My husband and I had a wonderful time at Traci's place. Everything was perfect: great location (walking distance to shops, restaurants, and the beach), sparkling clean room and bathroom, and privacy because of the separate entrance. Traci was easy to communicate with and a warm and welcoming host. Thanks also for the use of the snorkel equipment, beach mats, and beach towels. We loved every minute of our stay.

Traci was such a wonderful host and so accommodating! After a 7 hour delay flight we showed up with a bottle of wine and treats waiting for us- what a gracious and kind gesture! Thank you for having us at your lovely cottage... We will definitely be back the next time we visit Kailua :)

Great place! It was just what my boyfriend and I needed when visiting for my grandmother's birthday. I grew up in kailua so we really only needed a place to sleep and shower but everything was fantastic. We stayed for a week and didn't need a THING. There were plenty of bath and beach towels for the two of us and even shampoo and body wash! Traci definitely does what she can to offer some of the same accommodations as a hotel might, her binder with island info was so well organized and she even had a map with directions to her suggested spots. The cooler was AMAZING. We had great weather during our visit and with one bag of ice that little baby kept everything in it nice and cold even after leaving it in our rental car in the hot sun all day. The street is nice and quiet and the keypad entry is great...don't have to worry about locking yourself out. Traci sent an email prior to arrival with all necessary details and was very accommodating to our check in and check out needs. My boyfriend and I both agreed it was the best decision we made for the trip (aside from the Jeep rental)! Highly recommend! 15 out of 10 stars!!!

This was our first experience with Airbnb and it was amazing. Traci is a host with a warm southern hospitality, the studio has a feel of cottage at the beach, beautiful island decor. We definitely smelled the plumeria every day in the garden, enjoyed biking around the town to the stores and to the restaurants and especially biking to Kailua Beach and Lanikai Beach. We hope to return one day !!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Kailua, and Traci was a fantastic host. She even had a baby toy waiting for us because she knew we were traveling with our 10 month old baby girl. Her place was fully stocked for everything we needed. Her dog was just as welcoming, and we loved her. Thanks again Traci for making our stay so enjoyable!

it was my first visit to Hawaii and everything was more than I expected. Kailua was a little beatiful town. The beach was peaceful and the old restaurants offered amazing food. The weather was nice. Traci was a perfect host. She provided all the information we needed and she kindly took us to the makapu'u point and it was the best memory of us in hawaii. The room was cozy and the little pretty decorations were pleasure to see. I would definately recommend everyone to stay at Traci's house and experience the real life in Kailua.

Traci was an excellent hostess and her place in Kailua was very clean with a comfy bed...........just what I needed. Set in a wonderful, quiet neighborhood; 10 minute walk to stores, town and one of the local beaches - heaven! I would highly recommend!

Very cute and clean accommodations. Snorkel gear and AC was a big plus!

Cara was there when we arrived....very kind. She had her sweet dog, Marley, with her and let Marley say hi to us. The 'hood was find, but house directly to the east (toward beach) was run down and most importantly, there were penned up dogs in back who cried and whined. Very disturbing to me. Cara cannot control this though so I certainly do not hold her accountable.

The Kailua Beach Cottage was absolutely perfect for us. It was spacious, clean and met all of our needs for the week and more. Cara and Brian were such fabulous hosts and we enjoyed getting to know them on a personal level with several visits. The Cottage was just a short walk to the best beach in Hawaii that we enjoyed walking every morning and then back in the afternoon with beach chairs, umbrellas and boogie boards that the Fernandez provided. Having a full kitchen, barbeque and a beautiful patio made the stay like it was our home away from home. If any visitors to Oahu are looking for a relaxing getaway, this is the place. Whether you want to go to the Sunday's Farmer's Market, get groceries, find something to eat, rent a bike, attend Mass or go to the beach, everything is a short walk away. Warren and I give it six stars out of five.

Cara was very attentive and a fantastic host. I would highly recommend staying here for a quiet and great location in Kailua. 5 stars!!

This is the place to be! We really enjoyed our stay in Cara's cottage , we felt ike home ! Sorry it was even better than home!! Cara welcomes our family with care and attention.thank for your hospitality!!!

Cottage was exactly as pictured. Smartly decorated with all the necessities and more! The neighorhood is quiet and serene, and just a beautiful place. This is definitely an excellent choice when making your vacation plans to Oahu, Kailua. The best attribute of this listing are the owners...they are so kind and are happy to answer any questions regarding the property, the area, give directions or provide restaurant recommendations. They exude the 'Aloha' spirit. Looking forward to my next stay. I'm just hoping it will be available.

This was my first time using airbnb and I had a great time at Cara's house. A great location and great people equal an experience that I would recommend to any person.

Very nice cottage just 3minutes away from a beautiful beach. Cara is very helpful. We had a great stay in Kailua and we would recommend this place to everyone!

We spent a wonderful week at Cara's house. The host were very friendly and helpful. The cottage was big with enough room inside and outside, and was very comfortable - we had everything we needed. It was a good location close to the beach. Highly recommended. Cara, thank you very much for having us at your cottage. We hope to see you again some day in Hawaii. Julia and Valerij.

This was a perfect place to stay to conclude our trip to Oahu. The property was very close to the beach, which was great. The property was beautiful and views were amazing. Jessica was a greta host too. Looking forward to coming back!

SUCH a great spot due to the view; safe, quiet location; comfortable & clean home; wonderful host! Jessica makes sure to do everything in her power to make your stay a great one. LOVE this Kailua (URL HIDDEN) a winner :)

The house has a beautiful view of Kailua beach and ocean, and is 50 metres from the beach via private access. Jessica, the host, was very welcoming and attentive, and always was offering to help. She has a lovely family and live on the first floor.

We stayed 3 nights with our 2 kids. Jessica was very friendly and helpful with anything we needed. The short walk to the beach and the view from the house were our favorite things! The house was very clean with nice furniture and decor. We can't wait to come back!

The location and interior is amazing, and facility is perfect to stay. Jessica is very nice to us and her stance to guest is comfortable.

Great place in front of the beach. Jessica was so kind all the time and we could be relax and enjoy our stay very much.

Jessica and her family are amazing hosts. This place is a little slice of paradise. Will return in the future for sure!

Fabulous place with a great view and easy beach access. Airy & open with all necessities provided. Jessica was very nice and accommodating and did a great job of providing a very clean and organized place. Overall a great stay and will stay here again when we're back in Kailua.

The cottage is very cute and clean, with many nice touches, and we loved that the beach was so close. Laura was responsive to our needs, and the owners next door are very nice. It is small, though. Our only real complaint was that the couch and chair in the living room were not comfortable for us. The futon couch was hard, with no arms, and the chair also had no arms. The beds are comfortable, and it would be fine if you planned to be out all the time. We stayed in most evenings. We'd definitely recommend the cottage for younger people (we're in our 60's). Kailua is a nice town, and Kailua Bay has one of the most beautiful beaches on Oahu.

lovely beach cottage:)

Laura's place in Kailua is very clean and had everything we needed for our 5-night stay, including beach towels and a cooler! The place itself is in a great location in Kailua, only a 7 minute walk to the beach and a 5 minute drive into the town center. We enjoyed the Kailua Farmer's Market on Saturday. Check-in was seamless with the key lock box and Laura was extremely helpful with directions. Definitely recommend it!

The house was very comfortable and clean. The host was friendly and provided suggestions of things to do and see. I would highly recommend this place.

We were the first guests in this listing, and had an excellent time! The cute little cottage was perfectly located just a short walk from Kailua bay, and a quick couple minute drive from Kailua town. The house was very, very clean, well taken care of, and tastefully decorated. The front porch was a nice place to sit in the evenings. Great house and all around experience! I highly recommend Laura's place and would absolutely stay here again!

We really enjoyed staying at Connor's airbnb. It was an easy walk to the most beautiful beach (Kailua) and the shops. Whole foods, Jamba Juice, McDonald's, champa Thai, big city diner, zippyz, whatever you wanted, it was there. The unit itself was clean, beds were comfortable, kitchen was simple yet practical. Connor provided lovely local snacks and drinks upon our arrival. What a wonderful idea. Thanks Connor, can't wait to come back some time.

Connor was a great host. He made sure we had everything we needed and was very quick to respond. He checked many times on us to see if we were comfortable. The apartment was in a good neighborhood and close to the beach/restaurants. The place is as seen on airbnb, simple but comfortable and at a good price. Would highly recommand.

If you're looking for a place in the heart of Kailua, close to the beach and downtown, this is a match. If budget is your concern, price was more than fair. This place is good for basic accommodations, nothing more, nothing less.

Great value - minimalist, but had everything you could need in a great location for a reasonable price. Could fit 4 nicely, any more could get crowded but if you like your friends a lot it would work! Connor was super responsive and left us some nice Hawaiian gifts at check in. There were some assorted beach things to borrow like chairs. Parking made it extra nice - short walk from there to beautiful Kailua beach!

Connor's place was amazing - it was extremely clean and well kept, and was isolated from the main house. The beds seemed like they were new and were very comfortable to sleep in. The furnishings were awesome and there was even a hot plate. Location-wise, Connor's place was only a block down from the beach and Kailua's beautiful bay, and a short walk from the town of Kailua. My girlfriend and I were able to enjoy pretty much everything on our vacation on foot - there was no need to put up with the hassle of vehicles during our stay. Connor was extremely courteous and prompt answering all of our messages, and made sure that our stay was nothing short of awesome. We would highly recommend his place to anyone!

Great neighborhood, close to the beach and a short walk to Kailua town. Host was good at responding and accommodated and fixed the few problems. Overall a good stay:)

Close to the beach , good for friends and hanging on the beach.

Lots of privacy

I would describe this stay as the perfect stay. We really enjoyd the secluded part and the closness to the perfect beach. Cheri is the perfect hostess and she made us feel so welcome!

We had a truly wonderful week in paradise, AKA Cheri and Scott's home. Their locations perfect to base out of. The market next door was PERFECT to pop in and get breakfast and sandwiches for our beach and hiking adventures. The bungalow was exactly to the descriptions and the best part was the outdoor garden where you can sip your coffee in the early morning. The beach is 20 yards away and wonderful to just walk to instead of driving. Cheri had a perfect welcome basket for us and made us feel at home right away. Huge thanks to Cheri and Scott for making our first Hawaiian experience once to remember.

After a tense drive in the dark without a GPS, we found the place thanks to accurate directions from Cheri and Michel. We were met with a wonderfully warm 'Aloha' from Cheri. The bungalow was gorgeous, they had thought of EVERYTHING. The proximity to a beautiful swimming beach, Kalapawi Market and Kailua township made our stay in this little slice of Heaven just perfect. The birds that visited us each evening, the cats that came each day to welcome us home after a big day of sightseeing,and the serene private garden to sit in each morning and night made this a fantastic way to end our 5 weeks overseas. It was with heavy hearts that we packed our bags to return to Australia. Mahalo Cheri and Michel x

My wife and I visited recently on our honeymoon. To sum it up in one word... WOW. Everything was amazing, including the hosts! The bungalow was a very cozy home away from home with everything you could ever need and more. It is super quiet/private while still very close to an awesome beach (less than 2 min walk from the door) and all the conveniences of town only 1 mile down the road. Cheri and Scott were awesome as well... super friendly and always available to offer local recommendations on places to go and things to see. Not knowing much about Hawaii before visiting, we couldn't have been happier with where we decided to stay and would definitely choose Kailua if we visit again in the future (and hopefully this Bungalow is available!). It is very convenient to the rest of the island and in our opinion is a much better option than staying in Honolulu or Waikiki.

Cheri and Scott are incredibly nice people and fantastic hosts. They truly created a little Oasis in the most convenient location we could have hoped for. The place looked just as beautiful as in the pictures. Now imagine the scent of a botanical garden in the air along with the taste of fresh papaya from the tree when you wake up... Don't miss a stroll down the beach for sunrise either. Best thing of all for me though is that the Kite Beach is literally just outside the beach gate of the backyard... :-)) We'll be back for sure!! Mahalo to Cheri & Scott :-)

Cheri and Scott definitely have a welcoming, relaxing and not to mention well equipped bungalow! While we only met them on our last day as they were in Africa, they made sure we had everything we needed to ensure our stay was impeccable! Activities and restaurant recommendations were great and we definitely were pleased we took their advice! Kailua is a stunning community, the people are great and the stores are adorable. In all, our stay was a 10 we couldn't ask for more! Thank you Cheri and Scott!!

Cheri and Scott really have created a perfect little paradise, everything was exactly as advertised & reviewed. During our two week stay we really felt at the end of the day like we were coming home. Leading up to the trip, their communication was excellent, and meeting them upon our arrival found them to be genuine and lovely people. They provided us with a custom, detailed guide of sights & shops to check out all over the island which was wonderful, and they have guidebooks, hiking trail books and plenty of maps so no need to bring your own. The bed was very comfortable, and had such great sleeps on the pillows that we're looking into buying the same ones! It was very clear that Cheri & Scott take a lot of pride in their home as no attention to detail was spared and they have great respect for the enjoyment and privacy of their guests. This was our first Airbnb experience, yet we feel they are a gem among gems. Kailua itself is a beautiful little beach town, well apportioned with a variety of shops, restaurants and services. We found the locals to all be very friendly and very easy to strike up conversation with. It was perfectly positioned to travel around the island from, and such a pleasure to come home to. Being there, you will definitely experience the Aloha Spirit.

We discovered a wonderful place in Kailua near the beach. Don't hesitate to rent This little paradise. The beach is long and flate, probably one of the most beautiful beach we've seen . The appartement just look like the photos on the site.

I was happy with my stay and grateful that this place was available for my visit. The apartment was very comfortable and had everything I needed. The location near the beach can't be beat.

We had a great experience here! Kam showed us around the room & neighborhood and was very responsive when we asked any questions through texts. The room looked exactly as advertised. The neighborhood was lovely.

Proximity to the beach with private access is the biggest benefit of this rental.

Lovely place and wonderful location. Just about the closest you could be to being right on the beach aside from having beachfront property. Quiet neighborhood but close to the best beachs and good food. Great hosts.

The host was extremely courteous and kind. Very comfortable and cozy setting. Steps away from the ocean. Great getaway location!

My boyfriend and I stayed at Hoku and Kam's place for a few nights early Jan while we were visiting O'ahu and only have the most positive things to say about them and their wonderful home. They were extremely welcoming and spent time giving us the best recommendations for local food/cocktails/beaches/best waves/etc on top of chatting about the local language/culture - this reminded us why we love positive airbnb experiences so much. On top of this, their home was perfect for us. It's a studio apt connected to their home - very clean, modern (cool Japanese style flat), full kitchen set up (minus the oven/stove), great flat screen tv, and great book selection. The apt walks out into their lovely garden/backyard...and the best part is you are a one min walk to a private beach, and it's a beautiful one. Their place is maybe 20-30 min from Honolulu, which is great for restaurants and nightlife. Can't rave enough about Hoku & Kam - hope to be back soon!

Kam was a great host! He walked all all around the property and showed us how everything works. The place was very serene and relaxing (just what the doctor ordered). He also keeps it very clean. Awesome location - literally footsteps from the beautiful Kailua Beach. I HIGHLY recommend staying here!

Such a great peaceful cottage for our week of exploring Oahu. Lovely hosts, available if needed but not imposing. Little touches like a delivery of flowers from their garden one afternoon, and Kam popping down when we were having dinner on the terrace one night with a new beer for us to try were lovely, unscripted and what Airbnb is about. The kitchen is well equipped with quality appliances that made it easy to cook at home. Highly recommend this little piece of paradise.

Great hosts in an amazing location. The room is as described and I couldn't have asked for a better spot to enjoy the beach and everything that Kailua has to offer!

My friend and I recently stayed at this sweet airbnb spot. Madeleine is renting out her room in a big, beautiful house, just steps from the beach. I can't say enough positive and wonderful things about her housemates who hosted us during our stay. They are friendly, kind, and encouraged us to make ourselves at home. The location is unbeatable. You are literally just a one minute walk from the beach. The house has several nice relaxing areas. Use of the kitchen was easy and fun. The room is large and comes with it's own private bathroom. This is a great place for artists, musicians, creatives, dancers, travelers looking for a sweet and truly special/unique place to stay in an ideal location.

We had a fantastic stay at Madeleine's shared place. Everyone was so warm and welcoming and it is located just behind the beach! We missed out on a cool funk/soul party they were having as we had to head to the big island. Such a great home and well worth the stay!

Had a wonderful experience! The hosts were wonderful. Would definitely recommend

The host living downstairs went out of her way to work with us-leaving work to allow us to check in early. She was extremely acomodating and generaous about letting us use her pool, bookieboards, grill and allowing us to have friends over. The bathroom has plenty of towels, sunscreen, aloe and bug spray. The house was very clean and spacious. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils but only bare minimum staples like salt, pepper, and coffee.

Angelene's hospitality was outstanding. Her welcome was very generous and accomodating to our group. She went out of her way to ensure comfort for all ages of our group. The apartment was very clean, well stocked, and the perfect location on a beach access. We had everything we needed for a comfortable, relaxing stay. It is an especially perfect location for a morning beach sunrise. I would definitely recommend staying here!Thank you again!

Location, location, location! Our family has stayed at several beaches and my kids requested Kailua Beach. This particular location is away from the main public parking so it is nice and private. Being just one house away from the beach with a nice sand path just outside side gate, you always had time to unwind at the beach. The next biggest "pro" is Angelene is your host. She was so welcoming and my family felt more secure with her being around. We as a family agreed we would stay there again because of her. There was tandem parking for two and if you had a friend/relative visiting there was enough room along the main driveway for an additional car. There is no air conditioning, however there is plenty of wind in Kailua to cool off the house. Also being on the second floor you can leave your windows open all night. There was a "hot" shower outside to get the sand off after the beach and a washer and dryer right next to the shower for your use. You have your own private stairs to the entry of your home. There was shopping and groceries just about one mile away. This place ended up being a fantastic vacation home for my family and I.

This is a very basic, but comfortable place and the location was amazing! It is very close driving distance to shops and restaurants. The beach was so close, which made it really great for our family since we have small kids. Angelene, the host, was really nice, helpful, and really went out of her way to make our stay great!

Vicky and Angelene were amazing to work with to get everything ready for the trip. Very responsive and nice to communicate with. Once we got on the island they were very welcoming and gracious. Angelene even gave us fresh fruit, flowers and wine upon our arrival. The house was in THE BEST location in Kailua. Right on the beach and a super easy walk on the beach into downtown. There really isn't easy parking in Kailua for the beach, so being right on the beach is a must! The house was well stocked, boogie boards, beach chairs, and fishing poles. Everything we could want was there. We stayed for 10 days and were even able to use on site laundry. We felt like we were at home! Big mahalo to our wonderful hosts and their families for making us feel included and like locals.

Amazing experience, Angelique went above and beyond in helping out! The most beautiful location, just steps from the beach and place was clean and very comfy!

We have spent 3 or 4 vacations with our daughter, who is now 2, at Kailua. The beach is perfect for little ones, and the easy pace of life there along with its access to all that Honolulu has is a fantastic balance. This place is only one house from the beach, and that makes all the difference, as we just strolled to the beach at any moment. I can't say enough about the marvelous hospitality that Angelene- our on-site host- displayed. She was magnificent, gracious and always helpful. Of all the places we have stayed on Kailua, this was the best for us. The huge carpeted living room was fantastic for the little one.

Location is amazing. Extremely easy walk to the best beach, even with our two and four year olds. Neighborhood is very quiet and safe. It is a quick drive to Whole Foods, restaurants, and main roads that lead to other parts of the island. Even though some of the furnishings are a little dated, the place is very clean. Plenty of bath and beach towels provided as well as beach toys. And the host downstairs was extremely helpful and accommodating. We would definitely stay here again.
