You can find parking on Ainoni Street, walk accross the street and Kai One is a beach path you can walk down to freely access this lovely, local favorite beach.
Just a mile or so away, visit lovely Kailua Town, with many very popular ethnic restaurants, wonderful shops for unique conversation pieces to bring home, or lovely boutiques for clothing and swim wear.

Our family of four truly enjoyed our stay. The property is well maintained and equipped with everything you could possibly need. Located in the proximity of one of the most beautiful beaches, yet in a driving distance from Honolulu. Thank You Susan for making us feel at home during our first visit to Oahu. We hope that we will come back soon.

We loved this little cottage. The owner respected our privacy and we only had contact with her when we needed something. (supplies, etc) The place was just as described in the description and photos. It was chean and eveything that we needed was included. We would highly recommend this cottage to a couple, whether young or old. Very close to amazing Kailua Beach and handy for travel to the North Shore or Honolulu.

Just returned from the best 5 weeks of my life. Have been to every island and Oahu 10 times, nothing compared to the Kalama Kai or Susan. The location is perfect. If you are seeking perfection and total relaxation look no further.

We have stayed in Kailua a number of times and were delighted to find this excellent accomodation for us. It's quiet, local, very well equipped and an easy going, non touristy base to explore the island from or just a short walk to the fabulous Kailua beach. Susan was both welcoming and helpful but lets you get on with it. The nearby beach was the most beautiful we found on the island, and within walking distance. Perfect. We're already saving for our next time at Kalama Kai Cottage.

The month of November was delightful (3rd sojourn at Kalama Cottage) -- couldn't ask for a more charming hostess or a more pleasing home away from home. The cottage is always sparkling clean, the garden wonderful, the lanai the best place in the world to enjoy a meal. And there is everything you would need for your trips to the beach. My household has moved back to Kailua and really really regrets there will no longer be a reason to stay at Kalama Kai Cottage.

Your cottage is absolutely fantastic! It's quiet, private, comfortable & clean. We loved our stay the Month of January. Weather was great! We enjoyed eating breakfast & dinner on the lanai everyday. We loved being able to read and relax on the lanai. The beach down the street is our new favorite. We hate to leave... Thanks again for your hospitality- We appreciate it. We will be back next year! Keep up the good work!

Absolutely Fabulous! A tropical "home away from home".

My husband & I just got back after spending a week at Kalama Kai Cottage and we couldn't have possibly been more pleased with the accommodations! Everything was exactly as pleasant as pictured here, if not more so! This is ever so much better than staying at a hotel! We sat on the lanai in the mornings to have coffee and watch the various birds and lizards running around and then again in the evening to enjoy the cool breeze while reading. Why anyone stays in Waikiki and goes to a crowded beach when they can stay in Kailua and enjoy a picture perfect, uncrowded beach is beyond my imagination. If you are looking for a great place to stay and really get away from the hustle and noise of the city and truly have a relaxing time, you have got to stay at Kalama Kai. I can honestly say, this is one of the very few times where I really didn't want to return home after being gone for more than just a few days. Susan ~ Mahalo for allowing us the joy of staying at Kalama Kai. It was truly a wonderful stay!

Quite Pleased - Nice Get-Away

We went to Kailua for a wedding and we were so happy to not be staying in the tourist trap of Waikiki (though it is a 20-minute beautiful drive to visit the city). The cottage is everything it is advertised to be and the owner is pleasant, accommodating, and respects your privacy. It was a great, relaxing oasis, with everything you need to cook, do laundry (so you can bring a small carry-on suit case) and focus on enjoying the island. When going to Oahu, we'd definitely stay there again.

Mahalo to Susan and MoJo. We spent two months at Kalama Kai and loved it so much we want to move to Kailua. Everything you could possible want on a vacations is there and the cottage has such an Aloha spirt. Looking forward to seeing her and MoJo soon. Sandy

Love, love, love Kalama Kai Cottage. I was there early November 2009 and have already reserved time for April 2010. What an absolutely enchanting and wonderful way to relax and enjoy Hawaii. Susan and the Cottage are "island spirit" personified. As a former Kailua resident (just a few miles from the Cottage) I couldn't have asked for more. The Cottage is clean, very, very comfortable and chock full of amenities; the full kitchen was particularly appreciated (a real stove, not just a hot plate; a full size refrigerator, not tiny under-counter version); the garden is beautiful and lush, the fountain soothing, the tiki torches a nightly delight; and lots of goodies to use at the beach. Susan is charming and extremely helpful, I can't wait to go back to visit both she and Mojo. Kalama Kai Cottage is highly recommended; this is the best I've found in 15+ vacations in Hawaii.
