We were so glad that we decided to stay in Kailua during our one week visit to Oahu. Janina and Richard's house was the perfect place to retire after the daily activities of visiting places. The house is also located near Lanikai Beach, one of the best beaches in the Islands and far from the crowds.

Richard was a wonderful host, briefing us not only about the house and the amenities but also sharing his knowledge about the island - where to go for good food, what sites to visit, where to get very affordable souvenirs. Staying at their house was like being home - the kitchen was well equipped (good Kona coffee even provided for!), laundry facilities was fully equipped (no need to buy small packages of laundry detergent and fabric softener). Most impressive was the wide array of books available including one about Roadside Geology of Hawaii - esp since Geology is my field of study. We will definitely consider coming back and recommending the place to friends who will come for a visit.
