This is a cute beach studio within walking distance of Kailua Beach and several restaurants, also close driving distance to Lanikai Beach and Pillbox hike, which we enjoyed. There are also beach towels and beach chairs to borrow. Check-in/check-out was smooth, and Gabriele was very responsive. Unfortunately we found it hard to relax and enjoy being inside the unit itself. Being near the beach and old, the entire unit has a musty odor. As other reviewers have mentioned, there are ants and geckos/salamanders. We went in February and it gets quite chilly at night, but there are no blankets (only sheets) on the bed -- we found a quilt in the cupboard which didn't help much so we slept in our down jackets as sleeping bags. Lastly, as advertised, this is a very environmentally conscious home, and there are many reminders posted throughout the unit to remind you to keep Hawaii clean and beautiful!
