Being in the center of Kailua town was cool, and the complex is surprizingly quiet. The place has air conditioning, but I used it only to refresh the room when I first arrived. The breeze kept me comfortable.

If you are going to eat meals out, it'd be ok, otherwise it takes ingenuity & walking down to 2 nice bbq grills--your stove unless you can nuke everything you consume, and good luck finding a pan.

I stayed a week, & as I cook most of my meals, this wasn't a fit for me. The single big sink in the kiosk-sized kitchen/bathroom meant constantly sanitizing it. It's a pain to buy salt & pepper & toilet paper. As a constant traveler, that's my low-water mark. No peeler or knife capable of cutting anything & one kitchen towel & washrag.

The complex is a nice old Hawaiian-style place that is kept very clean, and has an excellent small pool area and. The staff go out of their way to be helpful. The condo is on the 3rd floor, but its only 2 flights of stairs, for which my knees were grateful.
