I've lived in Hawaii for 9 years and return every year. There's a magical energy for those who pay attention. It puts a hook in you and you have no choice but to return again, and again. I've stayed many places, but none quite like Gordon and Vlasta's. I could go on and on about the Aloha vibe, the views, and the amenities but this place is an experience to behold so all I have to say is if you are on the edge thinking about it you won't regret a single micro second you spend in this cottage by the sea.

A hidden piece of paradise
A hidden piece of paradise
Incredible location, amazing sunrises, most beautiful beach on the island, and best hosts ever. Gordon and Vlasta make sure that you have every thing you need to enjoy your stay....even sharing Gordon's famous Mai Tai recipe. The cottage is comfortable, clean and fully equipped. Close to Kailua for all the necessities and great restaurants but far enough away that you truly feel like you are in paradise. Can't wait to return.

There isn't much to say other than the cottage and hosts were perfect, you cannot beat the location. Would always return without hesitation.

We had such a wonderful vacation! I'm a former Hawaii resident, and when we return for a visit, we much prefer a "local style" experience than a hotel/condo/resort type. Paddlers Dream is probably the best place my husband and I have found yet. The little cottage was spotless and had everything we could possibly need, from the fully equipped kitchen to the towels, beach towels and chairs, and even a washer and dryer. The beds were very comfortable too. As others have noted, the outdoor shower was wonderful (both hot and cold water)--we didn't ever use the one in the bathroom. It was pure heaven to step outside and take a short walk to sit at the water's edge--neither of us are big "be-on-the sand" people (in fact, there isn't much sand there, especially at high tide), and we spent most of our time relaxing, just a few feet from the surf but above the seawall. There are steps down to the beach/ocean access, and it was private and delightful. Gordon and Vlasta are perfect hosts--warm, welcoming, accessible yet very respectful of our privacy. We can't say enough good things about our entire experience, and we plan to return for another visit very soon!
