Kailua Oceanfront-60' Lap Pool - Upscale Quiet Neighborhood - Legal

10/10 Excellent

"The place and location are excellent for Kailua beach and groceries. One thing to note is that there are two units, one faces the ocean and one faces the back of the property with a view of the neighboring houses, street and pool (we were in the latter). Street is quiet as it is a cul de sac. Also of note is that this is a very authentic neighborhood experience— with construction noises and dogs barking and landscaping staff both in the property and neighboring houses. There are only very quiet cats on the property. The noise was not excessive for us, but a major roof renovation is underway so visitors may want to keep that in mind. The kitchen is well equipped— lots of opportunity for cooking and stocked for coffee and tea. We were welcomed with a bottle of wine (so nice!), flowers, and lovely toiletries. Amply supplied with towels. Well lit and a lovely lanai on both sides for eating and relaxing. Shower is great. Access to the loft is via a ladder — so be sure you are very spry if you’re planning to spend anytime up there. Bring eye shades if you are sensitive to light.wonderful place!mahalo for having us!"

Private Beachfront Rental

8/10 Good

"We had a really nice stay at this property. Really enjoyed long walks on the beautiful beach watching the sunrise. No air, and since the unit is at the very back of the house furthest from the beach, it can be a little too warm in the late afternoon. Nicely equipped including beach chairs, beach towels, and access to the beachside chairs and table shown in the photo."

"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A dream of our ours since the day we retired - the entire family together in a beautiful non-stress environment - Ohana! Delicious meals and laughter and togetherness come so rarely in the busy lives we all lead -- Kailuana was the perfect setting. A big Mahalo! to Private Homes Hawai'i for making this dream a reality. Throughout the booking process they were so helpful and understanding. Mahalo Barbea, Steven and Patty for reaching out to help us better prepare for this once in a lifetime family vacation. Mahalo!"

Great location for easy beach access and a quick drive into town with so many great local businesses nearby. Property was spotless and hosts were responsive when we had questions. Would absolutely stay here again!"

Home had all beach equipment needed to enjoy the quick walk across the lawn to beach. Home was clean, well equipped kitchen to cook and grill, beds were all comfortable, bathrooms well stocked, and very comfortable living room areas for family to gather and talk about the day. Lastly, appreciated the quick response to my questions and warm welcome from Private Homes! We plan on returning!"
