Perfect Kailua Vacation at Ka Hale Lai-House of Serenity-pool and spa.

The house was exactly as described and couldn’t have been more perfect from location to amenities. The hosts were very responsive, very accommodating and answered all our questions quickly. We are already planning another vacation to stay at this exceptional property. I can’t recommend this property enough and wish I could give them 10 stars!!M!

Our group loved this home. The layout is bright and open and has multiple spots to tuck in and visit or find some privacy. The pool, hot tub and outdoor space were highlights. Kitchen was well equipped and super functional.

The house had everything we needed kitchen fully stocked. Lovely location; short drive to everywhere we wanted to go.

We had a wonderful stay with our family celebrating our 25th anniversary. Communication with the host was great and the little issues we had were promptly addressed. Would highly recommend!

What a great place!!

We had an unforgettable stay here.The garden was amazingly beautiful and incredibly spacious, truly beyond our expectations.The house was very clean, well-organized, and well maintained.There were plenty of pool toys and even cooking ingredients already prepared, which made our stay especially comfortable and convenient.The host was extremely kind and responsive, answering every question quickly and thoughtfully.We spent such a memorable time with our family, and we are truly grateful for the opportunity to share this wonderful space.It left us with such great memories that we would absolutely love to stay here again on our next visit. Thank you so much for everything.

Wonderful stay. Home was excellent and a real treat to be able to just relax and fully enjoy our time visiting the island. The rooms and especially the bathrooms were very nicely decorated and the A/C worked very well. Thank you very much for sharing your home with us.

Sara and Chris were welcoming and helpful.The house was great with enough rooms to spread out and the pool and hot tub were huge hits with everyone.

Our stay here was nothing short of perfect for our family. The home is beautifully designed and filled with thoughtful touches that make it feel warm and welcoming. The backyard and pool were absolute highlights — our kids spent hours splashing and playing while we relaxed, soaking in the peaceful atmosphere. The layout of the house made it easy for everyone to have their own space while still feeling connected. Everything was comfortable and well stocked — from kitchen essentials to pool and beach toys. It truly felt like a home away from home, only in paradise. We’re so grateful for the memories we made here and can’t wait to come back!

We had a fantastic stay in this beautiful home. It's located in a quiet, friendly neighborhood and is incredibly convenient—super close to grocery stores and restaurants, and just a short walk to the beach. We encountered a couple of minor issues during our stay, and the host was wonderfully responsive and addressed them immediately. Our family had a great time, and we would happily recommend this home to anyone looking for a perfect spot in the Kailua area.

Nice property, quiet safe neighborhood. "Hot" tub did not go above room temperature; it was just a tub...disappointing after spending the day hiking. BBQ grill was gross, and we were not in the mood to clean it. Beverage cooler was also disgusting. Lights under the patio umbrella did not work. Smoke detectors were missing from the ceiling mounts in the living room and master suite. No indoor fireplace but there was an outdoor fire pit, no coffee grinder and the fridge ice maker also didn't work. Minor inconveniences but if it is listed on the profile, it should be provided. Paid the asking price but did not get all the listed amenities.

Great place to relax with many options for small or large gatherings. The kitchen was great for cooking and we enjoyed the outdoor dining table for dinner with friends. Would definitely stay again!

A perfect home away from home! This house has everything needed for a great vacation, just bring your bathing suit! The pool and hot tub are sublime! Plenty of room for a large group. Quiet location close to beautiful beaches and great restaurants! The local Kailua Farmer’s Market is soooooo good!! Would love to stay here again!

Property was nice and exactly as advertised. We really liked the location and the pool was great!

Property was conveniently located. Kailua is a great town with beautiful beaches and things to do daily. Driving to Waikiki, Kahlua Ranch, and Diamond Head was easy. For military families this property is conveniently located adjacent to the Marine base.

My family and I really enjoyed our stay here. The pool and jacuzzi were a hit with the kids and the patio area was a nice place to hang out and play games for the adults. The backyard had plenty of space for my son and I to play catch.We appreciated the quietness of the area and being a bit off the traditionally beaten path. You aren't so far away from stuff that getting anywhere on the island didn't feel like a real trek.The best beach we visited in our week long stay was the one just down the road from the house. If you're anything like me or my family, you like not having all the chaos of Wikiki and having your own little oasis beach with limited numbers of people.The lone compliant we had about the house was that the walls are pretty thin, so if you're a light sleeper, anticipate a little bit of noise from your other housemates. All in all, we absolutely loved our stay and already miss the home.

Beautiful house, beautiful pool. Washer was helpful and worked well. Only two kid challenges were that the lava rock edges on the pool were a little rough for the kids, and one of the bedrooms is only accessible via the backyard/pool area.

What a great place to stay! If you are thinking about staying in the Kailua area, this is a perfect house. Great layout, super clean, nice neighborhood and close to the beach! This was our third time staying in Kailua and this house was easily the best. We'd definitely go back.

Beautifully maintained property with so many thoughtful touches and amenities. Sara and Chris are very responsive and helpful on so many levels, I only wish this was a permanent vacation.

The house, location, amenities made this home a home away from home. The backyard is a family oasis for all ages and enough space to have some quiet time if needed. We hope to visit again soon!

The house and the grounds more than lived up to the pictures. The location was close to everything. The house was stocked with everything we needed and more. I wouldn’t give it just 5 stars but 100 if I could.

Family fun trip, perfect getaway with easy access to all the island has to offer. Never enough time, would recommend this property.

The house was clean and comfortable. Had everything we needed. Enjoyed the pool and spa. Plenty of room for everyone. Kitchen sink needed a little attention, backed up some times. Overall enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again.

Our family of seven enjoyed our weeklong stay at this beautiful home in a residential area of Kailua. Beds were comfy. Kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. Safeway market was walking distance for supplies. The backyard has a lively pool and spa. There’s a beautiful beach a 20 minute walk from the house and the town of Kailua is a short drive. Beach towels & chairs were provided too. Highly recommend staying at this wonderful home..

Our group of 8 had an amazing time at this beautiful property. The outdoor living area was perfect.

Property has an amazing outdoor space that we loved. It was perfect for our ohana gathering.

Very convenient location to beautiful beaches, restaurants and shopping. We were in Kailua for two of our teens gymnastic competition. The pool was a bit cool but the girls made great use of it every day. And the hot tub was wonderful after long days. The house was very well stocked.

Spacious comfortable 4 bedroom with pool. Terrific family vacation.

It was perfect. Incredible location. Beautiful property that was great for our 4 year old. Couldn’t have asked for better.

We loved everything about the house and the area we stayed in.

We had 3 couples and each couple had their own BR and bathroom. The hot tub and pool were a great way to relax when we returned from our adventures each day. There are large indoor common spaces including a spacious kitchen, living and family rooms. On top of that is a great covered outdoor sitting and dining area by the pool. The location lends itself to exploring the North Shore, Waikiki, the pali lookout and hiking, etc.

Fantastic place for family and friends to gather! Property is really amazing; accommodations, gathering space, pool, backyard, distance to beach and other daily needs could not be better. We were a bit worried about the big road behind the house but this was not an issue what so ever. The only thing I would comment on is the overall cleanliness and specifically the kitchen. At this price level we expected something better! Kitchen is equipped OK’ish but very messy and not clean. Would not take much to get this property to a very impressive level all around.

We stayed for about a week. Were on Oahu for a daughter's wedding. Visited Maui multiple previous times (loved it!!!), first time staying on Oahu. We loved, loved the property and it's location (southeast side of Oahu). That area of the island is beautiful and the "vibe" was perfect! Couldn't ask for a better place to stay. The house was clean and well maintained. Lots of individual A/C units to help cool each room and space. Really nice kitchen with high-end appliances. Lots of "elbow" room and plenty of cabinet/storage space. Our only critique of the the kitchen was the selection of tableware/dishes. The dishes (plates and bowls), could probably use a modest upgrade. Nice clothes washer and dryer. The bedrooms and bathrooms were all well-appointed with decent linens and plenty of towels. Everyone said their beds were pretty comfortable. Closet space was somewhat limited in a couple of the bedrooms, but plentiful in the other bedrooms. The backyard area is HUGE. Great area to hang out in. Only used the pool a little (due to our schedule), but it is a beautiful, well-maintained pool. There is a separate spa/jacuzzi, but we did not have an opportunity to use it, though it looked really nice. The house is great for a large family. The surrounding neighborhood is quiet and pretty peaceful. The location is central to a lot of things to do (at least on that side of the island). A small shopping center with a Safeway and several places to eat is 3-minute drive away.

Everything was clean. Beautiful property and pool. Hoping to return again.

Pool was so refreshing after a long day on the beach!

The pictures are accurate. There's a large pool, and a hot tub on the property, with a large yard for playing games in - with privacy from the road / neighbors. There's an outdoor seating area to play games and watch TV. The master suite is separate from the 'main' house - which is also nice. 4 spacious bedrooms, and a nice kitchen. The location is nice as well, you're pretty close to a bunch of restaurants, Target, Safeway, etc. Highly recommended!

We loved staying at this home in Oahu. It was our first time visiting Oahu and this home was perfect for our family of 6 (mostly with adult children). The bedrooms were private for the kids and then the main huge lovely master suite was almost its separate living quarters. It had a big king bed, huge bathroom with tub, shower, etc. We felt pampered in the house. The house was stocked more than other houses we have stayed in elsewhere in the US. The communication was quick and terrific. The beds were comfy, the kitchen was spacious and had everything we needed. It was lovely to sit outside and eat our meals at the big wooden table in the evenings or play games. We would definitely stay again and would definitely recommend to others with a larger party like us. The location was very quiet, and it didn't seem like it took that long to get anywhere. Approx 30-40 minutes to get to the other side of the island. The views on Oahu are breathtaking.

We stayed with our 4 kids (6-12 years) & my parents. We appreciated the pool & hot tub, backyard with avocado & plumeria trees, space to spread out or gather. Nice neighborhood & location, away from the busy of Honolulu. Kitchen well-stocked. Host responsive when sheets didn’t fit correctly. Downsides - some beds/bedding could be updated. Pool very cold (kids braved it, but hard for adults) - though admittedly we were there in December. Overall, great stay. Lovely home.
