I had a great stay. Upon my arrival, everything was in place, neat and clean. Parking was a little tight but doable. I will definitely stay here again and definitely recommend this as the place to stay on Kailua. The beach is beautiful, and everything is close (shopping and dining) in proximity.

Kailua Beach, 2 friends

This unit was selected for location across from beach. Entry to unit is awkward as you walk thru another unit’s lanai. The property was listed as ‘sleeps 3’, but there is only a double bed and fold-out pad for the floor. Wicker furniture provided limited clean area to prepare food and the sink was in bathroom. Pool was lovely.

Excellent Location!

Our stay was wonderful. The location of this property is incredible, right across the street from Kailua Beach Park. The room has everything you need for a short stay/not planning to cook every meal. The pool is beautiful and refreshing. Owners are so incredibly kind and respond quickly to any inquiries, we had the chance to meet them and really enjoyed their recommendations.

Great location with lush landscaping and cool dolphin turtle tree sculpture. Bohemian arty vibe. Quirky entry to unit through neighbor unit’s lanai but they were friendly. Parking is very tight so recommend small car wash only.

Cozy villa with amazing location

I enjoyed a week in Kailua and loved staying in the Sunshine Suite. It was so cozy with a beautiful garden and pool with a hot tub! The hospitality was wonderful and Steve helped with any questions we had about how to turn on the hot tub. So close to the beach— no need to drive— just walk down the lane, cross the street and there you are! Amazing location!

Kailua Rental

We loved our time at the Kailua rental. The apartment is right across the road from Kailua Beach and a short drive to Lanikai Beach. The snorkeling at Lanikai is excellent. We also swam at Kailua most days. The rental has all the beach amenities you could need. Also,Buzzes restaurant is a short walk as well as a local store and delicious shaved ice.

Kailua vacation

Perfect location, took approx 2 minutes to walk to Kailua beach, also walking distance to Lanikai beach. Beautiful pool, didn’t use though because the beach was so convenient! Nice washer and dryer for guests to use, kind host, parking was a bit rough with a bigger truck but would’ve been fine with a smaller car. Would stay here over and over again, Mahalo!

About the host

Hosted by Susan Bryson

Host profile image
Steve and I lived in Colorado for 10 years and had our first child. She was 3 months premature and weighed in at a whopping 1 pound!! When she turned one, she weighed almost 10 pounds. Her doctor said that she would grow if we moved her to a warmer climate.. that it was difficult for her to maintain a 98.6 degree body temperature without burning so many calories.

So, we moved to Hawaii.. with $500 in the bank and our little daughter. That was in December, 1979. And here we are 40 years later.

Our daughter has since married and moved back to Colorado and had two beautiful daughters. We had our son after moving to Hawaii. He married his high school sweetheart, and they now have 2 sons.
There's more to the story, so come and stay with us to hear the rest. We love our guests and have many repeat visitors to our lovely rentals.

Why they chose this property

We bought our house before it became a vacation rental. We owned a small travel agency and people were always asking if there was anywhere to stay other than Waikiki. So we decided to rent out some rooms in our home to accommodate our clients and to make a little extra money. There were no hotels in our town and the beach was just gorgeous. Little did we know that Kailua would become such a B&B mecca.

What makes this property unique

You will love the hospitality and service we provide our guests. The beach is absolutely gorgeous and the property is like walking into Shangri La. Steve's gardens are breathtaking and the pool is beautiful.
