If you're looking for excellent, close access to a wonderful quiet beach (2 mins by foot), this is the place to stay. The added bonus is that it's within 800 m of a great morning breakfast spot (Kalapawai Market) in one direction, or the main town is 5 mins by car (20 mins by foot) in the other direction.
The beach cottage itself is small, with a nice, big bright bathroom. It's in the shade so it never felt too hot. It was spic and span on arrival. There's a firm, Queen size bed, but limited seating areas inside. Lots of seating on the private patio outside. Vicki made sure there were lots of towels for our use (bathroom and beach) as we were staying 5 days. Birds and traffic are noisy but not a serious distraction. There's a small kitchen area, not suitable for cooking but just fine for making tea/coffee or a light lunch. There's a small frig with freezer.
Vicki was a responsive and lovely host. This cottage a lovely option if you're looking to be close to Honolulu (30 mins drive) but not too close to the busyness of Waikiki, but with lots of lovely restaurants and other amenities, and a great, swimmable beach.
