SUPERB QUALITY ACCOMMODATION IN KAILUA SO CLOSE TO THE BEACH
We were able to arrange an early check in with the owner Jennifer which was so appreciated by us after an all night flight.
This is a wonderfully thought out Studio from the gorgeous windows and skylights which truly fill the interior with light, the furnishings, the beautiful slate floor and the amazing wet room which can be accessed off the lanai or internally.
It is very spacious accommodation for 2 people.
Jennifer was onsite if needed, on our first day I noticed that the fridge was on but it just wasnt cold, we tried turning it off and rebooting it but still no cold factor, after speaking with Jennifer she had a brand new full size fridge installed that same day - now that is an owner who immediately deals with any problem that occurs.
There were a lot of extras that we havent had supplied in other accommodations - like full size quality soap for the shower, enough toilet paper for the stay, paper towels, tissues - those little things that you usually have to go and buy the first day.
For us it was wonderful to have a kettle for the gas stove top as we are both tea drinkers, heating water in the microwave is just not the same.
Another very handy inclusion are the full size washer and dryer outside the bathroom which make it easy to freshen up towels and do your own washing, washing liquid is also supplied.
It is literally 3 mins to the beach, walk out to the road and just head straight to the beach access at the road T junction, we enjoyed this access morning and night.
For access to Honolulu there is the bus - the 56 runs along Oneawa St about a 15 min walk or you can walk into Kailua for the 57 bus - about a 25 min walk. If you want to do a lot of getting around then hire a car as the 25 min walk into then back out of Kailua a couple of times a day can get tiring. Enterprise car hire is based right in Kailua and we have found them very good to deal with when staying at Kailua and have rented cars for short periods.
We were lucky enough during our stay to strike the 4th July Parade that traversed the bottom of the street as well as the fireworks that night on the beach.
A great place for lunch or Dinner is Buzz's - if you walk down to the beach rd and follow it back towards Kailua for about 25 mins you will cross the canal and arrive at Buzz's - great for food and cocktails but best to book, the walk back is equally pleasant.
We highly recommend this accommodation and we thank Jennifer for her wonderful assistance.
