(5 out of 5)
We were in Oahu for the 2008 Pac Cup and chose this house becuase it was on the beach and just a few minutes from Kanehoe Bay Yacht Club, The location of this house was absolutely wonderful. The beach and water were beautiful and everyone in the party kept asking me how I found it. We were in absolute heaven. Everytime we walked out back someone would comment again on how beautiful it was and how lucky we were.
The two sitting areas (each with a TV) were great with the kids. We could send them off to whichever one the adults weren't using to watch TV. I would give it 4 and a half stars if I could. The only thing holding me back from a five were some little minor things like the one room by the garage was really dark and that bed was hard. The master bedroom was great and had a softer bed.
Gosh even with that I should give it five stars but I can't figure out how to change it now. We would definitely stay in this unit again. One tip on the unit, look in the cupboard at the far left that faces the small table before you go to the grocery store. We did not realize there was food in there and we left things in it when we left, too.
Enjoy!
The best thing about the unit was its location and privacy, the beach was great.
The Customer Service was excelent, they were there for check in and check out.
The best part of the trip was family time spent together in a comfortable environment.
Funny as it may seen the best food was at the Hilton Hawiian village, there price and service was better than any of the local places we tried, that did not make sense to me.
The coast line lead to tons of spactural photos.
My advise to someone else staying in the unit, is plan on playing on the beach as much as possiable.
The thing I liked about this trip was we got out and visited all the Island, there is plenty to see and do.
We did pay a deposit and left the place in great shap, so 60 days to return the deposit seems unproporational
Kailua Beach Bungalow is truly a one of a kind Hawaiian home - fantastic views and right on beautiful Kailua beach. All eight of us fit into the home as if it was our own. The kitchen is extremely people friendly - lots of working space. We loved the two sitting areas - one for the adults and one for the kids! Looking forward to our next vacation.
We had a great time at Kailua Beach Bungalow, the house is in a great location, as well as being a very comfortable home. The weather was also fortunately fantastic. I higly recommend this vacation rental.
One of the nicer vacation homes for rent. Great set up for 8 people, with an open kitchen and lots of common spaces. We really enjoyed it.
We had a blast! The location was great and the beach access was ideal. The garage door didn't work and that wasn't taken care of in a timely fashion. The fridge was rusted and a little gross, but other than that, great place. Wonderful for the kids! We will probably stay there next year!
This beachfront bungalow was a very pleasant place for a family reunion. Everybody enjoyed the ocean view, beautiful beach, and BBQ in the back yard. It is in a quiet residential area, but not too far from Honolulu or North Shore. Highly recommended!
The House is beautiful! The beach is beautiful. The only thing that can be updated is the cushions in the family room sofas.
Thank you for a wonderful stay. The house exceeded expectations, and the service from the rental agency and the property managers was excellent. Special thanks to Sue, who was a pleasure to deal with.
Aloha and mahalo.
Wonderful location, and very helpful support staff. I would, though, remove the alarm system completely, since it is not functioning properly, and given the rather open design of the house, the beep beep beep that the alarm made every time a door was open was very stressful for us, since we had two twin two year olds napping/sleeping, and were constantly afraid of waking them. Things did break, which happens in such a salt air environment, but Powell was very good about repairing/replacing things very promptly, and all in all the design of the home, and the location, makes for a very enjoyable low-key holiday stay. Thanks again!
Thanks for everything. The house, the view and the service was fantastic. We had a lovely time an hopefully can return someday. Thanks, the Wynn Family
While the location is superb, this home is in need of some major updating and facelifting throughout. It came as no surprise that the owners are selling it, which may explain why they have not put any money into it for some time. And, although it was disclosed to us there was no air conditioning, we didn't realize how not having it would effect our comfort. It is a must!
We enjoyed the beach tremendously and loved being only a few steps away from a beautiful and very private beach. We intend to revisit Kailua Bay!
