A couple we know recommended this bungalow back in 2012; we sought it out for use during our 2014 Waimanalo Beach wedding and follow-on honeymoon. Bottom line up front: Fantastic experience; my wife and I would absolutely stay here again. We are a gay couple; we felt nothing but warmth and acceptance from our hosts and wonderful Kailua town.

Cheri answered questions promptly and provided really helpful information during the whole process--from booking the bungalow over a year in advance through the end of our 10-day stay. She is quick to respond to questions and provides lots of helpful info and input.

Cheri and her husband first welcomed us as we pulled in to the driveway. Cheri then gave us a tour of the property and the bungalow. Welcome gifts, little surprises, useful local info--it was all there. We could tell a lot of thoughtful attention to detail and care had gone into this place. It made all the difference!

The bungalow was comfortable, clean, romantic, and exactly what we were looking for as fiancees and newlyweds. Every once and a while we heard someone walking on the floor above (part of the bungalow sits below the main residence). It was a minor thing we easily forgot and overlooked. The pros of this place more than make up for this con.

Some of the most memorable parts of our stay included:
-arrival gifts (the ground coffee lasted us the whole 10 days!),
-surprise sparkling wine on our doorstep after we got married,
-breakfast from the Kalapawai Market next door (kalua pork burrito!),
-the perfect proximity to Kailua Beach, the hustle & bustle of Waikiki, and the North Shore,
-spending lots of time reading & relaxing in the garden room (the day bed is crazy comfortable),
-the numerous amenities.

The location of this place can't be beat and it is a major benefit of staying here. For instance, if you're military, it's a short and easy drive to Kaneohe MCBH for shopping (alcohol, commissary, Marine Mart, etc.). It's an easy drive to the heart of Kailua town (farmer's market, Longs Drugs, Whole Foods, etc.) and a quick walk to Kailua Beach, Lanikai Beach, the awesome Kalapawai Market, some restaurants and some shopping.

Also, we highly recommend Cheri's restaurant recommendations--they were all just great (especially The Food Company)!

When we return to Oahu, this will be our first choice of residence. The secret is out--book early!
