"property was attractive, pool area was elegant and beautiful area to upgrade too with private area and personal loungers and TV. I'm guessing this area is pricey but options would be perfect if you have small children. Good food at pool area too. Location is perfect to all downtown shopping and beach access"

Kailua Oceanfront-60' Lap Pool - Upscale Quiet Neighborhood - Legal

Kailua Oceanfront-60' Lap Pool - Upscale Quiet Neighborhood - Legal

10/10 Excellent
"The place and location are excellent for Kailua beach and groceries. One thing to note is that there are two units, one faces the ocean and one faces the back of the property with a view of the neighboring houses, street and pool (we were in the latter). Street is quiet as it is a cul de sac. Also of note is that this is a very authentic neighborhood experience— with construction noises and dogs barking and landscaping staff both in the property and neighboring houses. There are only very quiet cats on the property. The noise was not excessive for us, but a major roof renovation is underway so visitors may want to keep that in mind. The kitchen is well equipped— lots of opportunity for cooking and stocked for coffee and tea. We were welcomed with a bottle of wine (so nice!), flowers, and lovely toiletries. Amply supplied with towels. Well lit and a lovely lanai on both sides for eating and relaxing. Shower is great. Access to the loft is via a ladder — so be sure you are very spry if you’re planning to spend anytime up there. Bring eye shades if you are sensitive to light.wonderful place!mahalo for having us!"

"We had a really nice stay at this property. Really enjoyed long walks on the beautiful beach watching the sunrise. No air, and since the unit is at the very back of the house furthest from the beach, it can be a little too warm in the late afternoon. Nicely equipped including beach chairs, beach towels, and access to the beachside chairs and table shown in the photo."

Delicious meals and laughter and togetherness come so rarely in the busy lives we all lead -- Kailuana was the perfect setting. A big Mahalo! to Private Homes Hawai'i for making this dream a reality. Throughout the booking process they were so helpful and understanding. Mahalo Barbea, Steven and Patty for reaching out to help us better prepare for this once in a lifetime family vacation. Mahalo!"
