I have contacted the owners of this B&B Jona & her son Hogan. I was told they are doing the housekeeping laundry - which is a big flat lie - there are no guests doing their laundry. I have sent messages via text & phone cal - no answer -finally, I was able to contact the Hogan on the Airbnb email . Hogan answered my emails & basically gave excuses why the washer was / dryer is occupied - no time or when the washer & dryer will be emptied. I find this 100% bad customer service No one is on property - i don't like being ignored - just words up - keeping Yelp customers informed - Big Complaint Mrs C disliking Payapa Paradise - and - unhappy - I still need to wash/dry only one load.

If you're looking for a good breakfast, though, you'll need to go into the cute town that's three minutes away.

Upon arrival, we were greeted by Misty and given a walk through of the beautiful and newly renovated unit. Misty then offered advice to help us plan our trip, and gave us recommendations for local eateries and hikes. For breakfast, we found a healthy selection of fruit, juice, pastries, yogurt, and bottled water waiting for us in the refrigerator. There were also many kinds of k-cup coffees and teas for us to choose from. The towels were fluffy, the bedding was comfortable, and the toiletries were quality organic products. We loved walking to the quiet Kailua beach and to the shopping plaza across the street for delicious poke bowls. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and won't hesitate to recommend this B&B to friends and family.

We did not get to talk, or communicate with the hostess at all. which is not a bad or a good thing. five star for location one star for the condition of the room.

The big unit has a full kitchen with a dining room table, full fridge, a stove, and an oven. It has a washer and dryer, multiple beds, a TV, a huge couch, and a love seat. The big unit is very spaces, with a parking stool. If you want to park in the parking stool you need to go done the drive way which is narrow, or you can park on the road, which is really safe! The small unit has a queen or king size bed, a mini kitchen, no oven, microwave etc. It has a full size bathroom, and it accessible. I would say the small unit is for two people, ike a couple or a small family with one child. I would 100% come again! You should definitely stay here!

First off, this is more a vacation rental. This was our first trip out to Hawaii and we were…read morelooking for something on the Windward side of Oahu. I found this place while searching for bed and breakfast establishments. **Note to readers** Make sure to check for only registered lodgings, Hawaii is having issues with unregistered establishments. Checking for availability was a simple e-mail inquiry, though I could have called as well. Response was prompt and concise. Reserved room through e-mail and called to give them the credit card info. There are two units, both sectioned off from the house with private bathrooms, one with more space and a kitchen. We chose the smaller unit which was cheaper, only $75 a night for the end of January. The place is two blocks from the beach and there are two beach access points nearby. I was nervous, given the low price and my unfamiliarity with Kailua. All my fears were gone the minute I saw the place. A large bed, a private bathroom, a mini-fridge, microwave and toaster oven. Even a television with cable and room for our stuff. While not top of the line, the room was everything I expected. Barbara and her husband were gracious hosts. We had immediate answers to any questions and a nice patio with a pool at our disposal. Bottom line: if you want a nice, simple starting point for your daily excursions, check into Auntie Barbara's now. For the price and amenities offered it can't be beat. It missed four stars for only one reason: parking. The house is set back from the road down a narrow driveway flanked by a concrete wall and a fence. Parking next to the house and getting back out is a nightmare. Thankfully we were able to utilize street parking and walked down the driveway to our unit after the first day.

This was our first time at a Bed & Breakfast and it was a nice experience! We stayed in the Tropical Studio room. Barbara and Lionel made sure that if we needed anything, our requests were met. Whenever we saw the hosts they were sure to greet us. They didn't hover which was super nice. Mr. Lionel noticed upon our arrival that the extension cord in the room wasn't working so he went out and bought another one, while we were out working the cord was placed on the table in the room, but none of our stuff was touched or moved so we didn't have to worry about any invasions of privacy. The residental area is quiet, you will see lots of neighbors out walking with and without kids and it is a 10 minute walk to the beach which had calm waves! We would recommend if you are looking for a quiet place around local residents. We would visit this Bed & Breakfast again!

The first day,…read moreI thought I was guaranteed to see an apparition, given the house was built in 1914, the history of Mānoa Valley, and the turreted Victorian architecture. But the more time I spent here, this house grew on me. I was lucky to have the Davies room on the third floor (note that there are no elevators, and there are no plans to add ADA access because the house is on the National Registry of Historic Places). Awesome view of Waikīkī at sunrise and golden hour. Being 6'1" the bathroom can be awkward with its placement under a steep-sloped gable, requiring me to stand a little closer to the shower head and sink. The house has that smell like grandma's house, but it's expected with any wooden building this old. Top-notch antiques decorate every corner in a tasteful way. The saltwater pool is an added comfort, and the breakfasts made to order by Tomomi and her daughter is plain ol' good homecooking. Owner Scott Glen put a lot of money, time, and sweat into making this place wonderful. The five ducks, cat, and miniature pinscher are fun housemates!

Took a time out from life and escaped to the historic Manoa Valley Inn ( also known as the John…read moreGuild House) . I immediately jumped in the outdoor saltwater pool. It was private and cooling. I was lucky to have the inn pretty much to myself. I was afraid that it would be haunted but I felt a welcoming atmosphere throughout my stay. I took the John Guild Suite. I felt sad to learn John Guild had embezzled money from the Dillingham company to build this house. He was caught and had to turn the home over to the Dillinghams -- had a quiet evening after having an Italian dinner at a nearby restaurant. Was very quiet and I slept very well. The family that took over the inn was very pleasant and created a terrific breakfast in the morning. I will be returning when I can. You would need to climb stairs if u want the John Guild or Dillingham suites. I did see a clown loach in the aquarium. Haven't seen one in ages and remembered that in the wild they can grow very large. Checking out was done smoothly and felt refreshed to begin the work week again
