Great location opposite to sunset beach. However the one bedroom apartment had a very bad smell of mold. In bathroom, wardrobe and sink was terrible smell around and the furniture was extremely old.
We spent an 10 days staying at this peaceful cottage and loved every minute. The accommodations are spacious, comfortable, and have everything you need. It is just a short walk to some world class beaches with great surfing and swimming. After a long day at the ocean or hiking one of Oahu's beautiful trails, fall asleep in the comfortable bedroom to the sound of the waves breaking on sunset beach. The owners are super friendly and made our stay very special. We look forward to returning soon.
The cottage is simple and awesome... has everything you need. The owners are around and friendly, but not intrusive. Super close to sunset beach, pipeline and the sunrise shack which has great coffee! Panda has pretty good thai food too :)
We really enjoyed the time and the area. Porter is a cool guy and the accommodation was good.
Great location. Nice property owners.
My daughter and I loved the house and the owners. We are avid surfers and really enjoyed walking to Sunset beach. Property manager, Annastasia was great to work with and professional.
This was our second stay this year. Both times we were welcomed and made to feel like part of the family. Great, clean unit set in paradise. Porter and Anastasia are both so welcoming and easy to work with. We will always try and come back! The second time was even more awesome than the first! Mahalo and see you soon! Sati and Michael
Great hosts from the start... Great beach house with even better location. Short walk to Sunset Beach and Pipeline !
Described as “spacious, airy, and clean,” it is actually cramped, hot, and bug-infested. It is not a freestanding cottage, but a 1 bedroom apartment split off a house. It only has windows on two adjacent sides, so no cross breezes and limited natural light. Even at night, when it was cool outside, the unit remained extremely hot, and the two fans (one very small, one very weak, both covered in grime) were totally inadequate. What is described in the ad as a portable AC unit is an evaporative cooler, which works best in arid climates – which Hawaii is not. When we told Annastacia we were very hot and uncomfortable, she sent over an additional fan. However, the next day, the fan was needed for guests in another unit, so THEY TOOK IT AWAY FROM US. Annastacia said they were going to get us a new one, but a day and a half later with no new fan we decided to leave and find another place to stay. As for clean, we did find the unit to be clean when we arrived, save the gigantic dead roach in the kitchen which was being devoured by a horde of ants. There were ants everywhere, and we killed several roaches over the course of our stay. When we raised the issue of the pests, Annastacia emphasized that they don’t use pesticides – which is great, but if I had known that the place would therefore be infested with ants and roaches, I might have made a different choice about where to say. Also, if they are as concerned about the environment as they claim, they should recycle! The ad says that there is laundry for guests who stay at least 7 days. A few days before arrival, we received a list of rules, which outlined many restrictions around doing laundry. First, you can only do ONE load per 7 day stay, and any additional loads are $10 each. You can only do laundry during certain hours, only use cold water, etc. The ad says that the futon and the bed are comfortable - I found both very uncomfortable. We stayed in several vacation rentals during our trip, and this was our only bad experience. We were told by Annastacia that it was a heat wave and that everyone in Hawaii was uncomfortable but somehow, we regained comfort as soon as we left this place. Annastacia responded to the concerns we raised by making sure we understood that everything was our own fault. No apology for anything, which would have gone a long way - just excuses/blaming us. I'm sure she will do the same thing in her response to this review, so you can see for yourself.
The cottage was located close to Sunset Beach and a little food stand that sold great coffee, smoothies, and snacks. The folks that lived on the property were all friendly as were the neighbors. A Thai food truck serves good food several days of the week at the end of the lane. The owner of the property where the food truck is stationed makes carved wooden bowls, etc. In the true Hawaiian tradition.
The description in the listing is spot on. If you are looking for a resort, then you should probably keep looking, but if you'd like somewhere in a great location at a great value that is laid back and fun, then this is it. We stayed for six days in October with our two-year-old and had a great time. It was a perfect home base for exploring the beaches, food trucks, and everything the North Shore has to offer.
