This was our first trip to Hawaii with a newborn and Hale Chinen was accommodating (had a crib ready and sent us pictures so we knew what to expect) and very responsive. We loved the cottage, easy parking, close proximity to all the food and shopping we needed to do in Kailua town (we walked there many times). It was also close enough to the major highways into Honolulu so getting there was easy. Kailua and Lanikai Beach were a few minutes drive away. They had beach towels and a beach mat handy. Would love to stay here again the next time we are in Hawaii (my brother's house is one mile away, also a short walk).
