You absolutely cannot beat the close location to Kailua Beach! It is literally a 2-3 minute walk from your room onto one of the most beautiful beaches on Oahu! We walked the beach every morning and every evening at sunrise and sunset. Susan's backyard is gorgeous, and the pool and hot tub is so relaxing after a full day of exploring the island. Kailua is perfectly located to explore many parts of the local area, although you likely won't want to leave Kailua itself! Susan provides a wealth of wonderful suggestions on where to eat and where to visit- all of her suggestions were excellent! We would highly recommend this place!
