Kailua Beach Bungalow - Jardin privé - 100 pas de la plage

When we booked this rental, I was not sure what to expect, because it is literally steps away from Kailua Beach, which can be a very busy area. Once we drove down the beautiful lane and saw the yard that was surrounding this rental, we knew we were in the right place. It is literally a small botanical garden. Cherie and Scott have done a beautiful job on the surroundings to promote beauty and privacy. On entering the rental, we were amazed at the furnishings and the art work and the views that were created from every window. We usually travel quite a bit when we are in Hawaii, going to different parts of the island. We spent 2 weeks here and did not go any further than Honolulu, Waimanalo and Ewa (to watch our daughter play college soccer). We mostly walked and swam at Kailua beach, snorkeled at Lanakai and tried out restaurant suggestions from Cherie and Scott. The indoor lanai and the yard were so delightful and peaceful that we spent more time at "home" than we usually do. Therefore we came away very relaxed and refreshed from this vacation. This is our 6th time to Oahu but a new favorite place we visited was the Lyons arboretum, 200 acres behind the U of Hawaii at Manoa. Lots of hikes and beautiful scenery. Went to several vegetarian restuarants and our favorite in Kailua was Beet Box and favorite in Honolulu was The Peace Café. Oh, and did I mention, Cherie and Scott were so friendly and helpful. Their thoughtfulness and creativity has created a very special place. We are grateful to have shared it for 2 weeks. Mahalo. Hope to return soon. Chris and Tom

Wonderful property. Outstanding location (beach is steps away) Tropical ambiance. Lush gardens meticulously maintained. Ultimate privacy. Gracious and helpful hosts. Outstanding value. Would come every year if we could!

My wife and I stayed 10 days. Scott and Cheri are excellent hosts who made for a great trip, providing local insight and advice for restaurants and activities. Their home is even more incredible than the pictures show. The garden property is astonishing, the bungalow is clean with a Hawaiian feel, and the location could not get any better (Kalapawai Market right next door, walk out to Kailua beach, walking distance to Lanikai beach and multiple restaurants/shops, a very short drive to downtown Kailua, and an easy drive to virtually anywhere on the island by avoiding Honolulu/Waikiki traffic). Do yourself a favor and stay here.

Thank you again, Scott and Cheri!

We are return guests. There is not one thing in the cottage that is missing to make your stay spectacular

Cheri and Scott's unit has a wonderful amount of living space with a great kitchen and lanai. Lots of privacy is present and they are great and friendly hosts. Fabulous beach access in Kailua and this is our favorite place to stay in Hawaii. Second time with them and we will be visiting again.
