This cottage is a rare find! exceptional location, turquoise ocean, rocks and shallow waters perfect for snorkeling, swimming, kayaking, and letting kids play without having to worry about big waves like in other beaches nearby. And of course all that with no one around, just a few neighbors or locals...And when you do want to have fun in the waves, it is only 5 min drive to Waimanalo beach, or Sandy beach, or Makapu'u beach etc...
The cottage is also brilliant: the kids (and parents!!) loved the outdoor shower after each swim, the living room area is nice and provides fresh air...and what I loved most about the cottage was waking up each morning with the intense noise of birds of all kinds (including the next door rooster!) thanks to the dense nature surrounding the cottage. All kinds of equipments are provided so you don't have to pack too much.
Just 2 negatives: mosquitoes are everywhere and there is no way you can keep them out of the cottage (but I guess it is expected in this area...). And the downstairs bedroom is not connected with the rest of the cottage, so it works perfectly for 2 couples, but for a family, it does need to be thought through. It ended up being a great "adventure" for our kids (7 and 5) to experience being independent, but we used baby monitors to ensure they were fine on their own.
Lee and Elizabeth were great hosts, very friendly and accomodating, and we would definitely want to cone back to this cottage for a next stay in Oahu!
