, the sheets etc. must have been washed elsewhere because they had no mildew smell.

It was away from the crowds of Honolulu, but close enough for us to drive there and other places on the the island. But the highlight was the property. Highly recommended.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was the absolutely perfect place for our family. There was something for everyone from the pool and beach for the kids and big kids to quiet puzzles and relaxing reading spaces for the older adults. The rooms were beautiful, spacious, clean and comfortable. The water toys that were provided, the huge lawn and beautiful uncrowded beach made the kids so happy. We bbq’d often, sat on the lanai for dinner and thoroughly enjoyed the trade winds in the main living area via the telescoping sliding doors. Nearby Kailua town was perfect for grocery shopping and grabbing takeout. Patty responded quickly with questions I had. My parents left saying that this was the best vacation they’ve ever taken. Mahalo!
