Clean, comfy and peaceful place to stay in Kailua. Listing is an accurate description. It's about 2 miles from the hustle and bustle of tourists in downtown Kailua. There is a Safeway practically across the street and yoga at a church within walking distance. This location is 3 miles from Lanikai and close to Kailua beach as the listing describes. 30 minutes from Waikiki and 25 minutes from the airport.

Bring your own beach towels, these are not provided. A car is fairly necessary to easily get around, especially if you plan to explore other parts of the island.

The studio is at the back of the house with a private sliding door entrance. No direct sun really reaches the back deck. Being in the tropics, there are a few bugs that make there way into the ground floor studio. There are screens on all windows but a few bugs still make their way in. I couldn't catch a pesky mosquito which lead to about 6 bites. Also due to humidity, bath towels tend to not dry completely.

I like a clean floor because I walk around barefoot in the house. I would have liked to have a broom available to sweep the floor throughout the week. I asked for one but was directed to a dust pan.

Toni is a gracious host who is friendly, timely and attentive.
