Perfect
This was the perfect property and place for us to begin our Hawaiian stay. We moved away from Kailua six years ago and it was our first visit back. The view of Kailua beach and the ocean from the room's window is gorgeous. Waking to the sound of the waves crashing is wonderful. The unit was immaculate. The bed was very comfy, and the shower was also very good. Communication with the owner, Shari, is excellent. We highly recommend this beautiful little slice of heaven on earth. Aloha.

This is our second stay at Shari’s property. We love it here. It has everything we need for a very relaxing stay. Shari is very attentive and easy to communicate with. Beach is steps away and we loved waking up with the sunrise at our window. Can’t wait to come back

Locals Only Experience
We loved this property! Being right on the beach was so perfect. This area is not touristy and really has provides the loc'd out experience. Loved the tiny kitchen so we could have breakfast out on the beach. We drove down to Lanikai for a beach day and had an amazing night over at Haleiwa Joe's. The only thing I would change is to switch the lightbulbs in the lamps on the bedside tables from blue light to warm toned bulbs, but we are sensi! Shari was an absolute delight and was so cool + great with communication. We will be back ASAP! Thank you :)

Loved having the beach right there!!
Waking up, making coffee and sitting outside on the beach!! Unit is fine for two people. Clean place. A/c is somewhat loud but can at least be used to cool off the unit. Many fine restaurants nearby! A spot to enjoy the beauty of the water and to explore the island!

Beautiful, clean but not very private
The rental was clean, had lots of dishware/cleaning supplies, closet space; the location and view from the window stunning. However, the rental is sandwiched between the host's home and another rental, and even shares sliding doors with both- one door just locked, and another locked with a sign saying do not open. The front lawn is shared between all, and the large window looking out, while partially tinted, shows right into the bed/living area and made it feel very un-private. The entry door has little window hinges that don't truly close either, which makes the rental always open to the outside, and the entrance to the other rental is right next door, another neighbor right across from the entryway. I was hoping for a private stay with my partner, but we didn't even feel comfortable using loud voices depending on time of day. I would book again because it was clean and the host was reliable, but only if I'm looking to interact with neighbors. Not ideal for a private couple getaway. I also asked months in advance about contactless check-in, explaining that we would be arriving very late after an evening show 1 hour away, but the host didn't reply until the day of check-in, initially expecting to meet up to exchange keys. It is not set up for contact-less, so expect to meet the host and see them around, enjoying their front lawn as much as you hope to do.

Beachfront Beauty!
We loved staying here! Hearing the ocean at night, waking up to that remarkable view of the beach, incredible sunrises and long walks on the beach. Also a short distance to Kailua town with shops and restaurants. The unit was very clean and communication with the owner was very easy. We can’t wait to come back!

A piece of paradise on oahu
Shari was the best. She kept communication for checkin and check out. Unfortunately, we never actually met her in person. The AC and ceiling fan is fantastic for night sleeping. The kitchen was well stocked with all your needs. The little pocket ceiling windows bring in the daytime light so perfectly. We enjoyed the beach both days. The chairs and umbrella are a bonus for sure. Everything you need for the beach was there. We were only 7 minutes away from family which made it so convenient for us to hang out. When back on Oahu we will most definitely stay here.

Wonderful Place
Extremely clean and very well appointed(beach gear, a few guide books, dining utensils, nice linens, luggage rack), we did not want for anything! Location is perfect: sunrises, islands, rainbows, just steps from the beach but also secluded by dunes and shrubbery. Not a 'knock' at all, just sharing for others: the vacation rental is on the small side but it worked great for us (2 former backpackers). We will stay here again the next time we visit Oahu.

Had a wonderful stay
Great location, quiet area, nicely updated studio.. Everything in the description was spot on. Even without a stove, we had everything we needed for our 5 night stay. Shari the owner in the main house was a gracious host, we loved meeting her; she communicated with us often and provided lots of useful information and guidance. There's another unit that Shari rents out, so pay attention to parking instructions for the shared driveway. Loved the Kailua vibe, lots of good places to eat. Would stay again at Shari's the next time we are on the main island.

Kailua Beach Couples Apartment
This host has created a very comfortable smaller apartment that has the most amazing directly on the beach setting. Step out the door to one of the most swimmable, walkable beaches in the world. Kailua Beach will usually have some waves and surf for playing in and lite body surfing but it is especially a wonderful swimming beach. The hosts cute apartment has lots of space to get things out of suitcases. Bath fixtures are clean and unit has multiple simple appliances to make your day easy. This isn’t a place for groups or parties…just you and your special someone.
