We loved the area that had a beautiful beach nearby (walking distance), many shopping and food options with a small town feel, and very responsive and helpful hosts. Driving to all the other attractions on the island were only 30 minutes to an hour away. The lanai was a favorite spot to sit and relax enjoying the plumeria and other beautiful plants and birds. Rick and Nancy provided beach chairs, bicycles, cooler, and a grill in addition to a well furnished home in paradise! If we get to return to Oahu, we would definitely stay at one of Rick's homes!

The property was very clean and well maintained, and the owners were so generous with all the features and equipment they offer. Kailua beach is just quick hop away from property, and it's equally close to shopping and excellent local dining options. Rick and Nancy were very accommodating and and gracious during our stay. 6 out of 5 stars!

This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Caroline F., Buffalo NY Mar 4, 2016 #### Easy place to stay Nancy and Rick's place was very clean and well-stocked. The appliances are clean and new - including the shared high end washer-dryer. It was even more private than we anticipated - during our week there we barely noticed that other people were in the vicinity. The place is an easy walk (maybe equal to 3 east coast beach blocks) to the beach or to food and grocery in town. If you use their bikes, it is even easier. We made a few trips into Honolulu and around the island for hiking and we thought that this apartment was perfectly located for exploring. We used their beach chairs every day - Kailua beach is the best beach we've ever visited. We are city people and didn't really notice the traffic on Kailua Road - it is a slow speed road and is lightly traveled outside of beach times. I would recommend Nancy and Rick's place - and their advice about Oahu - to anyone without reservation. Thanks for offering such a comfortable and easy place to stay. I sure hope we see you again next year! ##### Caroline F. Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2016 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Teri S.

Stayed 8 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jun 13, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Clean, quiet and perfect location. Wonderful hosts. Wonderful visit that my wife and I will always remember fondly. Nancy, Rick and children were extremely helpful and by the end of our stay I would consider them friends. The place is perfectly situated between town and Kailua Beach. Walking distance if you want. Buzz's steakhouse is a must visit. One of the the most convenient things about the place is you have your own parking spot. The studio is well stocked with a full kitchen and for us the shower was a dream. Very comfortable bed, great TV and sound system. Nice patio in front to have your morning coffee or evening glass of wine. I could go on forever but I will end by saying if you are looking for a clean, quiet and perfect spot with great hosts who will respond to any questions and make your stay memorable you will not find better place. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 14 nights in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### J S G.

Dec 27, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great value, location and peace Complete amenities, equal distance from town and beach. Nice property with 2 cabanas besides the main house. Everything you need for a great visit to Kailua and overall, economical! Very clean (not just Covid clean, but everything about the studio is very nice) and a complete kitchen, sitting area, bath and such along with great hosts. I'm guessing we will be back! ##### Joseph I. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lorraine K. Aug 11, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location and lovely unit Spent 3 weeks here with our daughter, beautiful location 5 minutes to the beach and town centre. Hosts welcoming and always on hand if you have questions. ##### Lorraine K. Stayed 19 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dave & Laura P., Canada Mar 6, 2018 #### Very good Rick and Nancy have established a very nice rental unit and did not compromise on quality as this would be a reflection of their own high standards. The only thing was when you click on VBRO for directions it say 150 meters from the beach and as it turns out that distance is not correct. This may not be an issue as it puts you an equal balance from town center and the beach but just to be aware. Rick and Nancy are very quick to fix any issues. Would book again to complete more hikes and exploring. ##### Dave & Laura P.

Everything you could want for a quiet beach getaway is available at Rick and Nancy's cottages - I could not have found a better place to stay.

Nancy and Rick went above and beyond making our stay fantastic. The studio was very comfortable, and the full kitchen helped. There were buggy boards available for us to use, plus chairs. The walk to the beach is 2 minutes, which made life easier not having to find parking at the beach. Would highly recommend this studio for its location and the friendliness of the owners, Rick, and Nancy. ##### Lorna H.

Apr 19, 2016 #### Awesome home and location My husband, daughter, son and I recently stayed at Rick and Nancy's home last week and we had a great time! Rick was extremely welcoming and helpful during our stay. We really enjoyed our time and definitely would recommend all of our family and friends to stay here too. ##### Teodora I.

The place exceeded all of our expectations. The fit and finish of the residence were superior to what the pictures might suggest. Yes, a seperate bedroom might have been nice, but I still feel that we were fortunate to have chosen this place. The location was a pleasant 8 minute walk to the most amazing beach. I don't recommend places easily but for this place I simply must. ##### Ian C. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael F. Dec 1, 2015 #### Clean, comfortable, great location Rick & Nancy are pros. They know Kailua town and have everything you need for a great stay. Their property is in a terrific location close to town and the beach; easily walkable to all the major attractions. Their unit was clean and comfortable, and check-in was a breeze. If you're looking for a hassle-free vacation in Kailua, then Rick & Nancy will take care of you. Hard to go wrong here. I'll be back! ##### Michael F.
