Nice beachside stay

We enjoyed our time in the Kukui House. The location is perfect as its walking distance to the beach, the market, and very close to town. We were comfortable and had fun using the pool, bikes, and barbecue.

Great location

The owners were very nice and offered to help with anything we needed, but I didn’t want to bother them. Manager was prompt with replies. The place itself was pretty small and the kitchen basically fits one person (also can barely open the dishwasher because it is so close to the fridge) Could use new dishes because most were chipped. Better directions as to where to turn on the hot tub would have been helpful. Otherwise good but seems a bit expensive. My sister had a bigger place just down the beach for about 1200 less for the week. Again, owners seemed like lovely people:)

Great location!

The location is unbeatable: short walk to the best beach! Beds are comfortable. We probably missed the description that the second bathroom is downstairs, outside the unit, but it wasn't a big issue for us. We had a great stay.

The location was excellent and the unit was comfortable. We were disappointed as five adults to find that there were not really enough beds to accommodate us. One double bed, two singles, and sheets to cover a couch. Enjoyed our stay.

Perfect rental in Kailua

Loved the house and location. I booked it in a hurry and without reading the specifics knowing that options were limited and we were visiting friends nearby. I couldn't believe my dumb luck when we arrived and realized how perfect the location was which is right across from a sandy and picturesque beach and walking distance to snorkeling, swimming and the Lanikai Pillbox Trail. Having been to the various islands of Hawaii 15-20 times we had avoded Oahu until this trip thinking the whole island would be like Wikiki. We were totally wrong. Love Oahu and this property and can't wait to come back.

Right across the road from a beautiful beach.

The location was great. It was very quit and the grounds were beautiful. The description was not clear, it did have two bedrooms (1 was very small) and it listed two bathrooms, only one was in the unit. The other was downstairs by the pool. Also the kitchen was not stocked well, especially glasses. We did have a great time and again the location was wonderful.

Wonderful!

We had a wonderful stay! The condo was clean, well equipped and in a fantastic location. Just across the street from Kailua beach and a short walk from a beautiful hike to the pillboxes overlooking Lanakai. We couldn't have hoped for a better location! The condo was comfortable - the sheets were soft and there were was plenty of sitting areas in the family room.The lanai provided a nice additional space to sit outside. The garage had everything we needed for spending time at the beach - chairs, umbrellas, coolers, etc and was just so nice to be able to grab what we needed to walk a couple of minutes to a gorgeous beach. Zak was very responsive to our requests and we felt right at home. We can't wait to return!

Amazing rental

We stayed here for 5 days and it was incredible. The house was just as described and was within walking distance of a beautiful, quiet beach as well as several places to eat. The property owners were lovely, the pool was a perfect place to unwind, and the fridge/pantry even had some things for us to use (e.g., seasonings). When we come back (the trip was that incredible), we will absolutely stay here again.

Perfect Location

Beautiful beach a stones throw away and just a short walk to Buzz's Streakhouse which I highly recommend. Lanikia beach is just a 10 min walk up the road. The garden around the pool was amazing and the homeowners were extremely nice and responsive if we needed anything. No street noise, the only thing you hear are the birds singing.

We loved being able to walk across the street to Kailua Beach or walk to Island Snow for shave ice. It was a safe area and the owners were great. They have some fins to borrow for snorkeling, beach chairs, and coolers to use which was so nice.

We were visiting Oahu for 2 family weddings and found this wonderful oasis. The owners couldn’t have been nicer or more attentive to our needs. The location is excellent, right across the street from Kailua Beach Park. If you have plans to stay on the Windward side of Oahu, we highly recommend this property.

So-so

We did not stay here after checking in. The good: super responsive host and beautiful pool. The unexpected: property was hard to find and exteriors were unkempt. Turns out there appear to be many people living on site and it shows. We did not find the property inviting or welcoming. My wife did not feel safe here. The bad: listing photos are way out of date- all furnishings are tired and need deep cleaning. The unit had been wiped down but everything about the unit itself showed wear and tear of many visitors- lots of ew factors on the cushions and floor, the unit smelled heavily of mold, shower curtain moldy, windows not cleaned and more. Cumulatively it was too much. The really unexpected: the host disagreed with us and wanted to clean the unit up. However, there were too many items needing attention, for which a remedy would be disruptive to our five-day stay. We immediately brought this to the owner and VRBO attention and informed both that we would not stay there and they could release it for someone else if they chose. The host told us they could not issue any refund because the unit was booked throughout our stay. Adding to the dilemma: After two days of fruitless negotiating with VRBO for assistance in finding a different place to stay and releasing the unit so the host could re-rent if they wanted (VRBO would not), we were on our own.

We stayed here with my three young children. The place is wonderful. It's clean and comfortable and the pool/courtyard area is such a treat. The location is amazing, especially going to the beach with little kids couldn't be easier. They have beach gear you can use. The owners are lovely and live in the front house if you need anything. We would love to come back.
