Lynn is a truly exceptional host! We stayed at her house for 1.5 months, which was by far one of our best vacation stays so far. Lynn provided not only a well-designed and beautifully furnished house but a personalized experience. She timely attended to every single question I had, making sure that we feel comfortable. Our family often was outside sitting in one of four patios enjoying breakfast in a warm breeze, or relaxing in a living area. Jacuzzi in the downstairs master suit, which has a sliding wall opening to the yard, provided an unforgettable experience of working, taking a bath, or napping indoor and outdoor at the same time. Kids absolutely loved it, especially on rainy days. One thing that would distinguish Lynn's house from many others is that it not a full-time rental. The owner lives in the house part of the year and does not mind sharing many of the personal items with guests including lots of extra kitchen and dining room items, yard items, extra furniture and furnishings, tons of beach gear, even some food. The walk to the beach is about 25 minutes which is easily done by adults, but hard for small children. Multiple beach accesses will get you to almost empty beaches close to vibrant and sometimes overcrowded Kailua town. Our absolute favorite spot is Lanikai, which is a good snorkeling spot especially on a sunny but not windy day and it is perfect for small children. Stores are within 5 minute drive. Safeway has Friday deals. Wholefoods will give you good deals and a cheap pizza every Thursday with Amazon Prime membership. We left with a feeling that Kailua is one of the best places on Oahu, thanks to Lynn and her outstanding hospitality. Thank you very much and I hope we will stay in your house again.
