Great neighborhood stay option in Kailua
My family very much enjoyed our time at this property. It was clean, had a fully-stocked kitchen, and included some great amenities, including home entertainment, beach equipment, and easy laundry access. It's in a great location -- safe & quiet neighborhood with easy walking access to the Aikahi shopping center and the beach. There's a super comfortable king-size bed and a futon couch if you need it. The residence itself is part of a larger house.

Helpful, friendly hosts and excellent home!
This home had everything we needed for our home on the island. The location near Kailua proved perfect for us to enjoy the beautiful Hawaiian scenery away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki and Honolulu. The home is located in a quiet neighborhood, close to restaurants and beaches. The AC, Spacious bedroom, newly remodeled shower, full kitchen and beach gear, coolers, etc made it convenient for beach fun. Would stay here again!

We had a great experience! Greg and Cindy were great hosts. The property had all of the amenities of home within a quiet neighborhood. We could walk to the beach and everything is within a 30 minute drive. Kailua has become one of our favorite places and we would definitely stay here again.

Great Stay
My wife and I stayed here for 8 nights and everything was great. Check-in was easy and Greg was very friendly and willing to help, if needed. Parking was convenient and the place is only about 7 minutes from the beach and to all nearby restaurants and grocery stores. We especially liked the availability of beach gear that is included. My wife and I packed our car each morning with beach chairs, umbrella and towels. An added perk that really added to our vacation. No complaints at all with our stay. The bed was comfy, 2 A/C's (one in bedroom and 1 in living room), all kitchen amenities needed (even a blender which was great. Would definitely recommend and we would love to be back.

Great quiet little spot
This was a great little spot as a home-base for exploring the island. It is located in a nice quiet neighborhood & anytime we were there we'd have our meals outside on the covered lanai. Neighbors walking their dogs would often say hi which felt very welcoming. Well-equipped including everything you could need in the kitchen, beach gear, a cooler, cloth bags for purchases, etc. The closest beach entrance is a bit of a walk (but well worth viewing the sunrise from) & Kailua town and the main beach are a bit further away, but still just a quick drive. Greg was very responsive with answers to all our questions. Our entire stay was very relaxing!!

What a wonderful oasis
We loved out stay at Greg's place. It was clean, equipped with anything you could want and Greg was friendly and helpful. Waking up each morning, listening to the birds, reading my book on the front lanai while drinking coffee was the perfect way to start each day. Our kids appreciated the toy collection and we appreciated the very well stocked kitchen! We had to work and do distance learning during our stay and it worked really well in the space. We wish we could have stayed longer!

Pleasant & Comfortable experience
Rental is located on the owners property and has a private entrance. Entire unit is pleasantly decorated with comfortable seating. The kitchen was well equipped with generous counter space that made cooking very easy. Crock pot, Keurig coffeemaker, lots of fresh spices and ziplock bags, foil and the like were some extras that I didn't expect. Bed was comfortable. Warm lighting was plentiful and relaxing. No problems with the TV or internet.

It’s like staying with a friend’s family
I wish we’d come here sooner. Rather than dwell at some hotel, live in a home with all the necessary amenities for lounging or beaching. And, at this home, the hosts are particularly welcoming and generous. This corner unit was clean, lovely, and filled with thoughtful touches. The bed was soft and comfortable. The futon opened flat to a full size, reported as 54” to 75”. The shower was strong and hot. The wifi worked well. The dedicated parking spot, like living here, was easy.

Cozy home in a great neighborhood. Close to beach and town.
I travelled on my own to visit my daughter who works on the Island. I stayed for 3 weeks and loved the location of this house. I ran or hiked every day, afternoons spent on beautiful Kailua Beach. Owners had all the beach gear needed. Close to town and great proximity to adventuring the whole Island. I felt safe and enjoyed this home away from home feel! Also, important to me was having a full kitchen and this had everything I needed. Also, the futon in the living room allowed my daughter her space at night. Owners also gave me use of their washer/drier in the garage. Much needed! Highly recommend!

The owners are delightful, and staying here makes you feel like you are in your own home! I can't say enough good things as there aren't enough words. It's a perfect 1 bedroom apartment/house - no steps, a modern kitchen, air conditioned, and extremely comfortable. You can't go wrong booking this property!

Wonderful!
We came to Hawaii for the first time to visit our daughter who had moved there a few months earlier. The place is wonderful. It has everything you could ask for. The place is very clean and nicely appointed. The use of the washer and drier was great! The nicely arranged full kitchen helped us prepare a big festive meal for the family, as well as reheating leftovers from various restaurants. The owners are terrific. We highly recommend the place!!

Lovely one bedroom apartment with all the amenities needed!
This is a great place to stay for one person, two people or a family with small children. The kitchen is fabulous! Lots of counter space, a microwave, dishwasher, stove and oven, refrigerator and freezer with an ice maker. The living room dining area is very comfortable and has an air conditioning unit as well as cross ventilation and a ceiling fan. The bedroom also has an air conditioning unit and a ceiling fan as well. Both the living room and bedroom have TV's connected to Spectrum cable. The bathroom has a tub and shower and the sink is in a separate area! There is a high speed wi-fi, a BBQ grill, & everything you need for the beach. You can use the washer and dryer which is in the garage! There's a small porch with a table and chairs as well. The owners are delightful and helpful and live in the attached home! I highly recommend this to anyone wanting a great place in Kailua!

great place
We enjoyed staying here. The unit is very comfortable with some lovely touches - great kitchen and bedroom, comfortable recliners in the living room, well stocked, nice neighbourhood, easy parking. And it actually has a bathtub as well as shower - not all that common. Greg and Cindy were easy to communicate with. Kailua is a good base for lots on the island, and has a super beach. We recommend.

Quiet neighborhood stay at Coconut Corner
Enjoyed all the amenities of this quiet corner unit with its lovely new kitchen and beautiful plank flooring. Fairly close to the beaches and shops and restaurants in town and well equipped with cooler, beach chairs etc. Living room furniture could use some updating though as we found the couches a bit uncomfortable. Air conditioning was greatly appreciated as we were there during some stormy, humid weather.

Needs work
While Greg was a gracious and accommodating host the unit needs a redo. The furniture was kind of shabby and the place needs to be upscaled. The mattress was too soft for us but that’s a personal preference. The bedroom light had no wall switch but was worked from a string hanging over the middle of the bed which was difficult to do when in bed. Overall, it was just adequate.

Ouch - that shabby comment stings. I really don't want to sound defensive - I realize people have vastly different tastes in decor. But I just want to point out that quite a significant amount has been invested in this rental recently to completely re-do the kitchen, the flooring is new, the split air conditioning is new and after putting in AC, we needed to upgrade all the windows to hold that nice cold air in. And then after new windows - we had to have the house painted, of course. I'm not sure what kind of upscale amenities you might have missed or been looking for, but I do realize a vacation rental is a different experience from staying at a luxury hotel.

Well appointed and excellent location
We spent just about three months here. We found the unit to be clean, comfortable and very well appointed. Having the A/C was a huge plus, but when the trades were blowing the breeze through the unit was truly amazing. The unit is located in close proximity to the beach, the H-3, Marine Corps Base Hawaii and Kailua Town is only a mile + away. Cindy and Greg were wonderful hosts and were not the least bit invasive, but super friendly and helpful as needed. We look forward to coming back to Hawaii in the future and hope to rent this unit again as it met all of our needs and exceeded all of our expectations.

Coconut Corner was a Cute spot!
We stayed at CC for 2 nights, at the tail end of our trip to Hawaii. We wanted to spend some time on the north/east side of the island and are so glad that we did. We actually ran into Greg when we first got there, and he let us in, gave us a tour and took us through what was around the neighbourhood. What a guy. The unit is attached to his home where he lives with his family. His office is attached to one side of the rental unit but other than hearing some voices in the mornings, it was really quiet. It is in a more residential area and you'll need to drive a bit to get to where you're going, but after staying at a resort hotel in Lahaina, I'll take a rental like this any day. The unit has been nicely updated and we have zero complaints about the set-up. Wine opener (albeit a little sticky) was on point, inspired some Christmas gift ideas. We spent the 1.5 days we were there beaching (Lanikai) and hiking (Pill Box, drove over to Koko, too chicken to do Stairway), shopped at the Foodland that was 15 min away, spent the evenings eating on the little patio outside and watching movies (great channel selection when you're too pooped to do anything else). There are also a pair of lazboy recliners that will make your trip. Air conditioners were also a god-send, and the house is solar-powered. Definitely recommend for couples or families looking for a low-key, low-maintenance stay, that plan on doing a lot of activities during the day but want to come back to a comfortable place to stay at night.
