Great location 2 blocks from a public access beach. You are also able to get to Southern beaches and hikes as well as Honolulu in about 30 minutes, and up to the North Shore in 1hr-1.5hrs depending on the traffic. My husband and I made the loop up to Haleiwa twice during our stay and was still able to enjoy the local beaches in the morning and evening.
We appreciated how clean the studio was upon arrival. There is a prepared kitchen including Tupperware and cooler if you like to prepare lunches on the road like we did. We also enjoyed the community and friendliness of the Kailua locals. The local market was great for coffee before a morning walk on the beach, when the locals seem to walk their dogs. The outdoor shower was lovely after the beach and we regularly used the beach towels, umbrella, mat, and they even provided snorkels. It was a great "local" Hawaii experience for us - just how we like to vacation!
