This is a very basic, clean home in a densely populated area of Kailua. The host is very communicative and provides chairs, cooler and all you need for a successful day at the beach. He also generously allowed us to check in early.
The bedrooms are clean and worked well for our family of four. The beds are all large and comfortable.
There is a strip mall that is walking distance with fast food, but not much else nearby. The beach is driving distance and one of the best on Oahu.
There were a few things that we were disappointed about. The pin for the house dropped on Kamahele St and suggested the house is backed by the golf course. This is not the case at all. As mentioned, it is a densely-populated residential area.
Additionally, the posting does not make it entirely clear that this is a triplex. The owner and family live upstairs and in the second apartment. All of the outdoor spaces are shared, which makes use of the BBQ and yard a bit awkward.
The kitchen is sparsely stocked with just one pan and two pots. If you’re hoping to make dinner, it will be difficult. We were challenged to make breakfast for four with just one pan and a short supply of silverware and dishes.
If your hope is to have a home base that you can explore from and spend little time at, this is a great house.
