Stay here, you will not be disappointed!
I developed a friendship with Stephanie immediately after my booking. I messaged her with questions about the area and she always responded immediately. I felt like I was chatting with an old friend and was excited to meet her in person. As soon as we got to the house, she greeted us outside and gave us a little tour of the house. It's a beautiful place. Fully remodeled, all modern, wonderful open kitchen with huge island for plenty of prep and cook space. There was a delicious box of chocolate covered macadamia nuts and a jar of homemade jar of guava jelly waiting for us in the kitchen. The fridge was also stocked with bottles of water and cans of flavored iced tea drinks (with plenty more stocked in the cabinet under the kitchen island). Stephanie is quite the hostess. Throughout our stay, she brought us over homemade cookies, almond brittle (YUM!!!!) and another jar of spiced apple cranberry relish!
Each of the three bedrooms is very nice and beautifully decorated, with comfy beds, plenty of closet space, and a powerful air conditioner in each room; a nice and thoughtful luxury for those of us not accustomed to so much humidity. The master bedroom has a huge closet and also a door that leads out to the private and tropical backyard. It also has a full bath which is nice and clean with plenty and plenty of clean towels. If you forgot your shampoo and conditioner or body wash, no worries, there were extra bottles in the shower.
The hallway bathroom was huge and very nice, also with plenty of towels. But there was also a linen closet in the hallway with even more towels (nice, fresh and bright white towels!). And if you should run out of towels (which I highly doubt, there is a washer/dryer in another hallway closet, including tide pods and dryer sheets, for you to throw in a load in needed .
Going to the beach? No problem! The linen closet is stocked with plenty of large, good quality beach towels to use. I didn't count how many, but at least 10 which is more than enough for a couple days at the beach. The car port also has a plastic bin that has beach toys for use, such as boogie boards, snorkel fins, a couple of beach chairs, beach umbrella, straw beach mat, etc. There is also an ice chest you can use. The house is located just about a mile from Kailua beach, rated best in the US. It is absolute paradise with white sand and turquoise blue water. I can't really swim well and the ocean freaks me out, but even I went into the water and jumped some big waves (well, they were big to me) and cruised out a couple waves on the boogie board. So much fun! and a good beach if you have small kids.
This house is also in close proximity to all the conveniences of home. Just a short drive to grocery stores, restaurants, and even Target. I just wished I had booked a longer stay because 5 nights was just not long enough for me...... I was not ready to go home yet! We look forward to coming back and staying here in the future.
