The cottage was marvelous! We had no trouble finding the property - even though we arrived after dark. The photos are a perfect representation of the cottage. Everything was sparkling clean, freshly painted and the linens were luxurious. There was even a treat waiting for us on the dining room table - yum!
The location of the cottage is wonderful. We spent several days here and then the rest of our vacation in Waikiki - very different locations. The area around the condo is very relaxed - we loved it!
The walk to the beach is very convenient - we used the boogie boards provided and walked across the street and down the bike path to Sunset Beach. The sand is amazing and the beach is very clean. It was terrific not to have to worry about finding a parking space. And if we forgot something it was just 5 minutes to walk back and grab it.
The kitchen had all the tools we needed to cook meals and we used the grill on the porch several times. The Foodland grocery is just a few minutes away. Haleiwa is just a few minutes further west of the cottage and the famous shrimp trucks are just down the road to the east of the cottage. And Ted's Bakery is right there - chocolate haupia pies are not to be missed.
We did hear the roosters in the mornings, so if you're a light sleeper you might want to grab your earplugs. And there was some road noise but we didn't find it bothersome. The house lawn is surrounded by bushes and trees so it feels pretty private from the road.
We would definitely stay here again - thanks for a wonderful visit!
