Vacation review for Kailua Ocean Front Hideaway - Mountain Side in Kailua, Oahu:
We loved our stay in Hawaii, it was beautiful, perfectly warm, low humidity, and very few bugs, (except for the tiny ants all over the counter, they were not bad at all). I thought the condo was well stocked, and they had many items probably from previous guests that came in handy, like sunscreen, and bug spray, and ziplock baggies. The beach umbrella was a life saver. The boogie boards were fun, totally used the snorkal gear, and beach towells. I never met the owners but they left a small binder with advice, also very helpful.
One morning we had to leave at 4:15 am to make an inter island flight, and we accidentally woke up someone, it may have been the owner, were sorry about that.
I loved how well it was stocked, and that the two bedrooms were seperate from each other so we couldnt "hear" each other. The a/c in every room was appreciated.
The only down fall was it was very very plain, no pictures or anything in the bedrooms, little artwork, plain white walls, and i really would have loved having a wall mirror, or any mirror in the room. We were sharing with another couple. And with only 1 bathroom, i would have liked to have a mirror in the room. The only thing i would change would be to paint the walls a pretty comforting color, heck any color. And to put up some nice framed mirrors, one in each bedroom.
I would pack differently next time i went to Hawaii, i would pack just a couple swimsuits, a few skirts (cause i am a girl), a couple shirts, Tevas and flipflops. Although we did do hiking, most people just had on "reef shoes" or tevas. They were the perfect shoes, cause we were constantly wet, then dry, then hiking, then walking on very sharp rocks. And definatly buy flowers for your hair, cause only in Hawaii can you walk around with flowers in your hair and its completly normal.
definatly don't forget a Backpack!!!
My husband, a few swimshorts, tevas, and a couple tshirts would have done the job.
Waikiki, defintaly not all that great, the north shore and kailua, much prettier, not as crowded. way easier parking. My favorite place to eat, was the coldstone in Kailua, I know boring, but somehow it was soooo good.
Buy whatever food you can at Costco, it was significantly cheaper than safeway. a carton of 18 eggs at safeway was $6.99 and a gallon of milk was $5. Costco had normal mainland prices.
I can't wait to come back!
Thank you
