This house was perfect for our family’s visit. We came over for a cousin’s celebration of life, and this house was close to our family which made it easy to coordinate and visit with them. It was also fully stocked. It felt like a home and not just a vacation rental. It lives up to its name, House of Serenity.

The house is beautiful, especially the yard and they provide pool inflatable and beach gear which was helpful. Kitchen is well equipped. Having 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms was great. However the master bed and bath are only accessible by walking outside to pool area and going back in through a separate door. Also there is no door on the master bathroom. Air conditioning in each room was wonderful. There was a very loud water hammer in the first bathroom off the kitchen whenever the toilet was flushed. Host was responsive. I was worried about the location being noisy as it backs up to a main road and the Kaneohe marine base, but it was quiet. We very rarely heard any traffic noise. Being in Kailua was great to be close to Kailua and Lanikai beaches but any activities in Honolulu or Waikiki were approx a 30 min drive. The house is close enough to walk to the water but not to a beach that you can swim at. Swimming beaches are a short drive about 10 min away. Also most of the sliding doors on the house can't be locked which was concerning to me. It seems like a safe neighborhood but I like to be able to lock up valuables. We would recommend this house and would love to visit again.
Backyard, beautiful even on a cloudy day.

We enjoyed our 5 day stay and especially enjoyed the use of the pool and all the different pool toy equipment. The extras like beach towels and ice chest were also appreciated. The home was clean, spacious and well equipped for our party of 6. The only suggestion is to have at least one extra toilet paper roll in each bathroom, an extra paper towel roll and hand soap for all the sinks. The neighborhood was quiet and the yard was beautiful. Contacting the owners by text made communication easy.

Our stay here was nothing short of perfect for our family. The home is beautifully designed and filled with thoughtful touches that make it feel warm and welcoming. The backyard and pool were absolute highlights — our kids spent hours splashing and playing while we relaxed, soaking in the peaceful atmosphere. The layout of the house made it easy for everyone to have their own space while still feeling connected. Everything was comfortable and well stocked — from kitchen essentials to pool and beach toys. It truly felt like a home away from home, only in paradise. We’re so grateful for the memories we made here and can’t wait to come back!

We had a fantastic stay in this beautiful home. It's located in a quiet, friendly neighborhood and is incredibly convenient—super close to grocery stores and restaurants, and just a short walk to the beach. We encountered a couple of minor issues during our stay, and the host was wonderfully responsive and addressed them immediately. Our family had a great time, and we would happily recommend this home to anyone looking for a perfect spot in the Kailua area.

Nice property, quiet safe neighborhood. "Hot" tub did not go above room temperature; it was just a tub...disappointing after spending the day hiking. BBQ grill was gross, and we were not in the mood to clean it. Beverage cooler was also disgusting. Lights under the patio umbrella did not work. Smoke detectors were missing from the ceiling mounts in the living room and master suite. No indoor fireplace but there was an outdoor fire pit, no coffee grinder and the fridge ice maker also didn't work. Minor inconveniences but if it is listed on the profile, it should be provided. Paid the asking price but did not get all the listed amenities.

Great Quiet Place

My family and I really enjoyed our stay here. The pool and jacuzzi were a hit with the kids and the patio area was a nice place to hang out and play games for the adults. The backyard had plenty of space for my son and I to play catch.We appreciated the quietness of the area and being a bit off the traditionally beaten path. You aren't so far away from stuff that getting anywhere on the island didn't feel like a real trek.The best beach we visited in our week long stay was the one just down the road from the house. If you're anything like me or my family, you like not having all the chaos of Wikiki and having your own little oasis beach with limited numbers of people.The lone compliant we had about the house was that the walls are pretty thin, so if you're a light sleeper, anticipate a little bit of noise from your other housemates. All in all, we absolutely loved our stay and already miss the home.
