I returned yesterday from a 10 day stay with a friend. Chase and Barbara are lovely hosts. Their home is quiet, peaceful and clean. Our bedroom was private and cozy. We felt very safe staying here. We lucked out finding this Airbnb and would highly recommend it.
They are located in a beautiful residential neighbourhood. Everyone we met loves Kailua! We walked to the beach every day, which was only a short walk from their house. The beach was not too crowded and extended to Kailua Beach Park and Lanikai beach. Beautiful white sand beaches perfect for long walks. They were extremely kind in lending us snorkel gear and boogie boards. They also have two bikes to rent. They keep to themselves but are more than willing to offer travel tips.
We used TheBus to get around the island for most of our trip. The bus stop is a two minute walk from their house and it is very straightforward to use. When we rented our car towards the end of the trip, it was a gorgeous drive along the north shore.
We walked to whole foods, which is a 20 minute walk from their house and bought food to cook in their awesome kitchen. They had everything you would need. It was clean and organized. There were also many shops and restaurants within walking distance.
The 3 dogs are all sweet and not intimidating in any way.
Overall, Chase and Barbara go the extra length to make sure their guests are comfortable and have everything they need. They are extremely easy to communicate with. We hope to stay here again one day!
