We recently spent a month in lovely Kailua at this house. Kailua is a pretty beach town with no resorts or high-rises, and has a very casual vibe, while having all the conveniences of home. The beach is gorgeous and maybe two miles long, so it’s ideal for walking. Kailua is on the windward side of Oahu, so the weather is more changeable than some other areas, although it doesn’t seem to generally rain for more that three minutes. This is a great location for Oahu exploring, with easy access to all areas and most places not more than 40 minutes drive. This house is in a nice neighbourhood and the neighbours all seem quite friendly, and it is just about a five minute walk to the beautiful beach. The house is spacious, and is quite perfect for two couples or a family of six, as we were. The pool is lovely, and we were looking forward to a month of pool lounging, however it isn’t quite warm enough for that and the heater wasn’t working while we were there. It’s very refreshing for a quick swim, but not warm enough to hang around in there, so that was a big disappointment for our family. We also found we could have used more dishes and flatware, but we managed and bought a few extras. Overall this was quite a good rental, and it wouldn’t take too much to make it really great. We enjoyed it and would return.

We just completed a months stay. From beginning to end Richard and Amanda were awesome and accommodating! The property is beautiful. The decor fit the island vibe with an all white motif, lots of windows to let the sunshine in and easy access to the pool from the master suite or the living room. The location was fabulous, walking distance to the beach, a mile or two to downtown shopping, restaurants and entertainment. Honolulu, Waikiki and other tourists attractions less than 30 minutes away. Overall pool, beach, beauty, privacy, and easy access to the rest of the island while avoiding the congestion of the city and enjoying the quiet of a local neighborhood. I just can’t say enough good about this property. Definitely recommend without reservation.you won’t be disappointed.

The house was even better than expected, extremely clean and spacious with all the small touches for a comfortable stay. We could not have asked for better, and Amanda was very accommodating and helpful during our rental.

Nestled in a quiet neighborhood, this home has everything you could need. Super clean, a fully stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, WiFi, swimming pool, and all the beach toys you could ask for. A short walk takes you to a wonderful walking and swimming beach. We would definitely stay here again!

This well appointed home in Kailua is an excellent home base when staying on Oahu. Our extended family visited and had plenty of space to come together for family time and to retreat to our own spaces as needed. The beds were all very comfortable, the bathrooms had ample counter space and the walk in showers were lovely. There were also multiple options for work/learn from home spaces. The house comes outfitted with all the necessary kitchen amenities as well as beach chairs, a beach wagon, umbrellas, a cooler etc. The pool, patio and backyard are lovely and provide options for outdoor dining/work/relaxation. If we visit Oahu again I will be sure to check if this property is available again!

Lovely home! Spotless with every amenity provided. Great location with easy walk to beach, nearby local music and fare, and quiet neighborhood. Beautiful pool for quiet afternoon relaxation. Mahalo Amanda!

The property is on a small private street. Parking is tight but cars can be parked across the street in front of the school. The house is comfy and has everything you will need for a week long stay. Linen, pillows and beds were super comfy, plenty of fluffy towels and a beautiful pool with floats and lounge chairs. The garage has beach chairs, boogie boards, a wagon and sand toys for use at the nearby beach, as well as a stacked washer and dryer. The owners Amanda and Henry are easy to contact for issues that may arise or to change the temp of the pool. They even have a super friendly golden retriever who loved the pool! :) We had 4 people actually stay in the home but a group of 10 fmly and local friends came to visit and hang out since i had an injury and could not leave much. The home is spacious enough for everyone to be more than comfortable, AC in each room worked well and everyone loved it.
Only minor cons were that it can use a ROKU/Chromecast as TV/cable was not intuitive, fresh paint, new skillets, a gas BBQ and maybe dark washclothes for makeup remover. This place is perfect for a relaxing place to call home while in Oahu. Thank you Amanda and Henry.

The property was even better than the listing! Spacious housing with a private pool within a short walk of the beach- how could you go wrong? Jane is absolutely fantastic to work with. We have rented from her at her other properties for years now and have had nothing but first class service from her!

I really wanted to give this place a higher star rating because we had a good experience with the host, Amanda, but we had ants and roach problems during our stay. Amanda was responsive and the location was great; a walking distance to a nice beach.
The big down side for me was when we checked in, the place already had lots of ants in it. I had to spend the first few days after checking in trying to get rid of the ants and roaches, which was definitely not ideal since it’s more expensive than a hotel. There were lots of baits around the kitchen and rooms (I found about 10 or so overall), so the ants were coming in for the baits. After placing the baits outside, it was better, but they were still lingering a bit. I also found about 3 geckos and a few roaches. I don’t mind the geckos since it’s Hawaii and all, but I have kids, so the roaches and ants bothered me and the the kids.
