First Hawaii vacation
Review Submitted: November 7, 2008
Date of Stay: October 2008
This was our first trip to Hawaii and my husband and I didn't want to stay in Waikiki/Honolulu. We decided on Kailua, not knowing anything about it and managed to find Kiana's place quite last minute (our original HomeAway booking fell through for unforeseen reasons). What a great decision! Kiana's place was very clean with lots of thoughtful little amenities (e.g. coffee, sugar, first-aid kit, pamphlets of what to do in Kailua and on Oahu); the description on the website was very accurate. The owner sent us directions and a map and was extremely friendly when we finally met her, but was also very respectful of our privacy. We made several meals in house - the kitchenette had everything we needed. The lanai had a fantastic view of surrounding mountains - very relaxing while having a morning coffee! From Kiana's place it was ~30 walk to downtown Kailua and the beach (though everyone else seems to drive). It's a great place with plenty of good restaurants and shops. We highly recommend a kayak tour with Kailua Sailboards and Kayaks, if you're into that kind of thing.
