The Waimanalo Beach Cottages are true jewels and you must stay here if you're interested in escaping Honolulu/Waikiki for the best kept secret on O'ahu. Tommy and Carolyn are warm, welcoming hosts and we were lucky to get to know them and their team while we were staying there --the cottages have been in their family for generations! The cottages are maybe a two minute walk from the best beach we've found on the island and the beach area by the cottages has the least traffic compared to the surrounding areas so you feel like you have this amazing beach to yourself. There are some great food options a short walk away --we really liked Kalapawai Cafe & Deli which sells great food and sangria. We can't recommend these cottages enough, we had a wonderful time and are so sad to be leaving.
