Staying at the Beachside Cottage was absolute paradise. My only regret was not staying longer! Susan reached out to confirm our arrival time and ensure we were all set. Upon our arrival she and fellow hosts greeted us with the Aloha spirit, so welcoming. We were carless and needing to get groceries for the week and were delighted when Susan offered to let us use her car to go to the market which was close and convenient. A truly gracious host!
The cottage amenities are exactly as pictured, nice kitchen, comfortable bed, and clean bathroom. We took advantage of the lounge chairs and cooler and spent most days relaxing by the ocean. The private beach there is the best I’ve ever seen. It was perfect to be able to walk the short distance to go back to the house for more ice, make a sandwich, etc.
Hosts were right on top of any inquires we had and also let us know promptly about any other guest arrivals. The text communication was the right amount of friendly and not intrusive.
One thing that would have been good to know ahead of time is the yard maintenance schedule. Not sure if the grounds are maintained weekly or just when we were there, but if we would have known more than a day in advance, we would adjusted our activity schedule.
All in all, this was a perfect getaway. Kailua is a great little beach town. I would definitely recommend Susan and the Beachside Cottage. Absolutely wonderful! We are already planning our next trip back. :)
