We stayed at Susan's for 6 nights in the Sandroom and absolutely loved it. Right from the start Susan and her son Paulo were welcoming and friendly and made us feel comfortable. The room was great and all that we needed. The pristine beach is only a minutes walk away and Susan has deck chairs and umbrellas for use. We walked into Kailua each night for dinner which took about 20 minutes but is an easy walk. Susan also has bikes but we didnt end up using them. There are plenty of options in terms of restaurants, and Susan will recommend her favorites. We were able to wash a load of clothes in Susan's machine which was a great help. The pool/spa are great but to be honest we didnt make use of them too much as we preferred body surfing in the ocean! Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a beachside location without the crowds!
