Hawaii Condominium Sales and Information

OVERVIEW: Kailua - this is your characteristic beach town located on the Windward side of Oahu. Kailua is close to town but still retains its old-world Hawaiiana charm. This is where you find a small town life-style with local pride. You can still find one-of-its kind local eateries, mom and pop bakeries and shops in this friendly neighborhood. Many people choose to live in Kailua and work and send their children to schools in Honolulu. The 4th of July and Christmas parades are some of the wonderful tradition of Kailua.

In the Hawaiian language Kailua means "two seas" a contraction of the words kai (meaning sea) and 'elua (meaning two); it is so named because of the peninsula that divides Kailua Bay. There are no resorts in Kailua but there are vacation rentals and Bed and Breakfast establishments in this community. This is a place to live if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city yet it is only 20 - 30 minutes from downtown Honolulu via the Pali Highway. The best place to get a panoramic view of Kailua is from the Nuuanu Pali Lookout.

SITES OF INTEREST:

Kailua Beach Park - this is by far one of the finest beaches in the world. Expansive golden sandy beach extends approximately 2 1/2 miles. The bay offers protection and one rarely see monster waves of North Shore. This is a family-friendly place favored by swimmers, boogie boarding, body surfing and kayaking. Windsailing is also very popular sport and on any day with little wind you see wind-surfing enthusiasts with their colorful sails. Kailua Beach Park offers tree shaded picnic benches and free parking stalls for bathers and surfers. Kailua Beach has repeatedly made the top 10 beaches in the world.

Lanikai Beach Park - only 1-mile strand, the shore is lined with multi-million dollar houses. This is another safe swimmer friendly beach but due to protective seawalls put up by some home owners serious erosion problems are worrying ecologists. Lanikai Beach has, like its neighboring beach Kailua Beach, repeatedly made the top 10 beaches in the world.
