Beautiful apartment set in a beautiful garden. I felt completely at home and I walked to the beach several times a day. I really enjoyed my stay and will be going back. The owners were very gracious and made every part of my stay seamless.

We had a lovely stay in this beautiful, private and serene setting right by the beach.
Cheri and Scott made us feel very welcome, everything we thought we might need was already there.
Highly recommended.

Scott and Cheri are excellent hosts who have created a lovely, quiet, comfortable, tropical oasis which includes many thoughtful extras. Check-in was a breeze, and the owners live on the property and are readily available for any questions or assistance. We stayed for a month and are hoping to return soon, loved this place. Even on rainy days, the large windows allow you to enjoy the lush landscaping, tropical air, and beautiful furnishings, and to watch the many birds that come to visit and bathe in the birdbath. Right by the beach and many conveniences, yet completely quiet and private. Inside and out, this is a beautiful property in a location that’s hard to beat.

This property is a dream. The pictures are completely representitive of Cheri and Scott's beautiful home. The indoor and outdoor space is perfectly curated, private, and a wonderful home base for a relaxing Oahu vacation. The hosts strike a perfect balance of being generous and friendly and giving you space to feel like you have your own private piece of Hawaii. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

This property was located in a fantastic area. While the bungalow was small it was comfortable and clean and filled with all the amenities you would need. I would highly recommend staying here as long as you don't mind staying in close quarters with your partner.

It is a magic spot in Kailua. Even with wind and rain, it is protected and with the umbrella, it still easy to enjoy the out of doors. Cheri and Scott are perfect hosts. They ensure that we have what we need to have a great stay.

This was the perfect bungalow in an ideal location with the most generous hosts we have encountered. They welcomed us early and had champagne and fresh fruit waiting for us ( we were celebrating an anniversary). Scott showed us around the lush tropical property that backs up right to the Kailua beach park. They gave us recommendations for where to eat, hike and snorkel. We had the convenience of a small kitchen with every appliance we could need and then some. We were able to use their washer and dryer, which was great considering all of the hiking we did! They supplied chairs, towels and mats for the beach so we didn’t have to pack or purchase them bulky items. Scott and Cheri were wonderful hosts and we can’t wait to go back!

My wife and I go almost every year to Kailua/Lanikai for a nice break from winter doldrums. We have stayed in places both large and small depending upon # of people coming with us. This year was just the two of us and we decided to pick Cheri and Scott's 1 BR bungalow that is within VERY easy walking/strolling distance to the beach. The place was lovely for two adults with a small kitchen and a small couch area off to the side separate from the bedroom. One of the best parts of the bungalow is the living room that looked out on a beautiful garden with the sounds of a fountain nearby. It was a space Cheri and Scott had personally nurtured and had become this amazing garden. It was amazingly peaceful and my wife and I settled in for 10 days. We woke up late, lounged around a lot if it sprinkled, walked and hiked in nearby hills and on the beaches when it was sunny and made sure to be lounge lizards on the beach as often as possible. They had all the amenities: beach towels, mats, beach chairs, water bottles - perfect. This is a real Hawaiian atmosphere without all the stuffiness. The landscaping is gorgeous. Cheri and Scott were kind enough to invite us up for a drink and wander around their gardens, which we enjoyed immensely. This is NOT a Ritz-Carlton Hotel vacation -- it IS a wonderfully relaxing vacation with the atmosphere you always hope to get when you go to the islands. You really feel like a local. In fact, we spent many a night wrapping ourselves up in a blanket on the couch reading a great book after having gone to the local Foodland for amazing poke and local fruit and vegetables. You couldn't have asked for a better meal. However, one of the most unexpected outcomes of this vacation -- besides being really relaxed afterward, was the friendship we made with Cheri & Scott -- what amazing individuals and hosts. Sometimes you get really lucky with your private home vacations and this was definitely one of them. As you may guess from our commentary, we will be coming back.

Cheri and Scott were the most amazing hosts for my parents again who are both in their 70’s. Genuinely caring and attentive to their needs. Could not ask for a better place for them.

The suggestions provided by our hosts were wonderful. Very helpful and informative as we were on the island for a wedding and had no major plans so just opened their ‘suggestions’ binder and made an amazing week of it! Parking in Hawaii can be tricky but if you stay here, you can walk to both beaches and most eateries in Kailua!

Convenient, comfortable, well organized hide-away that balances indoor and outdoor needs. Blends in perfectly with the natural beauty of the island and small town charm.
