From check in to checkout, this home base made for an extra special and easy trip. The studio feels spacious, well ventilated, and it was sparkling clean upon arrival. The host thought of everything you could need for beach outings or staying in. The bed is a great size and comfortable! The location is perfect, because you can walk to the beach, or walk in to town, so we barely needed the car if you like walking. There is great AC but you barely need it with the amazing cross breeze. The hosts were kind, organized, and very knowledgeable. Thank you for a beautiful visit! ##### Merrielle I. Stayed 8 nights in May 2024 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marlene B. Feb 15, 2016 #### Very comfortable The cottage was exactly as described. Very comfortable bed. Easy walking or riding rusty bikes to beach, as well as walking into town to eat out. We shopped at Whole Foods and cooked at home. Nancy and Rick were helpful yet unobtrusive hosts. As long as the price remains reasonable, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this as a vacation spot. The only downside is that the property is on a busy street. It's perfectly fine when you are inside and you don't hear a thing, but we really didn't want to sit outside in the evening to have dinner. The music set up in the bungalow was awesome. Rick recommended a hike and a restaurant, both of which we really enjoyed. If I returned to Kailua, I would stay here again. ##### Marlene B. Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2016 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Colin W. Aug 25, 2018 #### Great property, central location close to beach and town with wonderful hosts! We enjoyed a relaxed and comfortable month long stay at Nancy & Ricks lovely cottage, well equipped we wanted for nothing, quiet, clean and with lovely decor the cottage provided a central location, just an easy 5 minute walk to the beautiful beach and a short 7/8 minute walk into town. We have stayed in Kailua a number of times with our family, Nancy's cottage was a great choice for the two of us, very well equipped, air conditioned, a large comfortable bed and with excellent facilities the cottage truly exceeded our expectations! From our experience we know how difficult it is to find truly well thought out and modern accommodation in Kailua - Nancy and Rick have absolutely nailed it with their cottage. Everything was provided - beach towels, sun loungers, boogie boards, Wi Fi, onsite parking - you simply couldn't want for anything more! Nancy and Rick have thought of it all so you can arrive, unpack and get straight on with your holiday......... Thank You! We highly recommend both the property and hosts - you simply won't find better! Colin & Carol ##### Colin W. Stayed 31 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mitzi L.

Also, Kailua beach was only a short walk away and the beach was so picturesque and stunning! Rick was overall very helpful and kind during our stay.

Great bed and a well equipped kitchen including a gass grill which we used often. Strategically placed between town and the beach. After an initial week of renting their great little car, we got by on bikes for grocery shopping etc. Plenty of good restaurants nearby, but we cooked in most nights. When any small problem arose Nancy and Rick fixed it quick and they were a great source of advice on where to go and what to do. Kailua beaches are fantastic and close to home.

That sparkly clean little cottage has everything that you need on your Hawaiian vacation - full size kitchen with fridge, stove, microwave, all kind of dishes; flat screen cable TV, high speed Internet, laundry room with washer and dryer, beach chairs, beach towels, a parking spot. And it’s literally 10 minutes walk from beautiful Kailua beach with water sport rentals nearby. Shopping is just in 3 minutes drive. And the hosts are very nice, pleasant people living next door, always available for anything you need. Rick gave us a few ideas about nearby hikes, Nancy provided an excellent guidance about things in the cottage. They even let us stay for extra hours after check out time on our last day so we could take a shower after a day on the beach before our late night flight back home. If we could rate that place higher then 5 out of 5 we would give it 20! Thank you Nancy and Rick for making our vacation so special and unforgettable! ##### Irina I.

Highly recommended! ##### Colin W. ### 8/10 Good #### Sean W. Jun 19, 2019 #### Cute, clean, and great location Perfect size for a couple. Short walk to beach, shopping or breweries.

Otherwise lovely place. ##### Sean W. Stayed 10 nights in May 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer M. May 25, 2019 #### Perfect vacation We had a wonderful time during our stay. This cottage was clean, quiet, and had all the amenities of home. The owners were extremely friendly and knowledgeable about places to visit. We would definitely stay here again in the future! ##### Jennifer M. Stayed 13 nights in Apr 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan L. Apr 20, 2019 #### Couldn’t have been better! My family and I had a wonderful time staying in Nancy’s cottage. The place was new, clean and safe. We took full advantage of all the amenities - nicely stocked kitchen to cook our own meals, comfy bed, cable TV, washer & dryer, AC, beach chairs, cooler, boogie boards, towels, bikes, etc. The location is central to the gorgeous beaches of Kailua and Lanikai and to Kailua town (Target, Foodland, Whole Foods, Starbucks, farmers market, and lots of restaurants). We couldn’t have been happier with our trip. Mahalo for showing us the aloha spirit and making us feel so welcomed. I hope we meet again! ##### Susan L. Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sherry A. Mar 15, 2019 #### The best of locations. Friendly, helpful hosts. We loved it. This was the ideal spot for us, a pair of retired Canadians escaping a cold winter. Imagine walking just a few blocks to a gorgeous mile-long sandy beach, and just a few more minutes walk to an even better (more swimable) beach at Lanikai. And just 10 minutes' walk the other direction to the town's shopping area, groceries, and three weekly farmers' markets. The cottage had all the basics we needed and more. And our hosts Rick and Nancy made us feel right at home there from the get-go. There's some noise from the often busy street out front, but that was hardly an issue to us. Thanks, Rick and Nancy! ##### Sherry A. Stayed 42 nights in Jan 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tracy R. Nov 17, 2018 #### Home away from home We stayed at Rick and Nancy’s cottage for 3 relaxing weeks. The cottage was fantastic! It has everything you need, inside and out. Spent mornings and evenings sitting on the lanai having coffee / cocktails. (even enjoyed sitting outside listening to the rain). Great outdoor space! The location is perfect, lots to do in the area, hiking, kayaking, biking, as well as the many other activities the beautiful beaches have to offer. Kailua and Lanikai beaches are spectacular. Great variety of local restaurants and farmers markets you could walk or bike to. Can’t say enough good things about Kailua and especially this cottage that literally felt like home! Thank you Rick and Nancy, it was great meeting you and we will be back! ##### Tracy R. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leslie G. Mar 16, 2018 #### Great Hawaiian vacation spot The space is as advertised and is well equipped with everything you need plus extras. Paper goods and cleaning supplies were in great abundance! Not their fault but because of the continued damp weather, the space never was dry. Nancy and Rick were pleasant and helpful with nice suggestions on places to dine and shop. The beach and many attractions were within walking distance and often just a short drive away. ##### Leslie G.
