Kailua Home away from home
Wonderful location, house and host. Jordan made me feel very welcome, as well as roommates, neighbors and Yogi (house pup). Great amenities, from outdoor shower to deck and hot tub. Open concept shared space and a short walk to the beach. I’ll surely book again when I have a chance to return. Mahalo

My stay at Coconut Grove
Overall the property was really nice, beautiful house. Super nice people. The room was a little dusty/dirty nothing a clean couldn’t of fixed. It wasn’t to far from anywhere a mile from the beach two to town. Overall I would recommend.

Peaceful, quaint & quiet vintage home
Great place to chill and decompress after a long day of babysitting. Awesome Mountain Views in the back yard. Nice tiled, outside shower for pre/post hot tubbing. Beautiful drive on and off H3, views are just whats needed to start and end a day. Homes are just very close together in this part of Kailua.

Lovely stay in Kailua
Simple room in house owned by nice couple who were very friendly and welcoming. Their dog Yogi is so sweet and loveable. Neighborhood is tranquil and close to the beach. Room is great for a solo traveller. No fridge in room but host allows use of main kitchen fridge (which I didn't use). Mostly ate out or got take-out. Good eats in the area.
Recommend renting a car for ease of getting around. Was nice to be able to park right in front of the house.
Overall a great stay and I would definitely come back!

Amazing!
I am so glad I picked this amazing place to stay at! I had never rented a room in a house before and was nervous about it. The hosts made me feel very comfortable and I totally fell in love with their dog. I walked to the beach and saw the sunrise each day of my stay. I enjoyed the hot tub quite a bit as well. If you are looking for a great spot for a solo traveler at a great price this is perfect for you!!

Nice folks, great for solo travellers. Their dog Yogi is super sweet!
As described, great location and nice folks. Stayed during covid so limited interaction but if you need a place to crash after a long day at the beach, this is perfect.

Amazing home and people!
Loved this place! Incredible people. The white sands room is simple and perfect, all that’s needed for a solo traveler. Hosts are incredibly kind and their dog is a total sweetheart. If you use Lyft or Uber keep in mind that GPS will take driver’s down the wrong alley. I found it easier to walk to the main road so Uber driver’s could see me when I needed a ride. Everything there was very clean. The fridge was very nice to have. No AC but it isn’t needed because it’s wonderful weather in Kailua! Their hot tub is lovely. I’m a quiet person so mostly kept to myself, but enjoyed the interactions I had with the fellow guest as well. A great place to stay and would highly recommend. Close to the beach and in a nice neighborhood.

Gracious easy going hosts taking pains to maintain property
The house is tidy in a good location. A bit hard to find in old working class neighborhood. Kailua has all the regular retail you need without the stresses of finding parking and Kailua beaches are my favorite in Oahu
