Location. Location. Location!!
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!

Not what we expected
Left 2 minutes after realizing what we had expected was far from what it actually was. We realize views and privacy mean different things to different people but this has neither. Would not recommend it if the expectation is what is advertised.

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.

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

Kailua Beach stay
The property is in prime location steps from Kailua Beach. The room itself is spacious, there is no A/C which can make it uncomfortable if sleeping in 24 degrees is not your thing. Don’t try to get in early cause you are held to 3:30 sharp, but expect to be out early. We were asked to even take out our own trash before we left

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.

Wonderful Vacation!
Our host was friendly and very helpful. Not only made us feel welcome, but also gave us some great pointers about what to do on this side of the island. The setting was so different from the busyness of Honolulu…a refreshing change. Enjoyed the close proximity to the beach, the uncrowded, relaxed atmosphere. Had a great time!

Restricted air flow
The only issue to note is the restricted air flow in the backside / street side unit. It gets uncomfortably warm. There is a box fan, but it is wobbly (as they are) and requires a counter weight to keep from rattling. I left the box fan on, while I was out, to keep the unit from being hot upon my return. It was noisy enough that the owner needed to access the unit in my absence to turn off the fan due to the noise it was making. There are two units, one is indeed facing the beach with a window view of the ocean while the other unit is on the backside corner / street side. Due to the unit being on the backside corner of the large home the air does not cross through the unit. Just an FYI. Everything else was fine.
