My husband and I heard many great things in regards to staying in Kailua, rather than staying in overcrowded and overpriced Waikiki. Patty and Bob were wonderful hostesses and we had all the comforts of home. If you want to see some of the best beaches in the world, this is the place to be. Remember it is not beachfront property, but for the value, a quick drive, (less than a mile), is well worth it.
