Great location, but leave more to be desired
The location of this property is the best thing about it. Everything was dusty and sticky inside the unit. Seems as if they just wipe things down between stays, but never actually clean the unit as decorations and everything was dusty. We were greeted by being told not to use more than one appliance at a time meaning the blow dryer and microwave would trip out the power for the entire unit if used together. When I am paying a substantial amount of money for a week to stay I expect that the electrical works. The hot tub was broken for 2 days of our stay, I did inform the owner and they got it fixed after 2 days of communication. The listing for the palm villa is not a true 2 bed 2 bath. The second, much smaller bedroom is actually in a hallway to the larger bedroom which is highly inconvenient as there is no privacy for anyone who stays in that room. It should not be listed as a bedroom. We made the best of it and enjoyed our stay, however for the price I would expect more.

Perfect Stay Exactly as described
Family of 5 with 3 teens. Property was exactly as pictured and was perfect location and size for our family. The host, Susan, was wonderful and very responsive. Hot tub was great. Didn't use pool as it was cold (stayed in March), but would probably be great after a hot Hawaiian day. Didn't need the AC but AC units were available. TONS of toys, beach chairs and snorkeling equip for fund days at the beach. This was really appreciated by our kids.

This place made for the perfect way to be with your kids and relax at the same time. The pool and hottub were perfect and the beach was right next door. A little market just a 10 minute walk away. Perfect! We would definitely come back to this same location in the future!

A place where you can feel at home while in paradise.
My family and I had a fantastic time! The property fit our needs, and the location was perfect. If you are looking for the resort feel, this is not your place, but If you are looking for somewhere you feel like a local, this is it. Susan and her family were great hosts; they were quick to answer questions or assist with an issue, and although they gave us our space, they were kind and caring. We absolutely plan on staying again.

Kailua Beach Getaway
A fantastic location to Kailua and Lanikai beaches and walks. A short distance to restaurants and cages and kailua downtown. The host was very responsive. The property was fairly dated and could have been cleaner, however the walk to the beach was so close. The Internet and washing machine were not working, but the owner communicated and got the Internet fixed and did the laundry at their property.

Nice place to stay
Location is superb. Hosts were very nice but did not interfere during stay. Parking is tight but managable, would be nice if spots were designated for units, often when we left someone else was in the spot we were parked in and because its tight it would be easier to get used to one spot. Other guests were pleasant and still felt pretty private. We used the laundry and that was nice. Only other suggestion would be be to have more stock in the unit, we ran out of toilet paper and garbage bags.

Nice place near the beach
We stayed for 10 days and never felt cramped or crowded. The beds and bedrooms were comfy and spacious. The kitchen was well stocked except for food storage supplies. The location across the street from the beach was wonderful! It was a bit of a walk to shopping or restaurants (over a mile). This was fine, and it is an easy walk, but you don't want to do it several times a day, so plan trips strategically. The parking was tight, but it worked. The only negative is that the toiletries (shampoo, conditioner and shower gel) were watered down. It was tough scrubbing the sunscreen off at the end of the day. And we almost ran out of toilet paper towards the end of our stay.

Over priced
First of all the owners were very nice and it was a great location. But I would not stay there again. This property was not my choice because I like my privacy when I stay somewhere and a kitchen where I can cook is important. My sister liked the pool so we booked the property for two weeks. Some things that bothered me might not be a problem for others. I didn’t like that I could hear other people through the walls and doors. You couldn’t open the curtains downstairs because someone was usually outside where they could see in. The kitchen/ living area really needed updating and repairs. The pool was dirty and always had stuff floating in it even though they tried keeping up with it so my sister didn’t even swim in it. Tiles in the pool were missing and it just didn’t look appealing. The upstairs had two bedrooms. The large one was nice and the bathroom clean. The other room is very bright with a skylight that will wake you up early with the sunrise. Most importantly be very careful of the spiral staircase! Coming down the stairs one morning I slipped and injured my shoulder and arm. I had to go to the emergency room and three weeks later I’m still in pain and just had a MRI. I’m waiting on the results but it could be a rotator cuff tear! Overall we booked this place because the pool was important to my sister and the price we paid reflected the use of the pool. So overall I feel we over paid. But again the owners who lived on the property were very nice.

Perfection in Paradise
It was very sad leaving this beautiful property because it had all the elements of a wonderful place - very clean, conveniently located and aesthetically pleasing (inside and out). To relax at the pool with the sounds of native birds and gorgeous fauna was a true highlight.The property owners are super friendly and provided interesting local history and places to visit. Our twice daily visits to the nearby beaches, by bike or foot, were just what we needed to find serenity. Highly recommend, would love to come back....... Traveled with my husband, brother and sister in law.

Great location! Minutes walk to a beautiful beach!
What a wonderful location to spend a week with family in Hawaii. Close to a beautiful beach. Sunrise hikes. Good food. Paddle boarding or kayaking. Pool was cold for March swim. Laundry on site is nice. No stove/oven in our rental. The stairs that lead upstairs are steep and enter right into the first bedroom. You must go through that bedroom to get to the master bedroom. Both rooms had en-suite bathrooms. One bathroom had an on and off high pitched sound that would wake up my daughter. Parking is cramped but the owners did a great job of communicating with us and are quick to respond. Will stay again!

Perfect Location
Absolutely amazing location that is just a minute walk from the beach. Quiet and peaceful and the pool is nice. Now, one thing to keep in mind is while you will be in each Vrbo by yourself, this is actually 1 house that has 3 separate "apartments" in it. Ours had a door that was locked, but still connected to another one of these apartments. Not a deal breaker, but it could be for someone else. Just the way the description is written it gives the impression of like 3 little cabins around a pool, but it's more like 1 huge house that has been sectioned off into 3 different areas. Again, completely separate from each other and secure, but if you ever have lived in an apartment complex you get what I mean. Overall though, great location, great price, and 10/10 would do it again!

Zak was very nice, helpful, and accommodating. Location of property right across the street from the beach is perfect. Lots of beach items in the garage to borrow including a wagon which was super handy. Driveway and parking tight but not an issue for us. Everything was in good working order. We never used the TVs. We kept all food in fridge. Hot water in the kitchen was inconsistent which made washing dishes a bit tricky. If you look at pics and read reviews you will know this is not a five star resort so I don’t understand the few negative reviews. It was perfect size accommodations for our family. Coffee maker worked so we were happy 😊

Amazing stay and cute place but FYI for disabled!
The place is cute and the pool is beautiful- even thought it’s shared we never had any pool competition lol and the owners and neighbors were great. Parking is a little tight so if you have anything more than an sedan or compact SUV you’ll want to park on the side of the driveway because the car port is pretty tight. Overall a nice place to stay in a fabulous neighborhood- just one thing I wanted to make sure to point out. I broke my foot and had two broken toes on the other foot and hadn’t realized that not only is there only a spiral staircase to get upstairs in the unit but there is no bathroom available to use downstairs. Was a big challenge to have to walk up and down the spiral staircase in my condition so most of the time Id make sure to use the toilet at the beach, restaurants, wherever we happened to be before going back to the cottage, and at the end of the day I would determine my bedtime on when I had to go to the bathroom lol because I didn’t want to have to go back up then down again! Just want people to be aware that if you or anyone in your group has any kind of disability this may not be the place for you. Other than that Kailua is a special place and this is a perfectly fine place to stay!

The property is close to the beach, very short walk. Location is close to all amenities as well. Very clean unit, property managers were friendly and helpful. Parking is tight but adequate for med-sized cars. However, not an ideal unit for the elderly. The spiral staircase leading up to the bedrooms is tight and narrow but I'm 76 and made it okay. Just saying. I would recommend this property!

The location of this property was ideal. Easy to go anywhere on the island from this location. The property grounds were stunning. The onsite property owners were very friendly and helpful. The suites were nice however a good thorough cleaning is necessary as we had many unwanted flying and crawling visitors. Parking was an issue as more direction needs to be provided when three suite are occupied. Would recommend this property if you are looking for a quiet vacation.

Amazing Stay!
We stayed at this property with my senior mother, my husband, me and my 2 children aged almost 2 and 6. We had a fantastic time! I bugged Zak for a lot of communication in advance and he was always kind and answered super thoroughly and truly put my mind at ease. The property location was fantastic, just a short hop to an incredible beach and town. We could have stayed for ages. The amenities were lovely - nice when you are traveling that far to have all sorts of stuff to enjoy the beach at your disposal. Everything was clean and well thought out. We got a great tour from the owners, who made sure we had all we need. And my kids loved having the option of a pool! The only flags here (and it's a great property, was just tricky for my specific family) is that the spiral staircase is a bit steep so we had to keep the kids in the master bedroom with us, so would be mindful if your children are super young or if anyone in your party has strong mobility issues.
