A lot of money for a lot of hassle
The property was okay, and bed was comfortable. However, the dishes and linens were old, mismatched and looked as if they came from a clearance bin at at thrift store. Tenants get one towel, hand towel and washcloth for an entire week’s stay. The worst part of this property is the host. Shari was a nuisance and made us feel very unwelcome. She would see us multiple times on the property and say everything was fine, and then send us texts one to two hours later while my husband and I were out enjoying hikes, tours etc, accusing us of entertain in the unit, when we simply asked our children ( who were residents or had other lodging) in to say goodnight. Shari texted us while we we on a tour that cost us 800 to tell us we disturbed her other tenant two nights prior, when we had just seen her in her driveway before we left for the tour!!! The tenants she was referring to were in the other side of the residence with at least two walls and multiple square feet of property between us, and she waited until over twenty for hours after they left to bring this up via text while we were enjoying one of the highlights of our trip. I asked her to stop texting me and speak to me personally if she had any issues. She replied by offering to refund us for the rest of the trip if “needed to find something that better suited our needs”. She would make this offer again on Christmas Day when I complained to VRBO. I had to block her for the rest of the trip to have any peace!

This location gave us the perfect beachfront oasis we were looking for! The accommodations were clean and well kept. The bed was comfortable with soft sheets and perfectly fluffed pillows. Shari made check in and out a breeze. She also gave us a lot of local restaurant recommendations which were worth absolutely worth the hype! If you are looking for a private and peaceful beachfront getaway, I highly recommend this spot!

Not what we expected
Left 2 minutes after realizing what we had expected was far from what it actually was. We realize views and privacy mean different things to different people but this has neither. Would not recommend it if the expectation is what is advertised.

Perfect Beach Escape
Our four night stay at Shari’s place in Kailua was the perfect beach escape to start our November week in O’ahu. The apartment was comfortable and provided everything we needed. The location provided a short walk to Kailua Beach for daily dips in the ocean and long morning walks. Access to the center of town with a good selection of restaurants was under a 10 minute drive and close enough to Honolulu for those wanting to explore a little further away. Shari’s communication before and during our stay was excellent. We hope to return again soon.

Great oceanfront stay
The unit was clean and perfect for our 2 night stay. We wanted on the beach property and that’s exactly what we got! The beach is beautiful and the host was very communicative and even let us know if parking with other tenants changed for the day. We had zero issues. It’s quiet and the natural air was easy to sleep in

Kailua Beach stay
The property is in prime location steps from Kailua Beach. The room itself is spacious, there is no A/C which can make it uncomfortable if sleeping in 24 degrees is not your thing. Don’t try to get in early cause you are held to 3:30 sharp, but expect to be out early. We were asked to even take out our own trash before we left

Lovely Stay
We had a lovely stay here. Rental unit was spacious and clean. Host was warm and inviting and provides nice quality chairs and beach towels. Stayed early September and lack of AC caused no issues due to good airflow. But most importantly, the location was perfect. It was like almost having your own private beach. Couldn't have asked for a better stay.

Our host was friendly and very helpful. Not only made us feel welcome, but also gave us some great pointers about what to do on this side of the island. The setting was so different from the busyness of Honolulu…a refreshing change. Enjoyed the close proximity to the beach, the uncrowded, relaxed atmosphere. Had a great time!

Restricted air flow
The only issue to note is the restricted air flow in the backside / street side unit. It gets uncomfortably warm. There is a box fan, but it is wobbly (as they are) and requires a counter weight to keep from rattling. I left the box fan on, while I was out, to keep the unit from being hot upon my return. It was noisy enough that the owner needed to access the unit in my absence to turn off the fan due to the noise it was making. There are two units, one is indeed facing the beach with a window view of the ocean while the other unit is on the backside corner / street side. Due to the unit being on the backside corner of the large home the air does not cross through the unit. Just an FYI. Everything else was fine.
