What I will remember the most about this cottage is hearing the leaves rustle in the wind at night and waking up to beautiful birdsong in the morning. I loved to wake up and gaze at the mandarin tree in the yard. The outdoor shower was a lovely experience. The bed was very comfortable and kids enjoyed staying in the loft. Washer/dyer were of great convenience, kitchen fully stocked with some condiments as well, shampoo/conditioner provided was appreciated. This cottage is a cozy place, tucked up in a quiet residential neighborhood with the mountain right behind us. We took morning runs (2 miles to the beach) while the kids watched cartoons. Costco was only a couple miles away and we went there often to buy food, wine, boogie boards and swim gear. It was a short 20 minute drive to Waikiki and 25 minutes to Kailua. And of course, the not-to-be-missed Hanauma Nature Bay Preserve is less than 5 miles away. We stayed for 9 days and didn't run out of things to see and do and thought our location was perfect for daily trips to a new beach, hike or shopping. Overall, a wonderful stay. Thanks to James for being a great host!
