(5 out of 5)
This unit was lovely, exceptionally clean and beautifully decorated. The yard looked manicured. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and appreciated the little extras that were provided in the house. Our customer service was all that we expected and Verena was very accomodating and thoughtful. We are all three originally from Honolulu and live on the mainland. It was a return trip for us and we thought it would be fun to stay in Kailua and get away from busy Honolulu. Our expectations were met. We enjoyed Buzz's restaurant very much. Loved the beach access and spent relaxing time there with some wonderful photos. We drove to Lanikai beach and have great pictures of that area. We would highly recommend this unit to friends. The only negative was the street noise of which you have no control. We loved the outdoor plants and fence blocking us from seeing the traffic. Our drive along the north shore was definitely a high light. We stopped and had fresh shrimp along the way and hit Ted's bakery on the way back to try their chocolate haupia. All in all it was just a wonderful trip. We had fun shopping in some of Kailua's gift stores and returned with many treasures. Enjoyed delicious malasadas and sweet bread at Agnes' bakery in Kailua. The three of us, two sisters and a cousin have wonderful memories to share with our families and friends.
The house was very roomy and the covered lanai was great for sitting outdoors at night with a few drinks. Close proximity to the beach was a bonus just a couple of minutes walk.
Kailua Beach House is wonderfully appointed and well-thought-out for guests to have a relaxing and wonderful time. The big lanai adds to the comfort and spaciousness of the house, and the yard plantings add to the privacy and magic. It is also situated in a great location, walkable to Kailua Beach (for sunrises and sunsets especially), within a few miles of Lanikai Beach and Hanauma Bay snorkeling, and a short drive to Honolulu. It was ideal for us, and we'd recommend it to any friends headed toward Oahu.
The house was a great place to stay to enjoy a vacation at your own pace, no need to hurry here. We enjoyed having our own space to come back to after a day or afternoon out. The house had everything you need for just about anything, we only wish we would have discovered the shed full of beach equipment sooner than our last day! I would recommend this house to anyone going.
The house was wonderful and well equipped. There were a couple of suggestions that people made regarding the house that I thought I would add. First was the plastic on the larger beds. I understand that this is probably done for sanitary reasons, but it made sleeping a little uncomfortable. Also, we recommend that there be a lock for the bike, it made it difficult to go in to any stores while on a bike ride... Other than that, it was fantastic. Very beautiful, no problems what so ever. Nice short walk to the beach, and a nice walk down the beach to the local store or Buzz's. Thanks a million for a wonderful vacation!
We had an awesome stay...the house and garden are beautiful. Verena was always available for any questions. We'll be back.
The house was wonderful and relaxing. We took our 3 adult children and daughter=in-law to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary and all had a great time. The home was well equipped for the times we ate in and many SCRABBLE games were played on the lanai. The beach was beautiful. We would highly recommend it.
We highly recommend this property. This location is just lovely. The neighborhood is quiet and people were friendly. We were close enough to the beach to enjoy it easily. It's across the street and half a block away. One night, as the tide came in, we could hear the surf. The garden around the house is restful and immaculate. The house is beautifully appointed and virtually brand new. This was everything we hoped for and more.
A wonderful place to stay. I recommend placing portable ac units in all the bedrooms minimally as the house was a bit too warm throughout the main living areas. Maybe better ventilation at the top of the rafters in the main home or other? Despite that, everything else was good.
