Wonderfully updated apartment in a central location. Shari and Tim's apartment has all the amenities we needed for cooking, walking to the beach and sitting on the patio for early Eve break. They provided us with kids plates and bowls which was helpful as well as basic cooking essentials. The pictures don't show the lovely vaulted ceilings and although it's a one bedroom it seems large. There are plenty of windows for cross breeze during the day but at night we used the well equipped AC unit to drown out the street noise.
The beach access is directly across the street which worked out well for our toddler who liked shorter visits and its an uncrowded area.
There are shops, dining and grocery stores within a mile perfect for mid day breaks from the sun. Morning brew was our fav. Coffee shop. They had great breakfast items too. Kailua was a wonderful location to start our vacation and we enjoyed the apartment.
