This would have been a five star rating if it weren’t for the difference between what the listing said and reality. The location and views were absolutely unparalleled and the cottage was very clean and well appointed. The semi-private beach was amazing. Our only issue is that the listing stated that there would be “two queen beds and a double futon.” There was one queen, one twin, and a cane couch that should not qualify as a bed. We had four adults and this made it a very uncomfortable. The listing also stated an oven was available, so we planned on cooking and what was available was a microwave/convection oven. We felt very misled by the listing. If the listing had been honest, I would have no complaints at all about this cottage.

While this location is fabulous for the beach, the room was misrepresented. I booked this in July for a December trip. It was listed as a 1-bedroom with 2 queen beds and 1 double futon. In reality, it was a studio with a king bed and a twin. My daughter ended up sleeping on a small not so comfortable couch. Also, one of the screens was missing which we didn’t realize until morning when my son woke up with lots of little bug bites. When I reported this, I was told it would take weeks for repair. Not optimal. It would have been nice to have been told the screen was missing instead of positioning it was fine. We also had to pay fees which are not being charged now. Keep checking on that. There was construction during the day which was loud but we missed most of it since busy. The cottage was bit tired. Those turtles on the beach- makes up for most of the frustration. Hauula is very special place and the Coffee Cove nearby is a gem.

This was a futon which was supposed to be adequate to sleep on

My family had an amazing time staying at this location. The views were incredible especially the sunrise every morning. The beach is private and the snorkeling was wonderful. Plenty of marine life including sea turtles which we had the pleasure of swimming with. I especially loved that this was on the windward side of the island away from the congestion of Waikiki. If you're looking for that true island vibe I highly recommend checking this place out. You won't be disappointed. It is a short drive to the north shore or Kaneohe. Our host Karon was so helpful with our accommodation and made our stay as comfortable as it could possibly be. I will definitely be staying here again in the future. Mahalo for everything. -RB from SC

Highly Recommend

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.

Perfect location!

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 you’re looking for “standard condo fancy” this is not it. But if you like the simplicity of old school cottages - this is perfect.

Great view and location

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.
