I'm fussy -- don't need glamorous digs, but appreciate clean, tasteful, and well-maintained places. This was all of those things. Seriously found nothing that wasn't completely clean and in good working order! Very comfortable, and very convenient to beaches and restaurants. Also, it only takes 20 minutes to drive to Honolulu, but Kailua has a great small-town feel. I felt more like a resident than a tourist. Barbara was very quick to reply to communication. Check-in was very easy. She was perfectly helpful as needed, but left me alone appropriately. Highly recommend this cottage!
