The Master Suite in this house will take your breath away and is on a third story all to its own with peak a boo Ocean views and amazing Mountain Views. The suite has AC but you won't need it as you will be lulled to sleep by the quiet lapping of the waves on the beach and cool ocean air. The house is just one house away from the beach access or about 50ft away.
2nd bedroom has a queen bed and is on the main level (2nd story). This room also has AC, a futon, and pull out couch.
The kitchen has everything you will need and opens to the living room and dinning areas on either side. The vaulted ceilings make it very light and airy. The living room has a queen day bed and twin day bed which also has a twin trundle under it. So with the addition of pullout and a futon in the 2nd bedroom there are a variety of accommodations for additional guests. We don't expect you will use all of the bedding options but its certainly nice to have such a wide range of options in case your group calls for it.
The house comes with everything for the beach: Chairs, Beach Mats, cooler, boogie boards, kayaks and much more.

Pros: The location is perfect, I counted 200 steps to the beach. The owner provided beach towels, chairs, toys, boogie boards. We love the beach and really enjoyed being able to see the sunrise, go back to sleep, and then having a whole beach day within steps.
The shower/bathroom situation was good. We especially loved the outdoor shower and the shower on the lower level being separate from the bathroom. Since everyone fights over who gets to shower first after the beach.
They have lots of pots and pans, and serving dishes. No dishwasher, but a big sink for handwashing. I saw earlier reviews complaining about food being left behind, but I appreciate having certain staples so I don’t have to buy them. I would suggest doing an inventory of spices and things you would want to have on hand for cooking before you go grocery shopping.
There was a propane BBQ, and the owner provided a tank. We grilled a lot, and that was tacky appreciated.
There are plenty of places to sleep, my brother and his kids took one bedroom and me and my kids took the “master” bedroom and the common area. But wouldn’t suggest renting this place with someone you are not comfortable sharing right quarters with.
Cons:
They need more forks, for some reason there are only a handful of forks and lots of spoons and knives.
There are quite a few windows that don’t have screens on them.
The kitchen faucet needs to be replaced. It’s a crap shoot how to turn it on/off or hot/cold. When you are washing

I really loved the overall feeling of this rental! You can't beat the location! Being so close to everything and two minute walk to the beach was lovely :))

We loved the location. House was fine as we are laid back family. I had several questions early on about the house and taking care of the property ( where light switches were, what we could use, etc) for the property manager that I messaged in the VRBO app but never got a response. We were a family group of 9 and we fit but property probably more comfortable with 6 people.

We had a great stay! It was located right by the Marine base and it's only a couple yards from the beach. We where able to cook for our while family which was nice! Safeway and other stores aren't that far. They had plenty of beach towels for the whole family. The laundry machines worked great. Highly recommended.

We loved so much this beautiful property, is just 2 minutes from the Kailua Beach, very convenient when you travel with kids and they want to be at the beach mornings and afternoons for play and relax.
The house is well equipped with umbrellas, beach chairs, boards, toys and beach towels. As soon as you arrive the property you can go directly to the beach, you'll have all that you need.
The kitchen is spacious and has everything you need.
The wind at night is delightful!
The house has plenty of windows.
Mark was very accommodating with our early check-in and check out, easy to work with.
We would definitely book again!
Thank you for everything Mark, we had a wonderful family vacation at your house.

It's a good idea to inform your guests that they need to be able to climb a stairway to get to the dining and sleeping area in case they may not be physically able to do so. The photo on the ad gives you the impression the living area is on the ground floor. It was comfortable for my family of six.
Some of the small kitchen appliances need to be cleaned of thrown out.

My family and I enjoyed our stay here in this nice, cozy house near the beach. The location was wonderful for our needs.

Went in early April so weather was mid 80’s and strong breeze. It has an authentic feel vs a high end/modern vibe. Its functional and beautifully located. We didn’t try the air conditioners so can’t speak for that. There were a few outlets that didn't work and struggled with the internet a bit (too stubborn to just call the owner, but when I did he had us online immediately. Loved having the outdoor shower, indoor first level bathroom with shower and laundry downstairs kept all the sand downstairs on the easy to sweep tile floor. Loads of beach towels to use, one house walk to a beautiful beach. Kitchen had loads of supplies to cook and with several different rooms everyone has some space. Parking was right in front, backyard was nice to relax in (yes the house next door is under construction but its nearly complete so they were doing paint touchups and landscaping, likely done by the time you read this) and it was super close to plenty of shopping. I would totally stay there again.

Do yourself a favor. If you have any standards at all to not book this location. Completely misrepresented in listing. So much so that we were forced to find other accommodations in the area after our arrival and initial walkthrough. We expressed our concerns immediately to Matt and were basically told to pound sand. "Master Suite" is nothing more than a bed in a converted attic/bonus room. No closets. No TV. No bathroom. Not even the largest bedroom on the property. Shame on VRBO for allowing this. VRBO customer service rep couldn't even give me what their definition is of a master suite (don't ever count on them for true customer support). Electrical issues throughout the property including kitchen lights that didn't work, electrical tape over non-functioning light switches, missing fixture covers and no lighting (or handrail) in stairwell leading to the "master suite". Paper towels and tissues stuffed into screens which we assumed was meant to plug holes and keep bugs out. Outdoor shower filthy. Dirty refrigerator. Dirty HVAC vents. Major active construction next door (which I was told 2 months prior to our arrival would be completed other than landscaping) with any ocean views nearly completely obscured. I could go on but I'm sure you get the picture. Bottom line is there are many, many other properties to consider when vacationing in Kailua. Do not rent this property.

Lots of things we loved about this place, beyond just the proximity to a wonderful, safe beach. The house has lots of character, with what appears to be new floors and ceilings, and is well equipped, with beach furniture, outside shower, lots of fans, etc. A few things would benefit from being updated (stove, cutlery, kitchen tap, BBQ) but these are all relatively minor. The new build next door has taken the seaview from masterbed room of the house, but this doesn't really matter as it's only a few steps to the sea. Future guests are advised to bring eye masks to sleep, as there are no curtains, and also to try both of the entry codes given (the one given to us in the only email response from the owner was incorrect, but the other code in the standard notes worked). Overall a great place for a chilled family holiday.

We arrived on schedule at the unit. Great location, located a few houses from the beach. The mechanical lock box was not working, either the code given was incorrect, or the batteries were dead. I texted, and called the owner Mat at the contact number given, over an hour went by, no response. The tenant who owns the other half of the house walked by, I told him who we were, and that we needed to contact Mat, he said something to the effect of “good luck, I’m try to get a hold of him too”. It was getting dark, almost all of the hotel rooms on Oahu were full. You ask yourself, what happens if this person does not get back to me? What’s my fall back? I waited about another 30 minutes, I called and called the contact phone, nothing. We drove to Honolulu and stayed at a hotel. Mat did finally respond, sometime between 90 minutes and two hours later, he gave me his actual contact number, why this is not given when the property is booked is a good question. It was a very stressful and totally avoidable situation, if we had either been given the correct code, and or the batteries were working, and or Mat provided a good contact phone number then none of this would have happened. We also noted that there is a very large new home being built right next door, expect construction noise, and it would appear that the new house will block most or all of the ocean views.
