About this property

Steps to the Beach Guesthouse

A private setting in a detached home on a wonderful street! The longer the reservation the better, please contact for details.

To answer the most common question, yes, we are 'steps' away: 80 medium sized steps for me! The beach is down a sandy path and is a one of the world's best. We are located near the beach park in Kailua.

The unit is a freestanding, not connected to the main home. It has its own entrance from the street. It is very private!

The main part of the house is an 'L' shaped room with the kitchen at one end and a queen-size bed at the other. The middle of the ‘L’ has a sofa and chair. The separate bedroom has two twin beds. The kitchen and bath have been remodeled and look great! There kitchen is equipped with anything you need for cooking. There is a TV with cable and wireless internet connection. The inside is very nice. There is a new washer and dryer in the garage. There is parking for one car on the street. You can search for more pictures.

There are vendors within walking distance for windsurfing equipment. There are plenty of good restaurants in Kailua we can tell you about when you are here.

No Smoking in the guesthouse or on the premises please.

This property is a legally established dwelling that is rented for periods of 30 consecutive days or more at any one time. If you have any questions please ask. Tax Number: TA-131-660-8000-01

Great stay, steps from the beach

5-Star Vrbo ReviewWe had a wonderful week-long stay over the New Year! The location was perfect—just a short walk to the beach, making it easy to enjoy the sand and surf. It was great to have beach chairs and coolers available to borrow, but we often found it just as convenient to walk back to the property if we needed anything. The house was clean, quiet, and very comfortable. Communication with Mark was seamless; he was responsive and helpful throughout our stay. We truly hope to be welcomed back in the future for another relaxing beach getaway! Highly recommend this property!

Great location, nice property

This property is close to beautiful Kailua beach. It captures the feel of Hawaii and avoids the tourism feel of the big concrete hotels. It has a full kitchen and laundry area, along with a place to park one car. The WiFi works great. I would come back.

Glad we stayed here!

The pictures and description of the accommodations and surrounding area are spot on. Quick walk down to Kailua beach (and Lanikai beach) and a quick walk into town to the restaurants and grocery stores etc. Bus stop is near by as is the rental shop for kayaks, surf boards etc. Lisa and Mark were quick to respond to any concerns. We would stay here again if we have an opportunity to vacation on Oahu again. Thanks again, Mark & Lisa

Great location access to Kailua Beach

It was really wonderful location access to Kailua Beach, and very quiet neighborhood. There is enough space for a couple of people inside and outside. Only missing item is A/C. The fans didn't help to make inside cool, and it was a little difficult to keep sleeping all night long. My wife and I would like to come back here again if it will have A/C at least in bed room.

Kailua

The property is literally steps from the private beach access. Cute and quaint guesthouse. Only issue with going during the summer is there was no ac and even with the windows open all day/night, the crosswinds didn’t help cool down the inside. However, there’s an abundance of fans at your disposal that we were able to use to help circulate air. But Oahu is phenomenal, snorkeled using the gear provided at the house, did a lot of hiking, kayaking and swimming. The market is a block away to grab sandwiches, snacks and any toiletries we forgot and Buzz’s is a short walk or drive down the road! Great time. Thx Mark!

Literally, steps to the beach

I was immediately impressed when we first walked in as to how spotlessly clean the unit was. This is the exact location we were looking for in Kailua…a quiet street and just a few steps out the front door to the beach path. Next time we come to Kailua, we plan to stay here again.

The best location!!! Clean and comfortable!!!

We very much enjoyed our stay at this property and the location was outstanding…a short 2 min walk to beautiful Kailua Beach and right around the corner for Kalapawai Market. The unit was very clean and larger than expected. Our party of 3 had plenty of room and privacy. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed for cooking meals and we enjoyed playing cards at night around the large kitchen table. We appreciated the well stocked linens, paper products and beach gear. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful and we enjoyed chatting with them a couple times during our visit. They left us plenty of space and privacy throughout our stay. We would definitely choose this property again, the next time we stay in Kailua. The only suggestions we could think of were hanging a mirror in the twin beds bedroom and maybe a couple of new beach chairs. Everything was great - thank you for a wonderful time!

Great Location

This VRBO has an excellent location in Kailua. It truly is steps from the gorgeous beach and the shortest walk to Kalapawai Market and the cute shops and shave ice on Kailua Rd. It is spacious-(plenty of room for 2 and probably great for up to 4), clean and well equiped. A true gem!
