Could not have asked for a better location! We typically begin our holidays in busier island areas then end somewhere more relaxed. This BnB worked great for us. The breakfasts made it possible for us to get our days started early. And the beach equipment was appreciated and in really good condition. Even without the tradewinds, we didn't need the a/c, fans kept us comfortable.

Lovely studio!
The location is incredible, just a short walk to beautiful Lanikai beach! There was a bit of confusion about which place we were staying in but once we were there it was clear. We were in a studio with twin beds and a small kitchenette. there was a nice sitting area for breakfast. Our lovely host Janice provided everything we needed for our beach outings and more food than we could eat! A big thank you to Janice!

Hidden nightmare
From the outside it is just like the pictures . The inside is a different matter . It’s is dirty outdated and cluttered . It’s also infested with bugs and mosquitoes. I received 9 bites within 24 hours , and I have an allergy to bites so I’m still dealing with the aftermath. The host is extremely slow to respond insists on communicating via email or landline phone which she never answers and takes 24 hours plus to respond . Also the stirs going to the studio are a death trap rocks and uneven edges that she waters at night and in the am it’s a slip and fall nightmare .We received a refund - however that does not begin to compensate for the bites , we checked out 3 days early and moved to a clean hotel.

A fabulous location - close to beach, golf courses, activities/adventures, restaurants and more. Our accommodations included a private hot tub on a deck with wonderful landscaping, sun and coastal breeze that created a wonderful ambiance. Janice, the B&B host provided an abundance of goodies and personalized treats. The kitchenette was well equipped and the bedroom and bathroom spacious and accurately described.

Beautiful spot
Perfect spot in Kailua. The pictures were a little misleading though. Made it seem like we were getting two separate rooms or two queen size beds but that was not the case. We got one room with two twin beds. My brother and I didn’t mind a bit though! They wrote sweet welcome cards and supplied us with pastries and fresh fruit! We walked to the beach every morning to see an amazing view! It was truly wonderful!

Quick trip
The pros…this property is in a great location to the beach. The owner is very sweet. This isn’t a true bed and breakfast, but it is a safe place to lay your head when you are in Hawaii, with privacy. The cons…the room is very outdated. It needs remodeled. It is like stepping into your great grandma’s house…not at all what i expected and was too expensive for what it was. If we were staying longer than two days, we would have moved to a different location. There are no restaurants, stores, or anything around, so if you stay here, make sure you rent a car. Overall, it did its job for what we needed.

Great location
Location is great. Manager onsite and very helpful. Laundry available. Covered parking a big plus. The only thing I can say is that the unit we stayed in (sunset suite) is very dated. Minor investments would go a long way. All bedding is old, carpet in unit which traps sand, mini refrigerator but has freezer. Bed is king size, but two twin mattresses put together, so substantial foam topper. Couldn’t feel the difference in two mattresses vs one, but made for a very soft mattress and with a bad back this wasn’t the greatest. The kitchen was equipped, but the instructions were to wash your dishes before you leave and the only sink is the bathroom, so kind of different. Overall good time had and can’t beat the beach! Easy to pack a lunch and cooler and walk 15 min to the beach. Also walking distance to pill box trail which leads to an amazing view. I like to get a morning run in and this is a great location to get 5-10 easy miles in in the morning. Great little store nearby that has amazing poke! One last thing, two small flights of stairs to get to unit so it you need ADA this won’t work.
