This is a fabulous place to stay. The beach is right outside of the property but is closed after 7 p.m., so no unwanted noise in the evening. We enjoyed being able to see a large variety of birds come to our private courtyard each day. The apartment is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. We found our hosts very responsive to meeting our needs. We will definitely return for another visit.

We had such a wonderful time returning to this beautifully decorated and comfortable home on Kailua beach. It is perfectly located, just a short walk into Kailua town, next door to the Kalapawai Market, and steps to the beach. The landscaping is beautiful and immersive. This is a great spot for a quiet retreat in paradise!

During a pandemic we took the measures necessary to travel safely. Is truly a house in Paradise! We spent most of our time at home and at the beach, they have a perfect location for a staycation where we can enjoy nature and remain isolated if we want. A few steps from Kailua beach, a great garden where we spent our evenings relaxing, drinking wine and barbecuing.
The hosts are very thoughtful and caring!
I definitely recommend!

This place is astounding. We spent mornings in the garden with our coffee while enjoying the fishpond, birds, cats, and flowers; days on the beach and in the ocean; and evenings again in the garden having drinks and enjoying the stars above and the delightful sounds of the fountains. We explored less of the rest of the island than we’d intended because hanging out in Kailua at this fabulous property was so much better than we could have imagined.
Thanks to Cheri and Scott for providing such a wonderfully relaxing oasis for our vacation!

We had an amazing visit to Hawaii while staying here in Kailua. The place is fantastic with great amenities and easy beach access! We really couldn’t have picked a better place to stay, everything was wonderful!! Highly recommended.

When we booked this rental, I was not sure what to expect, because it is literally steps away from Kailua Beach, which can be a very busy area. Once we drove down the beautiful lane and saw the yard that was surrounding this rental, we knew we were in the right place. It is literally a small botanical garden. Cherie and Scott have done a beautiful job on the surroundings to promote beauty and privacy. On entering the rental, we were amazed at the furnishings and the art work and the views that were created from every window. We usually travel quite a bit when we are in Hawaii, going to different parts of the island. We spent 2 weeks here and did not go any further than Honolulu, Waimanalo and Ewa (to watch our daughter play college soccer). We mostly walked and swam at Kailua beach, snorkeled at Lanakai and tried out restaurant suggestions from Cherie and Scott. The indoor lanai and the yard were so delightful and peaceful that we spent more time at "home" than we usually do. Therefore we came away very relaxed and refreshed from this vacation. This is our 6th time to Oahu but a new favorite place we visited was the Lyons arboretum, 200 acres behind the U of Hawaii at Manoa. Lots of hikes and beautiful scenery. Went to several vegetarian restuarants and our favorite in Kailua was Beet Box and favorite in Honolulu was The Peace Café. Oh, and did I mention, Cherie and Scott were so friendly and helpful. Their thoughtfulness and creativity has created a very special place. We are grateful to have shared it for 2 weeks. Mahalo. Hope to return soon. Chris and Tom

My wife and I stayed 10 days. Scott and Cheri are excellent hosts who made for a great trip, providing local insight and advice for restaurants and activities. Their home is even more incredible than the pictures show. The garden property is astonishing, the bungalow is clean with a Hawaiian feel, and the location could not get any better (Kalapawai Market right next door, walk out to Kailua beach, walking distance to Lanikai beach and multiple restaurants/shops, a very short drive to downtown Kailua, and an easy drive to virtually anywhere on the island by avoiding Honolulu/Waikiki traffic). Do yourself a favor and stay here.
Thank you again, Scott and Cheri!
