I recently had the privilege to stay at Sheffield House in Kailua, Oahu. From the first minute we walked in, I knew I was going to love it there. You enter through the garden gate into your own little walled-garden escape. Each unit feels very secluded from the other (it's a 2-unit place). I didn't even notice the other guests... More

Cottage style accomodation. NO intrusion by owners. This place is not B&B in my opinion... its a step above as both rooms they offer have private entrances off the drive and are each somewhat secluded and private. Covered in greenery it provides a kool refuge from the sun and heat. I had a GREAT stay here. (may not leave :))... More

An excellent, relaxing hideaway with great access to one of the finest beaches on Oahu (beach tatami mats, beach chairs, and boogie boards available on our front porch). Not for anyone wanting a "tourist" experience. Our hosts were available upon call, but not obtrusive. It seemed like we were in our own private residence. Note: Breakfast is for the first... More

We stayed at the Sheffield house this past week, and loved it. I was a bit worried at first, because we didn't hear much from the owners, but I think that was intentional. They respect your privacy (almost to their own fault). The room was the Garden Suite, which was a beautiful quaint little cottage with a front Lanai, a... More

This review is about the Garden Suite at Sheffield House: Have you ever been to Kailua beach? If so, you know why any apartment that's close by need not be 100 per cent perfect to still be worth staying there. Taken by itself, Sheffield House is not a dream vacation spot. It's cons: It's dark. That's due to the lush,... More

Well, first of all: Did I expect some "Aloha" feeling there ? Certainly not. Has the host (Rachel) been unfrindly? For sure not. But what I could expect is a warm welcome after a long trip (especially to my 8 year old daughter to give her a feeling of warm welcome, no koochy koo but a smile will do), some... More

Staying here gave us a real feel of the way Hawaii is to those lucky people who get to live here all the time. This B&B is perfect for experiencing the wonders of nature, the geckos, warm sunshine, breeze in the palm trees......Sure there is traffic nearby but so is the beach, shops and everyday Hawaiian life. Our hosts were... More

I'll start with the positives. Correspondence prior to booking was great, really friendly and efficient. Apartment is nice and well located, just 7 minutes walk to a thoroughly fantastic beach. Beautiful beach. Beach towels, boogie boards and grass mats were provided. But, sadly the business has lost its soul. I imagine the ownere were once incredibly good at this business... More

This was my first solo "mommy vacation" after 4 years to Hawaii and I was very excited about the whole plan, but got some un-expected surprises: first the BUS does NOT take you from the airport to Kailua if you have a carry on bag, and there is NO SHUTTLE SERVICE unless you arranged for one before your trip. CABS... More
