We had a lovely 12 days in this tucked-away cottage on Sunset point. Close to the beach, it was easy to step out to watch the sunset every evening. The cottage had everything we needed - a full kitchen, two bikes to get around, an outdoor shower to rinse off the sand and salt, excellent wifi, and access to laundry. The little attentions made this property really enjoyable - all the basics are provided (soap, paper towels, coffee filters, plenty of linen), and the cottage was nicely decorated and welcoming. The host was great - gave us all the details on arrival and was easily available afterwards. We were happy to return to the cottage every evening to relax after a day of North Shore adventures.

I would not recommend booking with this host. We had a number of issues and overall were extremely uncomfortable for the entirety of our stay. We arrived to the home an hour after check in and noticed a message from the host stating that only small vehicles were going to work for the property and that there was no mustang convertibles allowed at all. (What we had) and also one of the most popular rented cars on the island. We messaged Joy and let her know we had this car and she told us that it was fine and no worries at all. The next day she messaged us stating we would receive a more in depth orientation about the property. We never did, yet saw her give orientations to multiple other of her guests for her other rentals in the area. Anytime you enter the home you have to open a large gate, park your car in their driveway and then go to the backyard where youll be staying. Would not recommend if you are wanting to go have a late dinner or not have to worry about tip-toing around. We heard them violently shut their windows a few times when we would simply be outside having a conversation. The lack of communication between Joy and us was a huge issue, as we were just simply not aware of many things but were constantly bombarded throughout our stay about all sorts of things we seemed to be doing wrong. Many times joys messages coming in several individual texts and not making and sense. We asked her one night about driving conditions because there were flood warnings and she responded back with “moisturizer only, not hot, just cold.” There were several other texts of this nature that just didn't make sense. Another hige thing that she messaged us about was that we had extra guests over numerous times. This is untrue as we had a guest over one time to use a charger, with her permission. A guest in which she knew personally. When i checked the listing rules, it said guests were allowed with an additional fee per night. We were never given this option nor made aware of it. The tip of the iceberg here was near the end of our stay we arrived home at about 10pm. We were dropped off by this same friend and did not have our car. We arrive to the gate and we are completely locked out. There is a chain and a bike lock around the gate. We have no access to our car or any of our things. Joy would not answer her phone or texts. We were completely alone and walked the highway in the rain for two hours to try to get to a hotel before joy finally answered.

Wonderful stay! Fantastic North Shore location steps from beautiful Sunset Beach. The cottage is small, but very comfortable. Well stocked, we had everything we needed! Host was great and very accommodating. Due to COVID-19 we had to amend our stay, she worked with us and was very caring and understanding. We stayed for 3 weeks and wish we could have stayed longer! Grill, boogie boards, bikes, beach chairs, umbrella, washer/dryer, outdoor shower.... we used and loved all of the amenities!!
A cozy little place with a great location, nice spot to relax and wish you lived on Sunset.
Everything with our stay went smoothly and the property was exactly as it was described. Our hosts were wonderful & quick to respond to any questions before & during our stay. We loved being so close to Sunset Beach it was absolutely beautiful!
We really enjoyed our stay at the Cottage. The location was perfect and we could relax and enjoy the North Shore neighborhood. The beds were very comfy and we appreciated being able to ride the bikes and walk to Ted’s whenever we wanted to. (It would have been great to have a couple of surfboards at our convenience as well.)It was a home away from home with everything you could need with both kitchen and laundry available. We also enjoyed the beach chairs and umbrella! The yard with all the plants is beautiful and very private. Overall for all three of us, it was the location just off the beach that we loved and we can’t wait to visit again. Thanks!
This was our 2nd time staying here, so we obviously like it. It's small & a bit run down, with a mini kitchen, but it's perfect for a couple who is happy to forgo a sterile condo/hotel for such a beautiful & peaceful spot just across the street from the beach. While there are two bedrooms I recommend this for just one couple as you'll want to use the 2nd bedroom for your luggage since both bedrooms are small. The private yard, free bikes, easy parking, great location & kind host make this one or our favorite spots to stay.
We arrived after dark to find a cozy beach bungalow. In the morning we discoved just how bright and airy our place was. Clean and comfortable with a full kitchen which we took advantage of every day. Just a short walk through the garden gate and we were standing on the beach. We could hear the waves from our lanai. Lots of clean towels for beach and bathing. Even an outside shower for rinsing after a swim or snorkel. The owners were available when called upon. The property is well maintained with beautiful plumeria trees and hibiscus all around. Safe, off-street parking for our rental car. A full laundry gave us the luxury of packing clean clothes. Sitting on the lanai on our last morning, we reflected on our wonderful stay at Sunset Point. Looking forward to a return visit. Aloha and mahalo to our hosts.

This place rocks. Best location on the north shore. You get to feel like you are part of the community here and not just a tourist. Everything you need is right here in the beach shack. Even our baby loved it! Thank you for a wonderful stay!
We had a fabulous stay at the Sunset Beach cottage!! We were there in June for 10 days... and we got married! It was perfect, and so romantic! Very intimate as it was only the 2 of us and the officiant & his wife, who took pictures for us. The beaches were beautiful & not very crowded. The ocean so inviting.. hardly any waves which made it easy to swim. The cottage is very private & secluded & was supplied with everything you might need. And the outdoor shower was great! The cottage really has that Old Hawaii feel which we LOVED! We are already planning to return there for our one year anniversary!!
