This is a great place to stay. The view from the deck is spectacular and the bird songs add to the peacefulness of the surroundings.
This is a great place to stay. The cottages are on a hill above the owners house which is a little bit odd at first but the property feels separate and more like neighbors. You are very lucky if you get to stay here. The ocean view is spectacular and way better than pictures can show. There is thick jungle to your back and waking up to the sounds of the birds and the
jungle is an amazing start to the day. The outside shower was even amazing. My kids loved the spa. Staying here was definitely one of the highlights of our vacation.

The two cottages were a perfect place for us to unwind after our daily activities on Oahu. We spent most of our family time on the deck, having enough space for our 3 young adult children to spread out and enjoy themselves. The inside of each cottage will only provide you room for sleeping, food prep and showering, as they are small, but with the deck and view, there is no need for being inside while you are in Hawaii! We used the grill for a few meals, relaxed in the hot tub and watched TV on the deck, while enjoying a great vacation with our family of 5. Thank you Micah for a great place to stay on our vacation!

The location for us as to what we wanted to see and do was perfect, the accommodations not so.They really need to have a stove instead of a much used plug in two burner hotplate, a toaster oven that had rust on the inside and a plug in griddle that we had to clean. You needed to use one appliance at a time or it would trigger the circuit breaker, few outlets but many extension cords.The outside grill had leftover fish remains that we had to clean before using.The outside lanai was very accommodating with great views but if the weather were inclement there was no place to sit inside as we had to use the futon as a bed because the ladder to the loft was not secured and the loft was not habitable for an adult .We had the suite at the top of the property, it had no dresser or hooks to hang anything, no plumbing in the unit.The walk to the toilet area with a laundry tub as a sink had no lighting so needed a flashlight, the outside shower needed to be cleaned.There was no usable firepit as shown on the website, they had placed it under the deck with supporting beam on top.

This garden property was perfect for our family of four (two adults, two kids under 10). We loved the outdoor living and dining area, and hot tub. It was so hard to leave this peaceful, treetop oasis. Selfishly I hope this place doesn't become popular. I hope to visit again.
A great place to stay, especially if you need a base to see the tourist sites. Was prepared from the other reviews for a Pike’s Peak experience but the stairs aren’t that serious. Wasn’t adventurous to try the outdoor shower but the deck is AMAZING! Highly recommended!
My wife and I stayed in the main cabin, our 13 year old daughter had the smaller cottage. We had a terrific week in Oahu and it was great to have this place as our home base in Hawaii Kai. My brother and his wife have also stayed here and they love it as well. It’s just what we were looking for, listing was spot on.
Centrally located. House and. Area very nice. Very comfortable. Drove to Kailua for restaurants.
Really enjoyed this property, it’s a great value for the money and is in a very great location close to many beaches, hikes and shops.
The small kitchenette offers everything to cook up a small meal, complete with staple spices. A grill is available as well.
The view in the pictures does not do it justice, you need to experience it for yourself. And the neighborhood is safe and quiet.
There is even a washer/ dryer on the property if you need it. And the outdoor shower is wonderful, took multiple showers during my stay.
The hosts have done a great job in making sure all of the guests needs might be accounted for.
The only possible negative might be the climb up to the cottage from the drive way so if mobility is an issue would not recommended.
Definitely ended up feeling like a home away from home and would definitely stay here again if coming back to Hawaii.
Property was beautiful, However wish I had known exactly what a climb it would be. Certainly not a place for elderly or people with mobility issues.
This was a beautiful property in East Honolulu that was perfect for our family. The neighborhood is close to lots of locations/beaches/parks and hikes. We slept well on the beds, enjoyed the outdoor shower, relaxed in the hammock, enjoyed the hot tub, and appreciated the amazing views/climate in this location. The location is quiet, and we really appreciated being close to things but feeling away from it all. The kitchen has most things one needs, and the hosts provided many things helpful for the beach (chairs, boogie boards, towels), as well as just living (detergent, bug spray, etc). We would definitely stay here again!!
The homes and location could not be any better. The homeowners were wonderful and very helpful. The home had everything we needed to have a joyful vacation. The only thing that you should know before booking is the home is on a steep mountain. Only reserve is the entire party can climb many stairs. Once you get to the top it is all worth it.
The house was just what we needed. The location was perfect with access to restaurants and we loved the outdoor space , especially the view. It was relaxing to come to in the evenings and sit outside ( we were there to visit family so we were gone most of the day). It was well stocked with everything we needed. We would definitely like to stay again on our next trip.
The pictures of this property don’t do it justice. The deck was amazing and we spent all our time on it. From bbqing to reading in the hammock, to watching movies from the hot tub. It was magical. It felt like being in a really upscale treehouse. I would recommend this place highly, and great location to stay when hitting all the highlights on the island. We would definitely stay here again!
We absolutely loved our stay at Mica’s. Great area. Centrally located. Everything provided. Mica and his family were gracious hosts. Yes!! We will return.

If you like to get away from resorts and crowds and get a feel for how it is to live in a gorgeous home in Hawaii then this is the place to stay. The house was very clean and well stocked with things in the kitchen, towels, beach chairs and more. The outdoor shower and ocean/mountain views from the deck were the highlights for me. The property is very peaceful and beautiful. Hosts were very helpful and responsive. Check in was super easy. It was hard to leave to do activities during the day because the space was so inviting. A short drive down the hill brings you to lots of good restaurants and stores. I highly recommend a stay!
Cute out the way private place. I recommend somewhere closer if your looking for excitement but for the most part I would definitely advise getting a car to get around and take the drive to Sandys Beach to watch the local surfers.
