My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at Susan's place. Susan was very kind and thoughtful, her home is lovely and perfectly situated, and it would be our first choice if we have the chance to stay in the area in the future. All in all, it was every bit as nice as so many other reviews suggest. For our purposes it was just about perfect - quiet, private, comfortable, lushly landscaped, beautifully decorated, and about a 30 second walk to the incomparable Kailua beach. It was also a perfect base from which to explore the area - coffee at Morning Brew, breakfast at Over Easy, lunch at Cinammon's, Super Bowl Sunday at The Shack, finding a good read at the public library's bookstore, and exploring the many parks, public spaces, and beaches in the area. In just a few days, once could feel almost like a local. If only!
