The location was the best I can think of. Just across the street from the beach. I was a bit worried about the street noise, but the new windows blocked them perfectly. The drivers on the road are generous enough to wait for you until you pull out your car from the driveway. No rush like where I live. I also loved the coziness of the cottage. Bob was such a kind person and gave us great tips about places to visit and local restaurants nearby. It was the exact Kailua beach house experience I expected. Humble, rustic, and local beach house. Will be back!
