Cozy villa with amazing location

I enjoyed a week in Kailua and loved staying in the Sunshine Suite. It was so cozy with a beautiful garden and pool with a hot tub! The hospitality was wonderful and Steve helped with any questions we had about how to turn on the hot tub. So close to the beach— no need to drive— just walk down the lane, cross the street and there you are! Amazing location!

A Decent Stay Overall

I'm struggling to review this property. The listing is accurate, and the owners are honest in regards to the pros and cons. Both were responsive to texts and VRBO messages. The room, though small, was adequate. The main reason I deduct a star was due to how hot the room was. It was humid in Hawaii and, thus, difficult to keep the apartment cool even with the A/C unit and both fans on high. The worst part is that I was jet lagged the first day and sick (weak stomach), and the heat made that situation worse. The location was convenient for us as we wanted to be near the wedding party we travelled with. It was very close to really pretty beaches and enough food options to enjoy a variety. It was also way less crowded than the Honolulu side which was a blessing when driving. Considering rental options are slim on that side of the island, I understand the high nightly price. Still, it's difficult to give rave reviews when I've stayed in immaculate 3BR beachfront condos with full kitchens, multiple swimming pools, and various amenities for the same price, even less, in Florida. You really do not get enough bang for your buck here. Because of this, I cannot give 5 stars, BUT it is still an accurate listing for this rental, and the beaches nearby are gorgeous! The property owners were kind and helpful, as well. The beach supplies were also a very nice touch, and so were the toiletries they provided. As long as you know what to expect, you will not be disappointed!

Stay in windward side of Oahu

It was a challenged finding accommodations in Kailua area or nearby city in windward side of Oahu. But I am very glad to have found this hidden oasis. For a couple, the Sunrise suite is perfect, no kitchen or stove but has microwave and fridge which is enough for us. We loved walking across the street to Kailua beach park watching sunrise and swimming in the morning. Lanikai beach is also walking distance from this property for a more calmer waves, parking might be a challenge to find. The pool is available to use at this property, has beach chairs. Short drive to town’s Target and other shops. Can also hike to nearby Lanikai Pillbox. Overall experience was pleasant and wonderful. Property manager Zack, were helpful giving detailed instructions and directions, and owner Steve were also pleasant to speak with.

Kailua Rental

We loved our time at the Kailua rental. The apartment is right across the road from Kailua Beach and a short drive to Lanikai Beach. The snorkeling at Lanikai is excellent. We also swam at Kailua most days. The rental has all the beach amenities you could need. Also,Buzzes restaurant is a short walk as well as a local store and delicious shaved ice.

We'll be back! An amazing stay!

We had an absolutely amazing stay at the Sunshine Suite in Kailua! The unit was perfectly located, just steps away from the beach, which made it incredibly convenient to enjoy the beautiful shoreline every day. The suite itself was fantastic—clean, comfortable, and equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. The kitchen area was especially handy, featuring a big mini fridge, microwave, and all the dishes and accompaniments we could have asked for. The small extras provided here and there made everything so convenient and added to the overall comfort of our stay. Steve was a wonderful host, offering great tips each morning as we headed out for the day. His recommendations really helped us make the most of our time in Kailua. Parking was a breeze, as there was always space available for our rented car, which made exploring the area so much easier. After a long, hot day of adventures, the onsite pool was the perfect spot to cool down and unwind. We highly recommend the Sunshine Suite for anyone looking to stay in Kailua. We were thrilled with our 10-night stay and would love to return in the future!

Kailua vacation

Perfect location, took approx 2 minutes to walk to Kailua beach, also walking distance to Lanikai beach. Beautiful pool, didn’t use though because the beach was so convenient! Nice washer and dryer for guests to use, kind host, parking was a bit rough with a bigger truck but would’ve been fine with a smaller car. Would stay here over and over again, Mahalo!

Nice location

The place is just about exactly what we expected Pros: - sweet property manager, Susie - comfortable living space - safe area - safe parking for vehicle - Kailua beach was very nice - Good proximity to activities we wanted to do Criticisms: - Buzz’s restaurant was OK, but nice ambience. - we looked forward to riding the bikes around but there was only one working - As other reviews stated, there is no standard kitchen in this unit which turned out to be ok for me, but someone else might care more about that.

Best Stay in Hawaii We've Ever Had!

We lived in Hawaii for 13 years and have returned more times than we can keep track of since we had to leave almost 20 years ago... this was the best visit back we've had. Location was PERFECT - across the street from beach. The place was a tropical oasis, beautiful pool, the room with rich and beautiful appointments (paintings, statues). Everything was highest quality and everything was thought out. Staying with Steve and Suzie was like staying with family for the week we were there. (I almost don't want to say too much for fear that we won't be able to book the site again when we want to return because it will be too busy!) Highest recommendations from two folks for whom Hawaii will always be home!

Here's to 21yrs

Accommodations were cute and comfortable. The location was SPECTACULAR (1 min walk across the street to the beach). Beautiful sunrise and beach. The street sign locating the property was difficult to see in the evening, I would recommend adding another with an arrow. I think the neighbors up front may appreciate as well.

Worth every penny!

My wife and I used to live on Oahu and had low expectations for cleanliness of the Vrbo and mostly cared about the location. Well we were SO pleasantly surprised by how incredibly clean the room was and it was very spacious. The bed was soft and comfortable and there were plenty of extra blankets if needed. We sleot comfortably at night with the fans and AC unit, and the hosts left us plenty of towels for our week’s stay. There are also beach chairs that we used all week. We loved being so close to Kalapawai market and Kailua beach. Also— this is BIG for Hawaii, we did not see one cockroach ! 10/10 for cleanliness. We would love to stay here again!

Location, location, location

Cute unit literally across the street from one of the best beaches in all of Hawaii. (Bed is very soft, which is good for some & bad for others). Unit is small but well equipped unless you intend to do major cooking. Has AC but in Nov., the lovely winds were more enjoyable way to cool off. Pool is wonderful; clean, well lit and great size for times you want a dip or something different than ocean. Plenty of grocery stores and restaurants within 5-10 min drive. Nice off street parking. Nice owners! We definitely recommend this unit.
