La Bella’s Bed & Breakfast-Honu (Turtle) Suite-Walk to beach-In Kailua (O’ahu)

Wonderful stay, fantastic breakfast, and Gabe and Shannon were awesome!

Hubby and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary on Oahu and were very fortunate to have stayed in La Bella’s Honu (Turtle) Suite! The Honu Suite was cozily put together with a lot of care and thought to make the stay relaxing. All of the basic needs in the bathroom, kitchen area, and sleeping space were provided. Suite was very clean and smelled fresh! I loved the left and right windows of the front door that can be opened up for the fresh Hawaiian air to fill the room. The Honu Suite’s cranking casement and awning windows are definitely a nice touch. The bed was comfortable along with quality bedding, fell asleep fairly quick after being out and about on the beautiful island of Oahu. Breakfast was always fresh and fulfilling! In spite of Mokapu Road being a busy stretch, the location is quiet. The Honu Suite spot is minutes from the base which, as a retired military family, is very helpful for grocery needs as well as recreational assistance. Castle’s beach is a nice short walk or bike ride from the suite. Shopping center right across the bed and breakfast is very convenient. I did enjoy the chickens that comfortably roam on the grass area and trees near Starbucks.The hosts, Shannon & Gabriel, are very welcoming and provided exceptional attention to our needs. Very friendly! Communication was on point. They were attentive to our questions and provided great local recommendations as well as tips to help our stay more enjoyable and worthwhile.

I checked in late after arriving into HNL at 7:30pm HST. Immediately felt comfortable - gated property, private entrance, obviously remodeled with new kitchen appliances, beatiful full bathroom w zero-entry shower (no basin or lip to step over). Fab breakfast in the am. Super comfy bed. Kitchen has just what you need. Easy to reheat leftovers; plenty of counter space for food, etc. Lovely spot outdoors for relaxing - loveseat and coffee table - fell asleep out there one evening! Great location near Nico's in Kailua with everything needed in shopping center across street and quick 5-10 min drive to center of Kailua. Short walk to beach; Kailua is probably one of the most beautiful beaches on O'ahu. LOVE the hosts - such aloha and malama (care) for their guests. Would absolutely recommend to anyone who wants a premier location in Kailua, lovely accomodations, with privacy and much aloha from hosts! Great job LaBellas!!!

Terrific location. The beach supplies and towels were great to have. Gabriel was such a wonderful host. We enjoyed the delicious breakfasts and nice outside area.Unfortunately, there was a plumbing issue while we were there (previous guest’s kid had put toy down toilet). While it was disruptive to our stay, they did get a Plummer and cleaned up after the work, which we appreciated. We would definitely stay there again! Loved our visit!
