My husband, two kids, and my parents all stayed over Christmas. Everything was wonderful! The set up with a master suite downstairs is ideal for couples traveling together. There was plenty of room to spread out and have privacy when you wanted it. The apartment was sparkling clean and stocked with everything you'd need to prepare a meal. The lanai was the perfect place to sit and have a cup of coffee in the morning or watch the sun setting behind the ko'olau at night! Easy access to Kailua town and the highway for getting around the island. Everything you need to hit the beach was right there at our disposal (boards, towels, sand toys, chairs,etc). The quick walk to the private access was perfect for our family. We took the bikes out a couple of times, which is the best way to get around Kailua! Martha and Rob were super responsive if we had any questions. And being Christmas, Martha went the extra mile setting us up with a Christmas tree, lights and decorations! Thanks for the extra touch! We'll definitely stay at Pilipu Palms next time we're in Kailua. The perfect family vacation!
