The delightful open-air Garden Suite provides a refreshing Kailua accommodations, a retreat from a busy day of sight-seeing. The jalousy louvered windows invite the tradewinds through the unit. Wake up to the sound of the doves and the wind in the palm trees. Just outside the suite door way is a little turtle bubbling fountain in an old barrel.

If you come in May or June our Shower trees cover the parking and garden area in white flower petals. If you come in July or August the Royal Poinciana red flowers bloom matching our ohai hedge out front. If you are a botanical photographer/artist there is always flowers to photograph or paint. Our trees are like giant bouquets. The variegated hibiscus hedge along the driveway provides a daily display of color.

Over the futon couch is a watercolor showing the knowing look of Hawaiian monk seals. Like the seals you will want to enjoy the ocean water. The beach access closest to Sheffield House is on Ka'apuni Road. It has a great boogie board spot. The sparkling water is perfect and the waves offer endless entertainment for young and the young at heart.

The Garden Suite has a kitchenette and a fold-out sofa, and can sleep three. The kitchenette in the Garden Suite has a blender, two burner hot plate, half size refrigerator, electric frying pan, dishes, utensils and everything you might need to prepare food. The shower in the bathroom is large and the tile is the color of the ocean. It has it's own private little garden area. Perfect for hanging your swim suit.

Sit in the garden area and check your internet (if you must) as there is wifi. Or bring a good book prop your feet up and chill. Need a good book. There is probably a mystery, a magazine or a copy of Michener's book on Hawaii on the shelf in the room. The quilts in the Garden suite are Hawaiian applique with motifs of pineapple, kukui or lauae fern.

The Garden Suite combined with the Guestroom make a two bedroom two bath unit.

There is free parking and no waiting for an elevator. There is no circling around and around in a parking garage. One guest told us that staying at the Hawaii Sheffield House was a perfect base for seeing all of the beaches on Oahu. After touring all around to many beaches they wished that they had spent more time at Kailua Beach because it was their favorite.

Note there are no hotels or motels in Kailua, Oahu. Kailua motels and hotels refer to Kailua Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii.

Kick back in the garden area and use the outdoor charcoal grill.

Visit the Thursday morning local market for fresh fruit, flowers, vegetables and sometimes fish. Thursday evening behind Longs is a food and fruit market. (Try some of the acai ice cream or olive or garlic bread or the curry dishes!)
