Kailua is a town on the Windward Coast of Oahu in Hawaii. The coast in general is renowned as an area of outstanding natural beauty, and Kailua is a great place to see some spectacular sunrises. With some great beaches and a laidback lifestyle, Kailua is the ideal destination for a relaxed family holiday. And with a huge amount of self-catered accommodation available in the town, you can find a home from home in this idyllic island setting. A trip to Hawaii might not sound like a money saving holiday, but there are rental homes available to suit every budget, and free up cash to enjoy the rest of your family holiday.

Kailua Beach Park will be the first stop for many tourists, and this amazing ocean beach is bound to take up a few days of your visit. Work on your tan, and admire the sea turtles which can be seen in the area. Also, watersports enthusiasts will love the opportunities provided by Kailua Beach, including kayaking, windsurfing, kiteboarding and scuba diving. All necessary equipment can be hired nearby for some unforgettable holiday experiences. Quite apart from exploring the rest of the Windward Coast and Oahu in general, you will also have to take a boat out to the Mokulua Islands, two small islands just off Oahu's coast which provide great surfing opportunities and slightly less crowded white sandy beaches.

With a huge variety of family friendly rental homes available in and around Kailua, it is easy to find deals on luxurious apartment rentals. With rental costs starting from just £390 for apartments large enough to accommodate a family of four or more, it can work out much less expensive than booking hotel rooms for the entire family. Many of the apartments come with spectacular ocean views, as well as access to private pools, tennis courts and other facilities, so it will certainly not feel like a low cost option! The extra privacy and space that comes with a rented holiday property also means that they're great for kids - the youngest members of your family can run around and let off steam without you having to worry about them disturbing the neighbours!
