Wonderful family vacation rental

Staying at the Happy Kailua Beach House was a wonderful experience. The business transaction was smooth, the house itself was everything that it was said to be (clean,well stocked, comfortable beds, great location in a family neighborhood and a great uncrowded beach close by) I would recommend this house to anyone especially with small children as there is a yard for them to play in and toys for the beach.

Our family just returned from a memorable trip to Oahu (10/08). The Happy Kailua Beach House was a delightful vacation rental and we highly recommend it.

The owners of this home were friendly and gracious. The home's location is just a short walk from Kailua Beach and a short drive to wonderful restaurants and shopping. It is also well equipped with everything you could need; from laundry facilities to every imaginable beach necessity.

Our group consisted of two adult couples and one toddler. The layout of the home provided a great amount of privacy, space and comfort for all (as two of the bedrooms were separated by the two baths). The living room/dining room areas were comfortable, cozy and most of all very clean.

It was our pleasure to spend the week at the Happy Kailua Beach house. We look forward to returning again and again.

Great location. The house is set back, so there's hardly any traffic noise. Hearing the neighbors on occasion contributed to being in a neighborhood, not a tourist resort. The house is clean and cozy and our family enjoyed being there. Definitely would go back and would recommend to others.

Amazing.
The house was just perfect. We have a 2 yr old and a nanny and the house couldn't have been setup better for us. The kidders was able to sleep well in the room at the end of the hall, and the pack-n-play was a perfect crib for her so we didn't have to lug our own on the plane. The beach toys provided were loads of fun and being able to wake up with the birds and walk down to the beach in our PJ's with Coffee to watch the sunrise was an experience I'll never forget.

If you find the 2-3ft surf at the beach right down the block from the house to be intimidating, drive for about a mile west on the road that runs along the beach and you'll get to a much calmer beach where our baby and my preggers wife felt comfortable splashing around.

The property owner was super helpful both as we planned our trip with questions and once we got there, even though he was stuck in California! The place was clean, the cable had lots of channels, the BBQ was large and had plenty of propane - 10 out of 10.

All and all, a fantastic vacation and a wonderful house.

We came down for a pre-deployment holiday and family gathering and belated Christmas on Oahu and we were not disappointed. The Holt family was gracious and very responsive to our reservation and had great follow-up prior to our arrival and after returning home as well. We found so much more there than we expected (go to the house first and then to the grocery store!). All things were as advertised and I loved the Malasada's at Agnes' even if the rest of the were more at like than love. Beach is close, town is close, USMC base is close and it feels like home. We all hated the day we packed up to come home. We are sure you'll have a great time at the Happy Kailua Beach House!

We had a fabulous multi-generational vacation in the Happy House last September. We forgot to leave our comments (all positive!) until now, when we came to check availabilty to return next year! So, we must have enjoyed ourselves to want to return again. Would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys the proximity to Kailua town and beach. It's a great house for families. Really nicely furnished and easy to maintain - after all, who want's to be doing housework on vacation?!

We had a wonderful time at your cozy, comfy home in Kailua. Everything was perfect for this small family of three with a toddler in tow. Proximity to the beach is amazing and such a treat for us Northwesterners. We couldn't have been more comfortable or more relaxed unless we'd been home!

We have just returned home from a much too short
9 day trip to O'ahu! Your lovely home provided us
with a cozy place to call home while we were in
Kailua. We were traveling with 3 children and my
mother, and the house was just right for all of us.
We appreciated having the cooler on wheels as well
as boogie boards and the skim board and buckets
and other beach goodies. Everything was even
better than we had expected. We had not been to
the area in 10 years and were surprised to see all of
the changes......especially the number of people on
Lani Kai beach....where we used to live. Delighted
to see the"Mayor " of Lani Kai still roaming the
beach daily. We will definitely keep your
information for future vacations! Thank you for
opening your home to us.
P.S. Loved the photos!
