Clean and Cozy!
Lovely place, pictures don’t do it justice! The kitchen is great and has everything you need. Everything was very clean and the beds are comfortable. On the very few instances there was a problem Judy responded immediately to help. One thing to keep in mind is on the windward side everyone leaves their windows open so sound travels. I have 2 young, loud boys so this was a little uncomfortable for me, I hope we didn’t disturb her too much. We’ve rented other houses nearby with the concrete fence between the neighbors that may have been better than an Ohana/guest house in my particular case while the kids are young, so that’s just something to keep in mind. Overall everything was great!

Great Stay in Kailua
The vacation rental was fantastic for us. A short walk to Kailua beach, easy access to both central Kailua and Honolulu, and comfortable furniture. We had a wonderful time, and it was a lot of fun chatting with Judy.

A wonderful stay
We just spent an exceptional month at Judy’s beach house and it is a real pleasure to write our impressions. Judy’s beach house is in a wonderful location; indeed at a short walking distance from a beautiful long sandy Kailua beach. Judy has thought of every detail that makes one’s stay comfortable and enjoyable. The decoration is tasteful and blends well with the Hawaiian spirit: the living space is well thought of, the bedrooms and bedding are very comfortable, the kitchen is extremely well equipped and made it possible to prepare family meals at home. Everything was generously provided, from bathroom towels, to paper towels, many condiments, water filter, so many small details that you rarely find in rentals anywhere! Judy provided beach chairs, snorkeling masks, umbrellas. Without these we would not have been able to enjoy the beach as we did. Also Judy kindly made available to us a lot of useful visitor documentation and information on Oahu and Kailua. Most importantly, Judy is an amazing host: her welcoming was heartwarming, after travelling for many many hours it was a blessing to land at her beach house. Judy puts a lot of love and attention in her place, not only is it beautiful, but is clean, and well-kept and maintained. She is a very responsive and helpful host with plenty of great ideas and advice, and she is fun to chat with. Our stay at Judy’s is to be remembered and we would love to have the chance to come back!

What an AMAZING stay!
Oh wow! I don't know how to review our stay at this wonderful place that would do it justice. Our experience was nothing short of perfect. My wife and I stayed 30 days while I was on business in Hawaii. The owner, Judy, was a wonderful host and the high standards she sets for her property and guests cannot be overstated. The property was exactly or even better than described. The beach is so close and easy to get to. The property has so many amenities for guest to use and enjoy such as beach umbrella, beach chairs, boogie boards, coolers etc. The property itself is immaculately maintained with every possible thing one would find in their own home. The kitchen had every utensil you could possible want and a BBQ grill outside that is great for grilling. The location is excellent as it is in the small community of Kailua where one can find nice restaurants and an abundance of grocery stores, small eateries without the commercialization found in Waikiki. The drive to the airport is 20 minutes and for most of the drive avoids the usual traffic which can be significant as you go to Honolulu. There is no chance we would travel again to Hawaii without trying to book this property in the future. Judy is great, the property is fantastic, the town is nice, the beach is awesome - for us there was no disappointment of any kind. Lastly, Judy maintains this property to a very high standard. To any guest thinking of booking here, please show the respect and care for it as if it was your own home. Its not a hotel and she will make you feel like you are welcome family.

Stay in paradise with a short walk to the beach
Our stay in Kailua was fantastic. We stayed over a month in mid-August through mid-September and it was a perfect location. The host, Judy, was incredibly helpful. It was our first time to Hawaii, and she was very friendly and eager to give any advice we asked for. She communicated everything clearly in advance which eased any nerves we had about staying for that long in a place we hadn't been previously. The property itself was very clean and modern, with traditional Hawaiian furniture in the main living space. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen got a lot of use and had everything that we needed. The location of the property was very close to the beach, and a short walk to Kailua town. It's also close to both the H3 and the Pali Highways which make it a quick drive to get across the island to Honolulu. The neighborhood was very safe, and a perfect place to take daily walks. We did quite a bit of hiking in the area and the location placed us close to many beautiful hikes. We'll rave about this stay for the rest of our lives and would completely recommend staying at Judy's to anyone. We hope to be back.

Judy's place
We stayed for 30 days and Judy was extremely accommodating and went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed. Location is perfect, one block from Kailua Beach. Close enough to walk a surfboard to the beach. Shopping center with restaurants and grocery just a short walk away. A nice yards for the kids. Overall a great experience and place. Highly recommended.

Fantastic place to stay, so much room to move!
We loved our stay here. Family of 4 and we mostly lived upstairs thanks to the extra mattresses. Judy was there when we arrived and we were shown how everything works. Judy had thought of all the little things and our stay was very comfortable. The beach was walking disantance which was great for walks in the evening with the kids. Mahalo Judy for our stay, it went too quickly!!

Perfect
Couldn't ask for anything more. Everything was perfect. The place was as good as I expected (given all the positive reviews). Nice short walk to a quiet beach, very clean, excellent host... Highly recommend to anyone wanting to spend some quality and peaceful time in Hawaii. My visit was wife/husband + three mature kids (19, 17, 15). Cable/dish channels were extensive (Worldcup 2018 now) and WiFi was excellent--a nice bonus to Hawaiian vacation.

Slice of Aloha
We felt at home the moment we arrived at Judy's beach house. The property is roomy, bright, clean and private. My teenage son loved having his own large room downstairs, complete with big screen TV. The master bedroom upstairs was quite spacious and comfortable, with a huge walk-in closet. The bathroom was clean and well appointed with plenty of towels. The living area was large and quite comfy. Judy has everything you need to enjoy your stay, The walk to the beach is quick and easy. We would definitely stay again if we return to Kailua.

Judy Dancer's home is lovely....VRBO STINKS!!!
Judy's home is all that it is advertised to be. I recommend it. But don't do business with VRBO. I believe they exaggerate the urgency of "booking now". We booked in January for a stay April 1-4. On January 4, VRBO hit my account for the full expense ($1408.20) including the security deposit. So my money was in their hands for 3 full months before our stay at Judy's home. Today is 4-12-18 and the security deposit was returned today. They had that money for more than 13 weeks. Judy did not get paid until after we left. Oahu is lovely; the Pearl Harbor tour is worth the trip alone. But find some other way than using VRBO or any of their affiliates to book a place to stay.

Good location. Well equipped.
We were parents, plus our son and daughter-in-law. Bedrooms spacious and well separated. D-i-L's parents also came for several meals. The spacious sitting, dining, kitchen area (well equipped) was excellent for the six of us at those times which was important. The place is as per the photos. Close to nice beach -7 min walk-and has a good collection of boogie boards, buckets, fins/face masks. 7-10 min drive to good town centre - you need a car here. Judy was very helpful, friendly as well as very clear about her rules. Downsides? Living is upstairs away from nice back garden and good small BBQ. Hot water is solar heated which didn't work (not enough sun) in December and we have told Judy the electric supplement is inadequate - she said she would have it looked at.

Great house, close to the beach!
We really enjoyed our stay at this house. Judy gave us all the info we needed, and the home was very comfortable for our family to stay for the week. It's close to the beach, but we did have to walk a little bit down the road to go to the nearest public access (so not directly across the street), but that beach was well worth it!

Great Stay Close to Beach
I have stayed in Kailua through VRBO twice. This is by far the better of the two places. I stayed with my 3 children comfortably. Air conditioned, clean, access to washer and dryer, and more. The apartment is above Judy's garage, it's clean and a comfortable place to relax after a long day at the beach. It is a short 5 minute walk down the street to beach access. The apartment is well air conditioned with 3 units. Just do Judy a favor and don't run them when not in the apartment. They cool quickly as soon as you turn on. Also, she has plenty of towels, beach toys and chairs. We loved our stay and will definitely be back. This is great for a 4 person family or just a couples get away. Visit Waikiki if you want, but Kailua and Judy's beach house is the place to be. Thanks Judy! We loved meeting you!

A great place to stay in Oahu- windward side
My family including two teenagers stayed for 1/2 week in April at Judy's rental and after touring several places in Oahu, it was a hit. The location is great, a block from the beach and the neighborhood is really nice for walking or biking. You might need a car to go to restaurants and other places but the convenience of a fully equipped kitchen plus ample space will make your stay very pleasant. Judy was very accommodating and willing to share key tips and options for entertainment. I would go back without hesitation. Mahalo!

Wonderful Vacation Spot
What a great experience staying at Judy's beautiful vacation home! Everything was exactly as promised and Judy couldn't have been a more accommodating and gracious host. We especially enjoyed the great beachside access every morning and evening. All the amenities were perfect for our week stay and we definitely will book her again on our next visit to Oahu!

Great quiet Kailua location - close to beach, highway access, and town!
Judy's place had everything on our checklist. Plenty of space for two teenage boys to get away from their annoying parents and at the same time great family areas for us to have meals together and talk. The washer/dryer allowed us to pack light and Judy seems to have most of everything you might forget to bring like sunscreen and shampoo. The boogie boards are well-worn but work fine and it is nice to not have to buy beach chairs. We often used the BBQ (again, well-worn but works fine) and the very large backyard during our stay. The kitchen is fully furnished. The windows let in lots of sunlight, but if you prefer it you can draw the blinds and turn on the A/C; it stays nice and cool. The house is one block away from one of the main public beach accesses for that end of Kailua beach and a couple blocks away from highway access and Safeway. Very comfortable beds, very clean, and a sweet and wonderful owner.
