About this house rental
E komo mai to Hale Makai, our piece of island paradise in Kailua. Beachside and just three houses from Kailua Beach - you are going to love it here.
Lying alongside a fabulous three-mile stretch of protected beach, Kailua is a small town on the windward side of Oahu. Kailua Beach is routinely voted one of the best beaches in the world and, with no hotels in town, only local residents and visitors who rent vacation homes get to enjoy our island lifestyle. Your family will love this kama'aina (local) way to enjoy Hawaii.
Our three bedroom, two bath home has a king, queen and two twin beds (sleeps six), living room, well-appointed open kitchen, large enclosed lanai, and shaded patio with Weber gas grill and outdoor furniture. Our smoke-free home is furnished in island style to make your stay relaxing and enjoyable. You’ll feel right at home while you barbecue dinner on the patio, relax in the screened-in lanai, wander to and from the beach, watch movies or cable TV, or drift off to sleep on the comfortable beds. We also have free wireless internet access for your laptop computer so that you can stay connected! For your convenience, we provide an initial supply of paper and soap products.
And best of all is our location - just a short walk from Kailua Beach. You can pick up your cappuccino at the Kalapawai Market every morning and your shave ice (snow cone) at Island Snow every afternoon. Whether you rent windsurfers or kayaks or just use all the beach toys that come with the house - boogie boards, sand toys, beach chairs/mats/towels and cooler - walking to the beach makes the days seem long and leisurely and just right for that relaxing vacation you're looking for.
And when you get tired of beach activities, Kailua town, with its restaurants, shopping and entertainment is less than a mile away. Or, after just a short ride, you can swim with the dolphins at Sea Life Park, snorkel in Hanauma Bay, hike the stunning Ko’olau mountains, swim/surf the North Shore, browse the 'Swap Meet' at the Aloha Stadium, sample Honolulu’s nightlife, walk Waikiki Beach or get to the airport.
The house is located on a large lot with a separate, one-bedroom, one-bath detached cottage that is currently rented to our grown son and his dog. The dog will be kept indoors as much as possible during your stay so that you have full use of the backyard.
*Cleaning fee includes a mandatory mid-month cleaning as well as cleaning after the rental.
Please note: This property may not be rented for less than 30 consecutive days. Rental prices cannot be reduced or adjusted based on the number of days the rental is actually used or occupied. If you stay for less than 30 days, the house will not be rented for the remainder of the month. Also, if your first dates don't show availability, try shifting them by a few days one way or the other. Since we don't always rent from the first of the month, sometimes rentals will be available a few days either way of your dates.

Our family had a very good time at this property. Lisa answered all of our questions and her son Adam and the property manager Debra were also nice and helpful. We have stayed many times in Kailua and this location was the best! The kitchen was well stocked. They had everything that we needed. The beds were comfortable. Just a great vacation all around.

We enjoyed our stay. The location is wonderful; just a short walk to the beach. Kailua beach is absolutely lovely for beach walks, sunning, or just relaxing. The home is very spacious. We used the covered patio in back for dinner as well as working. It has a ceiling fan that feels great and helps keep the flies away while dining. The backyard is large and well kept. The owners son, Adam and his dog Finn, were pleasant to have around. Finn is super friendly with kids and adults. The home is old. The 2nd bathroom has been updated but the master has not been. The home is clean but could use updating of the master bath. There is very little room around the sink. There is a small glass ledge on the wall for items, but I needed to put my toiletries on the dresser right outside of the bathroom. We had no issues with spiders but we did have small lizards on occasion in the house which didn't bother us but can take you by surprise!The washer and dryer was nice to have but both were very old. We had no issues with either. The kitchen is well outfitted with nearly everything you need. The sink plumbing is old so food items the need disposing of need to go in the trash rather than the garbage disposal. Hawaii is famous for tiny bugs on kitchen counters so you need to keep counters free of any open food. The beds were comfortable and have ceiling fans in 2 out of 3 bedrooms was nice. The third bedroom could use one too. We had a very relaxing vacation st this property.

Our family of five had a perfect Christmas at Hale Makai. Kailua is our happy place, and this property put us exactly where we wanted to be. Our routine was simple - coffee on the Lanai, walk on the beach, breakfast on the Lanai, back to the beach, etc.We have stayed in quite a few VRBOs, this was one of the best. The kitchen had everything we needed, the laundry was great, plenty of towels for both the house and the beach, beach chairs, boogie boards, snorkel gear. Plenty of cards and games (look in the wicker chest) for the evenings. The house was large enough for people to spread out, with plenty of seating in the common areas to bring people together.The louvered windows made it easy to keep the tradewinds moving through the house, we only ran the A/C on a couple humid nights. There is a door between the bedrooms and living room so making coffee doesn't wake everyone.The house was quieter than we expected for being on a busy road, especially the back yard. Both the owner and on-island property manager were responsive and easy to work with. Check-in and check-out were a breeze.Overall a fantastic experience, we hope to stay here again.
