Location, location, location! Our family has stayed at several beaches and my kids requested Kailua Beach. This particular location is away from the main public parking so it is nice and private. Being just one house away from the beach with a nice sand path just outside side gate, you always had time to unwind at the beach. The next biggest "pro" is Angelene is your host. She was so welcoming and my family felt more secure with her being around. We as a family agreed we would stay there again because of her. There was tandem parking for two and if you had a friend/relative visiting there was enough room along the main driveway for an additional car. There is no air conditioning, however there is plenty of wind in Kailua to cool off the house. Also being on the second floor you can leave your windows open all night. There was a "hot" shower outside to get the sand off after the beach and a washer and dryer right next to the shower for your use. You have your own private stairs to the entry of your home. There was shopping and groceries just about one mile away. This place ended up being a fantastic vacation home for my family and I.
