About Susan Bixler
Aloha. I am grateful for living in Kailua since 1966. We love to share our piece of paradise, steps to one of the most beautiful beaches on Oahu or Hawaii for that matter. Our home is an historic home (by Hawaii standards) built in 1937. We have been hosting in our cottage since 2002 and recently remodeled adding our “sandroom” in December 2012. Both the cottage and sandroom are attached to our home that we live in. Though our home is quite open we have created privacy on our side of the house as we have a large beachside yard separate from the pool area.
We take our hosting very seriously. We enjoy meeting and greeting guests from all over the world. We are available if you need us or just want to chat. We love to be invisible too and will respect your privacy and please respect our privacy.
Two (allergy free) small dogs will wander into your cottage or sandroom if your door is left open. They are too friendly; in fact I have had to confiscate them from guest’s luggage frequently. Our dogs do bark, as dogs are known to do.
I love to cook, read, watch movies, learn, go to the beach, travel, make a good cup of coffee, listen to music, entertain, appreciate art, walk, nature, listen to NPR, take in the hot tub, dip in the pool, drink wine and laugh (big doses). I love my family, friends and my dogs.
Paulo loves all ocean sports, grilling, cooking, fiddling around with different musical instruments, learning, driving his truck, eating, traveling, nature, hiking, concerts, cultural events, jiu jitsu and aspires to be a pilot. I just want to add that he has amazing dancing skills of which I am so jealous. I think he should do a stand-up comedy act. When not working, he is available to teach surfing and stand-up paddleboard.
Paulo speaks Spanish, Portuguese, little Italian and Pidgin. English spoken by Susan. I would love to speak French one day.
Susan Bixler purchased this cottage in 1990
What makes this cottage unique
My home is one house back from the beach. I feel part of the world when at the beach. When the winds are up there is kitesurfing and windsurfing. There is a wicked shore-break for surfing. Kailua Beach is truly lovely.

A little Slice of Home in Paradise
From the moment we walked in through the secured gait, we were warmly greeted by Susan and her son Paulo. Our cottage was nicely appointed and the kitchen was quite workable with every amenity you could need and that a hotel could not offer. It is just as pictured in the photos.
The bed was comfortable and rooms were spacious. The outdoor surroundings were as inviting or as private as you would desire them to be. We appreciated being a short walk (around the corner) from the beach. The luxury of having a pool and spa made for a nice "welcome back" for us weary day trippers. Supermarkets and shopping were a short car ride away. One can reach the other side of the island within 1.5 hrs to engage in other outdoor activities. We feel very fortunate that Ken and I found this cottage to spend our wedding and honeymoon in such a remarkable place. Highly recommended and hope to return back soon!!
Paridise in Kailua
We had a wonderful time in the cottage at Sandy Feet. It was perfect. It is a very well appointed, quiet and comfortable space. Susan's entire home and complex is gorgeous. We were thrilled with the access to the beach, and the access to the beautiful amenities of Susan's home. She was a wonderful host. We would highly recommend this property and would love to return someday.

Sue was amazing. The accomadations surpassed our expectations. The surroundings were beautiful. We were steps from the beach. You could not ask for a better location. We cannot wait to come back!
