We had a great time staying at the cottage managed by Adam in Hau'ula. It was the perfect size for my husband, two teenage daughters and I. We loved the huge grounds with room to stroll around, pick bananas (I even made a Thai dish with banana blossoms) and jakfruit and check out the fish in the stream in back. The cottage is nicely furnished and recently renovated, with a well set up kitchen and plenty of stores nearby.
The cottage has great recommendations for local stuff to do. We loved going to Kokololio Beach Park for excellent snorkeling and swimming, Pounders for bodysurfing and the Polynesian cultural center. Plus Tamura's for poke and groceries! And the North Shore is very close by.
