Lovely home complete with all of the essentials. It is adequate for large group of family members (8 to 10). It is clean, neat, and right next to the beach (about 40 steps). Location is close to town and convenient to many grocery stores and lots of other wonderful shopping. The Hosts, Barbara and Harry, have provided an inspirational Hawaiian Paradise.

We loved our stay in this beautiful home. It was perfect for our multigenerational family. Every need was met for all age. Nothing was missing from Beach supplies to House comforts. Also Misty was a wonderful property manager and available when needed for questions, suggestions, or problem solving. (She even came when we accidentally caused the problem.) We have stayed in Hawaii numerous times before and this was the best beach we have ever stayed on. I would highly recommend this House to anyone looking for a GREAT vacation!

Our family celebrated Christmas and New Year’s on the sandy beach in Kailua . We enjoy spending time together . Our days were full of water activities and hikes . The house location is terrific for both water access and hiking as well as easy access to the town for food shopping and restaurants. The beach is accessed within 2 minutes by a sandy path that runs along the outside wall of house . The beach is safe for all ages with easy entrance to the water . Our daughter found a coral reef a short paddle away from the shore and was able to see turtles and eels as well as many fish . The house is comfortable, clean and has good space . It has a large master bedroom with a lovely outdoor sitting area facing the garden , an older master bathroom that could use updating but is still very functional. The other 2 main bedrooms have comfortable beds and good bathrooms . The den ( off the kitchen)has a comfortable Murphy bed and a day bed . Our 3 grandchildren shared that room . It is large with the washer/dryer area off of this room . There were plenty of pool towels available ….greatly appreciated! The small guest room attached to the garage is a few steps from the den . It is completely separate to the house . It has a queen bed and it’s own bathroom . It’s lovely . Our 16 year old grandson stayed there and loved his privacy. The pool is large , well maintained and has a very strong pool cover for security . We covered the pool as soon as the last person emerged . There is a small hot tub available off the pool . The combination of beach and pool was terrific for our family holiday in Hawaii. There were some inadequacies in the kitchen area such as a lack of wine glasses or cookie sheets etc but I contacted Misty and she took responsibility. Misty was an amazing communicator. She responds to your requests within minutes ! We met the owner Harry who showed us the house and explained the expectations for the rental . We are responsible renters who respect and follow the rules . Everyone was very friendly . We felt safe ! There is a gated parking for 3 cars and a fence around the whole property to secure the area . Our holiday was a fun one for our family . We , the grandparents , brought our daughters and their families to Kailua for a memorable holiday . All agrees that it was magical !

Overall, we loved the house and went to the beach every day. Misty was helpful when we had questions. The pictures reflect well realityWe would love to come back in the same houseFantastic: Location (beach, grocery stores etc), pretty big rooms, pool and hot tub, kitchen has everything you need, living room is nice, garden is nice, space to park, Could improve: everything is a little old (as picture suggest), kitchen is a little messy (things don't really match, pots could be bigger for a group of 8…)Wifi is great (100M speedtest), but sometimes bumpy when too many computers/phone are on it (so we removed the phones)
