This is a quiet hideaway nestled in a nice neighborhood only 1/2 mile (less than 15 minutes walk) from one of the most gorgeous and best swimming beaches on the island. The studio is spacious and well furnished. For when you don’t feel like the quick trip to the beach, there is an attractively landscaped backyard with a pool and chaise lounges. Barbara and Lionel are charming and friendly hosts. They are there whenever you need them and do such a great job at making you feel welcome and at home. I loved the fresh cut up pineapple, bagels and red anthurium flowers that awaited me when I checked in. There are some delicious food places within about a 12 minute walk. Kailua offers a nice mix of suburban standards like Whole Foods as well as local businesses and boutiques. Parking is never a problem and if your sightseeing plans take you to Honolulu, it’s just 30 minutes away by one of the three highways over the hill…
