Kailua Beach, 2 friends

This unit was selected for location across from beach. Entry to unit is awkward as you walk thru another unit’s lanai. The property was listed as ‘sleeps 3’, but there is only a double bed and fold-out pad for the floor. Wicker furniture provided limited clean area to prepare food and the sink was in bathroom. Pool was lovely.

Amazing location!!

We had a great time staying at this property! We enjoyed the hot tub every night, and the very short walk to the beach. Also, some of the best coffee in town is in walking distance as well at the market. Also, they were very nice for a quick bite as well. We loved every second of staying here, I would come again!!

Kailua Rental

We loved our time at the Kailua rental. The apartment is right across the road from Kailua Beach and a short drive to Lanikai Beach. The snorkeling at Lanikai is excellent. We also swam at Kailua most days. The rental has all the beach amenities you could need. Also,Buzzes restaurant is a short walk as well as a local store and delicious shaved ice.

Stay in windward side of Oahu

It was a challenged finding accommodations in Kailua area or nearby city in windward side of Oahu. But I am very glad to have found this hidden oasis. For a couple, the Sunrise suite is perfect, no kitchen or stove but has microwave and fridge which is enough for us. We loved walking across the street to Kailua beach park watching sunrise and swimming in the morning. Lanikai beach is also walking distance from this property for a more calmer waves, parking might be a challenge to find. The pool is available to use at this property, has beach chairs. Short drive to town’s Target and other shops. Can also hike to nearby Lanikai Pillbox. Overall experience was pleasant and wonderful. Property manager Zack, were helpful giving detailed instructions and directions, and owner Steve were also pleasant to speak with.

Worth every penny!

My wife and I used to live on Oahu and had low expectations for cleanliness of the Vrbo and mostly cared about the location. Well we were SO pleasantly surprised by how incredibly clean the room was and it was very spacious. The bed was soft and comfortable and there were plenty of extra blankets if needed. We sleot comfortably at night with the fans and AC unit, and the hosts left us plenty of towels for our week’s stay. There are also beach chairs that we used all week. We loved being so close to Kalapawai market and Kailua beach. Also— this is BIG for Hawaii, we did not see one cockroach ! 10/10 for cleanliness. We would love to stay here again!

Location, location, location

Cute unit literally across the street from one of the best beaches in all of Hawaii. (Bed is very soft, which is good for some & bad for others). Unit is small but well equipped unless you intend to do major cooking. Has AC but in Nov., the lovely winds were more enjoyable way to cool off. Pool is wonderful; clean, well lit and great size for times you want a dip or something different than ocean. Plenty of grocery stores and restaurants within 5-10 min drive. Nice off street parking. Nice owners! We definitely recommend this unit.

Great Location

I want to start by saying that this place's location is perfect, right across the street from Kailua Park and a 2-minute walk to Buzz's Restaurant. The place is small but comfortable. I didn't realize there was no kitchenette, but we made it work. The owner was downstairs and very nice and helpful. He had chairs, umbrellas, two bikes, and everything you need for a beach day. The only two things I have to mention is that the parking is quite tight. I rented a small Corolla and still had a little problem. If the other groups have large cars, then parking is a little tough. Not impossible, just a little tight. The second and the most bothersome part is the amount of little bugs. We think they are little ants. They are everywhere. We never got bit, but just annoying. This bug problem was from day one. We didn't dare eat in the room thinking this would make the problem worse. We still enjoyed our trip to one of the most beautiful places in the world, Kailua and Lanakai Beach.

Truth in advertising, not so much

This is a studio not a “one bedroom.” Only sink is the bathroom one. No tub or way to keep dishes and bathroom activities separate. Air conditioner is too loud to be used. Bathroom has no hooks. No way to hang wet towels or bathing suits. Ugliest possible artificial plants abound. The pool has a very small jacuzzi that only the owners know how to start. There is another unit posted as 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, no mention that the “2nd” bathroom s downstairs by the pool no relationship to the actual unit. It is directly across the street from the awesome Kailua beach. That is the saving grace.

A Decent Stay Overall

I'm struggling to review this property. The listing is accurate, and the owners are honest in regards to the pros and cons. Both were responsive to texts and VRBO messages. The room, though small, was adequate. The main reason I deduct a star was due to how hot the room was. It was humid in Hawaii and, thus, difficult to keep the apartment cool even with the A/C unit and both fans on high. The worst part is that I was jet lagged the first day and sick (weak stomach), and the heat made that situation worse. The location was convenient for us as we wanted to be near the wedding party we travelled with. It was very close to really pretty beaches and enough food options to enjoy a variety. It was also way less crowded than the Honolulu side which was a blessing when driving. Considering rental options are slim on that side of the island, I understand the high nightly price. Still, it's difficult to give rave reviews when I've stayed in immaculate 3BR beachfront condos with full kitchens, multiple swimming pools, and various amenities for the same price, even less, in Florida. You really do not get enough bang for your buck here. Because of this, I cannot give 5 stars, BUT it is still an accurate listing for this rental, and the beaches nearby are gorgeous! The property owners were kind and helpful, as well. The beach supplies were also a very nice touch, and so were the toiletries they provided. As long as you know what to expect, you will not be disappointed!

Not as Described - Not recommended

I don't understand all the 5 stars given to these properties, unless reviews get filtered. The only nice aspect of this property is the location, cross the street from the beautiful kailua Beach. It is not even a studio, it is a queen bed hotel room. There is no even a sink to wash the breakfast cups or glasses, you need to use the bathroom sink. There is only a refrigerator and a microwave. There isn't countertop, it is so tight, that it is hard to even prepare a coffee in the morning and put some plate to have breakfast. Then there is no private patio or balcony where you can have a drink or coffee in the morning, since there is no table inside either, and you have to walk through someone else patio to go down the stairs. So, no privacy. Then, you need to go through a very messe garage to get out and reach your car. We had a chair next to the front door that disappeared half way our stay and none one even had the kindness to tell us. We won't go back for sure, we do not recommend this property, and I think we are done using VRBO if we cannot trust the reviews and end up with something so different from what expected.

Great spot

You can’t beat Kailua/Lanikai for location with fantastic beaches for wind/sail sports, swimming, even boogie boarding and minor surfing, local hiking on the pillbox trail and a walk to town with lots of great places to eat. Steve and Susie were friendly. Their son Zac will be taking over management. Was hoping for a bike upgrade since the same squeaky bikes were there 30 years ago but that’s minor. Didn’t use them this time. Other beach chairs etc were adequate and nice to be able to use. Didn’t use the pool/spa but they were clean. No good airflow with windows open, even on very windy days so had to sleep with somewhat noisy AC and fans on. The room was smaller than we expected. No place for two of us to eat. Chair at desk was too tall for legs to fit below it and we are not big. Nice to have a TV with Roku app availability and wifi. Parking spaces are small so don’t bring a big car. Even a jeep is pushing it. Our fav place to eat at was Paia Fish Market, 1.4 miles away, easy walk. Nearby kayak rental would be great but we ran out of time. The kitesurfing lessons seem very expensive, so learn someplace else before you go. Hoping to come back to Kailua again.
