The house was just what we needed as we took our adult children and their spouses. It is just steps away from the beach, and in a quieter part of Hawaii. The house has everything you would need.

We had 10 family members to celebrate a graduation on the island and could not have been more pleased with the space, privacy of the five bedrooms giving everyone their own space and vast amount of beautiful get-together spaces. Gourmet kitchen was fully stocked for amazing family dinners every night, easily saved us $300 each meal. Interior design and finishes very high end, luxury hotel quality. Staff was available 24/7 for anything but frankly nothing needed. Abundant beach towels and beach chairs and toys all the including boogie boards, surf boards, floatation toys, sunscreen bug spray, aloe-- nothing was left out for a luxurious, comfortable stay right on the shores of Kailua beach. Best memory, falling to sleep and waking to the sight and sounds of the gentle waves just a few yards away!

Our family of 13 including 3 generations ranging from 6 to 70 had such a wonderful week here in Kailua. The location is perfect! The beach is just out from the backyard with easy access. The home was equipped with everything we needed for the kitchen and plenty of beach chairs, toys and snorkeling gear for fun at the beach. The home is spacious with comfortable gathering areas and generous size bedrooms. We would definitely stay again!

This classic home has such a well thought-out floor plan. Each of the five well-furnished bedrooms has an ensuite bathroom. The guest bedroom on the second floor was a personal favorite: opening the balcony door and the windows brought in the fresh sea breeze. The well-provisioned kitchen has a layout that made food preparation efficient. The home is conveniently located and is a few minutes' drive to restaurants, Foodland, Whole Foods, and Safeway for any items that might have been missed. There are many places within the property that guests may choose to be in a group or be by themselves. The home truly provides a wonderful way to experience Kailua.

My family and I had such an amazing time together at this beautiful beach home. From checking in the first day to checking out everything was great. Management was very professional, helpful and nice. We felt so welcomed when first arriving with a very sweet welcome basket with amazing snacks and yummy local fruit! The layout of the home and rooms worked perfectly for our family where everyone had their own private and bathroom. The home was very clean when we arrived. One of the great perks of this home is that each room has an air conditioner which is very rare in a beach home! The home is literally steps from the beach where we would take long walks often to throughout the day! The dining table was perfect which allowed us as a large family to spend many meals together eating, laughing and just enjoying each others company. The home is is also very kid friendly and since we went around the holidays we were pleasantly surprised with a gorgeous Christmas tree in the living room which made the home even more homier and festive! We highly recommend this home and will definitely look forward to hopefully come back!

The photos of the property are great, The actual property is super fantastic. Enough room for families of all age groups and sizes to spread out and relax. Well appointed in every aspect. Beach toys, beach equipment and beach towels all provided!
I cannot say enough. We came to bring my fathers ashes back to Hawaii and to revisit where our children were born and we lived for almost 15 years. It was wonderful seeing my children frolick in the surf with their children. The little ones enjoyed the sand and shoreline as well. I was totally pleased with our stay.

Well suited for a large group looking to relax and enjoy all the beach has to offer. Killer sunrises on a clean, wide beach with very few beach goers on the weekday, and minimal on the weekends. Easy drive to Honolulu, but found Kailua and Kaneohe had everything we needed for convenience and dining out. One bedroom’s wall AC wasn’t cooling, so property manager had a in-room R2D2 style AC placed, which was a little loud and cooled less well, but a was good substitute in a pinch. Also, be aware of loose high riding tiles on the patio, and a sneaky low lying root/stump on path to the beach… tripped us up a couple of times, could be hazardous for elderly or imbibers. Would definitely rent again. A winner.

Even tho the house is far from downtown Wikiki but the house provide one of the most equip kitchen I have ever seen from a grain of salt right down to a rice cooker! With a bonus bartending area with fully equip cocktails equipment to an ice maker machine, with all said and done it is a must visit and stay place in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Our family of 7 adults and 7 children spent a week at this home in July 2022. It was pretty close to perfect for our group. If is about 100 yards from a lovely and uncrowded white sand beach. At least at this time of year, the water is warm and the waves are gentle, which was perfect for the children in our group. The house is well-equipped with beach gear, and the views (especially from the upstairs bedrooms) are remarkable. We liked that location. It's close to Honolulu, Pearl Harbor, etc. And drive up to Laie (less than an hour) and go the Polynesian Cultural Center, which was a real highlight. That's enough. We had a marvelous time. We hope to come back again some day.

We thoroughly enjoyed our family stay at Place in Paradise, in Kailua. The house is beautiful. Well equipped with comfortable furnishing, great kitchen with plenty of dishes and cooking utensiles, nice outdoor grill and furniture. A good variety of equipment for playing on the beach and in the water. We did not used the tennis court or pool, but they looked nice. The beach is about 75 steps from the back fence. The property manager was great in communicating and responding to our needs. Room garage for two cars, and well as parking for two cars in driveway. I highly recommend this property for a great stay on Oahu!

Our multigeneration family of 11 experienced the vacation of a lifetime at this perfect beach front rental. The house accommodated our large group wonderfully, with everyone having a private space and plenty of bathrooms. We could have a family meal at the same table and all sit together while enjoying the most beautiful view of the beach. Sun rises were stunning! We stepped out the door to the spectacular beach that was never crowded. Our grandkids enjoyed using the boogie boards provided and the adults also took advantage of the snorkeling equipment. The beach was safe for even the youngest in the family and we enjoyed it each and every day. You can't beat the location, as it was quiet, yet convenient to get to almost anywhere on the island. Steven was very responsive to any question or need that we had, from the time we booked the house, to the time we left. Great family memories were made at this special Place in Paradise!

Stunning! This property is incredible… it went beyond our expectations, was spacious inside and out and is very well kept. The view and location are without peer and Kailua Beach is the best beach on the Island. Access to the beach was mere steps away, but the architecture & landscape still afforded privacy without blocking views or giving the feeling of being enclosed within a compound. The neighborhood is quiet and the neighbors were very friendly. The list of accessories and quantities provided are too numerous to list (beach chairs, beach towels, boogie boards, umbrellas, kitchen utensils, ice maker, two refrigerators, 2 sets of washers & dryers, etc., etc…). If it wasn’t available, we didn’t need it. The property management team (Steven, Kim, Patty) were great to work with and were quick with responses to our questions. The team is very attentive to every detail… We were even greeted with a basket of food & wine upon our arrival. Our family of 9 stayed for 10 days and we are already plotting our return. This is a Place in Paradise.

Here is why we loved it:- Pool and tennis courts were a quick two min walk from the house; kids loved it- House was well stocked with towels, kitchen supplies, and games/children’s books by (spices were a little limited but kitchen had everything else you’d need)- Second fridge in the garage, Vitamix and industrial ice maker made for fun tropical drinks - Two sets of washer/dryers- House was right on a perfect beach for sand castles, walking, swimming, surfing, boogie boarding- We saw whales from the beach- Garage came FULLY stocked with beach chairs, some snorkeling equipment, two fishing poles, tons of kids beach toys, tennis rackets, coolers, life jackets, beach umbrellas- We enjoyed making dinner on the grill and eating on the patio- The street the house was on, was for residents only; this allowed our kiddos to bike and walk safely- House was super close to cute Kailua town (Whole Foods, target, Safeway, and lots of local restaurants)- Bike path to beaches was just a block up from the house- Beds were super comfy; good quality pillows and sheets- Proximity to hiking, Waikiki, lainkai, waimnolo was easyAll said, we’d definitely stay here again. It was incredible and the thoughtfulness of the house and hosts (Ie we arrived to tropical music in the house and a gorgeous welcome basket full of local treats) far exceeded expectations.

We stayed in early February with an extended family group of 7 adults and 2 small children. This house is truly wonderful, as the other reviews state. The beach is literally your backyard, but there is still privacy and so many places to relax and enjoy the scenery. Kailua beach is not as crowded as other great beaches on Oahu especially on weekdays, and we spent a great deal of time there. The house comes with an amazing array of items that contribute to a wonderful vacation. There is an extra refrigerator in the garage, we used it for drinks, and in the dining room there is a bar with an ice-maker (much appreciated). The kitchen is extraordinarily well-equipped. Due to COVID we cooked most of our meals there and even did some baking--everything we needed was there. And the glasses, dishes and silverware were sufficient for all of us including a separate set that was plastic for outdoors. The only item we lacked was reusable shopping bags--that would be a nice addition. There are so many beach toys for children and adults, all much appreciated. We rented a collapsable canvas wagon and that was very helpful to haul things back and forth to the beach. There was a PaknPlay for our toddler (we rented one so it would have been nice to know it was there). The outdoor table that seats 14 was perfect for COVID spacing, we ate most of our meals there. The beds were all very comfortable. Some of the BR AC units were a little noisy, but we hardly used them, and didn't need them for sleeping with the cool nights in February. Finally, the Private Homes Hawaii people were all great--responsive and attentive. All in all a wonderful vacation, we will definitely be back.

This is a fabulous beachfront home for the whole family. We stayed with a group of 12 ranging in ages from 8-71 years. It is on a quiet beachfront area that is frequented mostly by locals, so it was very family friendly and good area of the beach for playing in the waves, boogie boarding, paddle boarding and learning to surf. The home is clean, nicely kept and kitchen is well stocked. A lovely stocked gift basket was there at our arrival. Beds were comfortable and linens were nice quality. We got lots of enjoyment from the body boards and beach chairs that are provided. For a group our size the 2 sets of washer/dryers were very helpful. The management company was very responsive and good about notifying us about things. The home had WIFI, but it was not good. We all ended up turning off WIFI and using data. There were plenty of restaurant and shopping options within a 10 min drive and it was only 30 mins to Honolulu, the airport, and 45 mins - hour from North Shore, Polynesian Cultural Center and Haleiwa. This home is on the windward side and can often be pretty breezy, but this side of the island is also more green and lush. The only major drawback was that we visited during a very rainy spell and the home's location is in the bay area, which traps in the run off from the city making the water very brown, polluted and unsuitable for use, which affected use for days. We could still enjoy walking/playing on the beach, but couldn't get in the water. Overall, we would definitely stay at this "place in paradise" again and are so thankful for the memories it gave us.

The house was beautiful, the area is fantastic. We spend many mornings on the beach and body surfing. The house is well equipped for just about everything you could need. The 2 sets of washer/dryers were a pleasant surprise.

Awesome house with all the amenities and in the perfect location. Very quiet neighborhood with NO traffic. Plenty of toys, chairs, etc for the ocean, you do not need to bring anything except for yourself/family. The layout of the house is perfect with the two master suites on the second floor. Within minutes of everything you need.

Great house, great location, don't hesitate to stay here. Steven, the manager, is attentive and responsive and the house was clean, well stocked and large enough to fit three families without feeling cramped at all. And just steps to the beach!

We all loved our stay at this wonderful beach house in Kailua. Location was outstanding- right on the beach. We watched the sun come up every morning from our bed. Everything we needed was here for the beach- boogie boards, beach chairs, fishing poles, plenty of beach towels, sand toys. Also lots of places to hang out outside and eat. Kitchen was well equipped, lots of cooking gear and serving platters, oils and good spices, 2 ovens, rice cooker and waffle maker. We even made a prime rib dinner while we were there, cooked breakfast almost every day. We had an issue with the air conditioner in the smaller master and they came in the next day and installed a new one while we were out. Amazing customer service. Another perk was that there were 2 washer snd dryers and lots of laundry detergent and dryer sheets as well as good bath products. We would stay here in a heartbeat if the place is available. We always stay in Kailua when we come to Oahu and have stayed at many places and this was by far one of the nicest. Great attention to details! Wonderful place.

Our entire family loved this home. The location and beach access were truly amazing. Being able to literally walk out your door right onto the sand and onto your mostly private beach is truly what a vacation should be.The home itself was spotless clean and any possible need was provided for from kitchen and cooking supplies to beach and water games and necessities. Out family of 12 never felt cramped or "too close" at any time. There are multiple areas to either congregate or separate into groups at your choosing.Our family looks forward to a return trip one day.

Place in Paradise was perfect for us. The ocean views are spectaular and the beach is practically at your door. It was nice not to load the car with beach gear and drive somewhere. There was an abundance of beach toys and equipment. The house is very well appointed with upscale furniture and accessories and linens. The Kitchen is fully equipped with everything needed for cooking and serving.

We stayed at Place in Paradise over July 4th Week for a Family reunion. Could not have picked a better location !. Have stayed at many VRBOs in Kailua and this is one of the best. The house was large enough so that 12 people were very comfortable. Could walk right out the door to Kailua Beach . There is a community pool with tennis courts just a short stroll from the house, but who needs a pool when you have Kailua Beach at your doorstep. The house was well equipped with boogie boards, beach toys for kids, beach chairs. Located on a quite cut de sac so never was crowded. The kitchen had 2 rice cookers (definitely a plus for my family). Could not have picked a better location. My 16 year old son caught several fish right next to the house, 2 Oio (bonefish) and 2 papio (juvenile jack) . Walking distance to "Nicks" with some great poke...grocery store less than a mile Away. Amazing stay can't wait to come back

We selected Place in Paradise for our family of ten adults. We gathered in Hawaii from across the country to reconnect and spend quality time together. We were looking for a beachfront home with multiple gathering spaces, a large kitchen and dining room, and en-suite bathrooms for each bedroom. Place in Paradise was perfect for us! We appreciated the responsive team at Private Homes Hawaii from the time we booked a year in advance, to the communication and information provided before and during our stay. Steven and Mitchell met us at the house for check in and familiarized us with the features and details of the home. They also presented us with the most delicious dessert to share - a specialty not to be missed! The house is beautifully appointed and filled with light. It provided plenty of storage for all of our luggage and groceries, and had thoughtful touches throughout. We appreciated the large selection of beach equipment, including umbrellas, beach mats, boogie boards and sand toys, as well as the outdoor shower. The kitchen was well outfitted for anything you might wish to cook. The ice machine and Vitamix were essential for so many delicious tropical smoothies, acai bowls, and frozen drinks. We cooked most of our meals together, and appreciated the close proximity to Foodland and Whole Foods. Some of the best shave ice on the island is also nearby at Island Snow in Kailua Town. We also stocked up on local produce at the farmer's market! The beds were so comfortable with super-soft linens and lots of down pillows. Each bedroom has A/C, which we used at night. During the day, the tradewinds kept the house comfortable as we opened the windows and doors to the absolutely breathtaking views of Kailua Beach and the hypnotic sound of the surf. The beach is literally steps away from the back door and we spent a lot of time there. From sunrise walks, to boogie boarding marathon sessions, to dinner as the sun set, we soaked it in! We loved it!

We were celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary with family and found the house to be exactly as pictured on the website. Great location with direct beach access and plenty of room for nine people. Kitchen cabinets could use a refresh, but didn't distract from overall condition and functionality of the house. Staff was available and responsive throughout the rental process. If you need space for multiple guests and enjoy being a few steps from a great beach, this is the house for you.
