About this cottage rental
Nestled in the beachside residential community of Lanikai in Kailua, this home is well appointed with all the creature comforts of a home away from home. It is a separate and distinct 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath cottage. Upstairs is a full kitchen and a living/dining area as well as a convenient half bath. Downstairs are two bedrooms: the master with a queen-sized bed and the second one with two twins. Both share a jack and jill full bathroom. The home is fully furnished, including a TV, books, games, toys as well as beach towels, linens, and an initial supply of paper products and soaps including dish soap, laundry soap and body soap.
The front porch opens out to a very large monkey pod tree, spanning two properties and home to songbirds (manu mele) - our morning serenade!!
It is only a five to seven minute walk to the world famous Lanikai beach, the best swimming beach in all of Hawai’i. The town of Kailua is a seven minute drive, making us close to shopping, some great restaurants and the Kailua Beach Center that rents kayaks and other ocean toys. The property is managed by a long-term resident of Hawaii.

The little yellow cottage was the perfect place to base our daily adventures from. The cottage was bright, inviting, and neat as a pin. We hope to return soon!

Our family had a wonderful time in Lanikai. The house is well equipped with everything we needed for our 14 days there. Beds, linens and towels super comfy and new. Great shower and well ventilated living room and bedrooms. Residential neighborhood. Walking distance from the most beautiful sunrise in Oahu. Nancy is super kind.

No longer poaradise.
Basics rate is reasonable until all extra fees are added. Very expensive stay. Major road work in local area restricted parking all day. Since we could not walk to the local beach carrying supplies, we had to use Kailua Beach Park, which is very busy. Disappointing.

Wonderfull cottage in perfect location
Communication with the host prior to arrive and during our stay was clear and timely. Nancy provided all check in details weeks before our arrival. Upon arrival, the Little Yellow Cottage is very well cleaned and staged to receive us. It is very well stocked with everything we needed for our three week stay. This included kitchen utensils, dinnerware, cookware, condiments, seasoning so you can cook yourself (Foodland, Wholefoods are a 10-15min drive away). This property also came with four beach chairs, snorkels, two pairs of fins, plenty of beach toys for the kids. and a small cooler. The two bedrooms are large and the beds were very comfortable. There are plenty of linens and towels. Having a washer and dryer was super helpful.
The cottage itself is located about 10mins walk from Lanikai beach. It is very nicely tucked away in what I can best describe as a mini jungle. If you love the sounds of nature, then open the windows and be enchanted. Parking is available on the property.
We absolutely loved this cottage. We miss it already and we recommend it to anyone who looks to stay in the Lanikai/Kailua area.

Respite from the snow.
Nancy communicated with us frequently, before, during and after our stay. She was the ultimate host, providing us with guidance such as, wear wide- rimmed hats and lots of sunscreen. We found out from many locals that Lanikai was a special neighborhood and we were lucky to have chosen the Little Yellow Cottage for our stay. Just an easy walk to what is considered the most beautiful beach on the island brings you to paradise. The water is chrystal clear. The breeze soothed us to sleep, at night. And the beautiful birds cheerfully greeted us, each morning. And the cottage was lovely and full of natural light. Thank you, Nancy!

Yellow Little Cottage Perfection
My family was looking for a rental close to Lanikai that was clean with 2 bedrooms. We came across Nancy's listing that met our needs and more. She greeted us upon our arrival and gave us a run down of the property. The rental was clean, had an awesome lay out where kids could have their own room and the best thing of all...it had an in unit washer/dryer. It’s only a 10-15 minute walk to the beach and Nancy offered chairs, umbrellas and beach toys. We have stayed at a number of rentals in the area and this is the best by far. I think we have found our place for the next visit!

Peaceful time in Lanikai/Kailua
Lovely respite in a beautiful, serene location within easy walking distance to beach. Our hostess, Nancy, was very friendly, very helpful with all arrangements and gave us some great ideas for outings. We would gladly rent again. One caution is that the local birds wake up early - not an issue for us as we do, too. We loved the sounds as it reminded us exactly where we were - a tropical paradise. We highly recommend it.

Piece of paradise
We had a wonderful stay at the Little Yellow Cottage! It was cozy, tasteful and in a great neighborhood. The house had everything we needed and was the right size for four of us. The location is close to the beach and the neighborhood is very safe. Nancy was very hospitable and kind. She personally greeted us and checked on us every day. It was a very pleasant experience.

A lovely stay
We had a lovely 2-week stay at the little yellow cottage in Lanikai. Loved the location - a 5-minute walk to the beach but just off the main traffic loop. And the cottage was nice and cosy and perfect for the 3 of us. Nancy was a very responsive host. Loved it.

2nd Stay!
Just like the first time we stayed at the yellow cottage, it was adorable! There are 4 of us staying, 2 adults and 2 teenagers And it fits us perfectly. The location is outstanding and it is a private, clean, cozy place to stay. My only negative comment is that it is probably time to change out the mattress for the queen size bed.

Little Yellow Cottage is Charming
We found the cottage clean, comfortable, and well equipped. Lanikai Beach is beautiful. Indeed, there is a larger home close to the front door and windows, but lots of foliage which provides a sense of privacy.
I found the driveway a challenge, due to many tropical plants and leaves along side. My driver's side mirror murdered a palm tree as we left for the airport. 😩�🌴�😩� I’m hoping that the Lanikai Palm Gods forgive me, not to mention our gracious host, Nancy.

Roaches, ants, no dishwasher, no privacy from owner, ample restrictions
We were very excited to return to Oahu with our kids. We’ve lived on Oahu and are very familiar with the culture and lifestyle, not to mention the beaches! The description & reviews indicated a welcoming, family stay. When we arrived, before we even got our luggage in the cottage, Nancy arrived complaining about prior guests who didn’t close the windows and left the cottage AC on while away. We didn’t realize her house was directly facing the living room &porch of the cottage with zero privacy. There was no Aloha or welcome. I did acknowledge the cottage was very very hot and could see why the AC was left on by prior visitors. Nancy said it wasn’t necessary to turn the AC on and that opening the windows was all that was really needed. Several hours later, it was over 85 degrees in the cottage, the AC was not working. We were again reminded to open windows and given a lecture on use of AC causing damage to the AC unit. She claimed she was told that turning the AC down to less than 70 would ruin the AC unit and told us to go enjoy the ocean and just open the windows. We were tired from the flight and wanted to relax....the next day the AC was repaired and we survived the ants which were all over & underneath the 2 person loveseat in the living room and kitchen. As a note, there is enough seating for two adults and one person but not a family of 4 in the living room. As we were leaving Nancy again arrived to tell us to shut the AC off while we were gone. The next two days were the same until she asked me while leaving the unit if I’d turned off the AC and I didn’t answer. She kept asking me and wouldn’t let us leave, so I finally told her we weren’t aware of restrictions on use of the AC or windows prior to arrival, She advised me that the house rules are online and she would charge us if use went up. We have a baby that naps, so we did stay in I told her and I didn’t realize we would have monitored use of the cottage. We were very clean and didn’t ask for anything other than functional AC so our kids could sleep.... But we had to wash the sofa cover, mop the floor (there’s no vacuum!) and constantly wash dishes to keep the ants away. There’s no dishwasher although it’s pictured in the ad, so this meant constant work with kids. Lack of functional AC, dishwasher, useable grill, constant bug problems despite cleaning plus lack of privacy indoor or outside, as unit (including bedroom) faces a monitoring owner, keeps me from recommending this unit.

Great spot for a quiet Hawaiian vacation
Lanikai is a great spot to get away and bring kids. Cottage for dinner adults and a baby and there was enough room. Walk to beach was easy. Thank you!

Very welcoming and well maintained!
The yellow cottage is like a tiny home and has everything you need to enjoy your stay! Nancy is a great hostess and kindly made suggestions about events in the area based on our interests. The beach chairs, boogie boards and towels were enjoyed by all! While there, be sure to rise early and walk down to the beach for the sunrise as the views are stunning. Mahalo, Nancy!
