Location, location, location. The entrance to the property is literally across the street from Kailua State Beach park. It’s a short walk to Lanikai beach and two of our favorite Kailua spots, the Walapai Market and Buzz’s Original Steakhouse. The proximity to all of these cannot be beat. Downtown Kailua is only a short drive away.
The unit was very cozy and clean. As with most beachside rentals we’ve stayed at this one is also equipped with folding chairs, umbrella and other gear that is available to those who stay. There is also a small patio and eating area with a table just outside of the unit.
We stayed for 3 nights and the owner (Bob) was on-site regularly over the course or our stay doing light maintenance. We should all be more cognizant of energy use, and I would add that the property manual for this rental clearly states that owner may make entry into the unit in an emergency OR if it is determined that the renters forgot to turn off the AC when stepping out. I bring this up in case someone is in need of absolute privacy during their stay. If so, I might suggest considering a different rental. However, I would also think that many who choose to rent an airBNB consider interaction with a property owner part of the experience, and Bob was super nice and certainly has plenty of recommendations for local dining and activities.
We love Kailua and would certainly consider staying in this rental again in the future.
