This place is in a perfect location, right on the beach and close to Jurassic park ranch. The place itself is a little outdated and needs some renovation in my opinion. Everything else was great.

This place is not for everyone. The positives: 1. The view from the unit is amazing. 2. The ocean breeze at night and the sound of the waves were excellent. 3. Having the beach so close was great. 4. The unit itself was clean. It had everything you needed The negatives: 1. The building and unit are old and not kept up. Other reviews give specifics. 2. There was loud construction which according to prior reviews has been going on for years. 3. It is very hot without AC. 4. The big windows allow guests in the units next to you to see everything you are doing. If you close curtains for privacy then you get very hot! 5. It was VERY noisy! With windows open you hear noise from surrounding units 6. Jacqui was passive aggressive. I sent a message about the lack of privacy, the heat and bright outdoor lights that were shining into the bedroom window. She sent a response saying that we were the first guests in 15 years who complained--we read prior reviews about privacy so we weren't. She then showed up at the Unit at 9am unannounced, and when i asked about the outside lights shining in the bedroom she said they cant be turned off for security and are only on 7pm til 7am. This also was not true...They were on 24/7 until another guest complained then they were out 24/7. She offered black out curtains and another fan but that wouldn't help. If you are fine with a run-down noisy very hot beach house right on the beach with amazing views and a nice ocean breeze then you will love it.

Overall the stay was great:

We were lucky enough to stay in this exceptionally clean, very nicely decorated and amazingly located condo for 4 nights in August 2024. From the view, the basically private beach to the turtles who appear in the evening and leave at sunrise, the trip could not have been better!! We were not interested in the hustle and bustle of Waikiki. We wanted to be able to go there but not stay there and we are so grateful we made that decision and we’re lucky enough to stay here..

We had a great visit! View, breeze, ocean sounds make for a perfect visit away from the hustle and bustle of Honolulu. Very clean, nice outdoor/beach area.

We enjoyed staying in this cottage! It’s cozy and right on the beach. If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki, this is a great option. It’s on the second level of the cottage, great ocean breeze, and we truly enjoyed seeing the sea turtles come up on the beach during the day to sun and at night to sleep. It’s a bit of a drive if you’re wanting to do anything in the Waikiki area, but if you’re interested in the North Shore, Polynesian Cultural center, Waimea Falls, Kailua, etc this is a great location. There is a grocery store nearby, and the cottage had pots, pans, dishes, etc you’re interested in cooking some of your meals there. Laundry supplies were provided for the shared laundry space. The only negative was the cramped parking spot. It is a challenge to park if you have a full size rental or larger. We would stay here again if we visit the island in the future.

We were a little apprehensive when we first pulled into our assigned parking space, but once we got inside, we were pleasantly surprised at how really lovely it was. Wonderful seaside decor, very clean and comfortable with everything you would need to enjoy the beach right outside your window. The breeze and the sound of the ocean while resting in bed was perfect after a long day of adventure. Mahalo

What a dream location! It was our first trip to Hawaii. There’s no better place stay! The location is ideal, if you want to stay in the peace and quiet of the North Shore. The Hukilau Marketplace is less than 10 minutes down the road with some great food trucks. The beach is beautiful and quiet. Often we had the beach to ourselves! The best part is falling asleep to the crashing waves and the breeze of the cool trade winds.
