A Little Slice of Heaven!
Beautiful property with a beautiful pool and great location! Super quiet residential neighborhood and awesome owner! When you leave your unit a super short walk along the house opens to the Pacific; stunning! There’s a longer walk when you turn right along the coast. Loved everything about it 😁

Quiet Kailua Getaway
This place had everything we needed. It was clean, the shower worked great and the AC worked even better. It’s tucked away in the edge of Kailua, in a nice & quiet neighborhood. We found it fairly easy to get from our place to all the attractions we wanted to see in Kailua and Lanikai.

Delightful Ocean Breezes
We had a wonderful time in this beautiful property. We stayed in the ocean-side unit and our son and daughter-in-law stayed in the pool-view unit. It was perfect for our family. The lap pool was refreshing and lovely. The host was fabulous to communicate with and extremely helpful. We would absolutely stay again!

beautiful space
we really enjoyed our time here. it was comfortably and luxurious. the bathroom is top notch. other notable things: the shore just outside is rocky (not suitable for swimming) and we didn’t see much tide pooling besides a ton of crabs scurrying away. the pool is great, but half looks into the owners’ living room so we stuck to the other half. doing laundry requires coordination with the owner. there are two decks: a sitting area next to the entrance, the other overlooks the pool and has the mountain view, but is next to the external AC unit. the house is about a mile away from any restaurant or activity.

Fantastic week in Kailua
My nephew and I enjoyed the Mountain View room immensely. Tom and Lucinda were delightful and everything went beautifully. We loved the two lanais and the view of mountains and ocean from the loft. Proximity to family we were visiting was fantastic and the neighborhood is quiet with great walking and access to shopping and ocean front as well as a convenient base for day trips. We loved the shower and everything was comfortable and worked wonderfully. Ocean breezes and the pool kept us cool as well

Great Stay on the Windward Side of Oahu
The unit was very clean and well stocked with amenities - plenty of clean towels, soap/shampoo, as well as spices, seasoning, and cooking oil. Had everything we needed for our stay. The location is perfect! At the end of a no-outlet road in a very pleasant, quiet neighborhood. Quick and easy access to the base at K-Bay, as well as to Kailua Town and highways to explore other parts of the island. It was so nice to sleep to the sound of the crashing waves. Would highly recommend this unit and this Host. Top marks.

Nice spot
Clean and great location. Pool was beautiful, but with owner living on site and cameras everywhere around the pool it did not feel all that private. Place was mostly quite. The beach was great to walk down and had stunning ocean views. The town was cute with really good food and shopping. The area was easy to travel and it was our first time to Hawaii. Overall I recommend this property.

Wonderful place to stay!
Owner sent us great instructions on how to arrive at property. Upon arrival we had our own door code (no key to worry about) the room was above the owners living quarters. They were quiet and to themselves. Room was very clean, nicely arranged and very welcoming. The only thing that wasn't accurate was we were on the inside portion of the Rental. The ocean view was obstructed by the house. However about 25 steps would take you to the ocean for the beautiful sunrises.

Overall an excellent stay. Lucinda was reasonable in response time, given it was Christmas Eve. The pool was a little chilly for our liking so we didn’t get to use it. But understandable given it was December. The location was superb. Right on the water. Sunrise right out the front steps. Would definitely return.

Not what we expected
Arrived and there was a man inside our unit working on the small deck. He said part of the wall was removed because of “air flow issues” with the AC and the regular AC unit was not working so a smaller one was put in the wall. This gentleman was onsite several days cutting wood trim & staining it outside in the driveway. Next morning we were going to the beach and we locked the door but realized our car keys were still inside. I was not able to unlock the door using the keypad. Called owner and could only leave a message. Luckily our nephew was able to come get us. The owner did not return my call until around noon that day. He said he corrected the issue with the key pad. CONS -outside furniture is falling apart; paint peeling off. -pool is nice but once you get in the middle you can see into the owners living room thru full length windows -cameras everywhere; felt like you had no privacy for an “upscale quiet neighborhood“ -was asked to turn off AC unit when leaving, and did so. One morning we forgot to turn off AC when we left for beach but when we returned it was off meaning someone had to enter our unit to turn it off. -was told if you want to use the washer and dryer to call the owner so they could open the garage door. That area was a mess! PROS -the view -comfortable bed I have photos of the issues I mentioned and would gladly share them if requested. A 3 star rating is mainly for the beautiful view when you walk back to beach. Would not recommend this prop

Perfect getaway!
Our stay was so lovely! The house was exactly as described, check in and check out was easy, and our hostess was wonderful. We were provided everything we could have wanted- beach and bath towels, a beach umbrella, kitchen appliances and dishes, etc. The king bed was incredibly comfortable, and my daughter said the bed she slept in up in the loft was also comfortable. We loved the pool and close ocean access, and the nearby cove ended up being my daughter's favorite place we went swimming. I read in the previous reviews that some people had problems figuring out how the air conditioning worked, but it was very self-explanatory- there are two units, and with both on it actually got so cold that I would end up turning one off after it cooled off. The Kailua area is quiet and close to beautiful beaches, a botanical garden, and lots of attractions. If we come back to O'ahu, I would definitely stay in this unit again!

kailua 5/26
I was very pleased with the studio apt, its surroundings. the lap pool was beautiful, would have appreciated later time to use it. I had inquired prior to booking that my only concern was the functioning & efficiency of the Air conditioning. When I entered the unit it was stifling, like an oven. No windows/doors were open to let out the heat. One unit was not operating & the other once adequate instructions were provided did work well. We were not allowed to leave the AC on while not in the unit, which I understand. The unit did not cool down for quite sometime, long after we had hoped to go to bed. I was ready to leave upon entering an overwhelmingly hot room. If the existing AC had not worked well enough to properly cool the room, I was prepared to leave. we did contact the owner for assistance it appeared to blame user error. I am pleased that I did not have to leave. I would think that opening windows doors to rid heat prior to check in & run the AC to cool the room so that it is pleasing for first entry, would have made the experience overall great !

A Disappointment Compared to What We Expected
This is a pleasant place to stay, but at a premium price. Because what we found was more different than any we’ve experienced with any VRBO, I wrote a page and a half to warn others, but that essay won't fit in this space, so here is the Haiku version: “Kailua Ocean/Mtn Views” – “Ocean view” is overstated at best. The only view of the ocean is from outside the unit, peering between the houses to the ocean forty yards away. As for mountain views, you can see the outline of the mountains some miles away, mostly from another table also outside the unit. “Absolutely Oceanfront” “As close to the ocean as you can get” “Hear the waves breaking just outside” – These statements are simply false as to this unit. You have to read to the bottom of the fine print to get that. Their ocean front unit may meet those descriptions. “Kitchenette” v. “Kitchen” with “Stove Top” – This is decidedly on the “ette” side. There is no dishwasher and no stove or installed stove top. The “convection oven” is a model that most persons would call a toaster oven. I couldn’t find anything in the unit answering the description “wine chiller.” There are two hot plates. There is a lovely coffee machine that accommodates both Keurig and ground coffee. Don’t expect you will be cooking dinners here. Most of the appliances are not “new” as stated. “Studio with Loft – Twin/Single & King” – The fine print advises that only two persons can stay here. The loft has a single bed in it, for whatever purpose, but the only access to that loft is a movable bamboo ladder such that, had we been inclined to brave it, even bringing even a cup of coffee up there would not be convenient. TV – The photos show a large screen mounted near the ceiling that has “smart TV” features. Don’t assume it will have the channels you may want. We arrived the day of a major sports event on ESPN and after surfing through the hundreds of Hulu channels discovered that they don’t subscribe to it. You will have to figure out how to get access to such things through the various apps. The bottom line is that, if you need or want to be on Oahu and these features work for you, you may find it worth the price. It is a premium price compared to other ocean-front homes we have rented elsewhere in Hawai’i, apparently because Kailua has banned short-term rentals from which they are apparently grandfathered. If you really want to go to sleep listening to the waves, go elsewhere.

Felt like we were watched at every move. Cameras everywhere.
We have checked out after one night stay. We did not feel safe at the property with cameras everywhere. We felt that messages were based solely on observation of cameras. I do not want a vacation spot that we feel we are being watched. In addition, several areas needed to be cleaned, such as loft area and refrigerator. Also, description was very confusing. We had 2 family members staying there, but we traveled together and as soon as we got out of the car, we received a message from host. They live there and their sliding door is right at lap pool area. Cameras were at every corner. I understand security, but this was very invasive. I asked to speak to them, but they kept just sending messages. We did not feel safe! I do not recommend this property.
