Kailua is the best town on the island and is home to Kailua Beach -- consistently one of the top-ranked beaches in the world. Located on the Windward side of the mountain, the greenery and landscape is lush and gorgeous. Driving over the mountain pass from the airport into town is one of the most beautiful drives in the world -- similar to the Road to Hana in Maui. Kailua has very few rental properties and hotels, so it is free from the congestion of Honolulu, while still being very close to the main attractions on the island. There is a very modern shopping center with a Target, Whole Foods, boutique shops and restaurants. Popular visitor sites nearby include Lanikai Snorkeling (12 minutes), Pill Box Hike (11 minutes), Pali Lookout (20 minutes), Royal Hawaiian Golf Club (17 minutes), Pearl Harbor (30 minutes), Sea Life Park (20 minutes), Haunauma Bay (30 minutes), and the North Shore (50 minutes).

Kailua Beach offers 3 miles of fine, soft white sand along a crescent shaped bay bordered by clear turquoise waters that have a consistent year-round temperature of about 75 degrees F (25 C). The steady off shore trade winds, water temperature and protective reef make this bay a popular area for water sports including Kayaking, Stand-Up Paddling, Surfing, Boogie Boarding, Swimming and Kite Surfing.

Callouts:
Limited parking for 3 vehicles
Home is configured in 2 sleeping areas -- access to 3 of the bedrooms requires the use of a separate, private entry
No pets allowed in this home

Fantastic Island Getaway
From the moment we opened the gate and saw the pool, to finding and picking our rooms , our arrival was seamless. Only issue ( which has been previously mentioned ) was the spa .We did need some help with the iPad to get it working & also needed maintenance to get the heating working. Having said this it all happened and it was the only issue we had . Awesome place to stay and share quality time with our family . Could not rate this as a place for a family or big group of friends to stay more highly !

First time in Hawaii
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: Outstanding property! All that they claim and more. The beach was not even a two minute walk. Plus the beach was beautiful and maybe 10 people on it! Back to the house, we all had plenty of space and privacy. Beautifully remodeled. They even left us a great welcome basket that had so much stuff we couldn’t finish. Only about a mile to everything restaurant and store. Loved Cinnamon’s for breakfast. Host was very attentive and reachable. Seriously nothing bad to say!!

What more can you ask for?!
We stayed here with a large group for my 50th birthday. We were a mix of kids & adults. Four families total. First positive, when booking this location the communication was excellent with the property management company who recently took over responsibility. I had booked a different property originally and the communication was neither prompt nor polite. Next, the property manager offered to be there when we checked in to provide a tour. I turned it down only because I thought a long flight with kids was going to have me at my wits end. When we showed up, she had made sure to swing by and get everything turned on and ready for us. So kind and professional! The updates to the home were excellent. It was extremely comfortable and each family felt as though they had their own private space. The location of the kitchen was perfect for all of us to meet and hang out. Though there are homes very close to this one the amount of trees and foliage on the property make it feel like your own little secluded paradise. The pool and hot tub were, of course, a ginormous hit with all of us. The real kicker was the very short, private, and protected walk to the best spot on this strip of Kailua Beach. The home location is far enough away from the state park that you feel you’re enjoying time in your own private beach area. Overall, though we did experience a few “glitches“ with some aspects I cannot say enough positive things about how the management company handled it. So polite and prompt.

Everything was newly refurbished and they had a beautiful welcome basket. The spa was nice, we couldn’t use the pool it didn’t have heat. The beach was beautiful and a three minute walk. We really loved the small town and farmers markets. We plan to return. Thank you for sharing your home.

Family Trip
After returning home I asked everyone to give me some feedback on the overall experience. First off, the property is just as advertised, it is a beautiful property, and easy access to the beach. Here is some takeaways from all of us. There was a bedroom in the open area just outside the inner two bedrooms, this area is referred to as the open bedroom area. It was notably hot, the AC was not functioning in this part of the house. I contacted the hosts, and they sent an AC repairman on our last day at the property. Several of our guests had reported a seeing a couple cockroaches around the house, however, a regularly scheduled exterminator arrived to spray. We were not concerned, just had to be diligent in keeping doors and outside areas closed. After connecting with everyone, we considered these issues to be minor. The check in process was simple and easy to follow. Everyone seemed to have a great time, and really enjoyed the property and the surrounding area. I have read other people having issues with the hot tub, however, we had no problems with the hot tub. The only real complaint I have is learning that shaved ice is a fancy snow-cone. A great family memory, and one we will not soon forget, had a wonderful time.

Beautiful Property Needs Many Repairs
The property hosts need to make a lot of repairs before listing this as occupant-ready. The pool and spa heater didn’t work for 5 of the seven days we were there, there was a gas leak that wasn’t fixed until the end of our stay, the couch/futon was completely broken and unable to serve as a bed, one of two kitchen sinks and washer/dryers was out of service, a shower was broken, among other things. We had to accommodate a stream of repair people and inconveniences during our family reunion which made us very unhappy. Also, some of the bedrooms aren’t private and are walkthrough spaces that didn’t accommodate the couples in our party. The downstairs king bedroom smells heavily of mold — no one in our party wanted to sleep there. Several of us ended up sleeping in the living room on the floor or couch. AvantStay staff were friendly over the phone but not very effective in solving the problems. And after all the problems we had to deal with, they refunded us a measly amount that didn’t cover even one night of our stay. We paid a premium for a luxury property and ended up extremely disappointed.

Could be great but only good
Location and access to beach fantastic. The layout of bedrooms worked well for us. First few days were frustrating because communication wasn’t good with management. It took a while to get the towels, sheets, instructions for turning things off and on. Also the barbecue was unusable. But they became more responsive and we had a good vacation. Special thanks to Tom, who helped us get a barbecue and appreciated our frustration.

Family Thanksgiving & Birthday Celebration
Our three generation family celebrated Thanksgiving & several birthdays. This house was perfect for all of us. Two extra kitchens gave us plenty of room for drinks & any leftovers. The terrace overlooking the pool was a beautiful location for morning coffee!! A very brief walk to the beach was the highlight, with beautiful sand and ocean views!! This is a lovely home and was enjoyed by all in my family!!!

Amazing family vacation
We had a wonderful time staying in this amazing house in Kailua. The check in process was smooth. We were met by a host who gave us a tour of the house. Our first impression of the house was extremely favorable. The pictures match the house. The only slightly unusual feature of the house was that one of the queen beds is in an "open" section of the house. This bed would be more ideal for a couple of younger of children, but you are a couple who wants privacy, there is no privacy in this bedroom. I would recommend a picture/floorplan of this section of the house. Otherwise, the pool/hot tub/back yard are fantastic. The water was clean. The hot tub did require a bit of communication with the property manager to learn how to use (the iPAD that controls the hot tub was not working), but the property manager was very helpful. We got the hot tub heated and bubbly in no time. The house was perfectly clean, and the landscaping is great. The kitchen is great! All the appliances worked perfectly. We could not figure out how to get the espresso machine to work, but thankfully the coffee maker was just fine. There are plenty of plates, glasses, silverware, etc. There are plenty of towels, and the laundry was easy to use. We did towel laundry almost every day as the amazing pool and beach (2 houses away!) were used several times per day. Overall, we would definitely stay at this house again. I highly recommend this house for large family gatherings or a few smaller families who just want to hang out.

Gorgeous, but ask questions!
The house, location, and property were all amazing. We were disappointed that when we arrived, we were told the iPad to control the spa was broken.. however the entire spa was broken and remained cold. We called to have it fixed but it took some time and we missed out on using it quite a bit. Additionally the coffee maker didn’t work which is not fun to find out when you wake up ready for coffee. Lastly, even if you turn off your music and are speaking at a normal volume outside past 10pm, neighbors WILL call police and complain. The police confirmed we were not loud, there was no issue, and that this neighborhood is quick to complain. Broken spa + no coffee + not allowed to be outside unless whispering past 10pm put a bit of a damper on the stay.

Hawaiian family Vacation
The property was beautiful, just like the pictures. The beach access was more than I could ask for. We did take advantage of the grocery stock which was great and they had most things we needed. All staff that I worked with was extremely helpful and friendly. We did have some issues but they were all handled quickly and to the best of their ability. Nothing can ever be perfect, but I do highly recommend this place. Avantstay did a great job managing the property. I would definitely stay again if I ever are it back to Hawaii.

We loved the house, pool and location so near the beach
The house is wonderfully laid out to accommodate 3 families. We had our 2 grown children and their families of 4 each with us. Everyone was comfortable. The pool was absolutely the hit for our 4 grandchildren ages 6 to 9. They actually enjoyed it more than any of the beaches they were dragged to see. The house has everything we needed to cook and share meals.

A Hawaiian oasis
Really beautiful place. Enclosed yard/pool area is gorgeous - landscaping phenomenal- view of green out almost every window - interior is gorgeous, full of island details - Kailua beach / bay a very short walk out the driveway and down a path. Upon arrival no electricity to parts of the house including the AC to the living quarters by pool. Pool/Jacuzzi heater wasn’t working. Took us til 2nd day to find a sub panel in pantry with tripped breaker. Took til afternoon of 3rd day to get heater working. The floor plan as displayed online does not accurately show how 4 bedrooms are connected - that you have to walk through someone eles’s room to get in and out. This home is in residential neighborhood and one neighbor is fierce about turning on a very bright light that shines into back patio - they then begin to flash it on and off at 9pm. Says 3 car parking - and we did - you need to be a very good driver, with help, to stack them in. That’s about it. Oh - a little surprise the day before we were to leave - prop. Mngr. showed up with cleaning lady to check us out. Quickly resolved. Prop. Mngr. seems like a nice person.
