The space

1200Sqft townhouse with 2 beautiful spacious enclosed lanais (patios) and 1 balcony. 3 bedrooms. 1 Queen, and 2 kid rooms. 1 kid room with full sized low loft, and 1 kid room with double floor futon under full sized low loft. 2 full bathrooms with tubs, 1/2 bathroom with large washer and dryer. Living room, kitchen, Lanai with table for family dining.

Notes

Indoor/outdoor cat (Mica) prefers twice daily feedings and comes inside at night. There are no bugs, so our doors generally stay open when we are home and we enjoy cross breezes of the windward side. Cat spends most of his time lounging on the lanai or following the kids.

Feedback

  • What a wonderful experience I had at Lydia’s place! Their location on the windward side of Oahu made it easy to see both the city of Honolulu/Waikiki and the wild beaches of the North Shore and their own Kailua. I explored a different area each day and then relaxed on their lanai with their sweet Mica cat each evening, listening to the laughter at the swimming pool just steps away. Make sure to visit Koalua Ranch, the Polynesian Cultural Center, and Disney’s Ailua Resort while you’re here!

Lydia

We are an American Family of 5 (3 girls ages 10-15yrs) who love the outdoors, meeting new people, and exploring our world. We have lived outside of the United States in Europe and Japan as well as traveled extensively. We have now made Oahu, Hawaii our home base and love the culture and natural beauty of this island. Our home is a beautiful townhouse in a walkable location on the Windward side of the Island in Kailua with a lovable indoor/outdoor cat. We look forward to meeting new friends and sharing our hikes, waterfalls, and beaches through this platform.
