A Perfect Rental in a Perfect Spot

Our dear friends stayed in the room next to ours, and we all met up on the beach (just steps away) for sunrises, coffee, and beach breakfasts, lunches, and dinners! Shopping, restaurants, groceries are all just minutes away, but once you have your supplies there really is no need to leave this well-equipped and perfectly situated property sitting on the most beautiful beach you likely have ever see! Also, the host is next-level nice and friendly. A perfect rental.

Wonderful stay!

We loved staying here. The rental is super clean, stylish, and steps away from a beautiful beach! The water is gorgeous and the sand is so soft. Walking along the beach in the morning was a highlight. Paddle boarding and checking out the many nearby beaches and trails was super fun. This is a place to relax and enjoy the beauty of Oahu! Thanks to Shari for being a great host! We hope to be back!

Kailua Beach / Hawaii’s Best

This is an apartment which is perfect for a couple. It includes plenty of space, a modern kitchen & bath, and comfortable King bed located in a quiet neighborhood just steps from 2.5 miles of Kailua beach. From the door, walk 25 steps on a private walkway to a well manicured, ocean view lawn which is yours to share with another couple and your hosts. Walk another 25 steps and you are on the beach where you are greeted by a magnificent sunrise and dozens of well behaved dogs (and their humans) each morning.

This location gave us the perfect beachfront oasis we were looking for! The accommodations were clean and well kept. The bed was comfortable with soft sheets and perfectly fluffed pillows. Shari made check in and out a breeze. She also gave us a lot of local restaurant recommendations which were worth absolutely worth the hype! If you are looking for a private and peaceful beachfront getaway, I highly recommend this spot!

Perfect Beach Escape

Our four night stay at Shari’s place in Kailua was the perfect beach escape to start our November week in O’ahu. The apartment was comfortable and provided everything we needed. The location provided a short walk to Kailua Beach for daily dips in the ocean and long morning walks. Access to the center of town with a good selection of restaurants was under a 10 minute drive and close enough to Honolulu for those wanting to explore a little further away. Shari’s communication before and during our stay was excellent. We hope to return again soon.

Lovely Stay

We had a lovely stay here. Rental unit was spacious and clean. Host was warm and inviting and provides nice quality chairs and beach towels. Stayed early September and lack of AC caused no issues due to good airflow. But most importantly, the location was perfect. It was like almost having your own private beach. Couldn't have asked for a better stay.

Great oceanfront stay

The unit was clean and perfect for our 2 night stay. We wanted on the beach property and that’s exactly what we got! The beach is beautiful and the host was very communicative and even let us know if parking with other tenants changed for the day. We had zero issues. It’s quiet and the natural air was easy to sleep in
