This beautiful, beachfront cottage was remodeled and converted from a 1-bedroom unit into a spacious, loft studio that can accommodate 4 guests. The kitchen and bath feature upgraded fixtures, appliances, and marble counters that add extra charm and functionality to the galley-style kitchen. You will be surrounded by stunning views and cool breezes from everywhere in this 2nd floor cottage, which gives you a blissful sensation that you are outdoors even when you are inside. You may never want to leave!
This was a great place to stay. Our first 2 days were spent in Waikiki and, though it was beautiful, the crowds-noise-traffic made it hard to enjoy the experience. We stayed for 6 days Thur-Tue at the beachfront cottage in Punaluu. It was so peaceful and quiet the entire time. It took a little getting used to not having air conditioning, as it was pretty warm during our stay, but we did adjust pretty well and definitely made use of the fans that were provided. Walking 50 feet to the water and waking up to the amazing sunrise every morning, was more than we could have imagined for our first trip to the island.
A wonderful place to relax, great views & breeze, real Hawaii
Looked it up, put in my dates, everything went like it's supposed to, right place & right time like magic! Thank you so much! I'm telling everyone how great this all worked out! Always Patty & Bill
We loved this location for a low-key, relaxing stay on Oahu. It was wonderful to wake up to the views and sounds of the ocean every day and have a quiet beach right outside. Amenities were only a 5-15 minute drive away.
The second floor cottage was perfect for views, sounds of the ocean and swimming.
The unit looks just like the VRBO photos show. Although the square footage is small, the tall ceilings of the main space and many windows opening to views of the ocean are fantastic. This is a perfect cottage for 2 adults (3 max in my opinion). Very comfortable king sized bed, fouton for extra person(s)- not as comfy, compact but well stocked kitchen, and nice sized bathroom.
The windows with 180 degree views (all can be opened) of the ocean were magnificent and what we enjoyed most. The dining area is tight for more than 3 adults. That said, we were there for the views, sounds and proximity to swimming and did not care to have a huge kitchen or privacy of an extra bedroom.
The mid rise condo very close behind the 3 cottages (each 4 plexes) was fine- totally blocked any vehicle noise from the main road that was quite close but with virtually no impact when you were on the beach. Parking spot stayed cool as it was under a concrete canopy.
If youâre looking for âstandard condo fancyâ this is not it. But if you like the simplicity of old school cottages - this is perfect.
The location was great only being twenty yards from the ocean and sleeping to the sounds of nature was amazing. Construction to the condo building behind the cottage was an eyesore and limited parking spots. One of the coffee tables and both of the futon beds were severely rusted also. The host was very helpful with getting wifi to work but never got the cable to work for the TV. Overall the place needs some upgrades but worth the price.
I first came to Hawaii many years ago, for the same reason you are probably coming to visit......perfect weather all year, beautiful views from everywhere, a relaxed, ultra-healthy lifestyle, and lots of out-door activities to enjoy! Hosting in Hawaii is what I enjoy because I am a real estate agent and a retired science teacher...both careers brought me in daily contact with many people from around the world.
I used to live on Kauai, my favorite island, and when I moved to Oahu, this location was closest I could come to replicating the same lush, tropical, back-to-nature feeling Kauai has.
Location, location, location...this location has it all, except crowds and busy traffic. Peaceful and close to the beach...this is my ideal spot. See giant green-sea turtles sleep on our beach at night before heading out to sea at dawn.
