This villa in Kailua wowed our entire party the moment we arrived. From the sweeping vistas across to the Mokulua islands featuring turquoise waters to the charming villa itself with a tropical-island vibe, this property was all we could ask for. Nearly every bedroom in the house has views towards the ocean, and brings in a tropical breeze coming from the east side of the island. The kitchen and outdoor dining area was perfect for large group dinners, with views over the enormous back yard complete with palm trees and night lighting. The location of the house its very convenient for accessing some of the very popular beaches in the area, and is also conveniently close to Whole Foods, Target, etc and numerous local restaurants and eateries. Will definitely be returning!

This is, as described in its posting, a gorgeous villa. The house and guest cottage are at the end of a gated compound. When each of our adult children and their spouses arrived and looked around, each one's response was that it was even better than the pictures. The bedrooms have magnificent views and almost all have direct access to balconies looking out on the ocean. While sitting in the living room, we watched through the panoramic window, as green sea turtles poked heads out of the water on three different days. The kitchen is well outfitted. The completely sheltered but open to the fresh air dining room comfortably sat our 11 family members. There are smaller breakfast rooms and a kitchen counter. The villa has many distinct spaces, including the private balconies, so we had both excellent group spaces for talking and playing games together (living room and veranda), but also separate smaller indoor and outdoor quiet spots for an individual to read or just chill. In addition, the guest "cottage" is a beautiful living space with its own hot tub, (there are two hot tubs on the property), balcony, additional kitchen (we didn't use this one except for AM coffee), etc. The compound has a small sandy beach which is well supplied with chairs, etc. During our stay there was one other family and our group at this beach. It is also only a five-ten minute walk, three minute bicycle ride, to the magnificent Lanikai beach and its remarkably soft sand. The town of Kailua is a five-ten minute drive and has a full range of services including Shop Rite and Whole Foods for groceries. During our stay the owner of the property, Gina, and her sister, Christie, were very helpful and responsive. We did have a weather event on the last night of our stay with torrential rain combined with a very powerful north wind which was unusual. Sitting watching lightening over the ocean in the covered dining area was quite beautiful. However the unusually powerful winds caused a power outage for the area. There were storm lanterns in the villas so lighting was not a problem, but a couple of windows upstairs developed leaks, and water came in through the bottom of the closed front door. (The north wind whipped water against this side of the house.) Gina's family, while dealing with flooding in their own place, were concerned for us and responsive to our questions, and in the AM maintenance came to identify the sources of leakage for repair. A small event in a villa paradise.

Each room outstanding, and the Cottage was secluded. Wonderful private location. Water sport items (canoes, stand-up paddle boards, snorkel) delivered to the lawn by the beach. 6 couples stayed here; all very happy!

This location is as close as it gets to paradise. The house and layout is great for anyone who wants to enjoy luxury. We celebrated my wife’s 50th birthday and stayed with 14 guests. The house has great view bedrooms and beautiful bathrooms, a great kitchen and enough entertainment space to have a celebration. This is Hawaii at its best !
