We loved everything about our stay here. Kailua is a charming, laid back beach town. This home is close to shopping and dining, and about a mile from the most beautiful beaches. The beach items provided by the host, like chairs, towels, a cooler, boogie boards, umbrella was much appreciated. They even launched their kayak for us to use which was really fun! We felt more like family than customers because of Ratana's awesome home cooking! She also took us on an amazing hike that we probably wouldn't have experienced without her. She was very knowledgeable and helpful about things to do on the island. We rented a car which we felt was necessary, and they let us park in their driveway like we lived there! We had an amazing and wonderful experience and we can't wait to go back! Thank you John and Ratana :)
