I had a great stay. Upon my arrival, everything was in place, neat and clean. Parking was a little tight but doable. I will definitely stay here again and definitely recommend this as the place to stay on Kailua. The beach is beautiful, and everything is close (shopping and dining) in proximity.

Excellent Location!
Our stay was wonderful. The location of this property is incredible, right across the street from Kailua Beach Park. The room has everything you need for a short stay/not planning to cook every meal. The pool is beautiful and refreshing. Owners are so incredibly kind and respond quickly to any inquiries, we had the chance to meet them and really enjoyed their recommendations.

Excellent location
The location and the owners were amazing. This is our new favorite area to stay in Oahu, across the street from the amazing Kailua Beach, and a 15 minute walk to the beautiful Pillbox trail and gorgeous Lanikai Beach (that both have no nearby parking). There is a nice table to eat at next to the pool, and the bed is very soft. The yard is gorgeous. We also loved all the beach gear and big beach towels. We hope to return.

Cozy villa with amazing location
I enjoyed a week in Kailua and loved staying in the Sunshine Suite. It was so cozy with a beautiful garden and pool with a hot tub! The hospitality was wonderful and Steve helped with any questions we had about how to turn on the hot tub. So close to the beach— no need to drive— just walk down the lane, cross the street and there you are! Amazing location!

Kailua Rental
We loved our time at the Kailua rental. The apartment is right across the road from Kailua Beach and a short drive to Lanikai Beach. The snorkeling at Lanikai is excellent. We also swam at Kailua most days. The rental has all the beach amenities you could need. Also,Buzzes restaurant is a short walk as well as a local store and delicious shaved ice.

Would have appreciated a better designated eating are where there wasn’t a sizable opening in door frame for ants to come in even though food was kept in refrigerator! Bathroom had bus by sink in the morning I didn’t appreciate but I love the proximity of the beaches and being able to use their beach toys

Kailua vacation
Perfect location, took approx 2 minutes to walk to Kailua beach, also walking distance to Lanikai beach. Beautiful pool, didn’t use though because the beach was so convenient! Nice washer and dryer for guests to use, kind host, parking was a bit rough with a bigger truck but would’ve been fine with a smaller car. Would stay here over and over again, Mahalo!

Great spot
You can’t beat Kailua/Lanikai for location with fantastic beaches for wind/sail sports, swimming, even boogie boarding and minor surfing, local hiking on the pillbox trail and a walk to town with lots of great places to eat. Steve and Susie were friendly. Their son Zac will be taking over management. Was hoping for a bike upgrade since the same squeaky bikes were there 30 years ago but that’s minor. Didn’t use them this time. Other beach chairs etc were adequate and nice to be able to use. Didn’t use the pool/spa but they were clean. No good airflow with windows open, even on very windy days so had to sleep with somewhat noisy AC and fans on. The room was smaller than we expected. No place for two of us to eat. Chair at desk was too tall for legs to fit below it and we are not big. Nice to have a TV with Roku app availability and wifi. Parking spaces are small so don’t bring a big car. Even a jeep is pushing it. Our fav place to eat at was Paia Fish Market, 1.4 miles away, easy walk. Nearby kayak rental would be great but we ran out of time. The kitesurfing lessons seem very expensive, so learn someplace else before you go. Hoping to come back to Kailua again.

About the host

Hosted by Susan Bryson

Host profile image
Steve and I lived in Colorado for 10 years and had our first child. 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 40 years later.

Our daughter has since married and moved back to Colorado and had two beautiful daughters. We had our son after moving to Hawaii. He married his high school sweetheart, and they now have 2 sons.
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.
