Perfect Hawaiian get-away
The cottage delivers … it offers premium location (10 steps to the beach); a lanai to enjoy the views day and night; easy trips to the local food truck scene and the Polynesian Cultural Center. Drive a little further north, you’ll be at Dole Plantation and the Banzai Pipeline to watch surfing. Honolulu is only an hour south. We’ll definitely be back - one our best vacations !!

Perfect Location
The location and description of the cottage is 100% accurate. It's a beautiful, peaceful location just steps from the beach. You're also within easy driving distance to all the attractions of the North Shore. You can easily have a morning swim, see some sights and then return for a early evening swim...or, spend the entire day at the cottage/beach. There are plenty of food options nearby. I especially liked the kitchen at Kaya's Country Store and it's an easy walk. Terrie is a great communicator and really cares that you enjoy your stay.

Perfect!
This cottage was absolute paradise. Everything was just so wonderful - the view, the relaxation, the beach being a mere 30 feet from the lanai. We couldn't have asked for a better vacation spot. The space is set up perfectly to feel spacious and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to make/have meals. Many thanks to Terrie for the caring, kind, and quick communication as well.

The cottage was wonderfully comfortable and well furnished/supplied, in a great location on O'ahu. It was perfect for my short trip!. My only concern is that the standard sized pick-up truck that I rented at HNL would never have been able to get into parking spot #16, if the slot next to it (#15) had been used. I was lucky that slot next to mine was unoccupied throughout my entire stay. The rental needs to explicitly advertise the very tight parking/maneuvering radius that goes with the assigned parking stall for this cottage, and advise renters to bring a compact vehicle. Thanks again for the great accomodation, Terrie!

Great Getaway Spot to Relax
We wanted a relaxing location to getaway from the busyness of the big city, and this place was just that. 10 steps out the back patio, and you’re on the beach. The place was cool enough with the fans, and it had everything we needed to have peace of mind, including kitchen items to cook in when we wanted to. Definitely a spot to come back to.

Great place to enjoy the whole island
First off, Terrie is great to work with…she’s quick to respond, answered all my questions and gave us great tips! This is a great little cottage that reminds me of a south Florida bungalow. Very comfortable and had everything we needed. The kitchen was well equipped and the refrigerator/freezer is great! This was our first time in Hawaii/Oahu and this is the coast to stay on! Easy to get anywhere on the island from here! We traveled over the entire island and saw all it’s beauty! A great week! Loved the lanai and our own beach and listening to the ocean. My husband swam with turtles! (Of course, that’s when I wasn’t in the water…Lol!) The last afternoon I was looking forward to floating on tubes and snorkeling at the beach, but alas rain came so we enjoyed just being in the lanai! Saw our only rainbow on Oahu that afternoon and got a great pic to remember our fabulous week! Mahalo Terrie!

Amazing Views, Lanai
Perfect property for a couple. Although, the place is a little dated and tight, the views can't be beat. Walking right onto a beautiful beach was the best feature of this property. Terrie is a great host and called to check up on us and see if we made it in okay. She also provided great tips on where to spot turtles in the early hours of the morning. Pros: on a beautiful beach, amazing lanai, thoughtfully furnished with all essential items, good internet, walking distance to shops and amazing food trucks Cons: tight space, a little dated, no a/c or dishwasher, noise from neighboring units. Overall, we had a positive experience and recommended for a couple who are willing to overlook some of the drawbacks.

Great little cottage on the ocean with all the comforts of home
Cute little cottage on the beach. We saw turtles nesting on the beach and swam with them right outside. Great winds kept us cool at night Kitchen/laundry and all the amenities of home. Terrie was a thoughtful and responsive host-even checked in on us when the power was out in the area. The location was perfect for us to set out on adventures all over Oahu. Fantastic cottage to use as your home base and a home away from home. Quiet area, but life starts early on the island and you can hear roosters and people outside. Not an issue for us, we were trying to make use of every minute, but would be hard to sleep late if that’s your lifestyle . Loved this little cottage with its beautiful lanai

Punaluu cottage
This cottage has great potential. It is a lovely location right on the beach. Turtles come up on the beach in the evening and you can see them while snorkeling right in front of the cottage. Terri the host is quite easy to get ahold of if needed. It was also easy to fine (even in the pouring rain). Parking spot is quite small and would be hard for a larger car to get into the spot. (We had a Corolla). The inside of the cottage is well equipped. The problems we had we with the cleanliness of the unit. To be honest it could use a thorough cleaning. There was also a bit of an ant problem in the kitchen. We were not comfortable preparing food. I would use some pesticide spray on the counter but as soon as you brought out any food to prepare a meal there they were. Our expenses went up on this trip because we were eating away from the place.. I don’t make these comments to take away from the owner however as a person who only gets a holiday like this every few years I would have like to have known. I can be a little bit of a clean freak but perhaps cleaning whatever was on the wall behind the sliding door in the bathroom might be necessary. Great place if you are not a clean freak and don’t mind sharing you meal with ants.

Hated to Leave
Our stay was absolutely perfect for us. After a week in busy Waikiki, the peacefulness and much slower pace of the Northeast side of the island was perfect for the soul. The cottage itself was so welcoming-with everything one could need for beach living, and playing—and it was literally 20 steps to the beach! Everything from linens to kitchen stuff was clean and available, and the owner was always available to answer questions. …..and that lanai-our favorite place in the cottage!!! From early morning coffee/sunrises, to evening meals watching and listening to the ocean-it was simply an outstanding place to “be”. The sunrises were stunningly beautiful, the breezes were lovely, and if one is an early riser, you might be lucky enough to see the turtles (some HUGE) resting on the beach before they return to the ocean for the day. This was our second stay in the immediate area, and this cottage is, by far, the best fit for us! We look forward to visiting the island and staying at this little bit of paradise again. Aloha, and mahalo, Terrie, for sharing Paradise with us! 💞

Picture Perfect Beach Location
The view is to die for!!! The patio is very comfortable. It is definitely a COTTAGE as the owner refers to it. Unfortunately, the weather was so perfect while we were there that it was too hot for us to sleep at night. We had no airflow. There were two nice floor fans and an above fan that tried to cool it down for us. We come from no humidity, though. We kept the windows open, but it wasn't enough for us. But, if you want a perfect beach, don't mind a tiny coffee pot, and don't mind doing your own dishes on vacation, this is the place for you. We came for a wedding and had a lot of luggage as a result. There is no way we could have fit a 3rd person in it. The bathroom and shower are very small, too. But, if you just bring your beach clothes, a 3rd person can fit. I never used the pool because of our schedule and the hours it was open. The laundry is in the highrise next to it. Also, you get one assigned parking spot which is VERY close to the cottage. But, you better be a great driver to park in it. We had a Camaro and could barely swing into it when the other car was in it's slot. The owner really needs a diagram of which condo of the 4 in the Quadroplex is yours. And, there should be big lettering on the door to help you identify you are entering the proper door upon check-in. That would make the check-in process easier. I was afraid I was going to enter the wrong cottage. It was hit and miss.

Breathtaking views in front and back. Mountains on the one side ocean on the other. I got a little hot in the mornings, a portable A/C unit might have been nice, but otherwise it was great. Tons of snorkel gear in a protected bay and sea turtles on the beach at night. Check out the food trucks and beer garden in Kahuku!
