So, let me start by the location. It’s on the north eastern side of the island, very calm and chill area. No Waikiki crowds to deal with. When you drive into the place is not much to look at until you walk into your cottage. Easy self access with the lock box and good instructions. The views are beautiful. From this side of the island you get the sunrise view. The unit is self is very well appointed, blankets and sheets are clean and comfortable. The place had condiments and all the basics so no need to bring. In addition, there were beach towels, chairs and other stuff to use on the beach which was steps away. There is no AC.. but I have to note, the winds you get from the open windows are awesome and all you need are the fans, I didn’t mind it at all. We slept with the windows open listening to the ocean breezes. Pure Hawaii experience and splendor. I would stay again.
This place was perfect for our needs. Away from the crowds, and quiet (although there was construction going on, it didn’t bother us one bit). Waking up to that sunrise every day, oh my goodness, breathtaking! Easy check in and check out. The place has beach chairs, beach towels, shower towels, two beach umbrellas, surfboards and a few beach toys as well. Everything you might need at the beach. One thing we did take was a backpack cooler for the beach days away from the cabana. We loved staying here. Highly recommended.
Good place to enjoy the country feeling of Hawaii. Food trucks where great. Nice family vacation spot
Our stay was wonderful! Paola was easy to communicate with and everything was as expected with the property. Enjoyed snorkeling and seeing lots of sea turtles on the beach! The area was very nice with lots of cool beaches and food trucks along the highway. Would absolutely stay here again when we visit Oahu again! Mahalo nui loa!
Our family enjoyed our stay at this beautiful beach cottage. There was a lot of construction going on which was a little disappointing but other than that, we were pleased.
We enjoyed our stay here. Definitely worth a visit. The initial impression was a bit off-putting. The cottage is nestled amongst large condo buildings and a large parking lot. It did not have the remote location the pictures gave us the impression of. After cruising Oahu it became apparent that this is remote for the Island. The cottage was nice, but we could hear our downstairs neighbors music all day. The lack of blinds for windows on the ground in the living room make it hard to get complete privacy. Overall we liked the place, but it did seem like a slight bait and switch. Overall, I wouldn't return to Oahu (prefer the Big Island), but if I did I'd consider renting this spot, again.
This is the second time we have stayed at this development but the first time in this specific cottage. I love the area…no crowds and perfect location on a private beach. Definitely not fancy and there is no night life, but I knew that going in and prefer a more lowkey stay anyway. I would stay here again, but there a few things keeping it from being perfect for my family. 1) Lack of AC was tough in the middle of August when it is super hot and humid…even with all windows open and running the fans. The only relief was sitting directly in front of a fan. Perhaps if it was a different time of year it would be fine? 2) The access code provided on the VRBO app was different from the access code provided in a separate email. However, when I called the host she was very helpful and kind. The email had the correct one, ignore the VRBO app! 3) While the cottage is very cute and tastefully decorated, EVERY surface is filled with knickknacks or decoration. There was nowhere for my family of four to put our stuff! I ended up just moving alot of the items to one area so that we had room on the tables, etc. to put stuff. Remembering where to put it back to when we left was a challenge! Lol! All in all it was a nice place to stay and a reasonable price for the location and beautiful view!
Front beach, quite & peaceful. We really enjoy the place. Very clean and well organized, Self check was easy, confort parking, great communication. Always prompt by phone. Many details, accomodation have many options. Romantic & confort
The room was great and the views were even better! I have no complaints with our 7 night stay .. not having air conditioning was not an issue at all and I'm a big guy! Overall highly recommend!!! Will stay here again for our next trip to Oahu!
This place was just as it shows and says! Beautiful beach ocean view and the place is perfect for 2 or more people. If you stay go down the street to Aloha shrimp it's walking distance and it's also amazing!
Overall a good stay. Beautiful location. Needs a small AC unit to keep K-3 cooler.
This place was amazing. The only down fall may of been that there is no ac. It can get a little warm through out the day but with the windows open and the breeze it is very nice in the evening and overnight. I though it was a ground level unit but it is second floor which is not a huge deal but the ground level units have a porch facing the ocean. Absolutely amazing view from inside the unit. This is truly a slice of paradise. Must rent.
The space was a little smaller than I expected but it was very clean and the view was amazing! The construction was a little annoying in the mornings but not a huge issue. Overall, I would definitely rent again!
Husband and I rented this cottage for our honeymoon and it was more amazing than we could of dreamed of! Super cozy, clean, and beautifully decorated. It has GORGEOUS ocean views from the bedroom and livingroom area. Woke up to the sun beaming on us (if you choose to leave curtains open), and the sounds of the ocean every morning. The ocean breeze from the wrap around windows is incredible! Kitchen comes fully stocked with pots, pans, glasses, dishware, and utensils. Not to mention a toaster, blender, coffee pot, and so much more. Literally anything you could need to make meals except the food itself, although they did include basic condeminents in the fridge and even coffee and seasonings in the cupboards. They also provide snorkeling gear, goggles, and bodyboards to use while on the beach. The site manager Paula was very friendly and quick to respond when we needed her. We had a mix up in which laundry room was ours to use (totally our mistake after a long day in the sun) and she helped us to resolve it immediately. We definitely plan on bringing the kids with us on our next vacation to Hawaii, and there's no other place we could imagine staying.
The ocean views from this small studio are great and it is in front of a nice swimming beach with few people - and the nightly rate is reasonable. The negatives, however, are significant. It is essentially the second floor of a cottage in front of an ugly 1970s mid-rise condo in need of repairs (which were loud and happening). The apartment has not been renovated or improved since the Beatles broke up. Garish colors and stuff everywhere - useless furniture like TV tables and empty baskets taking up precious space. The apartment needs a deep cleaning, repainting, trashing half the stuff, and new furniture. Shower area needs re-calking and just did not feel clean. The bed was an old mattress with a foam topper put on and cheap, synthetic thin sheets that barely fit. Two terrible pillows like sleeping on the King James bible. Uncomfortable chairs. There is no A/C and the instructions require you to close all windows whenever you leave - which is a hassle and results in it being very warm when you return. None of the large windows in the living area open and the lower casement windows don't open well. While there is a breeze, it was often hot inside and at night a bright security light shines right into the bed so you need to keep the blinds closed and can't get maximum breeze. No balcony so you go downstairs to the beach. While it has many windows on all sides, it affords little privacy. No dedicated chaise loungers for the apartment. I would pay more money for an updated, freshened apartment with some outdoor space and A/C instead of this one.
