Guest review: “This location was absolutely amazing. We felt like we paid so much more for this spot than we did. You can hear the slight ocean waves on the shore just right outside of the building. We spotted a lot of turtles in the area. A fun place to swim. A note though do bring slippers you can get wet because the rocks are a bit sharp and uncomfortable. The rooms were in an open area but there were slide doors to get some privacy. There was an outdoor patio that had a dining table which was just an amazing experience to eat and just relax. One master bedroom which was very nice and you can see the sunrise and sunset also, the lights from the downtown area. The restrooms were great and clean. Great Place especially with a large group.” – Eric

It was cosy, quiet, very close to the beach and gave us the opportunity to shop and cook for ourselves. We loved sitting in our private garden and also in the sitting room. The bungalow was very clean and we were provided with everything we required – the beach items were very appreciated! The hosts – Jenn, Cheri and Michael were present if needed but really stepped back and allowed us our space. Kailua beach is so idyllic! The bungalow is very close to a market and we walked into town on numerous occasions. I highly recommend this accommodation to any couples.”- Hendi
