I stayed at Glenda's place over Christmas with my family. We had a great time. The house is on a private street and it is only 1/2 block from a beautiful beach. Since there is no public access, the beach felt very private and pretty empty. Also, Kailua Beach is absolutely beautiful. The house is great. Since we had a big group, we cooked a bit at the house. The fridge is HUGE and we were able to buy food for the week for 8 people. The outdoor space was the best. The covered patio next to the pool was really nice. We spend most of our time outside. I would definitely recommend the house for a big group. We had 8 in our group and we felt like we had plenty of room. Also, it is exactly one mile from the town of Kailua. The town had a Whole Foods, some great restaurants (including Maui Brewing) and a Starbucks.
