My family and I (four total) stayed in Richard and Janina's home for a week and a half in April/May 2014. The home was exactly as described on this site--we had no regrets about our decision. We enjoyed every day at their welcoming and central home. Located on a hillside overlooking Kailua, the house was always full of cool breezes and abundant natural light. We often finished our days at the outside bbq/lounge area, which was really nice....and used the grill that was provided on more than a few occasions too! Richard and Janina covered all of the bases and more - linens and towels, kitchen utensils/spices, coffee, beach chairs, beach book library, and really everything you could want to have an easy holiday. This was really welcome, since bringing some of those items from home and/or having to buy others would have been expensive and cumbersome. Richard and Janina were onsite (separate space) or nearby if we needed anything. We strongly recommend that O'ahu travelers consider Kailua, it is ~20-25 minutes from Honolulu/Waikiki, but is far more charming with small restaurants/shops/coffee lounges, fewer crowds, great landscapes and beaches, and wonderful people. If you find yourself in this special town - do yourself a favor and stay with Richard and Janina. You won’t be disappointed. We’d love to stay with them again.
