The Sunset Vintage Cottage was an excellent experience for our family of four! Having lived in Hawaii over 20 years ago, I was happy to share the lifestyle of the open air living that the cottage promotes. Being a short walk from several different beach accesses (Included Sunset Beach itself), we enjoyed watching sunset on the beach every night. Having a gas grill on the lanai was a big bonus for us as we grilled dinner several nights and then enjoyed eating at the picnic table that looks out onto the yard surrounded by tropical foliage.

The cottage is centrally located in a very nice area of the North Shore with Ted’s Bakery being a very easy walk from it. You do have to cross the Kamehameha HWY (83) to get to the beach, but that is not difficult to do. You will hear some road noise from it, but the beautiful landscaping helps mitigate that. You will also hear the crows and squawks of the feral chickens and rosters that are found all around the islands. Both of those sources of sounds fade at night and restart in the morning and help set the daily rhythm for the island.

We had opportunity to interact with Anderson, the owner, as he was resourceful in resolving issues that we had with the TV and Internet. He is a polite and friendly host who is intent on providing an enjoyable stay … which he did! We look forward to being able to stay at the cottage again at some point in the future.

Mahalo!
