Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1990
Aloha! My name is Kelly La'a and I, along with my husband, Patrick would like to welcome you to Kailua Beach Vacation Cottage. We've welcomed visitors and returning Kailua residents to our cottage since 2003. We have grown up in Kailua and know how to help you find the best in what Kailua has to offer. Our son Kai, 22, is presently (10/10) serving our country in the Army as an MP in Afghanistan. Yet, there are three of our daughters living at home, that can also help you with your stay. Kanoe, Lehua and Kaulana are also available to help you with your travel needs.
Why the Owner Chose Kailua
As lifelong residents of Kailua, we were fortunate to have a property large enough to have our parents living with us. Once they decided to go to the mainland, we started having many family and friends visit and they wanted their friends and family to visit as well... our cottage became the everyone's "home away from home"...and the traditions and the aloha continue...

Review Submitted January 24, 2012 Date of Stay January 4, 2012 Aloha, The beach house was awesome. It was so nice to stay in a place with true hawaiin spirit. From the moment we arrived, I felt at home. After meeting kelly, patrick and the girls, it was like they were part of the family. They were so welcoming, helpful, and completely in tune with all we needed. I loved walking over the dune each morning, to find our beautiful beach. Watching the kite surfers, wind surfers, paddle boards and the doggies was so much fun. The only downfall was the traffic noises when sleeping, I live in an extremely quiet neighborhood though. I would definately come back to stay, and recommend it to all.

On days when the Universe is throwing curve balls, it's lovely to have a place I can travel in my imagination where life is just perfect. I actually have two: The cottage lanai, feeling the trade winds waft through screens, listening to the birds ... and walking on the most beautiful beach in the world ... and I have done extensive comparative beaching! This beach is just steps away from the lanai and my toes have their own memories of the sea grass & soft sand ... it's a slice of heaven. And the water ... OMG ... there is no other ocean like it, not the Bahamas ... no where else. I try to schedule my "home comings" when there will be a full moon because walking that beach under a hula moon is an experience to save in the memory box ... and I have a few in there now. The La'a's have provided my home-away-from-home for years now and I can't wait to return. Mahalo for all the wonderful aloha ... and giving me a happy place that I carry always. See you soon!

Exactly as described. So close to the beach and lots of toys for the kids. Spacioius and open. Everything you need and the beach is just beautiful. Kelly and her family are great. They help you with anything you need and are just those kind of people you wish you could live next door to.

If you prefer the sounds of island life, palms rustling in the tradewinds, tropical birds and the WAVES, to the hum of re-circulated air, rent this quaint island cottage on the windward side, where you can walk to the market, a pristine beach perfect for kids and beginning body-surfing and Buzz's where you can have a garlic/parmesian artichoke and some cocktails. Pretty much the recipe for relaxation and vacation. The cottage has enough towels, bedding and amenities for a busy family of six, sand toys, boogie boards and loads of Aloha from the gracious owners. Bettah book it now brah!

This is a great house. It has EVERYTHING you will need to have a great family vacation. The pictures do not do it justice. It is 50 feet from the beach and the owners are great. We spent several evenings hanging out with them and their friends. They are a LOT of fun. You will not be disappointed with this rental

My family had a great stay at this cottage. Kelly and her family were always available for any information or recommendations we needed, and were wonderfully gracious hosts. We were a large group -- me, my husband, our 3 kids and my mother -- and though we probably were as many people as would fit, we very comfortable in the cottage. And it's tough to beat a 30 second walk to the beach! We'll definitely be back and will recommend this cottage to our friends.

I highly recommend this house for a family that wants a more "authentic" Hawaii living experience than the Waikiki hotels. We lived on Oahu for 4 years, and return occasionaly. This time we came back with the children for a 2-week stay. The house had plenty of room, and everything we needed in terms of linens, towels, beach toys, etc. The owner was very friendly. The house was clean and only 1min from the beach on foot, with private off-street parking. We will almost certainly stay here again.

The cottage is nice, clean and well-kept. Even though it is the same yard as the owner's home, it has excellent privacy. We never heard Kelly or her family during our stay. The screened-in lanai offered a 2nd bedroom for our family. It also served as our dining room for the entire stay. The cottage is spacious for our family of four. The beach is a short walk away and it is great for kids. Kelly made us feel welcome and gave us great local advice. The cottage is a good value in accomodations. Try it and see for yourself!!! Niels
