Great location to relax on the beach and avoid the hubbub of Waikiki. There's an expansive lawn, seating, and ocean gear (kayaks, boogie boards, snorkel kits, and life jackets). The shorebreak is a few hundred yards offshore, so you have lots of calm ocean with small 1 foot waves. We watched kayakers head out to Rabbit Island about a mile offshore. It's especially close to other great beaches on the island, including Hanauma Bay, Kailua, and Lanikai. We were on the island to visit family, so we didn't spend a ton of time hanging out, but it's somewhere you could just relax on the beach if you're looking for solitude.
While the location is on the drier side of the island, the cottage is shaded by a native kukui nut tree and surrounded by birds and greenery. It's set back from the main house so there's adequate privacy. There's a full size refrigerator and the kitchenette is well stocked. The bathrooms and showers are well furnished with toiletries and linens. Upstairs consists of a bedroom (2 beds), bathroom, living room, and screened lanai. Our kids loved hanging out in the lanai to read and play cards. Downstairs has a trundle bed, 1/2 bath, and outdoor shower. We used the 2-way baby monitor to stay in touch!
Elizabeth and Lee are welcoming hosts and checked to make sure we were comfortable. All in all an enjoyable stay!
