Best BnB we've ever stayed in!
We spent two month's in this rental while working in Hawaii. The space is open, bright, breezy, and has AC for hotter days (we barely used it!). Our host Barbara was very attentive to our needs and made sure we had everything we needed. The separate one bedroom unit with a private bath and kitchinette was perfect for when we had family visit us. The short walk to the beach (about 6-7 minutes) made it easy for us to go daily. This part of the beach is more natural and has way fewer visitors. Some days we were the only ones on the beach. We highly recommend this rental to anyone looking for a peaceful "ohana" home.

Best we've ever stayed in!
We have had an exceptional time at Barbara's guesthouse. The setup was perfect for our family - the extra studio added the privacy and convenience when our family came to visit us. This unit had its own entrance but could still be accessed from an inside hallway. The main unit has a beautifully redone kitchen and spacious living area. There is great airflow, wonderful breezes and great AC in both units and the wifi is very strong. We were very comfortable here. But the best part is the host who made us feel so at home. She was always sure to see if we needed anything to make our stay exactly what we needed. We can't wait to go back!

Perfect beach rental
Barbara is a delightful and thoughtful host, providing privacy but periodically inquiring about our needs. The guest unit is clean, comfortable, efficient and convenient to a sparsely populated beach a block away. We found it an ideal rental.

Great Family Stay
Barb was a great host and this rental was in a fantastic location. Our family of 4 had a blast and are looking forward to staying here again.

Great house close to the most beautiful sunrises at Kailua beach
We spent 2 weeks at this guesthouse that exceeded our expectations. We were able to walk to the beach each morining for the sunrise that never disappointed us. The house was very comfortable with AC, a full kitchen, nice showers one inside and the other outside, a washer and dryer and a comfortable bed. Barbara was a great host always ammenable to our needs. There were boogie boards available for us to use daily. We had a parking spot and were able to walk into Kailua town. There was also a table and chairs to sit outside. I would highly recommend this guesthouse for a stay in Kailua and hope that I have an opportunity to stay there again.

Wonderful lodging!
My wife had a wonderful month-long stay at the Hiilani Guesthouse. The accommodations were immaculate, spacious, quiet, and private. The little "extras" such as the in-unit washer and dryer and the full kitchen add to the positives for this property. Hiilani Guesthouse is ideally situated as it is just a few minutes from Kailua town and from the Pali and Likelike Highways and the H-3 freeway that go to Honolulu, Waikiki, the airport, and the "other side" of Oahu. Barbara is a gracious, hospitable hostess who is extremely considerate of her guests. This is a definite "stay again" property when my wife and I return to Oahu!

Excellent place to call home
Barbara was an exceptional host. We had everything we needed and she was very helpful. The location is perfect, walkable to The Best beach, and the unit itself is very quiet and private. We loved the AC in the humid month of August. Highly recommend and hope to stay again.

Just Right
We just spent a month here at Barb's place. It was very comfy and we had company over a number of nights and had no problems. We had 5 total for dinner a couple of times and it went well. We choose this place because of location, kitchen and space. Barb is the best host! Do not rent a big car as it is a tight parking spot here and everywhere else on the island. We would rent here again.

Air Conditioned Hideaway
Barbara C. was a B&B host before anyone was online and her experience shows in the details large and small. The space was constructed to separate the bedroom from the living room by an innovative glass sliding door. Attached to the main bedroom is a second bedroom, which might have been a closet but was lit by a window. The apartment is filled with little notes from Barbara, undoubtedly the product of experience, and handy touches, such as power strips always within reach. The unit has its own solar hot water tank. Showers at night were hot and can be easily adjusted to be plentiful. The air conditioning was cool. The washer-dryer is inside the apartment. When her place became unexpectedly available, we enjoyed a great value and enjoyed our short walks to the beach.

Wonderful Experience
We were treated like old friends our entire stay. We truly had a great experience. The home fit our needs perfectly, and being two blocks from the beach made life super easy for our water bug toddler. Highly recommend!

Very inadequate Air Conditioning disappointed after selecting this property that billed as "Air Conditioned" with a window insert air conditioner, one ceiling fan and 5 fans. Should have advertised as fan cooled with small air conditioner. It took more than Half an hour to cool the unit. Unit was not equipped with an exhaust fan above the stove, large roach in the bathroom. Geckos were found in the unit. Parking was difficult you had to back 40-50 yards down the drive way as there was not enough room to turn the car around. No weather strip under door, where insects and hot air was entering the unit. Not a very well maintained unit for the price within refund. We were greeted by a very nice guy that had very little information, he was house sitting for the host. I see why there is "No Refund or Cancellation Policy". Deceiving and false information.

Wonderful Place
We had a wonderful stay. I highly recommend staying here. Plenty of fans and the a/c was a plus. It’s nice, quiet, very clean and everything you need to make your own meals. I loved having a washer and dryer. We went to the beach several times and used the beach umbrellas. Thank you so much Barbra for allowing up to stay and for being so friendly and helpful.
May 2019 What a nice winter vacation.
We had the most wonderful stay at Auntie Barbara's Vacation rental. The Hiilani apartment was spacious enough for the 5 of us and with a furnished kitchen, tv, washing machine ect. The WiFi was working ok but not in all corners of the apartment. For us living next door to Barbara was very helpful. Coming from overseas she was a very helpful tour guide for us. The Kailua area was nice and the apartment is within walking distance from the beach.
October 2017Great place for our family!
We needed a place for myself, my husband, our 2 year old, and my in-laws, in Kailua. Auntie Barbara's 2 bedroom apartment turned out to be just right for our family's needs. Barbara was always very understanding and helpful. We look forward to coming back someday!
October 2017Perfect Vacation in Kailua!
We had a memorable time in Kailua. The accommodations were perfect for three adults. Just a short walk to Kailua Beach and convenient to restaurants and grocery stores. We would definitely be back.
October 2017A home away from home
Had a fantastic stay at "the Hideaway". It is exactly what it's title says - Sweet and Hidden away. It is only a block back from one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, and yet doesn't have that touristy feel that Waikiki has. There is a vast array of good shopping a 5 minute drive away, and a huge barbeque for the guests use. We felt completely secure due to the coded entry onto the property, and Maribeth was always available if we needed anything, and let us use the beach equipment. The cooktop has two burners, but is ample for producing good evening meals, and the fridge is stocked on arrival for the next morning's breakfast. Kailua is wonderful and most places on Oahu are only an hour away by road. I would go back and stay at M&M's in a heartbeat
October 2017Great place!!!
We loved the Hiilani apartment very much! It was very clean and had more than enough space for the 3 of us. The cupboards were stocked with the basic necessities. Very comfortable and clean. We fell in love with Barbara she was so kind and helpful. We hope to come back again next summer.
October 2017Great location and accommodations for family
The Hiilani apartment/guest house was a comfortable space for us (2 adults and 2 teenagers). Fully stocked kitchen with staples was a big benefit. Being able to walk to a nice beach in 5 minutes was wonderful. We appreciated the available boogie boards as well as snorkels and masks. Kailua was a good location away from the crowds, but still easy to get over to Pearl Harbor and other places on the island. Barbara was a lovely host.
