Our family of 5 loved our stay here in Kailua for 2 weeks over Christmas. The house's location was even better than we expected - just a 3 minute walk before we were playing in the surf most days. And the location of Kailua itself was great for us - away from the crowds of Honolulu but an easy drive there for a Xmas shopping at the Ala Moana mall, a kid birthday dolphin encounter at Kahala, and two trip towards the north shore (zip-lining and the Hukilau Polynesian Center); I think our morning drive to HNL to fly home took under 25 minutes. The area had something for everyone - the Olomana golf course, church, cinema, the farmers' market, the town lap pool, gorgeous running routes, and a range of tasty dining (from Goen on the high end to decadent breakfast at Cinnamon's and casual sandwiches from Kalapawai Market). The house was great for cooking (kitchen and the charcoal bbq), and we opted to eat most meals out on the lanai. The closet full of beach toys was a great touch. The big TV in the living room did the trick when we needed to watch sports, and I liked not having TVs in our bedrooms (the 5th bedroom has one). Jen was always super quick to respond to any questions. I'd absolutely recommend a stay here!
