Kailua reviews

Guest Rating:

We had asked before we left if there were beach towels. We were told no so we added that bulk to our suitcases. There were towels and TONNES of great beach stuff in the garage. Supplies in the house were low. Batteries were dead in the remote control and liquid soap was low. There was also a significant ant problem in the suite. The master suite bed was quite uncomfortable. The unit was quiet and the view was exactly as pictured. We were able to keep the unit cool and the kitchen was quite well stocked. Go to Lankai and Kailua beaches - far better than Waikiki.

This was our second stay at the Kailua Kai and once again we had a fabulous time. The friends we brought with us instantly fell in love with the house and the setting as we had. The water park is a must for kids and Moke's for breakfast can't be beat. Verena was wonderful as always and even though we have never formally met she treats us like family when we arrive. Renting a car during our stay gave us the flexibility to have a beach day or spend a day exploring the island. Very easy to get around. Great location if you have children. We will definitley be back.

Hello. You will really enjoy staying here. This home has four bedrooms and a really nice kitchen/living room area/sitting area. There is plenty of room and it is clean and nice. We traveled all over the Island of Oahu, including the North Shore and Hanauma Bay, which is South, and everything is beautiful; but there was not a more beautiful place than the beach here at Kailua. You can take a leisurely walk and be there at the beach in about eight minutes and when you get there, oh my goodness, the view is absolutely breathtaking. The town is nice and has good shopping and restaurants. The owners of this home are really nice and we certainly enjoyed our stay. We do hope to come back here again and stay here because there's not a more beautiful place on Oahu! Please do take the part seriously though, about being quiet after 8:00pm. They are serious about that...no parties or crowds or loud noises at night. This was the only part that kinda rained on our parade the first evening. But then, we just tried to follow those rules and everything else was great. Blessings to all.

The unit was very spacious and well equipped, very much a home from home. The location was excellent, in a quiet residential area and 2 minutes walk from the beach. Buzz' Steakhouse at the end of the drive is worth a go, there's excellent coffee at the market around the corner and fantastic Thai takeaways a couple of minutes drive away. I'd thoroughly recommend Honu Hale for a quiet family holiday.

Great location for what we needed (access to diving). House was great - clean, comfy and gorgeous view. Didn't have enough sun to take full advantage of the pool. No cable TV as billed, but DVD player was plenty. Internet access would really add to the convenience - had to pay at the local Starbucks. Easy trip to the grocery and such, great meals at Formaggio in Kailua and at Haleawa Joe's down the road from the mall on Kamehameha. We would definitely stay there again!

Our family of five really enjoyed our stay at Peacock. The name was certainly appropriate as we were treated to the sites of peacocks strolling through the backyard almost daily. The home was nice and clean and set in a very residential, quiet location not far from the beach and local shopping. There was ample room for everyone. We enjoyed breakfast at Moki's in Kailua. One of the downsides to our rental was the absence of things such as beach mats, boogie boards, etc. It would have been nice to see things for use such as coolers, snorkle gear, etc. Unfortunately we had the bad luck to be in Oahu during a rather cloudy, rainy period but we still enjoyed ourselves immensely. The service we received from Hawaiian Beach Rentals was wonderful and we would not hesitate to use them again.
