I don't like writing negative reviews, so I'll start with the positive points. The location is great, in walking distance to Kailua Beach! The saltwater pool was very enjoyable and Barbara has many beautiful plants in the yard. Also, Barbara and her family are very nice people. However, the rental unit is in need of some general maintenance and cleaning. Holes in the walls, dust under the bed and other places. Sound also carries through a wall that looks to be not totally solid. And I wasn't thrilled to have ants and roaches show up on our first night. When mentioned, the bugs were promptly addressed by Barbara and her step-son, which was appreciated! But I doubt the issue would have come up with better cleaning and upkeep of the unit. Overall, the pros were really overshadowed by the cons, which was disappointing. But with some extra care, this could be a small and efficient unit, for a no-frills trip.
