My family and I stayed at this amazing big house with a gorgeous pool for a week. The host was responsive and helpful with check in and all questions and needs throughout the stay. We appreciated the complimentary treats on the kitchen counter and the cleanliness of the area. We highly recommend this property because it’s steps from Kailua beach which is calm and clear. The property has easy access to every location we wanted to travel to: Waimea, Waikiki, Honolulu airport, Pearl Harbor, north shore, and Ko Olina. Everything was less than an hour away. We would stay here again. The house had everything we needed to cook, save left overs, have many meals, clean up, lots of towels for the beach, a grill, and pool toys. Great experience at this property!!! Mahalo!

Lovely spacious home and pool, 50 yards across grass to Kailua beach, which is one of the most beautiful beaches in Hawaii.

Great house for a family vacation, 4 bedroom and 4 baths. We stayed over Christmas and New year and there was 7 adults in our group. Great location across from the beach and you can rent paddle boards and kayaks just a short walk down the beach. The house also has a nice pool area that you can hang out if you don't want to go to the beach. Most attractions, Pearl Harbor, Diamond Head,Honolulu and Waikiki are about an a half hour drive away. The pillbox hike is a short walk away and on our early morning walks on the beach we watched beautiful sun rises.

Perfect Kailua stay just across from the beach. The house was amazing and perfectly stocked. Top notch property management as we had an issue with the fridge and they took care of it rapidly.We had a wonderful stay and hope to make this a yearly visit.

This home is in a great location and is a terrific place to stay.

It’s need to be perfect air conditionings throughout the house

We could not have been happier with our stay at beautiful Ka'hela! We were 6 adults and 2 kids and it was just the perfect space for us. The house is even prettier and more spacious than the pictures suggested (if that's possible). Kellie was wonderful to work with - super responsive and willing to answer my many questions. And she had some wonderful Hawaiian treats waiting for us - which were much enjoyed after a 15 hour travel day! The pool was perfect entertainment for the kids when the adults just wanted to sit around and enjoy the beautiful lanai - they really enjoyed all of the pool toy options - especially the giant flamingo! We also made use of the beach chairs, coolers and snorkel equipment. The house is very well stocked inside and out! Also - the location could not have been better. Not being familiar with the island, we decided on Kailua based on online research and after exploring much of O'ahu over the 2 weeks we were there, I can say that Kailua Beach was by far the prettiest one that we visited. The sand is so white and soft and the water is SO blue with gentle waves that were perfect for the kids. The fact that this amazing beach is right across the street from this beautiful property really makes this a wonderful find. I highly recommend this property! I sure hope that we can make it back to O'ahu one day and would stay here again in a heartbeat! Mahalo!

We stayed at Ka'hela in 2007. I was a little worried that the place would feel "old" or too "worn in". Not the case! Still really gorgeous! The trees and other greenery around the property have really grown, which provides a lot of privacy when enjoying the yard and pool. The rooms are clean and beautifully decorated, and the A/C in the bedrooms wonderfully combats the humidity. The home is fully stocked and very organized. The location is perfect -- steps to Kailua beach park, and an easy uphill to the Lanikai loop. Walking distance to bike/Kayak rentals, pizza, drinks, etc. We really enjoyed our stay and hopefully it won't be another 12 years before we return. Highly recommend this rental!

the Oahu Eastside Beaches the Ka'Hela grounds the Ka"Hela house the Ka'hela staples the Ka'Hela security the Ka'Hela comfort & cleanliness were all that a family could ask for...... We hope to return to Paradise!

First of all, we have rented many homes and condos throughout the years. This is the best stocked home that we have ever rented. The kitchen has all the pots, pans dishes that you will ever need, whether you decide to eat in or go out. The owner even provides containers for leftovers to be stored (first time we have seen this). We were also provided with plenty of garbage bags, dish soap (even for the dishwasher) and laundry detergent. The kitchen also had different sized tumblers for after dinner drinks. This may seem like no big deal for most people, but I have stayed at many high-end places where they were not provided. The home was exceptionally clean and very close to the beach. In fact, we were across the street from a beautiful park by Kailua Beach. The security gate was an added bonus and very easy to use even though we never felt unsafe in this area (we walked to Buzz's Restaurant for dinner). The garage with opener was also an added bonus, nice place to store all of our diving gear. Very nice Tommy Bahama beach chairs with back-pack straps were provided. This home felt as comfortable as our own home, it was definitely nice to be away from the crowds at Waikiki Beach (we did do a beach day there). Kellie, the manager for the owners, had great communication and answered all of our questions promptly. When visiting Oahu, we will surely stay here again and we would recommend this home to our family and friends.

This house is just plain wonderful. Modern appliances, granite countertops, two master bedrooms with walk-in closets, two-car garage, washer and dryer, and FOUR full bathrooms. If you're coming from the Mainland you might be thinking, "What's the big deal?" But after having spent a few weeks looking at real estate in Kailua and Kaneohe, I can tell you, this house is a gem, with features that are extremely uncommon here. It is pure luxury, right across the street from one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. It also has a beautiful pool with lush, tropical landscaping; it really is paradise. My family of six moved to Hawaii and stayed for two months while we were waiting to move into permanent housing, and we loved every minute of it and hated to leave. Kellie the property manager was fantastic to deal with, and Liz the owner, was so flexible and accommodating to our changing schedule; I can't thank her enough. The house is perfect for a beach vacation. Beach towels are provided, and the garage has plenty of beach chairs, toys, snorkels, and boogie boards. I even left a skim board behind for future guests. This was a great stay and I highly recommend.

This house was amazing, had everything you could want. Beautiful yard/pool. The beach access was especially great for a family, being able to walk there made beach days very easy. Will definitely be back.

Our family of 8 (three generations) had a wonderful time at this beautiful house. The house is in the best location, right across the street from Kailua beach and park and a short walk away from stunning Lanikai beach (we enjoyed snorkeling there). Wonderful views from Pillbox Hike, just up the hill from Lanikai beach. We were able to explore some other parts of the island during our stay with our rental cars (North Shore, Hawaii Kai, Waikiki) and were happy to have chosen to stay in Kailua. The house was beautiful and provided lots of space and privacy for all of us. It was clean, well taken care of and stocked with everything we needed. The kitchen especially was probably the best stocked kitchen we have ever seen in a rental house. We enjoyed the outdoor pool as well as the grill. The yard felt very much like a private paradise. Kellie, the manager, was wonderful. She communicated with us before the trip and was very responsive to our questions during our stay. We hope to return to this beautiful place!

The location of this house is fantastic. Walk across the road to the park and 3minuites later you are on Kailua Beach. The pool was nice as well. It is a little crowded out in the pool area and the living room when all 8 of us were in the same spot and there were not enough places for all 8 to sit comfortably at the pool or living room watching the Olympics. Kitchen was great. The house is all of 5 minutes from downtown and centrally located to all of the island and attractions. We had a great time. Special thanks to Kellie who was always available and helpful.

7 adults & 1 grandchild enjoyed our Kailua (the house is in Kailua, not Lanikai) family vacation very much, in large part due to the excellent house we rented. We had plenty of room to spread out, giving us privacy when needed, & a spacious living/dining room & patio/pool area for meals and fun! The beach is nearby, shopping and restaurants are accessible, and downtown Honolulu/Waikiki are a short drive away.

Our family of 6 (4 adults, two children) stayed in this wonderful home. We loved how spacious it was, everyone had their own room and bathroom. Every kitchen tool we could ever have needed and more was available for use, and the house was well stocked with paper goods and cleaning items (paper towels, dish soap, laundry detergent, etc). The amount of beach and pool toys was very much appreciated. Our toddler enjoyed every second in the pool and its just a short walk to the most beautiful beach! The owner and Kellie, the property manager, were friendly and easily accessible pre-travel and during our stay. It was wonderful how the bedrooms had AC, however I echo another reviewer in mentioning that it would be nice to have AC in the common space. We didn't get crosswinds blowing unless we had the sliding doors, the front door and the garage door open, which was alright since it's a gated lane, but not ideal. It was a hot August, and a quick dip in the pool or at the beach was an easy resolution as well. Overall, a fantastic stay at Kahela. Would definitely book again!

We loved our stay at the house which had plenty of room for our family of 7. We enjoyed having the pool as an alternative to the beach on some days. There are lots of sand toys in the garage which my 2 year old enjoyed. The bedrooms have AC for comfortable sleeping but the rest of the house does not. It would have been nice to have the whole house with AC but overall we loved the proximity to the beach and the short walk to Kalapawai market for coffee, food and gelato. A very relaxing stay!

The house and location were amazing.

I can't explain how wonderful this house is. There were 6 of us for a family vacation and we all had enough room together and separately. The pool is amazing and so comfortable with the table and chairs nearby. The entire house was well stocked and we didn't need anything except fresh food. The grill came in handy as well. The beach was across the street and they had everything we needed. This was the most fantastic trip we have taken in a long time and we wouldn't hesitate to go back!

A very nice house for a family vacation in a beautiful location with a lovely beach park across the road. We felt very welcome and relaxed, Kellie made us feel immediately at home and was very helpful with local knowledge. The house was well stocked and very comfortable. The layout is great for multiple families - everybody had their own space with heaps of storage. Probably the best holiday house we stayed at.

We enjoyed our stay at Ka'hela. The house was very spacious and nice. We were out and about most of the time exploring the island but Ka'hela was always nice to return to. The property was immaculate and very secure. The pool was wonderful and our children used it a lot! It was very quiet despite the busy area. We would definitely stay again and we recommend it highly!

We really enjoyed our stay at Ka'hela! We travelled with my parents (in their early 60s) and our two children (just turned 2 and almost 1). It is a beautiful house, very nicely decorated with a Hawaiian flavour, lovely pool and back yard, great location in Kailua. Just across the street and second house back from Kailua Beach Park so very close to the fantastic beach with safe water to swim in and lots of shade available for beach lounging. Their property manager in Hawaii was super helpful to us before and during our stay.

This property exceeded the photos beyond expectations with small amenities that made it a 'home away from home'. The location in a gated community just across the road from an amazing beach was safe & superb. In fact, we tried several other beaches @ Oahu & always found Kalaiha the best for warmth & safety. The biggest plus of the property was the pool which my grandchildren lived in the entire time we weren't @ the beach. AC, TV's, fans & decor were most appreciated by my entire family.

After a long flight, we were welcomed by friendly staff and began to unwind in this immaculate and beautifully decorated house. The house and kitchen were stocked with more than enough towels, appliances and gadgets; in addition to a fridge large enough to hold all the poke we bought and devoured all week! The safety of the gated community and the convenience of the beach that was just across the street was a bonus for our young children who went from the beach to the pool or vice versa within a matter of minutes. Thank you Liz and your staff for your hospitality!

We can not wait to return to this beautiful and conveient to everything in Kailua property! Absolutely perfect home for our family. Private and quiet. Location to the beach park allowed us many family soccer and baseball games. Promimety to Kalama, Lanikai, and Kailua beaches fit all our children's needs perfectly. Staff was fantastic to work with. Everything was exactly as advertised. we have used vacation homes a number of times, this home was by far the cleanest and best maintained. Mahalo!

We stayed at this beautiful home with my husband's parents, sister and of course our kids (17 and 11 yrs.old). Not only is the house well equipped for your stay, but it is nicely decorated. The picture of the yard does not do it justice as well as how close you are to Kailua beach. We travelled a fair bit to see as much of Oahu as we could during our stay, so after a full day of sighseeing it was nice to have this to call "home" and get away from it all instead of having to go to a hotel and sharing pools, etc. Thank you Liz! Thank you "Two Wahines"! We did not want to leave!! We hope to come back soon.
