We highly recommend staying at Gay’s wonderful house next to Kailua Beach! We were in Oahu celebrating my parent’s 50th wedding anniversary and spent a week there. The location is outstanding: we did not realize how close the house was to Kalawapai Market (cute little deli and market, which we visited daily for delicious coffee, food, and sundries) and just a few minutes more by foot to a shaded, lovely section of Kailua Beach. This ideal location made going to the beach and swimming in the crystal clear, calm ocean a several-time-a-day venture for us. The house felt spacious and had all the amenities we needed, including beach towels, beach chairs, snorkels, washing machine and dryer. The weather was occasionally hot while we were there, but the fans were sufficient during the day and the air conditioning units in the bedrooms made it easy to sleep at night. Note for bigger parties, only 2 of the 3 bedrooms have air conditioning (we did not use the third bedroom). Gay was a considerate and highly responsive host and we enjoyed talking with her and her mother. Gay even had wine and chocolate macadamia nut candy as a gift for us when we arrived. We would recommend anyone coming to Oahu to consider staying in Kailua at Gay’s house, you won’t regret it.
