Auntie Barbara's

For our stay in Hawaii, we opted not not to stay at your usual anonymous hotel in the center Waikiki, but for a nice cottage in the idyllic town of Kailua. The guesthouse was located just a few hundred yards from the Kailua Beach and is about 30km from the international airport. The country-style cottage had 3 different apartments; one is occupied by the owners and the other two are available for rent. Common areas like the beautiful garden with a small heated pool and sun lounges and the patio with a gas barbecue are shared. We stayed there for a week and felt like we had the place to ourselves. We were the only renters at the time and we never ran into the owners.
