I loved staying here. It’s cute and clean, like the photos show, and feels like it’s been recently remodeled. Nice kitchen and bath. Plenty of closet space, including two tall dressers in the bedroom closet. This cottage has all the beach amenities I wanted plus, thoughtfully, some other household items I have at home but which are rarely kept in rentals. (Thank you!) Great location. Close to the beach and town. It was fun riding the bikes around, and there are plenty of safe bike lanes. Kailua turned out to be a great location—fun things to do in town (including lounging at either of two amazing beaches, Kailua and Lanikai), close to the Pillbox Hike, plus ½ hour or less to the Makapuu Point lighthouse trail and the snorkeling at Hanauma Bay. Only about ½ hour into Honolulu but far away from the crowds. This is a great beach town to stay in without feeling overly touristic. And the price is so affordable I stayed for a week. It was one of those places where the longer I stayed, the longer I wanted to stay. Barbara, James and Eddie (their dog) are all friendly, while respecting my privacy. I can’t wait to come back.

This place was PERFECT for me. Close to town within walking distance, and very safe. The cottage had everything I needed and was neat and clean. I miss my time there already. The owners are fabulous, prompt and helpful. I can’t wait to return and stay again and again!

We liked the Hula Girl very much--clean, roomy, convenient to town (with no car for first few days) and well-supplied cottage. (Cute lamp) Our privacy respected, so had long dinners and talk with our daughter who has lived on the islands for over 10 years, so we had the "quality time" we rarely get in phone calls. Wife left necklace behind but staff found it--thanks. Only concern, no A/C. On humid, 90 degree days would have been appreciated.

It was a very good and comfortable stay for a week with friends. We thank to Barbara and her family, such an honest hospitality. Surrounded by a quiet atmosphere, near the park and 10 mins walk to the Kailua beach. We often go to see the sun rising there in the early morning . Kitchen, bathroom, living room and a private room are very clean and well maintained! I indeed recommend this Hula Girl Cottage for staying in Kailua!

We loved our week-long stay at Barbara and James’ tucked-away guest quarters. It is 10 min walk from Kailua Beach Park and a 10 min walk to downtown Kailua. Perfect! The neighborhood is quiet, the quarters are clean and bright, and the side yard outside has lovely plantings. We made good use of the provided beach towels, chairs, snorkel gear, and boogie boards. The kitchenette is nicely supplied, too, and the washer/dryer was much appreciated as we packed light. The portable drying rack was perfect for beach towels and swim gear. We will definitely be back at this property! Mahalo!

The Hula Girl Cottage is fantastic! Excellent location and a beautiful, clean space. Barbara was an attentive host as well.

Love the place. Its super clean and barb was super helpful. Walkable to everything including beach and town. I would highly recommend it and stay there again

We so enjoyed our stay in the Hula Girl Cottage. Barbara has made the cottage very comfortable, with everything you need away from home. The location was perfect too, close to shopping, restaurants, and most importantly, the beach! Thank you!
