We stayed in the Lanai the entire time. Saw turtles every morning on the beach. Very relaxing and met many great people! Terrie the host was wonderful.

The best part of this place was its lanai and ocean front location. Appreciated all the beach equipment. We also saw sea turtles on the beach daily at dusk. From 1-19 max one day. The cottage is a set of 3 with 4 units each and part of a high rise condo complex in need of and in process of restoration. Hence the scaffolding and noisy work right behind the cottage that prevented enjoying its location during the day. (Terrie did inform us of street side work when we made the reservation and updated us that the work had moved to the backside of the cottage but unfortunately it was too late to cancel.) The interior is worn and could use a good cleaning and editing of accumulated stuff. The presumably older photos make it appear better than the reality. The exterior cottage photo is of the other 2 cottages.

The cottage delivers … it offers premium location (10 steps to the beach); a lanai to enjoy the views day and night; easy trips to the local food truck scene and the Polynesian Cultural Center. Drive a little further north, you’ll be at Dole Plantation and the Banzai Pipeline to watch surfing. Honolulu is only an hour south. We’ll definitely be back - one our best vacations !!

Perfect place to relax and enjoy the view. Great place to get away from the crowds and explore the northern area of the island. 15 min. to Kualoa Ranch where there is something for everyone

The location and description of the cottage is 100% accurate. It's a beautiful, peaceful location just steps from the beach. You're also within easy driving distance to all the attractions of the North Shore. You can easily have a morning swim, see some sights and then return for a early evening swim...or, spend the entire day at the cottage/beach.
There are plenty of food options nearby. I especially liked the kitchen at Kaya's Country Store and it's an easy walk.
Terrie is a great communicator and really cares that you enjoy your stay.

This cottage was absolute paradise.
Everything was just so wonderful - the view, the relaxation, the beach being a mere 30 feet from the lanai. We couldn't have asked for a better vacation spot.
The space is set up perfectly to feel spacious and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to make/have meals.
Many thanks to Terrie for the caring, kind, and quick communication as well.

The cottage was wonderfully comfortable and well furnished/supplied, in a great location on O'ahu. It was perfect for my short trip!.
My only concern is that the standard sized pick-up truck that I rented at HNL would never have been able to get into parking spot #16, if the slot next to it (#15) had been used. I was lucky that slot next to mine was unoccupied throughout my entire stay. The rental needs to explicitly advertise the very tight parking/maneuvering radius that goes with the assigned parking stall for this cottage, and advise renters to bring a compact vehicle.
Thanks again for the great accomodation, Terrie!

My wife and I were here for our Anniversary. It was a great cottage. Its just as described. The beach was wonderful, with opportunities to see sea turtles steps away. We would love to have been able to stay longer and will be back.

We wanted a relaxing location to getaway from the busyness of the big city, and this place was just that. 10 steps out the back patio, and you’re on the beach. The place was cool enough with the fans, and it had everything we needed to have peace of mind, including kitchen items to cook in when we wanted to. Definitely a spot to come back to.

First off, Terrie is great to work with…she’s quick to respond, answered all my questions and gave us great tips! This is a great little cottage that reminds me of a south Florida bungalow. Very comfortable and had everything we needed. The kitchen was well equipped and the refrigerator/freezer is great! This was our first time in Hawaii/Oahu and this is the coast to stay on! Easy to get anywhere on the island from here! We traveled over the entire island and saw all it’s beauty! A great week! Loved the lanai and our own beach and listening to the ocean. My husband swam with turtles! (Of course, that’s when I wasn’t in the water…Lol!) The last afternoon I was looking forward to floating on tubes and snorkeling at the beach, but alas rain came so we enjoyed just being in the lanai! Saw our only rainbow on Oahu that afternoon and got a great pic to remember our fabulous week! Mahalo Terrie!

Charming rustic cottage with a lovely lanai looking directly out to the ocean; perfect for relaxing or sharing a meal while enjoying gentle tradewinds. We fell asleep each night to the sounds of the waves coming into shore and woke to spectacular sunrises.
Our host answered our questions quickly and offered great suggestions to make our stay even more special.
Many thanks and we look forward to returning.

The location directly on the beach could not be better! The lanai is beautiful and it was so peaceful to relax while listening to the ocean waves. The cottage was well equipped and comfortable. We would stay again!

Perfect property for a couple. Although, the place is a little dated and tight, the views can't be beat. Walking right onto a beautiful beach was the best feature of this property. Terrie is a great host and called to check up on us and see if we made it in okay. She also provided great tips on where to spot turtles in the early hours of the morning.
Pros: on a beautiful beach, amazing lanai, thoughtfully furnished with all essential items, good internet, walking distance to shops and amazing food trucks
Cons: tight space, a little dated, no a/c or dishwasher, noise from neighboring units.
Overall, we had a positive experience and recommended for a couple who are willing to overlook some of the drawbacks.

Cute little cottage on the beach.
We saw turtles nesting on the beach and swam with them right outside.
Great winds kept us cool at night
Kitchen/laundry and all the amenities of home.
Terrie was a thoughtful and responsive host-even checked in on us when the power was out in the area.
The location was perfect for us to set out on adventures all over Oahu.
Fantastic cottage to use as your home base and a home away from home.
Quiet area, but life starts early on the island and you can hear roosters and people outside. Not an issue for us, we were trying to make use of every minute, but would be hard to sleep late if that’s your lifestyle .
Loved this little cottage with its beautiful lanai
