Breathtaking Ocean Views Beach Cottage

Beach was exceptional, room was lovely and eclectic, beautiful view from the many windows in the room.

The condo is in a great location right in front of the beach, which was a major highlight. However, the unit itself needs quite a bit of updating and care. Some fixtures, like the mirror and wall hangings in the bathroom, did not feel secure and fell off the wall.While the space generally matched the listing, it felt outdated and not very appealing upon check-in. There was also significant construction happening in the building in front of the condo, which impacted the overall experience. This was something that iI was informed about a few days before my check-in.Overall, the location is excellent, but the condo would benefit from more attention, maintenance, and updates.

Love this place, my favorite location on the island

This an excellent cottage to stay in and allows for convenient exploration of the Northshore as well as South and West Oahu. The Cottage was clean upon arrival, and is beautifully and thoughtfully decorated, which we enjoyed. We felt very much at home. The property is well kept, and we never heard sounds of the road or construction in the larger building that’s nearby. We had an unobstructed view of the Ocean and the atmosphere of the entire property is quiet, with families just having a great time. The kitchen is well equipped. There is a queen bed and two twin beds, we tried all, and the mattresses are in good condition. There are plenty of towels, and also plenty of beach gear: chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards and snorkeling equipment. We used everything daily and all was in excellent condition. The communication with the host was seamless through the app. Overall we had a wonderful time and are already planning a trip back for the summer!

We had the most perfect view of the ocean and we also got to see turtles everyday in the mornings. There is a nice area where we barbecued and enjoyed the sound and view of the ocean while eating. Will definitely come again.

The ocean views are breathtaking.

Place was as described, had everything we needed plus a few extra staples and household goods. Communication was quick and friendly. We had a great time and really enjoyed being right on the beach - it was so easy to go snorkeling and we got to swim with a bunch of sea turtles.

Location was beautiful! Pool was quite cold but the studio apartment set up, quiet location and views were all spectacular

Amazing close access to super amazing and more calm beaches for waves which is ideal for middle age kids who aren't as water savvy. Excellent towels with sugar and coffee filters and pancake syrup to help first settling in. Backpack Beach chairs in closet were genius. Fans were loud but i didn't mind as it helped drop the temp in this second story condo unit to keep the temps down. The view was a wild sight every morning to a fresh cup of coffee that you can grind up yourself with the blender. Lots of turtles here and not crazy for rocks when in the crystal blue turquoise water. The few rock perches there are is where the turtles hang out.Only slight thing to note is that there are not two bedrooms, its one open room that has a sliding divider to divide the larger bed in the partition from the trundle bed that pulls out a separate bed underneath it. Nothing wrong with it at all as easily sleeps for four just hard to understand "bedroom 1 / bedroom 2" from the pics of the listing.Still worked amazing for our home base needs to explore oahu for the first time. Absolutely great for other families of 4!

It was truly our perfect home away from home! There aren't words enough to say how amazing the view is and such a lovely beach. Plus there's so much to do within easy driving distance. And! A wonderful host to make everything about the stay as easy as possible. Thank you!

Awesome location and house but seems a little neglected. It coukd be the perfect place but for poor building management. Simple but important repairs needed. Fan remote missing, lights didnt work in main living space, windows didnt open, broken beach chair, broken trifold door, confusing laundry room situation (combo given but door has a key lock).

It was wonderful!

We had the absolute best stay here! It’s a quiet location with an amazing beach steps away and driving distance from other breathtaking beaches. We saw turtles right next to us on the beach. The sunrise view from the beds here are amazing. It does get a little warm but with the fans and windows open it was fine, even in mid July. Check out Kaya’s market (5 min walk) for great local breakfast or lunch! 2 min drive to coffee cove which was also amazing. There is everything you need for a beach day supplied here (towels, snorkels, chairs, everything!). Couldn’t have asked for anything better here! Beds are comfy too.

Nice beach cottage right Infront of the beach. Always plenty of space on the beach. Everything you’d need in the cottage. Snorkels, boogie board, cooler, towels etc. we left our floaty behind for someone else to enjoy. Waking up in a beautiful colored room was nice. Lots of turtles beached early morning and after dark, to walk by and see. It definitely gets hot in the cottage. So keep blinds and windows closed during the day when you’re gone in order to help a bit. The fans help as well, that they provide. And this area is close to so many cool things to do, and see.

It’s a great place for a small family. There was four of us and it worked well especially with the kids being younger. We were only there to eat and sleep, so it worked. It’s a little more of a drive to restaurants and activities. We are always wanting to stay away from the bigger city and this was perfect. Great location with access to the beach. Had some basic beach equipment available to use. Hoping for future visits able to stay here again.

The cottage itself is the second story of the two-story unit. The inside is very attractively decorated Hawaiian beach motif. It hadeverything you could need in a beach apartment with chairs, towels, umbrellas, body boards, etc. masks fins. snorkel. The apartment itself is a bit of a sauna, it’s soaks in that sun and with the humidity of the beach it is very warm and sticky. The owner has yet to fix two windows that would allow more Breeze into the apartment, I really hope she fixes them now for future guests. The main bed mattress is absolutely horrible, it’s so soft. You cannot even sit on the side without falling off. That mattress must be replaced with a proper sleeping mattress. Other than those issues, the cottage has a very secluded beach, you hear the waves all night long and feel the ocean breeze all night long and is fairly secluded. Very cute very quaint. I have a two

We loved our stay here. You really are right on the beach; I was wondering if the pictures would be accurate but the beach is even BETTER than pictured. A magical time for our family. Book it!

Thank you Paola for letting us stay at your place, it is such a cosy cottage with absolutely everything we needed. The view is amazing, quiet place, but close to North shore fun, Kualoa ranch, Polynesian center… If we ever come back, would book it here again.

The apartment was cute and to us the perfect location. Easy to drive to from the airport and easy to find. It's away from the city and directly on the beach. There were beach chairs and umbrellas provided. The surrounding area and neighbors are very quiet. I would not say this listing is a cottage. When I thought of cottage I thought of a stand alone structure. There are a total of 4 apartments, together that stand apart from a larger apartment building. This wasn't a deal breaker; we were expecting a stand alone, with an area to sit outside on a patio and relax. The apartment was clean and stocked with everything we needed. I will say we over looked that there is no A/C and 2 of the 3 windows in the main room didn't open to let in that much needed air flow. Sleeping at night was okay because it did cool off. Communication with the host was a let down. I contacted the host months in advance requesting an early check-in. Host was willing to work with me. I reminded them again right before we left and the morning we landed. Instead of being transparent and telling me an early check-in was not possible or there would be an additional fee, they left me on the hook with vague answers, then no answers. That was frustrating and unnecessary It's okay to say that cannot be accommodated or there's a fee. Do not leave your client in limbo. Overall, our group of 4 was happy with the stay and made everything work. We'd stay again.

Beautiful place & location,

This property was perfect! Great location, very comfortable. I loved laying in bed and listening to the ocean all night. You are just a few steps away from the ocean.

Location is good and very quiet. Bed needs upgrading and windows need to be fixed so they can open. No AC so cross ventilation is only cooling.

This place is in the most beautiful spot. Sorkling, swimming and watching turtles meant we had entertainment on our door step. The only thing to comment on is its small for a family of 4. The description of 1br is pushing the truth a little. Its more like a studio apartment. The kitchen is small with little cupboard room. In saying that i would book again in a heart beat.
