The Cottage by the Sea is a lovely little home on a shared property with the main house. It's very quiet, and a great place to rest after a long day adventuring in Oahu. The walk to the private beach is fantastic. We were pretty unlucky with our weather (it rained every day we were there) so be prepared for mud if that's the case for you! Alicia and Paul were very communicative and answered questions quickly. Our only complaint was that the stove was not working, but a hot plate was available. I highly recommend!
