The Kailua beach cottage felt like a well-loved and thoughtfully designed family vacation home, very comfortable, without feeling like a corporate impersonal antiseptic hotel. The location is spectacular, just steps to the swim and surf friendly beach. The main room has a 3 sided wrap-around view, and excellent cross-ventilation. Everything worked well: the washer/dryer, dishwasher, plenty of hot water, reliable internet for streaming. The extras were great! Awesome goodie basket with fresh pineapple and bananas as well as chips/snacks/treats, beach towels chairs and mats, many self-care products like sunscreen, makeup remover towelettes, and bug repellent. Angeline was very kind, available when we needed her, and quietly non-intrusive. Her local restaurant recommendations set us up for several delightful experiences. Staying in Kailua was like being in a small town, with a the laid-back ambiance instead of the Waikiki hustle and crowds. Restaurants and shopping were within 3-5 minutes drive. We felt like we were in Paradise.
