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.

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. ##### Haruyuki S.

The location of this guesthouse is unbeatable - only steps to the gorgeous Kailua beach! They place is clean, spacious, quiet, well stocked. And they even had plenty of beach toys and beach chairs prepared for us. Easy access to grocery stores and beach sports rental places. The owner Mark and Lisa were friendly and responsive.

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! ##### Carolyn B.

We traveled as a couple having been to Kailua mutiple previous times. This unit perfectly fit the bill for what we are looking for: It is on the beach side of Kalaheo (\~15 steps from property gate to beach path gate), it is within a block of the market for morning coffee and an easy drive into town. It also had the best kitchen of any unit we've ever rented in Kailua including a full size refrigerator, full oven/stove, garbage disposal and dishwasher. Inside there is a separate sitting area from the bed and a nice size hd tv is provided. Outside there is a nice sitting area to the back of the unit and the privacy is good with the owners house & the neighbors. Beach chairs and beach towels are provided by the owners. The only downside is the lack of A/C. While we were there the tradewinds were calm a couple days and the house got a little stuffy. Plenty of fans are provided though. To top it off, the owners were both very nice and a pleasure to meet and speak briefly with. A true gem. If it's available next time we come we wouldn't hesitate to book this again. ##### Bryan F.

If you are traveling with small children and looking for a private less crowded vacation this location is perfect. House had all basics. Very convenient for families. Literally few steps from beautiful beach and less than a 5 minutes drive to Kailua town. Owners Mark and Lisa are available and live next door, initially I was little bit concerned with privacy however that was not an issue. Most days it felt as we were all alone. My only wish was that the house had A/C. Unfortunately house had no A/C as indicated in property details. We were aware of this prior to booking. There are several fans available but unfortunately at night we did not get much air or breeze, which made most of the nights uncomfortable to fall a sleep. During the day this was not an issue as we were outdoors. If you can get by without A/C I would strongly recommend this property. Thank you Mark for sharing your guesthouse with us. ##### Adisa B.

This property is in the perfect location. Literally just steps to the private beach and a short walk to the market. It was very comfortable and suited our needs perfectly. Would stay here again! ##### Lisa N. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2022 ---
