Zen Home with AC, Pool, Near Kailua Beach
Inquire about short stays, we accommodate them where possible. Spend your vacation in our Hawaiian style 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom home a 3 minute walk from Kailua Beach. Our home features a balance of indoor and outdoor living. There is a Zen like courtyard and inviting navy blue mosaic swimming pool in the backyard. Each bedroom has its own private full bathroom and AC unit. The living room also has AC.
There is a property manager that is available to do check in, check out and if there is any troubleshooting needed.
This home is located on Kalaheo Avenue, just a 2 minute walk from beautiful Kailua Beach, located on the Windward Coast with 2 miles of soft sand, turquoise water, and gentle breezes. Kailua Beach is also a hub for water sports such as surfing, windsurfing, body boarding, kayaking, paddle boarding and parasailing.
If you are up to a challenging hiking trail, Ehukai Pillbox is only 2.4 miles away. It’s a 30 minute hike up to two old military bunkers that overlook the North Shore coastline. The views are breathtaking!
Try the breakfast at Cinnamons in downtown Kailua.
Walk to Kalapawai Market for sandwiches or burgers before heading to the beach.
Craving Asian food? You can choose between Champa Thai, Saigon Noodle, or Tokoname Sushi.
Thinking about Italian or Mexican? Maybe you can look into Assaggio, Buone Era or Cactus.
Why not try some fresh poke at Foodland or Wholefoods?
After a beautiful sunset by the beach, try the freshly caught seafood at Buzz's Lanikai by the canal.
The floor plan enables every room to have a view of water and lush greens, and also enables tropical breeze to free flow through the property. The 4th suite also has a separate entrance. The spacious kitchen, dining room and living room are in between the courtyard and backyard so it has the privilege of both pool and pond views and ample lights. Perfect for family vacation, family reunion, and other special family event celebration.
The home has been newly renovated with a fully equipped kitchen, modern floors, and island decor. To make working and learning remotely from paradise more efficient, we have upgraded our internet service to ultra-package throughout the property, and stored additional computer desks in case multiple working stations are needed.
Offering a truly Hawaiian experience, it is a great place to relax away from the crowds but still close enough for trips to Waikiki and North Shore. Walk to the Kalapawai Market for morning coffee. Wind surf or kite board from the best spot on the island, rent a kayak or paddle board, head to the Moku islands, or have shaved ice at Island Snow later in the day.

We traveled all the way from New York and only had airplane food that day so when we arrived at the house we were so happy to see a welcoming basket that had pineapple, drinks and chocolate in it! Check in process was easy. The house is so close to the beach which made it so nice with 4 kids. We tried to do as much as we could during our stay - would definitely recommend going to a Luau and Kualo Ranch! Thank you for allowing us to stay at your house!

Family week in Kailua
House and pool are in excellent condition, everything worked great as indicated. Plenty of space for 8 adults. Binder with directions was very clear and if we had questions we'd go to that first and then call our contact. I would note that the Koi pond requires a fair bit of attention and so we saw the host on multiple days keeping it in good working condition. Location to the beach, Kailua town and Lanikai beach are so convenient. We mostly walked and biked about town.

Great location close to beach, roomy
I highly recommend this home. The beach is just a few minutes walk away through the beach access. The home is in a great neighbourhood for walking. It's a quick drive to the town. Nice pool, comfortable beds, and room locations allowed for lots of privacy. Noe, the property manager, was lovely and wonderful to deal with. This was the perfect home for our family.

Best vacation ever
Our stay was absolutely fantastic. This was probably the best vacation we've ever had, and our stay here absolutely helped to make that possible. The house is beautiful and in the perfect location: 5 minute walk to Kailua Beach and 20 minute walk (5 min drive) to downtown Kailua. We had 2 families with us (4 adults, 1 teenager, 3 kids, 1 toddler). The layout was unique with 1 bedroom accessed from the Koi Pond area and 1 bedroom accessed from the pool area. All bedrooms were spacious and the largest bedroom worked perfectly for our family unit with my wife and me in the king bed, our 6 year-old on the air mattress in the room, and our toddler in the pack-n-play in the large attached walk-in closet which essentially meant he had his own room. The driveway fit 2 SUVs easily and we had the security of the driveway gate to close at night. The pool area was lovely and there was pleanty of beach and swimming equipment fo us to use. One of my favorite parts was the kitchen with large dining table that fit our whole group for many family meals. The house can only be rented once in a 30 day period due to a Honolulu ordinance, but they allowed us to pay just for the 9-nights thay we stayed. The property manager, Noe, was wonderful and greated us with check-in information as soon as we arrived on island, and was available immediately to assist us when we were having trouble figuring out an issue with one of the gates. 10/10 would recommend. We hope to return in the future!

Zen Paradise
The house is listed as a Zen Paradise and it truly is. There were nine of us and it was perfect. The four separate suites made us feel very private although the common area was beautiful, large well lit and offered us everything we would need for the perfect vacation. Everyone loved the swimming pool, and the Koi pond was gorgeous and peaceful. The beach was just a few steps away. Totally private with the security gate from the street and another secure gate to enter the property. Totally recommend 100% to anyone looking for a wonderful vacation. Kailua beach is beautiful would love to stay there again next year for a month. Noe is an amazing person to work with.

Scruggs Get-Together
Check in was easy and the place was just lovely! We had plenty of space. All the rooms had AC. There were plenty utensils and kitchenware.
The laundry room was essential so we were able to keep up with that. The pool was really nice although the last 2 days had to be cleaned so we weren't able to get in, but the beach is so close, it wasn't a problem. The Koi pond was excellent to read by and we thoroughly enjoyed our vacation there! I'd highly recommend the place! Dee

Description was misleading
Awesome location! Kitchen well stocked. On site property manager (Noe) was super nice and responsive.
BUT, it does not sleep 12. More like 8. You can have 10 if you want two people to sleep on an air mattress in the master bedroom or the living area (no other rooms can fit the air mattress). Kitchen and living room are not air conditioned which wasn't always pleasant. Two of the rooms cannot be accessed from the main house - you must go outside to get in. Chasing/catching toads that are attracted to the pond (but can be fatal to the koi) is not fun. Master "shower" was horrible - water pressure was about the same as the sink. It was unusable and forced us to use different bathrooms.

Perfect vacation
This property was wonderful! We had plenty of space for 3 families (4 kids). The property had everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable and the kids loved the pool. We drove to several beaches during our stay. The beach by the house, Lanikai, was one of the best. The property manager was very responsive to all my questions.
Our only suggestion is to get air conditioning in the living/kitchen area. It got rather hot each day even with the doors open.

Pleasant stay!
The property manager is excellent. The property has all the amenities you need. I would like to suggest that the pots and pans be replaced. The couch and loveseat in the living area also need to be replaced with more comfortable seating and more seating for as many people as this house does accommodate.
