Kailua reviews

Guest Rating:

The location is great, the house was spacious. It was lacking a dining area that has an ocean view.
We went to Buzz's several times and the service was terrible. The staff was very confused.
The best restaurant by far was Roy's either in Hawaii Kai or Waikiki. I will return to Kialua next year.

Safe. Quiet. Clean. Great location (close to beach park, multiple activities, stores and medical facilities). Well "furnished" (plenty of beach towels, kitchen is well equipped, boogie boards, beach chairs and beach toys are a nice touch and the washer / dryer are a great help). Property Manager had great advice and recommendations. Not "5 Star Luxury" but a GREAT value for a family vacation. We will recommend highly to friends.

We were very happy to find all the extra equipment e.g. boogie boards, snorkeling sets and beach toys. The information booklet that was in the house with all the information made it very easy for us to settle in and enjoy life in paradise. We would definitely recommend this house to others. We were 3 generations travelling together and we all enjoyed having our own rooms and bathrooms; it was a perfect layout for our group.
The welcome basket was a nice surprise and we were grateful that we had coffee for the first morning. The deeded beach access was very convenient and we really took advantage of Kailua beach. My favourite memory must be watching the sun rise on Kailua Beach; it shouldn't be missed.

The customer service I received was excellent. The agent was always available to answer questions and provide information. My advice to someone else staying at this unit would be to be aware that the living room / dining areas are NOT air conditioned. What I liked best about the unit I rented was it's location in Kailua - easy to get to ant spot on Oahu withing 30-60 minutes and far away from the touristy areas.

The house was in an excellent location and was very private surrounded by beautiful plants. The information on the website and contract were out of date as there are only three regular beds, but the response to open the adjoining apartment was prompt and helpful. The bedrooms were attractive and comfortable but the lack of air conditioning or good air flow through the other rooms left them warm and humid. The back yard was our favorite place with a grill, dining table and comfortable hot tub. Unfortunately, though requested no maintainance was done on the hot tub during our nine night stay so the water turned bad and we took to scooping out the water and replacing it from a hose.

What our family liked the best? Well there is a lot... the house was spacious and luxurious, it was close to the beach, it was clean, everything you needed was available, the ladies who came to clean before and after our stay were awesome, most of all the generouse gift basket that awaited us on arrival! The pineapple so weet, the coffee, cookies, and treats, wow! What a welcome.

The price for what we had was unbelievable! Rather then staying in the hotels, we had a home, with a family of six ranging from 17 through 5 everyone had their own bed! There even was a double futon sofa and large comfy couch for an overnight stay with the grandma!

I would highly recommend this place. Everything was perfect from the initial agreement to the end of our stay.

Thank you from all of us, locals, returning home for vacation with the family!

We were in Oahu for the 2008 Pac Cup and chose this house becuase it was on the beach and just a few minutes from Kanehoe Bay Yacht Club, The location of this house was absolutely wonderful. The beach and water were beautiful and everyone in the party kept asking me how I found it. We were in absolute heaven. Everytime we walked out back someone would comment again on how beautiful it was and how lucky we were.
The two sitting areas (each with a TV) were great with the kids. We could send them off to whichever one the adults weren't using to watch TV. I would give it 4 and a half stars if I could. The only thing holding me back from a five were some little minor things like the one room by the garage was really dark and that bed was hard. The master bedroom was great and had a softer bed.
Gosh even with that I should give it five stars but I can't figure out how to change it now. We would definitely stay in this unit again. One tip on the unit, look in the cupboard at the far left that faces the small table before you go to the grocery store. We did not realize there was food in there and we left things in it when we left, too.
Enjoy!

I do not recall if I paid a security deposit.
The Plumeria Studio was a very relaxing and quiet place to stay. Audry, the owner is was very gracious and I would recommend this place to others.
