Our stay in the cottage was fantastic. The accommodations were just as they appear in the pictures; everything was clean and tidy. We enjoyed the nice jungle backdrop outside the breezy windows, and we didn't find the jungle noise to be annoying in any way. We enjoyed it! We made use of the wonderfully comfortable beach chairs that were provided every day of our trip. The washer and dryer were a very nice, as were the kitchen appliances. The cottage is in a great location. From the cottage, it was a few minute drive to Kailua and Lanikai beaches, and only about 25-30 minutes to Honolulu because of the short drive to the highway entrance. Kris and her family struck the perfect balance of being helpful while still respecting guest privacy. I would definitely stay at the cottage again. We had a wonderful time, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to stay on the windward side of the island.
