Wonderful host and home. Lots of space and huge backyard with big pool and lots of furniture. Beach equipment was there for us to use and 5-7 minute walk to beautiful spot on Kailua beach and a few minute car ride to Kailua town. Very comfortable and family and guests loved it. Thanks again, Scott for a wonderful visit!!

We had a lovely stay at this home. With 4 bedrooms, a large back yard and pool, there was plenty of room for our family. The home has a beautiful hawaiian feel with its decor, gardens and ponds about the yard.

We stayed a month in Scott's place in Kailua and had the best time. The house is perfect! It has tons of comfortable lounging areas inside and outside, everything you need in the kitchen, the pool is glorious. You can walk to the beach in 5 minutes. The beach turned out to be our favorite. It has little waves to play in and can walk 4 miles one way on the sand. Anyways I fully recommend staying here!

Location excellent. Property met our needs for our stay. Scott was very easy to communicate with and very accomodating. Look forward to a return trip to Oahu. Property does need some deferred maintenance performed. Other than that, everything was absolutely fine. Mahalo Scott.

This home in Kailua is located in a quiet neighborhood with a large backyard shaded by a huge monkeypod tree. Plenty of comfortable outdoor seating furniture and a wonderfully refreshing swimming pool. Off street parking and plenty of room to spread out with a well equipped kitchen if you like to stay in and prepare your own meals. Washer and dryer make this very convenient. The owner/manager lives in the area and is quick to respond to any questions or issues. Walking distance to one of the best beaches in Hawaii. Grocery stores and restaurants are nearby. We recommend this home and the owner and will book here again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our recent stay (March 2023) at this beautiful house with a nice, large backyard with pool. We got the feeling that the neighborhood is one of the best in Kailua. A short walk to Kailua beach was our morning, sunrise routine. We loved the house decor and wall landscapes. The kitchen had everything we needed. The teenager, and even we, used the beach chairs and boogie boards a lot. Our host, Scott, was very gracious and responsive to questions. We highly recommend this rental if you’re looking to stay in Kailua. A beautiful, more quiet side of Oahu - Only 25-30 minutes to Waikiki. And there were several good restaurants close by.

We had a lovely stay at Scott’s house in Kailua. It was spacious and had a huge, private yard with lots of lush flowers and foliage and an amazing & refreshing private swimming pool with pool toys and lounge chairs. The beach path was about 5 mins away and we enjoyed morning walks along the sand. The house was exactly what we needed for our month stay in Oahu (14 days in quarantine). As this is Hawaii, there were lots of insects, mongoose and geckos around. The kitchen was equipped but the appliances and cabinets are older. We didn’t do much cooking as a result. Otherwise, if you are looking for paradise and peace with a private pool, Scott’s home is a gem.

We loved the property! Our family stayed the month of January and would return in a heartbeat. Scott is an attentive host that was readily available with any of our questions or concerns. The home is spacious and open with a true Hawaiian decor, easily accommodating our family with space to spare. The enclosed entry invites you into the home with the calming sound of the koi pond being heard throughout the living area. The home is well equipped with all towels, linens, cooking utensils, etc. for all your needs. The real treasure is the outdoor tropical retreat with a large pool, tables, sitting pods and lots of pool and beach equipment for us to use. We enjoyed watching many spectacular sunrises on beautiful Kailua Beach which is an easy 5 minute walk from Scott's magnificent property. Don't hesitate to reserve this incredible home, you won't be disappointed. Thanks Scott for a wonderful vacation!

We stayed for the month of November 2023. Our adult daughters and their spouses joined us along with a 14 month old Grandchild. There was plenty of room for all, house was somewhat dated but absolutely comfortable and clean, the pool was superb, easy walk to the beach using provided wagons/umbrellas/chairs. Scott was an amazing host. We all had a most wonderful time.

We had a fantastic stay at Butterfly House. The home was exactly as listed. The pool was bigger than expected and very well used. There was lots of pool and beach gear available. There were even beach wagons and coolers. The walk to the beach was easy and the beach was truly the beast on the island. Not busy, clean, great for bobbing, surfing, boarding, fishing or just reading. The location of the house between Kailua town and Kaneohe with easy access to all higways was perfect. Its an easy 25 minute drive from the airport. Our family were very comfortable and loved the charCter of the home. Many had not visited the uslands before and this introduction had them planning their return. Scott our host was friendly and responsive. His welcome tour was thorough and he insisted on helping us pack in our luggage and groceries. We will be back again. A month was too short!

Absolutely wonderful stay for our family! Everything we remember about wonderful Kailua! The quaint and quiet town, the refreshing breeze, and the sweet serenity of the simple life! Scott met us and made checkin a breeze. Plenty of fans were provided and used on the warm days. The beach was amazing! The walk to beach does require some attention on a short stretch of road, as Scott advised. A real value for Kailua. One of the most serene experiences of our lives! If only we could afford to buy such house!

Scott is an awesome host. His home fit all of our needs and was everything we could have hoped for during our month stay in Hawaii. It was clean, roomy, and had more amenities than we expected. It was close to the beach, and there were chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, snorkel equipment and more for us to use. The backyard pool and yard were well maintained and enjoyed daily. We loved our time here and would definitely stay here again. Thank you, Scott, for sharing your beautiful home with us. Aloha!

I LOVED the house!!! It was perfect for our family and friends to relax, recharge and rejuvenate! The house is designed very well. Open floor plan with great energy combining indoor and outdoor living perfectly. Everything felt very tropical and lush. Screens for all the doors and windows so you can just feel and smell fresh air and all the beautiful tropical landscaping. The bedrooms open into the most beautiful backyard with a big swimming pool. Plenty of chairs in the shade or sunshine. Easy to work by the pool with good internet and watching the kids swim. Everything felt very open, spacious, and tropical. Everything we dreamed Hawaii could be! The sound of the waterfall in the coi pond was such a nice touch! I couldn’t ask for a nicer and more responsive host. Scott was great at communicating, answering any question and taking care of things quickly. The house is just a 5 minute walk to one of the most beautiful beaches. Great shopping and restaurants within a 5-10 minute drive. Parking was easy. Lots of different areas, tables, counters, etc for different people in our group to work, eat, Netflix, etc. We had plenty of bedding, towels and whatever items needed for the beach & pool. Kitchen was equipped with everything we needed for cooking. The only thing we wanted was to stay longer!

Aloha! We spent one glorious month in Kailua. I can't begin to tell you how fantastic it was, and the house was a big reason why. The house is situated on this nice-sized grassy lot surrounded by a fence for total privacy, and the pool is *chef's kiss* perfection. We were in it every day. The house is a 5-7 minute walk to Kailua Beach, a gorgeous beach, simply gorgeous. My family and I probably watched the sun rise at the beach 50% of the mornings we spent in Kailua. The house is a 15-minute walk/5-minute drive to the grocery store. Fantastic. The house itself is comfy and well equipped with plenty of towels, beach towels and beach supplies. There is a nice washing machine and dryer on the premises, which we utilized often. The only thing that felt a bit uncomfortable regarding the house was that it got quite warm inside during the day, but when evening came, it cooled off nicely, and the house is equipped with lots of fans. The town of Kailua is absolutely adorable. We hit up the coffee shops pretty much every day, and there are so many cute local shops (my favorites are Olive and Oliver). My kids loved Island Snow. We enjoyed Maui Brewing Co for dinner a couple times. Scott is a great host, and he was easy to reach and incredibly responsive during our stay. We really appreciated him and all his help. We will definitely stay at this house again. Mahalo, Scott!!

We stayed for 5 weeks and loved the area and the house and the short walk to the Kastle/Kailua beach a beautiful beech. Calm beach with wave set in 2’ range. Loved the back yard and pool area. Owner was on site and available for any needs or questions. Home was open air with lots of windows, doors, and screens to allow great air flow. Would highly recommend and come back.

Honestly, the place was as good as advertised. Amazing location, great host, and very fair price. Wifi was good enough for 3 or 4 people to be in zoom calls. The only thing to know is that the house is located adjacent to the owner's own house, however the backyard and pool and all are private to you, so it's not an inconvenience.

We stayed here for 6 weeks in August/September 2020, and it was an incredible time. We spent almost all our hours in the backyard, hanging out and swimming and enjoying the scenery. The location was great and super close to a beautiful beach (<5 min walk). Scott was a very nice host and made us feel at home. Thank you Scott! Great WiFi as well if you are working from home during Covid We had to quarantine for 2 weeks when we got to Hawaii, and with the amazing backyard situation and pool, it flew by. We hope to come back soon!

Totally enjoyed our stay at Scott's Butterfly House. Our family voted on where to stay and chose this house. Very clean and spacious. Huge secluded backyard with great landscaping and a great pool. The pool was a hit with most of us, especially the grandchildren. A five minute walk to the 2019 Beach of the Year USA! Centrally located with beautiful drives along the beach to Honolulu, the North Shore, all attractions! The East Shore has the most beautiful beaches. Beautiful downtown Kailua minutes away. Scott was there to greet us and was available for all questions and concerns to help make our visit more enjoyable. We want to thank him for is concern and support when things started going nuts because of the coronavirus. Appreciated it Scott Thanks much!!!

We typically head for someplace warm, rent a house, and stay for a month or more in the winter, so I’ve gotten good at anticipating what we need to be comfortable for that long. Usually, though, it is a matter of finding the closest fit to our wish list. This place had it all, and then some: comfortable furniture, large pool, next to a beautiful beach, great kitchen, indoor and outdoor dining areas, nice neighborhood, pool and beach equipment. Honestly, everything was as advertised. We loved the relaxing sounds from the koi pond feature. Highly recommend!

Scott, the owner, and his girl friend Allyson are like this property - gracious, elegant, fun, stunningly beautiful, smart, comfortable and in harmony. I can honestly say if you want a healing, desire a peaceful environment surrounded by beauty, this is the place. It is truly the Aloha Spirit, from the friendly Koi fish, to the native birds, from the tropical plants and trees, to the stylish furnishings. You can hear the sound of the ocean and feel its movement. The pool is refreshing, fun, and private - no bathing suit required, all yours. I am thankful that Scott is so thoughtful and attentive to detail, a great landlord. Sincerely, Betina Lowman Mahalo

This was probably our best Hawaii vacation stay, even though we've been gong to Maui for years. We've gone the condo route before but it was a real treat to find space for all of us - 5 adults, 2 teenagers and 3 young kids and preteens. The kitchen was well supplied, the towels were plentiful, and the pool was amazing. There were enough shared spaces but also space to be on your own. The little ones especially loved the Koi and earning the honor of feeding them. Our last afternoon and evening was spent on Waikiki beach at the Beachfront Barefoot Café listening to a ukaleli concert and watching the hulu dancers and our grandkids trying to follow along -- beautiful ending to a memorable family vacation. Mahalo Scott and team.
