We very much enjoyed our stay. We really liked the location directly across the street from Kailua Beach Park, and the great value for a quick walk to the beach. We though the part of the beach near where the river enters the ocean was the nicest place to swim since the water was warmer there. We were able to cook breakfast in the house each morning, using the electric tea-kettle and a hotplate, so that was great. Bob was renovating the house next door during our stay, and provided us with a lot of helpful tips and recommendations, but did not impose in anyway whatsoever. He was also kind enough to ask us when we would be out of the house, since he had to something loud to do. It was very quiet throughout our stay. One recommendation I would have is to rent a smaller vehicle since it is necessary to back out of the driveway, which is narrow. We rented a Jeep Wrangler, which is rather wide, and had a hard time backing out of the driveway (could be that we aren't the best backer-uppers ;)). The house gets a lot of ocean breeze, so we never turned on the air conditioning. Would definitely stay there again!
