We had a great trip to Kailua and Brandyn was an excellent host. The cottage was very private and was perfect for our needs. The cottage is located in the middle of Kailua, 5 minutes to the beach and town. We got bikes to ride around on, but it is walk-able to both the beach and town. The cottage is well equipped with a full sized frig, microwave, and convection oven. One of the couches can use updating, but the bed was very comfortable. The A/C was perfect in the bedroom, and all you need to do is close the bedroom door to keep the cold air in. Brandyn was so kind that he had the windows in the main room open with the wind blowing through when we first arrived and it was a perfect temperature. He was available when needed, but also gave us our privacy. There is a semi-private yard that I enjoyed late at night, just listening and relaxing to the wind.
Kailua is a perfect place to visit and this is a perfect place to stay away from the hustle and bustle of Honolulu. We will definitely be back!
