"It was wonderful to have our own beach and morning sunrises. The condo is in a perfect area for quiet and relaxation. It had everything we needed. Really appreciated the quantity of towels. It was not our first time to Oahu so going to the busy area such as Honolulu was OK for us. We spent most of our time on the north and east side of the island and had plenty to do. We would definitely recommend this wonderful place."

"Cottage was as described. Perfect view! Couldn't be better! host was concerned about the construction, but that was not an issue at all! With our reserved parking space, we never had an issue finding a spot. Only things I would mention would be...There is no air conditioning, just fans and even with the fans, If you're not used to heat and humidity it could be uncomfortable. Also, because the beach access and hose off is right by the cottage, and the cottage has so many wonderful windows, there is not a lot of privacy. You don't want to close the curtains, Because then you close off the airflow, but people can see right in the cottage, if it's dark outside and the lights are on in the cottage. So we went to bed with the sun and woke up with the sun. But the fact that we could walk out and snorkel, with sea turtles was epic!!!!!Several very useful items in the kitchen for cooking, which we did. Loved the use of the rice cooker.Excellent location on Oahu! Away from the main crowds, everywhere you look is beautiful! Quiet, and peaceful!"

"Best stay ever!!!!! The views are absolutely insane, the beach is right in the backyard and the water is incredible. The host was so so kind and even brought us an entire tv when we asked about it?!? The guest house was so nice to have, we had a huge group of girls and they all raved about the house and how much they loved their rooms. The kitchen is massive with two refrigerators and there are two laundry sites as well. There were two outdoor showers too which was so nice and everywhere we looked it was just beautiful. We couldn’t have picked a better stay and we hope to come back!!"
