Adam is a fantastic host. He's very responsive in all communications and even worked it out for us to extend our checkout time so we could get in a few more hours of beach time before heading to the airport for an all night flight.
The cottage was great for our family of 5. Clean, well stocked with kitchen items, bathroom linens and having the washer and dryer for a beach vacation was key! Check in and check out were super simple, and the grounds for the cottage are lovely. The larger guest house had a group come in during the last couple of days of our stay. We befriended the group and had a great time. Good people are attracted to renting these properties!
We absolutely loved our time on Oahu. We explored a lot of the island, and we really were quite partial to the Hauula area. It's a quite area of locals with great beaches, grocery shopping close by, food trucks and a laid back vibe. It's not as touristy as the North Shore and not busy like the Kailua and Honolulu/Waikiki area. All of which are short 30-45 minute drives from the cottage, so there is easy accessibility to anything on the island, but when you come back home for the day, or make a pit stop for an afternoon rest, you are back in peaceful quite.
One of the best parts was that the cottage came with 4 good quality boogie boards, 3 Tommy Bahama beach chairs and a Tommy Bahama beach umbrella. These items really made our beach experience so much better. And we spent most of our time going to different beaches!
If you are planning a trip to Oahu, I highly recommend booking the Ohana Country Cottage (2 bedrooms, 1 bath, kitchen, dining, washer/dryer), or the larger guest house (4 bedrooms). The property is great, Adam is a gracious host and it's a great area of the island!
