This was a perfect fit for our family to stay in, the kids were fine sleeping on these sofas in the lounge, the staff were easily available at the office across the street if we needed change for the washers or anything, the cottage and patio were such a great, relaxing place to stay for a week in order to enjoy our favorite beach area on the island- Kailua.
Even in August, there were great ceiling and stationary fans in the cottage as well as good air circulation with the windows open so we didn't need to turn on the air-conditioner most nights.
It takes about 5 minutes to walk or drive to Kailua beach from the cottage and it's about a 10 minute drive (20 minute walk) to Lanikai beach, or the pillbox hike trail.
Great shops a short drive away: Down to Earth for healthy foods, smoothies and amazing vegetarian buffet. Safeway, Foodland and Times supermarkets nearby as well as Wholefoods. For eating out, our favorites were Wholefoods and Down to Earth buffets for quick family meals when everyone wants something different; Zippy's restaurant for great local food offerings; Buzz's steakhouse (near the beach) for something a little special- grilled fish of the day is outstanding! And of course we ate and shopped at the great local Kalapawai beach market for drinks, snacks and sandwiches for our days on the beach.

This cottage is a fantastic place to stay for a few days to enjoy the quiet calm in the morning and evening while taking in the best beach on the island during the day- I highly recommend it!
