We had an incredible stay at Misty Ann's - the location is beyond perfect. Most of the crowds flock to Kailua Beach, about a 30 minute walk down the street, but there isn't much public parking by Lanikai Beach, so it's much less crowded - one of the most beautiful beaches in the world and space to enjoy it. There's access to the ocean right across the street for on-demand dips and beach access is a lovely 8 minute walk down Mokulua. The neighborhood is entirely residential, but still only a 5 minute drive to Kailua Town for groceries at Whole Foods and yummy poke at Hibachi. It's also a 10 minute walk to the trailhead for the wonderful Pillbox hike, where we saw a beautiful rainbow blanket the lush, mountainous landscape.
Communication with Misty Ann was seamless. The place is simple and cozy. Don't worry about not having AC - the fans and multitude of windows makes for comfortable, breezy eves.
We will be back - in our dreams and in person :)
