Kailua cottage is a great place from which to stage your activities while visiting Oahu. The cottage is centrally located in Kailua providing quick access to local shopping areas and to other well know beaches on the windward side (Kalama, Kailua, Lanikai, Waimanalo, Bellows AFB). The kitchen is fully equipped for the times when you want to eat in. It has a washer and dryer, and outside shower. The unit can be opened to take advantage of natural ventilation from tradewinds, but also has adequate A/C and fans if needed otherwise. Not only is it a few minutes walk to Kalama beach, it also comes equipped with many of the beach-items you need during your visit (towels, chairs, umbrellas, cooler, boogy-boards, outside shower, etc.). The windward side of the island is beautiful, and from Kailua cottage you can easily get to the north shore or even the leeward parts of the island when you desire.
