Absolute Paradise

Scott and Cheri's Beach Bungalow was clean, private, relaxing and wonderful. We stayed a month here in Kailua, enjoyed the beach daily (a mere 100 feet or so away), walked to town for groceries, road the local bus to Honolulu, North Shore, Diamond Head and beyond. The property was well stocked, quiet and comfortable. The private garden was beautiful and bird watching at the fountain was a daily enjoyment. Cheri and Scott were fantastic hosts and we enjoyed getting know them! Thank you!

Great beach access and birding site

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.

Wonderful stay in Kailua

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!

A wonderful time away from home, staying safe on a beautiful place.

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!

Wow!

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!

About the host

Hosted by Cheri Michel Brazwell

I am a leadership/mgmt consultant and I have been very lucky in that my work has allowed me to coach and lead workshops on 5 continents. My husband and I love to explore the world and, when we are at home, we love to renovate - bringing old homes back to life!

Why they chose this property

This is an amazing property - each bungalow has it's own private entry and gardens...and even though we are in the heart of the action - it remains secluded, calm and quiet.

The property will be made exclusively available to the renter for a full period of 30-days and no one else may occupy the property during that period. The 30-day rental period will be communicated to guest upon booking.

What makes this property unique

From an article in Coastal Living 2018:

Is this the most beautiful beach town in America? Quite possibly.
By Tracey Minkin

"There are beach towns, and then there’s a town so stop-in-your-flip-flops gorgeous, it’s tempting to name that place the ultimate beach town. Such is the temptation of Kailua, Oahu’s slender strand along its windward shore that’s home to two idyllic public beaches and 53,000 very lucky Hawaiians.

Surrounded by steep emerald slopes and carved quietly by rivers that flow into Kailua Bay, this understatedly hip community just 12 miles from Honolulu is endowed with extraordinary beauty, a serene lifestyle, small-scale neighborhoods of single-family homes, a walkable downtown with great food and shopping, and vistas without peer."
