Great location, outdated home
Good: -Incredible location with easy access to the center of Kailua Bay -Wonderful and welcoming neighbors -Shed stocked with beach supplies and a great bike -Well maintained landscaping and a lovely deck Bad: -Odor in the hallway and closets -Worn and stained linoleum flooring and carpeting throughout -Cheap or broken household amenities and furnishings -Very broken in and lumpy mattresses Generally my impression is that the interior of the home is not too well cared for. This would easily be a 5 star property with a relatively small investment into refinishing floors and countertops along with some higher end furnishings.

Mostly wonderful!
First, the positives: 1. Proximity to the beach — fabulous! 2. Having everything needed for the beach life, including masks and snorkels which we took to Hanauma bay 3. Actually added up to 2 bathrooms, in that there were 2 toilets, a sink outside the 2nd toilet room, and a shower outside. This means one set of people can use that setup and leave the full bath to the others 4. Nice lanai which is perfect for dinner and visiting after, cool breezes make it so comfortable Then the negatives: 1. I would advise all except those who are used to heat and humidity and function well in it — to not use this house in August or September, the hottest months in Hawaii. (Our group are all used to heat and humidity, but we all have central air conditioning.) Nights were fine without air conditioning for some of us, not others. When we returned in mid-afternoon, the air conditioner in the living room is more powerful than the bedroom ones, and after a while the temperature there is decent. But trying to use the bedrooms in the afternoon just didn’t work. A friend who lives in Kailua said his house is similar but always cool due to his having extended the eaves so the south-facing windows never have sun, also he put a “whirligig” in his attic/crawl space to remove the hot air there, and he has an enormous shade tree so the yard and most of the house is shaded. An alternative would be to get solar panels to power whole-house air conditioning. 2. The house is old, drawers and windows don’t close easily, some handles are loose, etc.

Great location, older house
Amazing quiet, street and neighbors. Short walk to an amazing beach and 2 minute drive to another incredible beach. House is well set up for children, has two wagons, boards, beach toys and umbrellas. Appreciated a beautiful flower display on welcome. Adorable lawn to play in. No dishwasher and you are asked to do your own dishes prior to leaving which was worrisome in terms of how clean the dishes were when we got the house. A house ceaner came midway through our stay but told us she was just helping a friend and didn't typically clean houses, had never been there and so didn't know where the sheets or anything were so was not super helpful and a little concerning with all of our stuff laying around the house.

Christmas Holiday
Nice location, next to a great beach. The waves were fantastic! My sons and I enjoyed the body surfing.

Highly recommended
For a perfect beach vacation this is really all you need, located a 2 minutes walk from the most gorgeous stretch of beach on Oahu and equipped with lots of fun stuff to enjoy the beach, body boards, snorkeling gear, you’ll even find some stuff for your baby or toddler. The house was spotless clean, the two bedrooms have air conditioning, the garden is beautiful. The communication with the property managers was also great, we would totally rent it again. Thanks for a beautiful vacation, Katrin, Wouter and baby Marlene

Wonderful house in a great location.
Walk to the beach or restaurants from a nice house with a shed full of bikes and beach toys. What more could one want?

Fantastic!
House had everything we needed...even boogie boards and snorkeling gear! The walk to the beach took only a couple of minutes and was beautiful! The BEST beach we visited on the island. We loved Kailua! Couldn’t have had a better experience!

Very misleading the second bathroom is a three by three room with a toilet.

Kalaheo Beach Cottage Gem!
This house was absolutely fantastic for a vacationing family of four! We used to live in Kailua and have an appreciation for how hard it is to keep a house near the beach clean and bright. The Kalaheo Beach Cottage was very welcoming, clean, well-supplied and nicely decorated with bright Hawaiian prints. We especially appreciated the beach proximity so that the kids could play at the beach while we prepared meals in the large kitchen. The available rec equipment was a great bonus so we didn't have to go rent everything. It was everything we needed to have a great vacation at a price comparable to a single hotel room. We'll be back!

We had the most delightful stay at this oh-so-sweet beach place
We had the most delightful stay at this wonderful Kailua cottage. We were just steps from the most beautiful beach in the world. The cottage was charming, comfortable, clean and well-equipped with everything our group of 4 needed for our 10-day stay. The kitchen had all the comforts of home, the beds and pillows were very comfortable and there were ample linens. There’s a deck with patio furniture to eat outside, and beach towels, beach/water toys, and bikes are provided, so we were well set for enjoying plenty of time on the beach or riding around the neighborhood. A great coffee place/deli is a beautiful walk down the beach, and restaurants and shopping are within walking distance. We just loved being there and would go back again to the Cottage in a heartbeat! Thank you again for the most wonderful time! I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed it. Wishing you and Pat the best! Candace Joy Canda and I stayed at Kailua beach cottage for 9 days in February. I simply did not want to leave this oh-so-sweet beach place! From the large, private outdoor shower (with hot water!) to the large old banyan tree and private back deck, this inviting home defines relaxed island comfort and charm. It is situated on a small, quiet street with easy parking right at the front door. Upon arrival, I literally dropped off my suitcase, threw on my bathing suit, and was in the water within an hour of leaving Honolulu airport. Only a short stroll to stunning Kailua beach, the cottage location offered both privacy and the quick beach access I wanted. Grab a coffee or tea and head to the beach to catch a sunrise. Sort through the assortment of water and outdoor “toys” and make for an active day. Fix breakfast in the large kitchen, or prepare a picnic and head back to the beach. There is plenty of space for fun indoor or outdoor gatherings, including a nicely-sized living room and dining area. Bedrooms have ample closet and drawer space, and ceiling fans to circulate that lusci
