## Location: Perfect
Less than 1 minute walk to the peaceful beach. Less than 10 minutes drive to the Kailua Town with a lot of good restaurants, supermarkets and the Sunday morning farmers market.
## Amenities: Perfect
Had everything to spend a holiday near the beach, exactly as listed in the airbnb page.
Apart from the shower in the bath room, there is an outside shower on the ground where we can wash sands away after swimming before entering our room.
We had been a bit worried about the lack of AC until we arrived, but it turned out to be fine. It’s great to experience how the island architecture with jalousie louvre windows and a screed door works. The trade winds from the North East felt so good. There also are ceiling fans and electric fans in each room. If you are sensitive to the noise of fans, we recommend you to bring a pair of earplug for each family member. It may spoil the experience of “waking up with the sound of ocean waves”, but we chose to use the earplugs while sleeping. Anyway, we were immersed in those sounds of waves and rustling leaves from the moment we woke up. We could even become able to distinguish the rustling of palm trees from the rustling of nearby trees with softer leaves.
## Hospitality: More than perfect
As everyone writes in the review, it’s Angelene’s hospitality that made our experience special.
We could feel Angelene acting to make us feel welcomed, comfortable and happy from her big warm heart. From the moment she greeted us in person when we checked in, she kept communicating with me, my wife and our son by asking us if everything’s fine. I could see my wife almost crying when Angelene hugged her when we said good-bye.
Visiting Hawaii had been one of our dreams, but coming back to this cottage is added to that dream list again.
