Mostly good
We loved staying in Kailua, and the nice yard on the canal was a nice setting with mountains in the background (though there is a somewhat busy street close enough that you do hear car traffic also). The property is clean and had pretty much everything we needed. We also loved the spaciousness, and the easy access to Kailua town and the beach. Cons: 1) glad I looked at the VRBO access code (owners one was wrong), otherwise would've been locked out, 2) electricity is a bit tricky (e.g. some lights are hard to figure out how to turn on, and you can't use hair dryers in any of the bathrooms, the host has warnings about being careful not to blow circuits), 3) do NOT leave food out (we had a mega ant colony invade when we left some nuts and dried fruit not fully sealed), 4) owner's dog barks a bit in the mornings and evenings -- we were up early so it wasn't a huge deal, but might bother you if you like to sleep in.
