Sunbathe or swim in the cool water or just walk on the white sandy beach. On breezy days watch the windsurfers, or look for sea turtles between Flat Island and Kailua Beach Park.

Take advantage of waking up early from the time zone change and walk down to the beach to watch the sun rise out of the ocean over the Mokulua Islands. Or once a month check out the full moon rise out of the ocean. Bird watching is superior over the canal at Kailua Beach park or in Kawainui Marsh. See stilts, herons, or iwa birds.

Yes, we have a minimum night stay. However, always inquire to Hawaii Sheffield House as we will take shorter stays if it is between longer stays or last minute if the room is available! Hawaii Sheffield House
has been in business over 25 years. ( Yes, we have been in business so long we are older than the internet! We are still listed in guidebooks such as the Lonely Planet , Frommers, and Foders. We have been listed in the magazine Coastal Living and the Los Angeles Times ! )

Sadly, there has been a delay in the completion of the round about leading to Lanikai. So, our street is busier than usual due to detoured traffic. Hopefully, by the time you read this construction will be completed and the detour will be removed.

Waking up to birds singing
Everything we needed was already available. Coffee grounds, scones, towels, shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Plenty of ventilation and easy to understand instructions for checkout. Will book again; the respite that Kailua provides from the touristy hustle of Honolulu can’t be quantified.

Very thoughtfully designed unit
We enjoyed staying in the Garden Suite. It was our 3rd time visiting Oahu, but first time staying on the East Side. I loved being walking distance to Kailua and Lanikai beaches and being able to walk each morning at sunrise (however, when bringing kids/ beach supplies, it is still a drive - parking was not an issue, as there is frequent turnover of people at the beaches). We felt that the unit is very well designed in terms of windows/ ventilation/ access to outdoors spaces. Rachel was also very thoughtful to have a variety of breakfast foods/ drinks available in the unit. The only downside to staying at this rental was the noise from the road, if one is spending time during the day there, especially outdoors. Overnight traffic was not an issue.

Haven near the beach
Even though it's in a busy neighborhood, Sheffield House feels private because of all the tropical plants. There are trees, vines, and colorful potted plants everywhere. A fan in a shady kitchen window did a great job of hiding noise from the road and neighbors. The AC would have further hid the sounds but we never even turned it on. We were happy with the overhead fans. The outdoor sitting area was a bit buggy so we ate in the charming indoor sitting area overlooking the patio. The kitchen was perfect for preparing breakfast or reheating take-out food from nearly Kailua town (and came stocked with some goodies.) The double bed and couch/bed were comfy and there was a nice dressing area. The big, bright shower room had plenty of hot water. There is also an outdoor shower to rinse off after the beach - and a line to hang your towels. And what a gorgeous beach! Only a 5 minute walk away. Check out the sunrises! The hosts have created a inviting space with many attractive personal touches, and all the amenities you could need. Before I arrived, Rachel always answered my emails quickly. And Paul was a wonderful host during our stay. For a place in town, near the beach, this couldn't be beat!

Charming very clean cottage, beautiful garden, very Noisy road
The cottage and patio garden area are charming, very clean, private and well maintained with nice amenities. Check in was professional, and we enjoyed our stay overall. The unit is close to the very busy street so heavy traffic noise starting around 5:30 am, and into the evening, was our only negative.

Nice Stay
The hosts were very kind and friendly. They make the check in process easy but were a little slow to respond to requests. The location is perfect as far as proximity to Kailua Town and the beach park - I walked everywhere! My biggest complaint was noise. I’m very familiar with the area and I know Kuulei is a busy road - however I did not know that it would still be used as part of a detour. It’s incredibly loud with cars and buses from early morning until about 8:30pm. The construction has an anticipated date of completion of February 2025. I was also looking forward to sweet bread, fruit, juice and coffee. I was completely surprised when it was Folgers, an apple, orange, 2 packages biscotti and 2 cans of Hawaiian Sun (flavored water). The fruit was soft and bruised. I think perhaps I was just unlucky? What I loved most was the landscaping - you can tell that they enjoy making it a tropical oasis.

A wonderful oasis
Attending our granddaughter’s 1st birthday luau which is an important traditional family event in Hawaii. The Sheffield House garden cottage was the perfect fit for us. So welcoming and comfortable, we started referring to it as home by our second night. Paul and Rachel are so friendly and hospitable. Great recommendations on all things for the area. The stroll to the beach is awesome and is then topped by the beach itself. Magnificent. Wish we had more time to spend there. Hoping to return soon.

With the beach 2 blocks away and our own oasis with private lanais, our stay here could not have been better. The small kitchen made breakfast and morning tea a breeze. There were plenty of beds to choose from and both teens had their own space. We used the mats, towels, beach chairs, and body boards provided with our unit. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely return here on our next Kailua adventure. Thank you!
