The house is located up on top of a hill with dedicated parking spaces. The neighborhood is safe and quiet and is just a short 3-5 minute walk (sidewalk/bike lane path) to both Lanikai Beach and Kailua Beach Park. There is no a/c in the house, but once you open up all the screened-in doors and windows and get the fans going, it is cool enough to relax/sleep. A beach umbrella, towels, beach mats, a fold-up chair, boogie boards and several sets of snorkeling gear were at the house for our use. We rented bicycles from a local place (walking distance from the house - $75/wk) and were able to easily cycle into Kailua town (dedicated bike lane all the way) where there are several grocery stores, pharmacies, a Starbucks, Target and several little boutiques and local eateries. This is the best place to stay to get all of what the windward side of Oahu has to offer; stunning ocean views, easy beach access, and a nearby town with everything you could possibly need!
