Gail's apartment was perfect for my daughter and me, and it was stocked with everything that we needed. The towels were soft and fluffy, the beds were comfy, and we never heard the owners on the other side of the house. The house is in a quiet, modest suburban neighborhood, where it's safe to walk at night and there's no loud noises (except on garbage day or when someone's mowing the lawn). Kailua isn't a touristy town -- there aren't ANY big hotels or resorts. Just gorgeous, uncrowded sandy beaches. I hate to let the secret out, but why would anyone stay in Honolulu when life is so much better just 35 minutes away?
