This was an absolutely delightful stay! Comfy bed, lovely patio, and breakfast bar with everything we needed. We walked to the beach and swam in the ocean every morning at sunrise and enjoyed the island during the day. I truly hope we can come again. Thank you for your excellent hospitality.

Very pleasant room and the property is beautiful. Having beach towels, chairs, and boards was a great plus with Kailua beach a ten minute walk away. Hosts were very friendly and helpful, immediately fixed a small issue that came up. We’ll definitely stay here again if we get the chance to visit this wonderful town again.

Our hosts were absolutely fantastic! The property was everything that it was described to be. Our hosts were easy to get ahold of and communicate with regarding any questions. They gave great recommendations for anything from restaurants to entertainment to beach access. We will definitely stay there again.

This property allows extremely rare close walking access to a less crowded stretch of one of th best beaches anywhere. The Studio included a private and sweetly landscaped patio. Proximity to a busy road made it somewhat noisy but worth it.

Cute and cozy space, just blocks from the beach. Kailua town was not too far of a walk. We did not feel the need for wheels, it was close enough to stroll around town on foot. We got there a couple hours early and were able.to put our stuff in the room while waiting for proper check in time.

This is my second time staying at this VRBO. You could not ask for a better setup and location for your Kailua stay. The hosts are wonderful and friendly and respect your privacy. The accommodations are beautiful including the cute outdoor patio. And they’ve thought of every amenity you might need to enjoy the space as well as the beach. I could not recommend this place enough!

This was a perfect tropical sanctuary for the two of us. We were within walking distance to downtown Kailua Town and to Kailua Beach. We enjoyed the outdoor garden area - perfect for reading, with the soothing sound of the water fountain.

Lovely and quiet near town. Walking a bit challenging without clear sidewalks so we drove instead but were able to walk to the beach easily. The patio was a hidden gem. Mahalo!

I loved my experience, staying at this beautiful and quiet spot. I enjoyed everything from the homemade scones to a little garden area where we were able to use the BBQ. The location was also a close walk to the beach and to the food locations in Kailua. Great value.

Great location with easy access to the beach and town. I loved having access to a garden but the mosquitos were pretty aggressive. Clean, safe, and enjoyable. Would come again.

Nice little cottage by the beach. Owners are very nice and respectful of your privacy. It’s a very lush property with lots of trees and plants so there are some bugs but they never bothered us really. Location is perfect, beach is a 5-6 minute walk and maybe 10 mins to Whole Foods. Would definitely stay again.
