This house was the perfect spot for our weeklong stay in Kailua. The house is comfortable, impeccably maintained and perfectly located for a quiet beach vacation. Easily accessible beach (a true gem) and backyard with grill and pool provided the ideal spot to kickback and relax. Sue and Peter are amazing hosts and lovely people.
Excellent home in a beautiful neighborhood in Kailua. The kitchen was well stocked (although we didnât cook as much as we were planning as this house was in close proximity to many great local restaurants). Having a pool was great for some down time especially with 2 toddlers. Sue was an amazing host, welcoming and easy to communicate with but gave us our space. 5 mins walk to a private beach, 10 mins away from town, 1 hr away from North Shore. Highly, highly recommend!
Perfect house and layout for our multi-generational getaway. Everything we needed was there! Walking distance to one of the best beaches and a pool for the kids to enjoy as well. Top marks and highly recommend!
This was by far the most fantastic vacation weâve ever had! The property was absolutely gorgeousâeven more stunning than the photosâand the hosts were truly exceptional. Sue, you went above and beyond, and Iâm so grateful for your kindness! :) The house is ideally located just a few minutes from a grocery store and restaurants, and a short walk to a beautiful beach right outside the gate. Whenever we needed something to stock in the property, Sue's communication was prompt and consistent, providing assistance whenever we needed it. The gift basket was the perfect extra touch to make us feel genuinely welcome in Hawaii! (Because of the gift basket, we learned about Hawaiian drinks and local snacks) Our family had the best and unforgettable vacation! Thank you so much, Sue and Peter!!
Conveniently located near a private beach access point, this home was a delight! A wonderful layout, beautiful pool and outdoor area, and convenient location to downtown Kailua. Even more impressive than the home, are the hosts. Sue was simply amazing, ensuring our trip was blissful. Her communications are top notch and I can not thank her enough for making sure our stay was amazing.
This property, and owner Sue, were just what we weâre looking for! A quick less than 5 minute walk to a gorgeous beach with few people, a warm pool, and comfortable accommodations. Weâre so glad we chose to stay here. Weâll definitely try to stay here again when we visit Oahu next! Amazing experience all around :)
My husband, son, daughter in law and granddaughter (3) had a wonderful 10 days in Sue's property. It's very close to the beach and we all enjoyed the pool. The house is really well equipped - and had everything we needed for the beach including toys, boogie boards and coolers. Sue is a very kind and responsive host. Many thanks Sue!
We had a relaxing stay at this beautiful house and location. Having access to a private pool, the covered lanai and the beautiful sandy shores of Kailua beachfront steps away really enhanced our retreat in paradise. Sue was the perfect hostess and welcomed us with a yummy basket of local treats which we throughly enjoyed. She was very accommodating and communication was seamless. We loved the layout of the house and used the beautiful kitchen to cook our meals. We look forward to staying again when we return to Kailua. Mahalo Sue and Peter for your hospitality.
Absolutely the most beautiful vacation to date! The property was beautiful and even better than pictured and the hosts were incredible to say the least! Sue, you really went above and beyond and I am so thankful for you!! The house is 3 minutes or less from grocery store, Starbucks and a few restaurants. The beach was just a short walk and stunning. The house was well stocked and the gift basket was the perfect touch to an already warm welcome. My daughter left her glasses and Sue mailed them to us right away. Your home was perfect for us in every way and we had the best vacation ever. Thank you for everything â„ïž
We stayed at this beautiful home for 11 days with our daughter, her husband, and their 16-month old daughter. The accommodations couldn't have been better. The home has two master suites and a third bedroom that could easily accommodate two people as well, plus a half bath. The kitchen was well stocked and perfect for dining in. We weren't expecting to use the pool, but it was great for relaxing evenings after full days on the beach and exploring the island. Sue was the perfect host. She couldn't have been nicer, although the house is equipped so well we really didn't need any help. We've stayed in Kailua more than 10 times. Even though we've rented properties that were right on the beach, we both agree this was the best home we've stayed in. We look forward to returning.
My family & I recently stayed at the Kailua property for a week to attend a wedding. The house was even better than advertised. It is well-located near shopping and excursions and has private beach access. The house had plenty of room for our group (four adults) and additional space to entertain friends and family members who were also attending the wedding. The three bedrooms and bathrooms allowed everyone to have their own space, and the A/C allowed us to cool off on warmer days. The two, master bedrooms were large with modern, walk-in showers. All bedrooms had plenty of storage space and we all slept very well the entire week. Everything we needed from kitchen appliances and cooking utensils to pool and beach gear was provided. With all of our planned activities, I wasnât sure how much we would use the pool, but we actually used it every day! The lanai was the perfect space to relax and enjoy meals. The owners were very friendly and wonderful hosts and were very responsive to questions and requests. The house was immaculate and exceptionally maintained. We would definitely stay there again and recommend the house to anyone. It really made our trip much more relaxing and enjoyable.
Our family had a great stay at Hale Kaikea, the owners are amazing and the house is in a great location and very well managed. We have already booked our next stay and can hardly wait to come back!
My family of four, two adults and two tweens, spent a week at Sue and Peterâs lovely Kailua home. It was perfect! The house itself was beautiful and comfortable. It was sparkling clean and well-organized as well. We enjoyed jumping in the pool and relaxing on the lanai every afternoon. The beach was just steps away and the house had all the things we needed to enjoy itâbeach chairs, towels, umbrella, etc. The beds were very comfortable. We appreciated having air conditioning available in all the rooms. Most of the time we did not need it, but it was nice to have. Sue was kind, welcoming and accessible. We had an amazing stay and hope to return in the future.
Property owners were so nice and so informative. The house was great, had everything we needed for our stay and was very clean. This property was everything we expected plus so much more. Loved the pool and the beach. Owners had everything you would need for either. Will be coming back for sure! Thank you Sue and Peter.
We had the best time staying at this vacation rental! The property exceeded the pictures posted online, was very clean, and OMG, the kitchen is a cooks dream! So well organized and just about every kitchen tool you could want! The master bedroom had a large walk-in closet and I loved the shower with its rain shower head and handheld option as well. And thereâs even an outdoor shower!
And the hosts are especially lovely. Sue greeted us upon arrival and had a wonderful welcome-basket full of goodies.
And we both loved the coffee pot! So much that we ordered one for ourselves once we were home!
I highly recommend staying here and look forward to future visits.
My husband and I stayed at this property in August with our twin tweens. It was perfect! The beach was a short walk away and even on weekends, it was never crowded. We also really enjoyed swimming in the heated pool. The outdoor area is very spacious and includes four lounge chairs, an outdoor sectional couch, a coffee table, and a dining table with six chairs. There is also a grassy area on the far side of the pool. The house was equipped with various pool and beach gear, including a wagon, some coolers, beach chairs, boogie boards, and sand toys, which was very convenient. There is also an outdoor shower so we were able to get rid of the beach sand before entering the house. The kitchen was impressively well-equipped. My daughter wanted to make lemon cupcakes one afternoon, and I assumed that we would need to buy a zester. We checked the kitchen and there were actually three different types of zesters already in the house. There are also separate A/C systems in each bedroom and the common area, which kept the interior nice and cool. (I had read in a prior review that the third bedroom did not have A/C, but it has since been added). There are also televisions in each bedroom as well as in the living room. The televisions have Roku, and the owners have accounts for various streaming services for the guests to use. (We used Netflix, Hulu, and Disney Plus during our stay). The owners also provide a really helpful guide for guests that includes restaurant suggestions, the wifi password, etc. They were very communicative in answering our questions and made our stay very easy and fun. We cannot wait to return!
Very beautiful home. Very clean and all the amenities we needed.
The owners were so nice. They were available to us for anything we needed. I would highly recommend this property to everyone. We had a wonderful time there and I hope to go back again.
Our family loved everything about this beautiful house near the beach! It could not have been a better family vacation and we highly recommend this property and hope to return again.
Mahalo!!
The house is lovely, very clean and spacious. The short walk to the beach through private access was ideal. Our hosts made us feel like family. We can't wait to go back!
Sue and Peter are the kindest hosts - just exceptional people! Top notch stay, great location, layout of home is ideal. Great pool and 5 minutes from one of the most beautiful beaches. Cannot wait to return!
The house was lovely, on a very quiet street and the perfect getaway for me. I wanted a place that I can retreat to that was close to the beach. The house was a very short walk to the beach and when I did not want to go to the beach, the private pool was just icing on the cake. A big mahalo to Peter and Sue for being wonderful hosts. The house is just as pictured but better!! I found myself wanting to book the next time I visit before I even left.
Susan and Peterâs place is impeccably clean and organized, and in close proximity to one of Oahuâs most beautiful beaches.
They are remarkably warm and generous hosts with a real sense of âohana.â
Susan has literally thought of everything. Despite the fact that I was there for a funeral, it was a joyful experience.
Sue and Peter's property is idyllic. The home is spotless, updated, and perfect for a family retreat on Oahu.
Having lived in Hawaii before, there is no place I would rather stay than Kailua - it has the best beaches, allows you to feel like a local, and is convenient to many of Oahu's main attractions. And if staying in Kailua, I can't imagine staying anywhere other than at Sue and Peter's gorgeous property. Sue and Peter have thought of everything, from a generous welcome basket of treats to boogie boards to beach umbrellas. Our kids especially enjoyed the heated pool, and the adults were extremely grateful for the exceptional a/c (which is often hard to come by on the island).
If you are looking for a serene, relaxing, and welcoming place to stay, look no further!
The home was perfect for our family, house was spacious well appointed, clean and comfortable! We loved the large covered lanai and pool. Great beach access and Sue and Peter were lovely and gracious hosts! We would love to stay there again when we return to Oahu!
