Amazing Getaway
We can't wait to come back! The cottage is petite and lovely, with ocean views and a lanai that is just steps from the water. The kitchen had everything we needed. Our host, Terrie, was proactive about communicating with us regarding some construction happening during our stay on an adjacent building, which we sincerely appreciated. Terrie also checked in with us during our visit to make sure we had everything we needed. We'd absolutely recommend this little oasis to friends and family, and we can't wait to return!

Perfect Hawaiian get-away
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 Location
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.

Perfect!
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.

Great Getaway Spot to Relax
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.

Couldn't ask for anything else for this little GEM on Oahu. It is great to get away from the hussle of Waikiki and enjoy the North Shore. This little bungalow is right on the beach! Perfect romantic place for a simple get away!

Great location
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.

Relaxing in Paradise
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.

About the host

Hosted by Terrie

Host profile image
I have lived in Hawaii all my life (4th generation)and finally got a place near the ocean to enjoy in my Senior years. I spend days here and have a difficult time going back to my city house. I love fishing and swimming and can watch my fishing pole from the living room, however, now I can also enjoy the sound of the waves, the beautiful mornings and lovely sunsets from my little Hale.

Why they chose this property

I have rented beach houses all the way down the shore of Punaluu, Hauula, and Laie. This area was always my favorite because of the excellent beach that is never crowded. To be able to stay in my swim suit all day going into the water, out to cook, into the water, out for a drink and back into the water is the true Hawaiian Lifestyle.

What makes this property unique

This little cottage actually is enjoyed by all my family and friends. It is just the right size to and is just be an intimate hideaway. The right music at sunset will make for a wonderful memory.
