Kailua is the best town on the island and is home to Kailua Beach -- consistently one of the top-ranked beaches in the world. Located on the Windward side of the mountain, the greenery and landscape is lush and gorgeous. Driving over the mountain pass from the airport into town is one of the most beautiful drives in the world -- similar to the Road to Hana in Maui. Kailua has very few rental properties and hotels, so it is free from the congestion of Honolulu, while still being very close to the main attractions on the island. There is a very modern shopping center with a Target, Whole Foods, boutique shops and restaurants. Popular visitor sites nearby include Lanikai Snorkeling (12 minutes), Pill Box Hike (11 minutes), Pali Lookout (20 minutes), Royal Hawaiian Golf Club (17 minutes), Pearl Harbor (30 minutes), Sea Life Park (20 minutes), Haunauma Bay (30 minutes), and the North Shore (50 minutes).

Kailua Beach offers 3 miles of fine, soft white sand along a crescent shaped bay bordered by clear turquoise waters that have a consistent year-round temperature of about 75 degrees F (25 C). The steady off shore trade winds, water temperature and protective reef make this bay a popular area for water sports including Kayaking, Stand-Up Paddling, Surfing, Boogie Boarding, Swimming and Kite Surfing.

Callouts:
Limited parking for 3 vehicles
Home is configured in 2 sleeping areas -- access to 3 of the bedrooms requires the use of a separate, private entry
No pets allowed in this home

Perfect Place in Hawaii
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This would be a great place to bring my family. It was still wonderful for my husband and myself. Everything was newly refurbished and they had a beautiful welcome basket. The spa was nice, we couldn’t use the pool it didn’t have heat. The beach was beautiful and a three minute walk. We really loved the small town and farmers markets. We plan to return. Thank you for sharing your home.

First time in Hawaii
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Outstanding property! All that they claim and more. The beach was not even a two minute walk. Plus the beach was beautiful and maybe 10 people on it! Back to the house, we all had plenty of space and privacy. Beautifully remodeled. They even left us a great welcome basket that had so much stuff we couldn’t finish. Only about a mile to everything restaurant and store. Loved Cinnamon’s for breakfast. Host was very attentive and reachable. Seriously nothing bad to say!!

Luxury Renovation
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Wow, this is a luxury renovation! Not sure what was more calming...a walk through a mangrove patch to one of the world's best beaches, hanging out by the pool at the house or just sneaking back into the bedroom to read.

What more can you ask for?!
We stayed here with a large group for my 50th birthday. We were a mix of kids & adults. Four families total. First positive, when booking this location the communication was excellent with the property management company who recently took over responsibility. I had booked a different property originally and the communication was neither prompt nor polite. Next, the property manager offered to be there when we checked in to provide a tour. I turned it down only because I thought a long flight with kids was going to have me at my wits end. When we showed up, she had made sure to swing by and get everything turned on and ready for us. So kind and professional! The updates to the home were excellent. It was extremely comfortable and each family felt as though they had their own private space. The location of the kitchen was perfect for all of us to meet and hang out. Though there are homes very close to this one the amount of trees and foliage on the property make it feel like your own little secluded paradise. The pool and hot tub were, of course, a ginormous hit with all of us. The real kicker was the very short, private, and protected walk to the best spot on this strip of Kailua Beach. The home location is far enough away from the state park that you feel you’re enjoying time in your own private beach area. Overall, though we did experience a few “glitches“ with some aspects I cannot say enough positive things about how the management company handled it. So polite and prompt.

Our group had such a fun time here. Lots of great places to hang out and the pool area was like having a resort all to ourselves. Kitchen was very well stocked and knives were sharp which is a nice surprise for a rental.

great vacation rental in Kailua near the beach
My family & I had a wonderful time staying at Diana & Russell's vacation rental. Diana & Russell were great hosts and the rental had every amenity we needed. Everything was as advertised and I would highly recommend this place to anyone that is looking for a comfortable place steps from the beach in Kailua. Hope to be back next year.

Excellent and steps from Kailua beach
What a lovely place to stay! The apartment has everything you need , beach towels, chairs, umbrellas, even a grill. We arrived just in time to see the July 4th fireworks from the balcony! Beach access is right on the lane the house is in, we were able to see the full moon rise over the Mokulua islands .

Paradise
We have stayed at many properties in Hawaii and this is by far the best. The home is beautiful, spacious and well maintained. Location is amazing - steps away from our favorite beach in Hawaii. We had two families at the house with room to spare. I will be dreaming of the bread pudding for years!

Amazing Family Vacation
I organized a family reunion at this property and to celebrate my parent's 55th anniversary. It exceeded our expectations in every way. The property is beautiful, inside and out. The kids couldn't get enough of the pool and the beach access was so easy. It offered us the privacy that we wanted along with all of the amenities needed for our stay. I would definitely recommend staying here if you're looking for a nice, big home near a pristine beach.

Family Thanksgiving & Birthday Celebration
Our three generation family celebrated Thanksgiving & several birthdays. This house was perfect for all of us. Two extra kitchens gave us plenty of room for drinks & any leftovers. The terrace overlooking the pool was a beautiful location for morning coffee!! A very brief walk to the beach was the highlight, with beautiful sand and ocean views!! This is a lovely home and was enjoyed by all in my family!!!
