My wife and I stayed 10 days. Scott and Cheri are excellent hosts who made for a great trip, providing local insight and advice for restaurants and activities. Their home is even more incredible than the pictures show. The garden property is astonishing, the bungalow is clean with a Hawaiian feel, and the location could not get any better (Kalapawai Market right next door, walk out to Kailua beach, walking distance to Lanikai beach and multiple restaurants/shops, a very short drive to downtown Kailua, and an easy drive to virtually anywhere on the island by avoiding Honolulu/Waikiki traffic). Do yourself a favor and stay here. Thank you again, Scott and Cheri!

We are return guests. There is not one thing in the cottage that is missing to make your stay spectacular

Cheri and Scott's unit has a wonderful amount of living space with a great kitchen and lanai. Lots of privacy is present and they are great and friendly hosts. Fabulous beach access in Kailua and this is our favorite place to stay in Hawaii. Second time with them and we will be visiting again.

Our experience could not have been better or more special. Cheri and Scott are amazing hosts and have created a paradise both comfortable and incredibly special. Location can not be beat for the Windward side both for access to town and the beach mere steps away. The grounds are so special and meticulous. Cannot recommend highly enough!!

If you are looking for the Hawaii you always imagined, this is the place to stay. Cheri and Scott have created a little slice of heaven just a few steps from the most beautiful beach we have ever seen. The gardens surrounding the home capture you from the moment you open the gate. No, I take that back...you are captured from the moment you turn off the street into the beautiful driveway into the property. It obvious that they special attention to detail not only in the stunning garden, but in the home as well. The kitchen was equipped with anything you could possibly need as well as the spacious bathroom. Air condition units worked great when we wanted to be cool at night. We enjoyed our morning coffee and evening wine on the loungers in the garden as well as the beautiful screened in porch. Bed was one of the most comfortable we have ever slept on and loved having a walk- in closet. The location in Kailua is great. We were only minutes away from vegetarian dining as well as organic grocery stores. A big plus for us was lots of places to get our daily runs in and a great little market/coffee shop/deli right next door. The icing on the cake was Cheri and Scott are the nicest people you could ever meet and were always so responsive. Whenever we return to Oahu, which I hope is soon, we won't even look anywhere else. I can't imagine how it could get any better than this.

This VRBO was truly the prettiest rental we’ve ever stayed in. Not only were we surrounded by beautiful botanical gardens, but the inside of the rental was beautiful as well. The owners were beyond hospitable and truly embraced the feeling of Aloha. The location of this place in Kailua was spectacular. It’s located right next to a fantastic market and merely steps away from the beach. We would highly recommend staying here and would love to stay here again during future travels.

The bungalow was all it was advertised and more! Peaceful gardens, beautifully decorated and gracious hosts. Well appointed. Steps from the beach. A little slice of paradise. We would most definitely stay here again!

We returned to the Enchanting Kailua beach Bungalow and loved it all over again. The setting is amazing with beauty everywhere. The bungalow is very comfortable and the art work and decor is exceptional. Cheri and Greg are wonderful hosts. We will be back.

What a quiet, serene place to unwind and relax. It doesn’t get any better. We’ve been visiting Kailua,Hawai’i every year since 1968. This place is the best. We booked our return visit before leaving for home. We never did that in the past. Mahalo Cheri and Scott for your heartfelt Aloha.

The property and accommodations were everything we hoped for and more. The setting is absolutely magnificent. A true oasis. The owners are so welcoming and always willing to answer questions and give recommendations of places to visit. You could not ask for a better location. We can’t wait to return. It is truly a special place.

Cheri and Scott are gratious hosts who leave no detail to chance. Their property is gorgeous and the bungalow is uniquely appointed throughout. We were able to rest, relax and it was 10 to 15 steps to the beach from the gate in the back yard. You will be blown away at arrival when you make your way down their front drive, nothing short of a magical entrance to paradise. If you are a kiteboarder buckle your seatbelt for one of the best spots on earth and a property that provides a wonderful outside shower within the lush, gated private backyard. We will be back! Joe and Michelle

Great location on the beach! Convenient to water sports, small market and town with several restaurants and grocery stores. Enjoyed the tropical garden, walking on the beach, swimming, and the amazing sunrises. Cottage is well equipped, clean, and decorated in a stylish tropical theme. The resident hosts are very kind and helpful with many useful suggestions for activities and restaurants. We have stayed at other rentals in the area and this one stands out as the best!

Pefection all around! Peaceful, comfortable, excellent location and superb hosts. We will return!

We stayed at the Kailua Beach Bungalow and from the instant of our arrival until our departure it has been like a dream!! After a flight from New Zealand I decided not to get a rental car until the next day (driving on the opposite side of the road etc. etc.) so we caught the bus (not easy and not always accepted on buses with luggage) and was a "tad" bedraggled on arrival - like a mirage the delightful owners Scott and Cheri walked along the road to meet us with 2 large glasses of coconut water, dripping with moisture and ice cold - At that very moment I knew our stay was going to be spectacular and it has been. The gracious owners live on sight yet totally respect your right to privacy yet are only a couple of seconds away if needed. I own a short term accommodation business so I know what is needed to make guests feel at home and comfortable - Scott and Cheri's presentation and execution of details are spot on. The accommodation is set in an acre of unbelievable tropical foliage beyond anything you may have experienced and as a guest you can sit and enjoy all day long. If you are discerning in how you live and require an accommodation that compliments that then Kailua Beach Bungalow will meet those needs. Access to the beach is RIGHT there via a gate with a digital lock - Kailua town is walkable . If you are looking for a private, secluded, no noise, relaxing, healing, soft space then Kailua Beach Bungalow will be the place. Thank you Scott and Cheri for letting us share what I see as an absolute "piece of paradise" Kathy from Aotearoa/New Zealand - Kia Ora

Could not been better. Was our second time in this marvelous place. Can‘t wait to come back. Not only because of the location but for the excellent hosts as well.

Cheri and Scott have created a really nice space with lots of living area, a full kitchen and a very nice bathroom area which is huge with a nice shower included. They are really helpful with local advice about shopping and sightseeing. Being able to walk to Kailua Beach and Lanikai Beach was perfect. Kailua is a great town and easy to get to know and navigate around. Somehow, it seems to hit the trifecta of being in the magic of the nature of Hawaii, being in a small friendly community and being in a very comfortable living space all at the same time. I haven't had this experience since staying in the tentalows at Molokai Ranch many years ago which is sadly now closed. I have stayed in condominium rentals in Poipu, Kaui and Waikiki before and have also stayed in house rentals in Volcano, South Point and Waikaloa on the big island and in Laie on Oahu. This trip was definitely the best ever.

This unit surpassed our expectations, and they were considerable given the many 5 star reviews. Cheri had provided everything we needed or could think of for the stay including kitchen implements, condiments, paper products, etc., an arrival fruit gift, beach chairs, towels, shower products, books on Oahu, etc. The unit has a nice lanai, spacious living space, lots of natural light, and all surrounded by a garden that is on the order of a botanical garden attraction. Out the gate of the yard, and you are in the Kailua Beach Park, one of the most pleasant beaches in the islands. We were able to come and go as we pleased with our own entry, access to the gated driveway, etc. When my wife got stung by a small jellyfish, Cheri was quick to help out and made sure she was okay. Overall, we were very pleased with our stay and would highly recommend this unit. Our thanks to the Owners for a wonderful week.

It was exactly as advertised. It met all of our expectations and needs. The property was in excellent condition. The location was wonderful. Great beach about a 100 steps away. We watched the sunrise every morning from our beach chairs. When the wind came up we enjoyed watching the kite surfers. We will stay there again.

We had a fabulous stay at Cheri and Scott's cottage! Beautifully decorated with an artistic touch, the owners have attended to every detail for their guests. We felt like we were in the middle of a botanical garden. The location is amazing, right across from a fantastic beach park where you can swim, walk, paddle board and kyack. Ez walk to downtown and restaurants and shopping if you don't want to drive. We were sad to leave and hope to be back in the future! Cynthia & Roy

Our stay at Cheri and Scott's bungalow was wonderful. Our hosts were the best. They were very friendly, informative, helpful and not at all obtrusive. All their recommendations for restaurants and sightseeing were spot on. The property is perfectly located. It is steps from a beautiful beach and the owners have provided all beach equipment. The accommodations were very comfortable with everything you would need. We totally enjoyed our stay and would return over and over again.

Enchanting, indeed. Hosts/ owners Cheri and Scott have created a beautiful, lush and serene oasis in the beach town of Kailua. The location could not be better - steps from Kailua Beach Park yet totally secluded, private and quiet due to their thoughtfully landscaped gardens. The cottage is well-equipped with a full kitchen, appliances, outdoor gas grill and beach chairs, mats and towels. Plus you get to enjoy the meditative koi pond. On site parking is a real plus. Cheri and Scott are helpful and informative without being obtrusive. You will feel right at home and wish you could stay longer!

Charming bungalow. The location was ideal. Very close to the beach and market. The hosts were very hospitable and accommodating. They were available and helpful with the right balance of giving us our privacy. We would definitely come back and recommend this place to family and friends.

This location is perfect! It is away from the touristy side of the island and is perfect for sightseeing all over the island. We would definitely recommend the bungalow to others.

Staying in Kailua was the perfect balance of quiet and adventure for us. We went on a few day trips, explored town, and spent plenty of time on the beach just out the back gate. Inside the rental (if you're ever there) is spacious, well-equipped, and nicely decorated. Cheri defines hospitality, and was available whenever we needed her.

Our stay at Cheri & Scott's bungalow was perfect! Such warm & welcoming hosts and comfortable, spacious & beautifully decorated apartment. The lush, tropical grounds were so lovely and calming to be in. Sitting outside in our own private garden, enjoying the sound of birds and the ocean waves was so tranquil. Having Kailua beach with it's gorgeous jewel-colored waters just outside the garden gate was wonderful. We looked forward to our beach walks and runs every morning. Mahalo Cheri & Scott! We're already planning our next visit!
