The beach was like our own private beach where you could boogie board, snorkel. There were a couple of things that the cleaner had forgotten to do prior to us getting there. Overall though, those things were not a big deal and I really loved staying at Greg’s cottage. ##### Kelly G.

We came to HI to celebrate our 10th anniversary. It was just as described and a quick minute to the beach. The last day we spent the day at the beach and we only ran into maybe 10 people all day. It really does feel like a private beach. We hope to rent again through Greg. I really recommend this and will pass along Greg's info to family and friends to stay there as well.

The layout is excellent, particularly,the easy access from the outside shower to the loverly and spacious indoor shower and bathroom. We loved walking on the secluded beach every morning at sunrise.Greg was gracious and responsive to every need.

It’s in a neighborhood with other families, so expect family noises & street noise is louder with it being so close to main highway. Very close to everything - Longs drug store, grocery & food land and lots of mom pop shops. Would be great for 2 people who don’t need too much space and a nice place to stay. Or single person. Very safe to walk and explore. ##### Andrea R.

We used all that was available to us such as beach towels, boogie boards, chairs, sand toys and snorkel gear. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the appliance you need. The beach was wonderful an so close. One morning we had a seal come visit for a good 6 hours, as well as Whales in the distance splashing around. I would highly recommend this place to any couple or small family. Thanks for everything Greg! ##### Vanessa G.

Perfect location, right by a private beach, next to Foodland, right next to PCC, and a minutes drive to Sunset Beach, Sharks Cove and Turtle Bay. The bungalow was so cute and nicely decorated and had everything we needed. A full bright kitchen with all appliances and utilities so we could cool breakfast and grill dinner when we didn't want to go out. If you do go out, the shrimp trucks are a must! A beautiful huge shower stocked with necessities. It totally felt like home by the end of our stay. And the air conditioner worked great at night. Greg was very easy to work with and responds very quickly. I highly recommend the Bungalow to anyone wanting a cute home away from home in paradise!

It was close to perfect. But I couldn’t get the tv to work and after three days of no help I told the owners assistant to forget about it. (I didnt think I should have to go to the Store and buy batteries for a remote that stopped working too). One morning it was chilly and I could not find any extra blankets. Otherwise all was fine. It took a little work to find food trucks and restaurants and understand their hours but food was excellent in the area ##### JANET M. Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Haley T. Oct 7, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Anniversary in paradise Charming north shore bungalow for a honeymoon, anniversary, or romantic couples getaway. It's really just few short steps to a nearly private beach. My husband and I would have hours on the beach without seeing another person. The bungalow was well-equipped and clean. It's small-ish but plenty of space for a couple (or a couple with one baby or toddler). It's just short walk/drive to a local grocery store. Get the mac nut pancakes at Papa Ole's which is in the same center as the grocery store! Our only hiccup was internet service disruption on 3 days. I wouldn't even mention it but it cramped my hubby's style. Book it! You won't regret it! ##### Haley T. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2021 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent Nov 14, 2003 #### Guestbook Comment I stayed at this cottage in mid-October 2003 and was extremely impressed. It is very easy to find and is a cute, well-decorated, roomy cottage with a big bathroom and huge shower, comfortable bed, large outdoor deck and is very clean. It also has a washer/dryer, outdoor shower, A/C, dishes, silverware, etc. so you don't really need to buy anything but food to feel at home. My kids could walk to the beach in about one minute, and the beach is very pretty with fine white sand and good snorkeling. The Polynesian Cultural Center is only about a 3 minute drive away, as is a big public beach park and a McDonald's and shopping center. I would highly recommend this cottage for a couple (there's enough room for a small child, but no extra bed so you'd have to bring a crib or something). I felt like I was far away from the tourist hotels, living like a Hawaiian. ### 8/10 Good #### Debra P. Apr 28, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy #### Overall nice stay Some instructions were unclear on Vrbo. Confusing on how to enter bungalow because we had never seen a keypad on the door like that before. Could’ve used clearer instructions regarding that. Also, toaster only works is you hold the lever down the entire time. To turn tv on, make sure it’s plugged in & then you have to turn on by pushing power on side of tv AND power button on remote. Would be helpful to mention that only very small loads can be washed in washing machine at one time or it won’t work. There is a lot of traffic 24/7 on the main road but we’re from the SF Bay Area so we’re used to the noise & it didn’t bother us. Wouldn’t recommend for people that need a lot of quiet. Otherwise everything else was good. ##### Debra P. Stayed 9 nights in Apr 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Taylor K. Aug 29, 2022 Liked: Communication, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### 10 day getaway So I always want to leave honest reviews when I travel because it’s how I decide where I book places to stay. Overall, not a bad stay but probably wouldn’t stay again. Communication was good, a little bit of trouble entering the house and didn’t get a reply until much later but luckily we figured it out. We were also given an hour and a half later check out which was nice. The beach behind the property is phenomenal. I think it’s called bath tub beach? The sunrises made every morning incredible !! The location isn’t bad… 20-30 min to north shore, 1.5 hrs to west coast and 45-1 hr to the Waikiki area. Plenty of local food places nearby to check out and activities and the beaches nearby are all beautiful! Nice quiet neighborhood, didn’t see much of the neighbors. The street has a ton of stray cats and my boyfriend and I both like cats so we didn’t mind but one hung out on our front porch the whole time so something to consider. The last couple of days we noticed a house being fumigated a few houses down. Our last day we found 2 of the biggest cockroaches I have ever seen. I’m grateful it was the last day because I would’ve left immediately. Overall for the price it was not bad, staying in Waikiki or turtle bay would’ve been at least double the price. ##### Taylor K.

Located on a private street, the access to the ocean was about a minute walk, while access to grocery stores was about a 5 minute walk. Greg has thought of everything from a well-stocked kitchen to access to some great toys for the beach. The bed was comfortable, the outside entrance to the shower was so convenient, the laundry facilities were awesome and the air conditioning made the whole place feel so comfortable. Book this place for a seamless stay in paradise. ##### Kelsey B. Stayed 8 nights in Mar 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adriana E.

Beach access at the end of the lane was ideal. Sunrises were beautiful. Had plenty of snorkel gear along with body boards and beach towels. Full kitchen to make any meals and washer and dryer to do laundry! This property Is super special and will definitely be recommended to others and when I plan My next stay. ##### Adriana E.

I loved the big fluffy white bath towels. The house was equipped with sand toys, boogie boards, coolers and beach towels...everything you needed for a fun day at the beach. The kitchen was fully equipped with the basics. We loved sitting on the patio at night. There was great tropical landscaping in the yard. All the neighbors were very friendly. It was great to have onsite free laundry. The cottage was very clean! Internet service was spotty during the week, but the host was receptive when we called. We would definitely stay here again! ##### Kirsten S. Stayed 9 nights in Apr 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Ken K.

A cat lives on the deck and being allergic to cats a bit of an impact. Overall though really enjoyed the cottage and location....I'd rent again. ##### Ken K.
