We booked this place due to last minute cancelation on a holiday weekend. There are not many Airbnb’s in Kailua and this one of the few. We’re glad we had to opportunity to stay in here and experience a different vibe. The beach is literally a 2 min walk and Lanakai 5-10 min. We enjoyed our morning coffee at the beach, then make breakfast, then head out to Lanakia beach for the rest of the day. We also kayaked and there is a kayak rental nearby. The place has everything you need from beach essentials to coolers, to small hot plate to cook small meals. I very much enjoyed eating fruits, spam, rice, and egg in the morning. There’s Buzz or Kalapawai Market for lunch/dinner, within walking distance.
We hardly used our car, mostly just to pick up food. We highly recommend this place if you want to avoid Waikiki. Parking is not as bad as what people say. Dont book a big car and you’ll be fine! Hahah…i mean..why? All you need in to bring in Hawaii are your shorts, flip flops, and tshirt! So pack light and enjoy the beach.
If you see Bob, ask him for recommendations, there are plenty of places to go and eat around Kailua.
If you see this place in your search list, book it, promise you wont get disappointed with the location.
