We loved the walks to the pristine beaches, the view from the lanai while we ate breakfast, and the trips to explore other sights on the island. I have recommended this property to friends and I hope we can enjoy Noni's hospitality in the future. ##### mary ann s.

This hawaiian style cottage is in the perfect location. It's just up the hill enough to have fantastic views and only a 5-10 minute walk to the most gorgeous beach. We swam every morning on nearly deserted Lanikai beach. It's a great base to explore Kailua and Oahu too. It's a great value considering Lanikai has some of the most expensive real estate around! The owner lives right there and is a wealth of information. ##### Michelle M.

My husband and I and two kids under 4. The cottage is comfortable and lovely and the location is great - there's a view and a breeze, but its still close to the beach. Its also a great location on the island. Away from the tourists in Waikiki and an easy drive to everything. Lots of great shops and restaurants in Kailua. And Noni was wonderful. Will definitely stay again! ##### Lindsay S. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer C., San Rafael, CA Jul 11, 2011 #### Love it! My husband and I have actually stayed here twice. We stayed in July of 2009 and came back June 2011. The cottage is very private, insanely close to the beach, and immediately feels like home. The view is spectacular and the breeze that fills this windward house is really something. I really recommend this cottage for a vacation that you'll never forget! I miss it already. ##### Jennifer C. ### 10/10 Excellent #### David R. Feb 8, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cozy cottage with great views Noni’a cozy cottage offered perfect views of the Mokulua Islands off Lanikai Beach from sunrise of sunset. As promised, it was an easy walk downhill to both Lanikai and Kailua beaches—which were spectacular for swimming, snorkeling and kayaking—and walking. The bedrooms are separated by only a sliding partition, so if four people, best they be close friends, as we were. We took advantage of Noni’s Oahu knowledge to find excellent, less touristic restaurants in Honolulu—as well as great beaches for snorkeling. Local favorite, Buzz’s Steakhouse, across from Kailua Beach, earned several meals. ##### David R. Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### William B. Aug 13, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Everything you need We are a family of four with 2 kids under the age of 13 and couldn't have had a better experience. The house is about as convenient to both Lanikai and Kailua as you can get, easy walk or bike to both. It is a perfect combination of relaxed decor, cleanliness and amenities. Everything you need for the beach and day to day living is there, readily available and works. It's an easy place to relax in and be comfortable. The view is fantastic. Noni is the best and the best combination of hosts, warm, receptive and prompt in answering questions. Hands down one of the best stays we've had and wouldnt hesitate to stay again. ##### William B.

Aug 4, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfection in Lanikai This was our 19th visit to this side of Oahu, and also our best. Everything was as promised. The view is unbelievable. The unit was clean and perfect for 4 people. The location is also perfect. Easy access to Lanikai Beach and Kailua Beach. Took the kayak out to the Mokulua Islands, an experience of a lifetime. Snorkling on Lanikai beach yielded turtles and lots of colorful fish. Noni is the perfect host - friendly and available when needed. We're coming back! I recommend renting bicycles to avoid parking hassles at the beaches. ##### Stig J.

Noni was incredibly communicative prior to our stay, answering questions about her property quickly. She was welcoming and continued to be approachable with questions. The property exceeded our expectations in both the incredible view and in true aloha spirit! We would absolutely suggest this property to anyone who wants a genuine Hawaiian vacation: incredibly close to the beach, easy access to amenities, and close to highways that take you anywhere on Oahu. We stayed while attending a conference in downtown Waikiki, which was a 45 minute commute from the property. At the end of each conference day, we could not wait to return to our quiet side of the island, away from the traffic and into the ocean breeze! ##### Abbye S. Stayed 9 nights in Jan 2017 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jan and Steve A., Seattle, WA Aug 1, 2016 #### Spectacular view indeed! We loved staying in this charming, private cottage with the gorgeous ocean view last July. This is the best area in Oahu to stay, with the most beautiful beaches on the island within walking distance, cute shops and Whole Foods close by and in a central position to explore the North Shore or Waikiki. The cottage is furnished simply but tastefully, very much in the Hawaiian style. Beds were comfortable and small kitchen had everything but an oven, although there was a toaster oven and microwave. Although it was hot in July, the fans kept it cool enough to sleep. Beach chairs, umbrella, snorkel equipment, boogie boards, etc. were much appreciated and attached parking was great. Noni was the perfect host - very friendly and welcoming, yet unobtrusive. Although we usually like to stay in different places when we return to an area, this is one we will definitely return to! ##### Jan and Steve A.

Mar 25, 2017 #### Best location and view, cute house We had a great stay at this house. The house is really unique, and the host, Noni, is very friendly and welcoming. The house is located right across the Lanikai beach, great water and sand. Watch the sunrise right from the lanai. The view is really the best feature of the house. It is also 5 min away from Kailua beach, outstanding, words cannot describe the beauty of the sand and blue water. The house is an older house, with a basic kitchen and one bath ( a little more challenging for the 4 of us), but we loved it, it had a certain authenticity to it. Maybe it was because the house has several artwork pieces of Noni's displayed. Very peaceful and quiet place, even though we were gone most of the time morning till evening. We would definitely rent again. Thank you Noni! ##### Daniel S. Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2017 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elyot W. Nov 3, 2013 #### Perfect spot for a couple with 2 young kids. My family celebrated my 40th birthday and my daughter's 5th in this lovely cottage. We could not have asked for a better place to do it. The cottage is charming, and authentic. Gorgeous views from the lanai and a useable and well equipped kitchen. Noni (the owner) was present as much as you'd want her to be in terms of making great suggestions on things to do, where to eat, etc...but never intrusive and always helpful. To be clear her house sits above the cottage and is entirely separate. Lanikai beach is an easy walk with all your beach toys and 2 small kids- it is the nicest beach I've ever been to. There is a really cool tree house on the property that my 5 and 7 year old kids found one of the highlights of the trip. I especially enjoyed using the barbecue to make supper. We'll definitely want to stay here again when we come back to Oahu. A couple notes - there is no air coditioning. This was never an issue for us and we are from Vancouver so I doubt it will be an issue for anyone else. Also there is no dishwasher. Again was not an issue for us. The photos don't really do the place justice. Book it and enjoy Lanikai. ##### Elyot W. ### 8/10 Good #### Jennie B., Denver CO Nov 10, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Prime Location on the windward side Location, location, location. If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of a big city like Honolulu and looking to stay more like a local I totally recommend Noni’s apartment. It’s a detached apartment from the main house and please note the owner and other guests maybe occupying the other listings during your stay. It is backed up on a quiet street at a dead end sitting pretty on top of the hill so the views are fantastic of the mokes and ocean! If you’re one to cook on vacation and looking for a full kitchen this place may not be for you as I found it trying to cook off of one inductor however, it’s a marginal trade off because having a washer and dryer on site was key for me. I stayed for the entire month of Oct 2021 and I have to say the tradewinds kept the place cool at night. On the days where a breeze wasn’t so bountiful it was a bit warm during the day but, nothing to complain about. Complete walking distance to the beach as noted and the Lanikai pill boxes. Beach was only 6-7 min walk if that. I walk pretty fast though. One key factor and a huge plus was having full access to park my rental car in the garage! I would totally recommend this place to any couples who are looking for a private get away who really don’t plan on cooking that much. I had a great stay and thank you kindly. ##### Jennie B.

Apr 15, 2019 #### Beautiful place to stay The views are fantastic from gorgeous sunrise to para-sailers in the evening. ##### Cheryl H.

If you're visiting Oahu, you absolutely have to avoid Honolulu...except for maybe going there on a day trip into town to "experience" the crowds. Really, you want to stay anyplace but Honolulu. However, it's always difficult to find someplace affordable and memorable to rent over on the Windward side of the island (Kailua, Lanikai, even Waimanalo) without ending up near a beach but in somebody's converted garage with no tropical breezes and an 8-foot privacy fence surrounding your "garden view." The Hillside Cottage is a great choice. It's a totally separate cottage with one roomy bedroom. There's another bedroom also, but you should know that it's not totally private from the first one. The kitchen is minimal, but you're not going to Hawaii to cook, right? The cottage has tons of windows, so you're constantly looking at the beautiful view, and the flow-through fresh air is exactly why you're here. The best part is probably the table and chairs on the lanai. You'll enjoy the best morning coffee of your life while sitting out there watching the sun come up behind the Mokulua Islands. When you bring leftovers home from Kailua's restaurants\*, you'll discover that your lanai table has a better view than any restaurant. We certainly enjoyed our month in the cottage. We could walk to Lanikai Beach in just a few minutes, or easily drive to Kailua Beach. Lanikai and Kailua are definitely the 2 best places to stay on Oahu. (Lanikai is actually part of Kailua.) Kailua Beach is one of the best beaches in the world. Lanikai Beach used to be one of the best beaches, but two things have eroded that reputation: (1) The beach has literally eroded. It's now about half the size it was 10 years ago; (2) Lanikai has been "discovered" Big Time. Tour busses from Waikiki now drop off tourists in Kailua. They rent bikes or walk, and crowd the residential streets of little Lanikai and jam the limited beach. Too bad. \*For restaurants, we heartily recommend the Uahi Island Grill in Kailua. Their $5 happy hour Maitais are the best, as are their fish, kalua pork and french fries. Seriously, we went in several times and always started of with maitais and a $4 basket of amazing french fries . ##### Verified traveller Stayed 28 nights in Feb 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Missi M. Apr 2, 2019 #### Great location! The cottage has a great view and location. Close to 2 beaches and the town. The place is just as described--in order to get to one bedroom, you need to walk through the other room--works fine for a family. We enjoyed our stay ##### Missi M. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### fiona a. Jan 3, 2019 #### Loved it here We have just returned from a few weeks in Hawaii. By far this was our favourite place. Lanikai is the real deal, peaceful, beautiful beaches and so chill. Hillside Cosy was a great bonus to our stay. The view was gorgeous to wake up to, it had everything we needed. Went to the beach everyday just down the rd. Private, quiet, Noni was lovely.We are a family of 4 with 2 teenagers and we found it comfy and great. ##### fiona a. Stayed 8 nights in Dec 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Monika R. Sep 23, 2018 #### Traumhafter Ausblick, tolle Lage Wir haben uns in der Ferienwohnung sehr wohl gefühlt. Problemlos kann man zu Fuß an den Strand von Lanikai und auch Kailua Beach ist nicht weit entfernt. Die Kinder haben das Baumhaus im Garten geliebt. Wir würden jederzeit wieder kommen. ##### Monika R.
