About this property

Less than 1 min walk to Kailua Beach- NUC#90/BB -0013

Welcome to Alohawaii Properties by the Sea, a licensed transient accommodations operator (License 90/BB-0013, Registration Numbers GE-039-001-2928-01, TA-039-001-2928-01). We are delighted to share that we have been named the winner of the 2021 Best of Kailua Awards in the category of Vacation Rentals.

We have an amazing location under a 1 minute walk to Kailua Beach Park! Our villa is tucked away on a private beach lane, offering a beautiful shared pool, hot tub, and lush Hawaiian gardens. Inside, you'll find air conditioning in every room and free WiFi. For your convenience, we provide a hair dryer, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. You'll also have shared access to a washer/dryer with laundry supplies, a gas BBQ, bikes, boogie boards, coolers, beach chairs, mats, and towels for outdoor fun. Please note that there is a spiral staircase in the unit. Both bedrooms are upstairs, and you'll need to pass through one bedroom to reach the other. However, each bedroom has its own private bathroom.

The highlight of our villa is its unbeatable location just a short 1-2 minute walk down a private beach lane to Kailua Beach Park, recognized as one of the most beautiful beaches in the country. The calm waters, thanks to the coral reef just half a mile offshore, make it perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and kayaking.

Kailua beach apartment

We had 4 adults in the apartment. The space is small, but we didn’t spend much time indoors so it worked fine for our family group. Access to the second (large) bedroom and bath is through the first (very small) bedroom, so there’s not much privacy. Parking is available on the property but very tight. Great access to the beach just across the road, and lots of beach chairs, umbrellas, etc provided. Nice to have the pool on site too!

Perfect location!

Property was as described. Pool is shared pool with other tenants, but we rarely saw them and when we did everyone was so friendly! Property owners were kind and easy to reach and communicate with! Property was clean, comfortable, and suited our needs perfectly. Parking was tight, but doable! Would definitely stay here again.

Satisfying sojourn

For a week's stay in Kailua, the Palm Villa made for a nice home away from home. The spiral staircase can be challenging for those with aging joints or challenged balance, but we made the best of it by unpacking/packing our suitcases downstairs and carrying the contents up and down in many trips. Susan and Zak were kind and helpful hosts.

This property was exactly what we were looking for….cozy - convenient- clean. The master bedroom was much larger than photos showed which was nice. It was a little inconvenient to have to walk through the second bedroom to get to it but the doors maintain privacy. Bathrooms for each bedroom was nice. The kitchen was stocked with all utensils, dishes, and a condiments and a necessary coffee pot. The main thing we loved was a 2 minute walk to a beautiful beach and the beach accessories ! The location avoids the massive traffic in Honolulu so that was wonderful going to the North Shore. We loved our stay here and recommend it 100%

Great location, tight space

The location is absolutely the highlight of this rental. The short walk to the beach and easy access to the bike path is superb. There's a nice market walking distance down the street. There's even a nice pool on the property for use. The condo itself is teeny tiny. The photos do not do justice to the small second "room", which is really more like a foyer. I felt bad having my older parents stay in that space but needed the normal sized bedroom to fit a crib. I also didn't appreciate from the listing how narrow the steps are up to the bedrooms. It was quite nerve wracking to carry an infant on those stairs.Immediately upon arrival we noted a dead cockroach underneath the aforementioned stairs. Fortunately, no additional cockroaches dead or alive were seen though reviews suggest this is an ongoing concern. I can't say we would stay in this space again but it served its purpose.

Outdated propriety with problems

We stayed six nights and were very disappointed, especially after paying over 3,000. The home is outdated, with old furniture, a musty smell, and a toilet that wouldn’t stop running. The pool had missing tiles, was dirty, and the entrance wasn’t cleaned. There was a cockroach issue—couldn’t leave food out—and no stove, only a grill. Birds nested above a bedroom window, making noise early every morning. The owners were kind and tried to help, but the property seems out of their control. The location is awesome, but poor maintenance ruined our only planned vacation.

Paradise

This was a lovely location- right across from an absolutely gorgeous beach! The owners were very responsive and left a great book with hikes, restaurant menus and more. Sunrise at Pillbox is a must. The downstairs was a bit small and the master bedroom was reached by walking through the smaller bedroom but both were very nice and this wasn’t a an issue for our family. Overall wonderful!!

It needed a deep cleaning and overall remodeling. The price was too high for the condo. The spiral staircase was narrow and difficult to carry suitcases up.. The parking was terrible. I scraped my car getting into the space as another guest did also. Pool tiles missing. Don't wate your money. There are better places to stay.

Amazing stay

I loved this property. It had everything we needed, and the location being just a short walk from the beach can’t really be beat. It was clean, with easy check in and out. The only thing is that this unit required you to walk through one bedroom to get to the other. Fine for our party, but I just didn’t expect it.

Very disappointing

All the furnishings were old and worn. Couch was covered by blanket, I assume to hide dirt or stains. chair looked nice, but springs could be felt thru the seat. Mattress and pillows were very uncomfortable, need to be replaced. 1 bathroom was tiny, both had old fixtures. No stove or oven, only microwave. This was not a cheap rental. We won’t use vrbo again. We paid thousands. It was near the beach, but uncomfortable.

About the host

Hosted by Susan Bryson

Host profile image
Steve and I lived in Colorado for 10 years and had our first child, Sharly. 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 35 years later. Sharly has since married, given birth to our grandaughters, Kaylee and Riley, and has moved back to Colorado. We had our son, Zak after moving to Hawaii. He married his high school sweetheart, Amber, and they have 2 sons. And, he just began working for us full time!
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.
