About this property

Available and legal for stays less than 30 days

Yes, we are a legal, licensed bed and breakfast. We are available and legal for stays of less than 30 days. We are not effected by the recent controversy which effect unlicensed bnbs in Honolulu. See license numbers below.

Walk to beach from Hawaii Sheffield House. Located just 10 houses from Kailua Beach the Garden Suite has a queen bed and single bed sized day bed/with trundle and a delightful window seat which is also the size of a single bed. It has a private entrance and a private bath.

Sheffield House is located in a neighborhood only a short walk (10 houses) from secluded Kailua Beach - one of the best beaches on Oahu. Sunbathe or swim in the cool water or just walk on the white sandy beach. On breezy days watch the windsurfers, or look for sea turtles between Flat Island and Kailua Beach Park.

Take advantage of waking up early from the time zone change and walk down to the beach to watch the sun rise out of the ocean over the Mokulua Islands. Or once a month check out the full moon rise out of the ocean. Bird watching is superior over the canal at Kailua Beach park or in Kawainui Marsh. See stilts, herons, or iwa birds.

Yes, we have a minimum night stay. However, always inquire to Hawaii Sheffield House as we will take shorter stays if it is between longer stays or last minute if the room is available! Hawaii Sheffield House
has been in business over 25 years. ( Yes, we have been in business so long we are older than the internet! We are still listed in guidebooks such as the Lonely Planet , Frommers, and Foders. We have been listed in the magazine Coastal Living and the Los Angeles Times ! )

Sadly, there has been a delay in the completion of the round about leading to Lanikai. So, our street can be busier than usual due to detoured traffic. However, it traffic depends on worker schedules. Hopefully, by the time you read this construction will be completed and the detour will be removed.

I love, loved the private garden courtyard and the tropical cottage ambience of the apartment. It was comfortable size for my mom and I. The location was beyond perfect with a short walk to Kailua Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, and so close to the all the great conveniences of Kailua Town. It was a wonderful treat to spend time in the heart of my childhood home town so close to my favorite beach! The host are so very kind and very attentive taking care of everything we needed right away. Would definitely love to stay here again.

Such a lovely stay. We were welcomed with baked cookies! Owners were attentive, quick to answer any questions, and very nice. Property is beautiful, cozy, and we're hoping to come back again next year. Some had issues with the, "busy road" this property is next to but we didn't even notice. Consider bringing your own Fire stick if you'd like any streaming service. I recommend!

We couldn’t have asked for a better location in Kailua. We could easily walk to Kailua Beach and Kailua Town in under 10 minutes. The space was clean and comfortable. I appreciated the secluded courtyard for privacy. We would definitely stay here again.

Great accommodation, wonderful hosts!

First off, apologies to our wonderful hosts Paul and Rachel for posting this review a little late. Our week spent in the Garden Suite at Sheffield House was ideal! From the short (5-ish min.) walk tot the beach, to the calm and private patio outside our front door, everything was just as advertised and just what the doctor ordered! We didn’t experience the traffic noise mentioned on other reviews, either. It was a wonderful, tranquil space to spend down time hosted by folks who truly understand how to treat their guest.

Everything we needed was already available. Coffee grounds, scones, towels, shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Plenty of ventilation and easy to understand instructions for checkout. Will book again; the respite that Kailua provides from the touristy hustle of Honolulu can’t be quantified.

My husband, I absolutely enjoyed our time at Sheffield house! The privacy, the garden area, the outdoor shower, the room, the space, the whole atmosphere were all perfect for our anniversary get away!Paul and Rachel are kind and thoughtful hosts!We arrived after dark to have Paul welcome us . The house was beautiful and more than we anticipated! Paul and Rachel provided us with treats and juice for the first morning as we woke up to the sound of birds chirping in the garden. The beach was close enough to walk to within a couple minutes. Taking the provided boogie boards, beach chairs and sun umbrella to enjoy the day in the sun! The house is stocked with everything you need to make your own food or to enjoy takeout. The town is close the restaurant options plentiful! We will definitely be back to enjoy again!!
