The rental was hot when we checked in at 4PM, but it aired out quickly thanks to fans, and a portable AC unit. Air circulates well when the windows and sliders are open. Lots of sunlight shines through, so it can warm up quickly if you don't get ahead of the heat. The rental was stocked with paper goods, soaps, and trash bags, and was kept pretty clean - rinsing off under the outdoor shower helped to keep the sand and dirt out. Having a washer and dryer, a full kitchen, and a BBQ in the private back yard was nice to have, too. There were a few cooking basics in the fridge and cupboard, but Target and Foodland were close by. There were plenty of dine-in options nearby, but pots, pans, and even an Instant Pot slow cooker were available for us to use to prepare meals when we didn't want to go out to eat. We didn't see a first aid kit anywhere, but luckily we didn't need one. The host did enter the property about 1.5 wks into our stay, which is not what we're used to at all, and it was a complete surprise... but with that being said, we're not the type of family that trashes rentals, we don't travel with our valuables, and nothing we brought with us went missing, so although it was kind of a big deal, it wasn't a truly big deal for us. The hosts communicated well and often, and were overall great. Mahalo plenty, Shari and Chuck, we look forward renting your property again for our next visit home!

On the plus side, the location is quiet, lovely, and next to the beach as promised. It's near many amenities and restaurants. The owners are very nice and gave us privacy. The downside was that the house was poorly supplied and not well kept. Toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap were limited or missing altogether. When we turned on the garbage disposal, rotten food came out of it. There is no AC so the rooms get very hot. The portable fans were covered in dust so we had to clean them before use. We also had to wipe down the counters and tables as they had dust or water spots on them. There was used dental floss in the bathroom garbage. Lastly, very little in the way of window coverings so there was no way to filter sun/lights in the rooms or have much in the way of privacy. Highly unlikely that we will use this house again unless changes are made.

The owners were very accommodating and the place was absolutely wonderful!! We loved being so close to the beach, just steps away!! The town is in walking distance and there are lots of great restaurants and stores to explore. The place was very comfortable. We enjoyed the outdoor shower after the beach and the bbq was great to have since the place gets so hot and we didn't want to turn the stove or oven on! The only thing I would recommend to the owners is to invest in air conditioning. They do have a lot of fans and one small air-conditioner in the main room but they are all very loud at night when sleeping. There is a nice breeze that comes through but on really hot days it gets quite hot inside even with the fans. Thanks so much we loved our stay!!.

Our stay was nice. The only thing is we wish that the owner had not entered our space without prior notice, that made us uncomfortable.

Beautiful beach house and location. Everything we needed! Thank you so much Shari and Chuck

Well equiped, very roomy house with beautiful garden/patio. Beach is steps away, long, not crowded, & very clean. Kailua town is just a 5 minute drive away.

Our 3rd time here. Chuck and Sheri are always helpful and friendly!

Shari and Chuck are the very best hosts. We really enjoyed our stay at their home. It had everything that we needed and more. The tropical patio was so much fun when we had family over. We slept great to the sound of the ocean and the February breeze that blew into our room. We will be back!
