Location, location, location.

This apartment's back gate is about a block from one of the best beaches in the U.S. (Kailua Beach), and a 20-minute walk from another of America's best beaches (Lanikai Beach). It's about a 2-minute walk from a small market, a very good restaurant, kayak/board rentals, shave ice and more, and a brief bike ride (in bike lanes, on bikes provided by the landlord) from downtown Kailua. And it's a 30-minute drive from Waikiki and an easy drive away from the North Shore. The unit is a great base for not only enjoying Kailua and it's surrounds, but also exploring the island. The owners, who live above the apartment, were remarkably responsive via email, phone and text message, both before and during our stay. Though we didn't have any emergencies, it was good to know they were paying attention, and their answers to our questions about restaurants, boards, etc., were very helpful. The apartment is spacious, private, clean, quiet, comfortable and well-equipped. The beds are great, and there are plenty of towels and pillows, as well as the necessary small and large appliances. My adult daughter and I had everything we needed (except for a few minor items that I'll mention to the owners). I'd rent this apartment again in a heartbeat. I hope to return with my husband next time.

Outstanding

We loved our stay. The location was perfect - walking distance to the most beautiful beaches in the world. The space was perfect for us, especially the outdoor shower and patio with a big plumeria tree.

3 Minute Walk to the Beach!

Excellent location. Head out the back gate, take a right, and walk three minutes to the beach. Head out the back gate, take a left, and walk two minutes to Kalawapai Market for coffee and breakfast/lunch sandwiches (and a bottle of wine to take back to your place). Hop in your car and it’s literally less than ten minutes to anyplace in town. My family of four (husband and kids—17 and 14) had plenty of room. Check in/check out was super simple.

The location is literally a 5 minute walk from the most beautifull beach on Ohahu. The apartment is well furnished with all the basic necessities, and much more. It is a clean, comfortable and quiet place to stay. Tom and Kara were very friendly, kind, and available. We would definately return or recommend.

Great place to stay on O’ahu

I would recommend staying at this property. The apartment was as described on vrbo. The ocean was only 1 block away. The owners lived at the same location and were available to answer our questions. If staying on O’ahu, the town of Kailua is a great option.

Excellent Location/Family Vacation

Our stay was excellent in every way. My spouse and our 3 children (middle school and elementary) were perfectly comfortable. The way the house is set up, we felt we had privacy. The interior was clean and comfortable for our family. We cooked and grilled at home quite a bit and the kitchen had everything we needed. It was lovely to eat outside on the patio. They also created a lovely guide for eateries in the area. The outdoor shower was perfect for washing sand off feet and snorkel gear. They even had a clothes line set up for swimsuits and towels. A beautiful beach is a very short walk, maybe 5 minutes at most. An easy, flat walk. There is also a pizza place and Hawaiian shaved ice about an 8 minute walk the other direction. The hosts were wonderful and were able to answer questions or make recommendations. They really thought of everything at their place, from the design layout to the amenities. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay there again. Highly recommended.

Perfect Place Near Kailua Beach

Tom & Kara, Mahalo so much for having us at your property. It was perfect for four adults and had everything we needed. Being close to the Beach (5 minute walk) is such a huge plus. Spacious, and comfortable with a large Lanai. Highly recommended to others! Thanks again, Kevin & Family BC Canada.

Best family vacation

We traveled to Hawaii for 8 days with our two kids (ages 8 and 2). This house was perfect and we walked to the beach everyday since it was literally across the street. Tom and Kara were amazing host! They had a pack and play for our little one and all the beach toys a kid could have. We will be back again! Thank you again!

Home away from home.

We really enjoyed our stay, the accommodations were perfect for our needs. Everything met our expectations. The location was an ideal setting to grab a quick coffee in the morning or a stroll to the beach, both were 2 minutes away. The hosts were very friendly and gave us some great information about the town and different activities to do on the island. we would definitely come back again.

Perfect location and great amenities

This place is in the perfect location to explore both Kailua beach and town. You can walk to the beach out the back gate and town is really close. The kitchen is fully stocked with all of the appliances and dishes you need to eat a few meals at home if you want and the house has WiFi and cable/Netflix too. We had a great stay with our family and would highly recommend it to others.

Great location, great property

This house was super close to Kailua beach, (like a 3 minute walk to sand, another 2 to water), and also an easy walk to Lanikai beach (an easy mile, which trail/sidewalk the whole way). It was also close to town, two farmers' markets, and lots of restaurants. The house came with boogie boards and other beachy equipment, plenty of towels - both for at beach and at home - and an outdoor shower to rinse off sand before going in the house. The kitchen was fully stocked with pots and pans as well as all the condiments we could ask for (oil, butter, seasonings, soy sauce, etc.), saving on us having to buy all the things just for a week of food. The owners, who live next door, were very kind and responded quickly to our questions. There were five of us - three kids (6, 8, and 10) and two adults. The house was a great size for the five of us, and there was always enough hot water for our post-beach showers. I can't think of any complaints, and we will definitely try to stay here again if/when we're ever back in the area.

The best place to stay whether you choose to relax or explore.

Tom and Kara are wonderful and gracious hosts. They respected our privacy and were always enjoyable to visit with. Our kids loved making new friends and playing in the neighborhood. The home is clean, well stocked, and the beds are very comfortable. We were walking distance to the beach (our favorite!!) and market & deli (our favorite for coffee and breakfast!!). This is a great base for days relaxing on the beach, or exploring all that beautiful Oahu has to offer. We would definitely stay here again and recommend to all who visit. Thank you so much for sharing your home. We feel blessed to have met you all.

Perfect spot for a beach vacation! Right across from Kailua Beach

We had a marvelous week-long stay here, and would not hesitate to come back again. I definitely recommend this apartment if you like spending time on the beach. Beautiful Kailua beach is just out the back gate and about a 4 minute walk. It's the perfect walking beach, and was never too crowded. There are also a market, pizza place, and island snow within a 5 minute walk. Tom and Kara were very welcoming, and the apartment is private and lovely. We had everything we needed in the kitchen, and they even had a small cooler and ice packs for us. Having our own private patio area made it extra lovely. I miss it already!! Mahalo Kara and Tom.

March 2018 Kailua

We loved our six day stay here, the location was so much better than we could have hoped for. The most beautiful beach on the whole island was a three minute walk away. Our daily routine started with a stop at a great local coffee shop( Kalapawai Market) one minute away, followed by a walk on the beach. Tom has installed very convenient coded lock boxes to access the back gate and entry door, so there was no hassle of carrying keys. Both queen beds were very comfortable with ample pillows, and tons of towels for the beach and bathroom were provided. Although air conditioning was available in the bedrooms, we only needed it for two of the nights, the ceiling fans were sufficient to cool the rooms the other nights. We loved having our own back yard area with furniture, bbq, and clothes line provided. Tom also thoughtfully provided beach chairs, boards etc.. for our use. He was available to answer questions and provide recommendations. We would highly recommend a stay here, and need to plan a return visit as soon as possible.

Owners very helpful and accommodating. Just a few minutes walk to beautiful Kailua Beach

Second time we stayed here and would definitely stay again. Four adults stayed in this 2bedroom unit and were very comfortable. Located in a nice neighborhood just s few minute walk to Kailua beach. Tom was helpful with activity ideas. Unit equipped with everything needed for the week... bbq on patio, washer/dryer, beach chairs, towels, etc. even some beach bikes to ride around to help you feel like a local. Also a fun local market for morning lattes and (depending on time of year) outdoor bbq burgers. Owners were also very accommodating for our late flight out. Relaxing vacation!

Relax in paradise

Great location and house had everything we needed. Suited us perfectly; couple and a 16 year old. Easy to get around the whole island from here in a car. Less than 5 minute walk from the door to the water at the beach and about another 10 minutes to Lanikai beach. Make the shortest stay in Waikiki and get to Kailua. Try and leave 2 or 3 days for just hanging out at this house and the beach, really feels like a home. Kara and Tom are genuinely friendly people and great hosts.
