This was our first time in Hawaii. We did not know what to expect in the middle of the summer because we knew that air conditioner is not a common thing in many places. Of course, we experienced the hottest temperature in our first day there. Fortunately, the cottage has plenty of windows and doors. Kris provided two fans for the room. The humidity level is quite low so we did not feel the hot temperature much. Our entire stay was very comfortable. Kris' cottage is a perfect place to stay if you prefer the quiet and beautiful Kailua beach. It is also an easy drive to the Polynesian Culture Center and the North Shore. The cottage is only 20 min drive from the airport. Kris is an absolutely wonderful host. Her two kids, Oliver and Liam, are very friendly and respectful to the guests. The birds are wonderful too. They are not loud at all. Overall, we enjoyed our stay very much and highly recommend her place.
