Cheri and Scott are ideal hosts. They met us on the driveway when we arrived and gave us a tour of the apartment and property. They answered our many questions and had lots of helpful tips. They even invited us to their home, upstairs above the apartment, for some relaxed conversation. The apartment is as pictured, lovely and comfortable. The small living room with picture window overlooking the garden and fountain is great for relaxing and birdwatching. We cooked many meals in the small but functional kitchen, all the appliances worked great, and there were useful storage containers and water bottles. The bed is super comfortable with nice linens and there is an “Alexa” nearby to play your favorite music on demand. The bathroom is stocked with handmade products from local vendors. The beautifully landscaped garden has heliconias, birds of paradise and other beautiful flowers. There are two comfy chairs with ottomans, under a large umbrella, where you can relax and bird watch. Beautiful Kailua Beach is right out the beach gate. It takes 2 minutes to walk from the apartment to the beach. Chairs, mats, umbrellas and large beach towels are provided. We recommend taking the one mile walk through Kailua Beach Park to Lanikai Beach, and then strolling along Lanikai Beach. Watching the kite boarders on Kailua Beach was so exciting and entertaining we found it hard to read our books. The apartment is super convenient to shopping (including Whole Foods, Safeway, Target), yet the beaches are undeveloped and perfectly clean. This is a gem of a place!
