J&B's Haven
Brits Joan and Barbara Webb have had a successful bed-and-breakfast on Oahu
since 1982. Barbara, who has lived in Hawaii since 1970, and her mother Joan, who moved to
Hawaii in 1981, are both knowledgeable about Oahu's attractions and love introducing guests
to the Hawaii they love. Their beautiful house in Hawaii Kai is just 15-minute car ride to
Waikiki. It's close to Hanauma Bay, Sandy Beach, and Sea Life Park, and is within easy reach
of three shopping centers with excellent restaurants. The house features two rooms: the large
master bedroom, with private bathroom, king-size bed, minifridge, and microwave; and a
smaller room with private bathroom, queen-size bed, small fridge, and microwave.
Note:
This
is a smoke-free house. Two very friendly dogs live inside, so if you're allergic to canine house-
mates, you might look elsewhere.

THE WINDWARD COAST
The windward, or eastern, side of the island is where the trade winds blow, rain squalls sup-
port lush, tropical vegetation, and subdivisions dot the landscape. The communities of Kailua
and Kaneohe dominate here. Bed-and-breakfasts (ranging from oceanfront estates to tiny cot-
tages on quiet residential streets) abound. This is the place for “island” experiences—but
you're still within a 30-minute drive to Waikiki.
