We stayed for the winter holidays and it was the perfect home base for us, our infant and our extended family. It's actually larger and better than even the photos suggest. New construction and appliances were top notch. In a quiet neighborhood around half a mile north of Kailua town where there is everything you need including groceries, a Target, lots of tacos. Of course Kailua beach is also 3/4 mile west--you can walk or drive, we always found parking near the beach even during busy times. Host was very friendly and responsive. Waikiki is around a 25-30 min drive. I went to three public, local golf courses that were within a 15 min drive.
