About this property

This quiet 400-square foot cottage sits by the blue-tiled pool and offers the perfect resting spot after a full day of activities or a sleepy day on the beach. It offers a full bath and kitchenette with full-sized refrigerator, microwave, and toaster oven.

Due to local zoning regulations, our minimum rental contract is for 30 DAYS. Longer terms also available.

The studio is detached from the owner-occupied main house and has a private side entrance and dedicated parking space. Come and go as you please. Guests have full use of the pool, pool deck, and private lanai for outdoor dining. Wireless internet and cable TV/BluRay provided.

Less than two minutes walking to the end of the street will bring you to world famous Kailua Beach, which is reached via a private gate. And a few minutes driving brings you to downtown Kailua, where you can enjoy dining, shopping, and the unique feel of one of the last true beach towns.

All of our electricity and hot water comes from the sun!

Just what we needed

We knew it was going to be good from the interactions with Bob and from the pictures on the posting- but none of that actually tells you how quickly we felt welcomed. Sometimes when you meet people, there is an immediate “this is good,I want to spend some time getting to know them” moment. That was true here. Bob and Roni and Gardie are wonderful people, interesting and interested. There are not many times in our lives when we have been able to wear shorts and T-shirt’s and sit looking at the pool while we decide when to walk less than 2 minutes to a gorgeous beach. Heavenly! The cottage was comfortable and within 5 minutes, we felt at home. We ate our meals on the porch, watching the birds and enjoying the sunshine. It was a perfect vacation for us- we spent hours walking and swimming and relaxing. It is a wonderful place with great people - it’s hard to top that! Thank you again for sharing with us!

Not worth your money!

Dear Vacationer. Hawaii was a wonderful experience but this tiny guest house was not worth the money at all! First, I was not given the proper basic info initially during booking! As of which island is the guest house is on?! It say’s Kailua, HI! Which was confusing because There is another town with the same name in Kona! Please be aware! This guest house is in Kailua, OAHU, Honolulu! Which resulted of me purchasing 2 tickets one going to Kona airport and the other to HNL! Home owner failed to mention this important information which costed me an extra ticket that he refuses to refund! Second What you see is not what you get! It’s missing a laundry facility and a cooktop and privacy! Even though it is powered by solar power he had the yard pitch black after dark! Third! If you plan on sleeping in on your vacation…well he advised you won’t be able to do so! The pool filter is so loud it won’t allow you to relax … the filter is flush to the room wall and it kinks in super LOUD from 9:00 AM-4PM!! Fourth, In the picture it shows a nice open pool…but once you get there it’s all FENCED-UP and there is a BIG FILTER HOSE inside the pool which makes it uncomfortable and annoying to swim in! Fifth, this property and the surrounding properties had Gardner’s on each day of the week which made it so very loud to relax and to enjoy the room! NO PRIVACY! LOUD!

Perfect!

Everything we needed for a peaceful getaway. Well equipped-there isn’t a stove/oven but there is a hot plate and grill for use. The cottage was a short walk to the beach where we walked and watched the sunrise every morning m. Bob was easy to communicate with and very accommodating. Can’t wait to return!

Vacation in Paradise

My wife and I went to Hawaii for our honeymoon and truly enjoyed this wonderful vacation rental! The home is only a 2 minute walk to the beach, which is accessible via a private walkway. Thanks to this and the fact that it isn't near the public parking area, we had a very private and exclusive slice of paradise to ourselves! We saw a few people walking the beach, but otherwise it was quiet and peaceful. The neighborhood where the rental is located is very peaceful as well. When we did interact with locals they were all very nice. Several neighbors waved to us and said hi. The oasis this location offers is perfect for relaxing, a much appreciated difference from Waikiki. The place was extremely clean and well kept, and is and the perfect amount of space for 2 people on vacation. It was great having a kitchenette because we were able to save some money on food. Bob has provided everything you could need and more! He was kind enough to let us use beach towels, beach chairs, a cooler, a beach umbrella, boogie boards, and a rain umbrella, all of which came in handy. It was great having these items to use and not having to worry about renting or returning equipment. Bob and his wife were very kind and friendly! We often spoke with them briefly if we ran into them while leaving or coming in and they provided some great tips on the best spots to enjoy. They also respected our privacy, so it was a perfect balance for us between interacting with the host and having our own space. He is very easy to communicate with and responds very quickly. Overall, we absolutely loved staying here and hope to do so again for our next stay. I can't say enough about the awesome hosts and their wonderful home!

Cozy little east side cottage

Bob was very warm and welcoming. He made the entire process so easy and streamlined. The location is very convenient to travel between Honolulu, the airport, and all north side locations. Kailua Bay and the nearby beach are gorgeous. Perfect sandy beach, no rocks to stumble on. The surrounding scenery is breathtaking, whether it is a drive along the coastline or through the mountains. Nice little getaway from the craziness of Waikiki and Honolulu.

Comfortable and close to beach

We really loved staying in this studio cottage. The kitchen was well equipped, and there was a good supply of linens, a big closet with hangers, and A/C that was quiet, clean and effective (but didn't need to be used all the time because of good ventilation from many windows). The beach is a half a block away, and the pool was a real bonus, plus the lanai for outdoor eating, and lots of outside hooks for drying out towels and swimsuits. Bob and his family were truly gracious too, while also giving us a lot of privacy.

Home away from home.

This was our second stay and I hope not the last. It feels like home to us. Bob and Roni always make us feel at home. The beach is literally steps from the cottage. We loved opening the doors and keeping them open to let the trade winds cool the cottage. We also enjoyed the new AC! Mahalo Bob and Roni.

Quiet guest cottage in Kailua

After spending the first three days of our trip in busy Waikiki arriving at Bob and Roni's charming guest cottage felt like a breath of fresh air. We usually vacation in Maui and were hoping that the windward side of Oahu and the town of Kailua would feel as laid back and relaxing as our favorite island. It did not disappoint. The cottage had everything we needed for the five days we stayed. The private garden with a charming pool was really a delight to return to each day after exploring the island of Oahu. I particularly enjoyed getting up each morning and opening the doors to let the tropical breeze blow through and eating my breakfast outside by the pool. The bed was comfortable and the ceiling fan provided a nice cool breeze to sleep under each night. The only perhaps negative thing I would like to mention is that the shower curtain rod in the bathroom is quite rusty and makes it difficult to pull the shower curtain across. I only mention this because I think that Bob and Roni obviously put a lot of thought and care into making their guests comfortable and would appreciate the feedback. Overall we would definitely recommend this tranquil oasis and hope to return one day soon.

A beautiful cottage with great amenities in an awesome location!

We are so grateful that we found this wonderful cottage to rent. Everything about our vacation was sublime. Bob and Roni are so kind, knowledgeable, welcoming, and attentive. There'd been no one in the cottage the night prior to our arrival and Bob generously allowed us to check in early, which was perfect since our flight arrived at 6:30 a.m. We stopped for a few groceries and a bottle of wine on our way over and immediately felt at home when we arrived. The cottage looks great in photos but it's even more impressive in person. Set in a lovely garden, the private cottage has ample storage and appealing decor. It has AC but we never needed it -- the fresh air through the windows was just right and allowed us to hear the breeze through the palms. The proximity to the beach is amazing. We went to the beach at least twice a day to enjoy the soft sand and soak in the views. Bob and Roni gave us great suggestions for local restaurants, hikes, and activities. All of their referrals were spot-on and we appreciated being able to text Bob with questions. The neighborhood is very safe and peaceful yet it's only a few minutes to drive to a great town. Staying there was a dream come true. I wish we could go back right now! Mahalo!

Beautiful location!

Every chance we had to walk down to our private beach (Not private but it felt like it) we did. The location is perfect to get everywhere on the island without being a tourist trap. I recommend Over Easy for a quality breakfast stop. Our host was very helpful. The locals also gave us great ideas for places to visit. We definitely had a dream vacation! Aloha

Perfect location and incredible cottage

We love Kailua and this property is in the perfect location in an upscale neighborhood with a quick walk to the beach and a few minute drive to downtown. The cottage has everything you need for a relaxing vacation, including a refreshing pool. The cottage was completely furnished and had plenty of outlets for multiple computers and phones! It's the little things that make it extraordinary. The owners provide beach chairs, towels, boogie boards, and an ice chest for your day on the beach. I would without a doubt stay here again.
