| Hale Kai (35 Pilipu Place) offers the utmost in relaxation and tranquility. Feel the white sand between your toes, bask in the warm Hawaiian sun, dive into the crystal clear aqua waters, and be glad you've made the best choice... Pilipu Place! Located 30 yards from the best Beach in Hawaii with sand right off the property. Our two story Hale Kai offers the most luxurious and comfortable accommodation for the price!
Hale Kai features fine furnishings, including Koa wood cabinets, marble baths, hardwood floors, crown moldings, and antique fixtures. From the upstairs lanai, there is a gorgeous ocean view through the waving coconut fronds. The lower lanai hosts an intimate tropical setting. Fragrant trade winds keep the home cool year round. Situated on an acre of land, the lawn is large enough to practice your putting, play Croquet, set up a volley ball net, or just enjoy the open space.
The property is tropically landscaped with beautiful plumeria trees, red hibiscus bushes, orchids, and of course, a coconut grove. |

Gift shopping in Kailua was great fun, lots of little shops and friendly service. Try Italian at ZIA's. Get a one of a kind T-Shirt from Aaron's Dive Shop ( 15 bucks). Pass on Starbucks and go Morning Brew at 600 Kailua Rd No 119.
My advice to someone else staying here would be to grocery shop before arriving, be sure to include toilet paper and paper towels.. Do not expect the freezer to keep your ice cream and popsicles frozen...only ice.
We think improvements would be that someone be there to show you the ropes on arrival. We had difficulty figuring out the front door and alarm system. A piece of paper in the kitchen instructed us to go next door for important information, but the neighbor told us that must be old paperwork as they don't have anything to do with this rental home any longer.
The home could use another cutting board in the kitchen, a pair of binoculars; and a BBQ should be placed on the upstairs balcony. The one in the yard out front is falling apart and too much work to go up and down the stairs and around the house to use.
