The Plumeria Beach House far exceeded our expectations - it was comfortable and had everything we needed for a great time in Kailua. Jim was there to welcome us and show us around the property, and it made for a relaxing time in beautiful Kailua town. The location is right across the street from Kailua Beach Park, just cross the grass and you're on one end of Kailua Beach, right by a lifeguard tower. There are loads of beach toys, umbrellas, and the best beach chairs (Tommy Bahama ones!) for you to take to the beach, and an outdoor shower to wash off when you return. And one tip: although there is a/c in the main living area, there are only small portable units in the bedroom, so try to utilize the ceiling fans and open the windows at night to get the air circulating and cool down the rooms. We've visited Hawaii many times over the years, and Kailua is our favorite place to stay. There are wonderful restaurants and shops to visit, along with a fantastic Thursday night farmers market to enjoy. There is a Longs Drugs, Whole Foods, Down to Earth, Foodland and Safeway if needed - basically everything you need within a 8-10 minute drive! You'll have a great time at the Plumeria Beach House!
