We enjoyed the beach house and the community of Kailua very much! We look forward to another visit. Lori and Kia'ana were wonderful. The beach house and grounds exceeded expectation, very clean, roomy, comfortable, and conveniently located. We loved everything about it!

The house was wonderful !!!! You could get up and watch the sun rise over the ocean, while having your coffee on the back patio. It had a huge back yard, so we didn't have to worry about being too close to the water for the little grand girls, but the beach was right off the end of the grass!! The house and yard was very nice, clean, well maintained, and quiet,also the neighbors are friendly. The owner was very nice, 5 stars! Miss it already!!!!! M. Snodgrass 3/1/2012

Location is excellent, and Kailua itself is a most lovely spot. The town is small but for a short stay of say, a week, there are several good spots for dinner and very good supermarkets. The house is cute, small but very well set up. To take into consideration is that bedroom upstairs has little privacy since it is a loft arrangement. Big living/family room and comfortable seating and eating arrangement. Two TVs were a plus for a couple of rainy days. My only concern, and why we do not rate it a full 5 stars is that it could better furnished. A more thorough cleaning is also recommended. For example, lampshades in one bedroom were rusted, there were candle was drippings in the bedside tables, and pots and pans also needed replacement (we ended up buying a small skillet ourselves. I would encourage the owner to look into this since it would certainly improve the overall rental experience. Having said that, the location is so lovely, it almost makes one forget these complaints. Thank you for whoever came to help us when the lights went out for a couple of hours (having candles and flashlight in the house is also recommended). We had a marvelous time overall, and these comments are meant as positive feedback to owner/manager. Thanks to Lori and the management team for easy rental process experience. We also met the owner and my kids enjoyed his friendly conversation. There is a good chance we will return. Aloha!

Comment by Owner/Manager:

As always we are thankful for feedback that could help us improve our services. We have since looked into replacing some of the items in the home and shared this information with the cleaning staff as well. As stated by the guest, candles are not kept in the home so we can only assume that any candle wax on a nightstand was spilled during a power outage from candles that we had delivered? This review comes as a bit of a surprise as we are adamant about letting guests know upon arrival that we are readily available to address any needs or concerns and will promptly deliver amenities if it is in our power to do so. Had we been informed during their stay, we could have cleared these issues immediately. This guest is thankful that we showed up when the entire street had a power outage but failed to notify us of any other concerns. We have built a very personable team with the intent of keeping open communication with our guests. This is the main reason we enjoy what we do...We enjoy meeting our guests and sharing our Island Paradise.

My husband and I and 4 teens stayed in Kailua Kai II in October - we had a fabulous vacation! The house itself was perfect, with lots of indoor and outdoor space for us to spread out. The house had everything we needed, including outdoor shower (with warm water!), boogie boards, towels and beach toys, a well equipped kitchen, and a bathroom for every bedroom. The beds were comfortable, the home was in good shape, the neighbours were friendly, and the location couldn't be better. We spent hours body surfing immediately in front of our house, and enjoying the beach itself complete with friendly locals and dogs. One of my best memories will be of drinking my coffee at the beach every morning while watching the sun rise. The kids loved the big yard for playing ball. We discovered a great new restaurant in Kailua, "Prima" which served pizza, but had a great selection of salads and appetizers too. We loved it so much, we went back twice! They don't have a wine list yet, so take your own bottle, and they'll only charge you $5 corkage. For less expensive meals, head to Maui Taco - I love the Ko'opika burrito or fish taco salad. The management has been great to deal with; there when you need them, but not intrusive.

1. Everyone had their own bathroom!! The view!!! 2. fine 3. Swimming with the turtles 4. Agnes's Portugese bakery, love the malassada. 5. Family dinner for mom's 90th birthday 6. Renting a house on the beach is the only way to visit the islands 7. rent a kayak, snorkel, visit the north shore I have a bit of a problem with the $500 cleaning fee. I think this is a bit exorbitant. Perhaps a partial refund if the unit is left in good condition. We left it as least as clean as when we arrived, beds just needed stripping and sheets laundered. Other than that we loved our stay.

Everything about this house was perfect for us. It was not "fancy", but comfortable, homey, and suited all our needs. The beautiful back lawn leading to the beach was our grand children's favorite place; mine, the terrace overlooking the yard and beach. Everything in the house and yard were beautifully maintained. The location was also perfect for us as Kailua is our favorite location on the Windward side.
