Mary provided a lot of useful information upon arrival and helped us out upon request during our stay. She was readily available to answer questions about snorkeling and bring us a needle/thread for a quick repair.

The apartment was quiet and a nice size, and it was great to have boogie boards, beach mats and towels available for our use.

The absolute best thing about this place is the location. Truly just a couple minutes walk to one of the nicest local beaches ever! We lounged, swam, and snorkeled right in our neighborhood each morning before breakfast. We were able to easily see yellow snapper, angel fish, rainbow fish among others. We even swam with a honu (sea turtle) our last morning. The beach doesn't have crashing waves so is great for less experienced swimmers.

The town has a great variety of casual restaurants with great food, and Mary has all the take out menus available at the apartment so we could plan ahead.

Overall, we really enjoyed Kailua town and especially the location of the apt. in the Lanikai area. Would return!
