The host was spectacular. The property was beautiful. I hope I remain friends with the host, they are so great.

This place was absolutely perfect! Location was central to everything but far enough away you really felt remote. The hosts were wonderful. I would go back anytime! They didn't miss a beat with the accommodations-top notch!

We had a wonderful time in Hawaii and loved the cottage. We had everything we needed and Mel was just a text away if we needed anything or had questions. We would definitely stay here again if we return to Hawaii for vacation. We also will recommend this place to anyone vacationing there.

Where to start as everything was as advertised at Mel’s beautiful home. The home in about two blocks from the ocean and you can hear the waves at night with the windows open. Close to Costco and many shopping centers as well as Hanauma Bay and Koko head crater trail. Thanks again Mel! Hope to come back to your wonderful home in the future. Chad & Nicole.

Great Place. Nice neighbourhood. Close to all amenities and close to great beaches and scenic lookouts. Layout of rental property was fantastic and spacious and provided with everything you need to cook and store your own food. Highly recommend and would definitely rent again.

Loved it! Beautiful!

The property is spacious and comfortable for two persons. The location of the property was ideal for our purposes in that it is in a quiet relatively high end neighbourhood close to windward island beaches and a short drive into Honolulu. The apartment is well equipped for eating in and relaxing. The clothes washer and dryer was handy. The space for car parking is very convenient. The owner is very friendly and helpful.

Beautiful studio and location! Mel was very friendly and accommodating, highly recommend!

This is a clean, cozy and comfortable property, well-situated in a nice neighbourhood. We would have no hesitation in staying here again.

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights. Great, safe location. Absolutely loved it! Away from the hustle and bustle but still close enough for quick drives to key locations. Beautiful views from property including view of ocean.

Mell’s Place is located in a quiet and nice neighborhood. I enjoyed taking short walks to China Wall and Koke Beach in early morning. Park. Very peaceful! It is a special place to enjoy serene ocean view and relaxing time. Thank you so much.

We’ve stayed at multiple Homeaway places during our travels and this is at the top of our list. Why? Great neighborhood, quiet, fully equipped and an awesome host!

Having lived in Hawaii Kai previously, it was nice to come back to. Mel's cottage was very comfortable and inviting and felt like home away from home. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to stay on that side of the island.

We stayed at this lovely location for a family wedding, and everything was perfect. Check-in and out was as easy as could be. The place is spacious, fresh, and neat. The location was great for us, and the short walk down to the water was a plus we hadn't anticipated.

Eine saubere, ruhige und modern ausgestattete Unterkunft in Meeresnähe und nur 15 Minuten vom Flughafen entfernt. Sehr netter Kontakt mit der Besitzerin, die auf Fragen sofort reagierte.

This was a perfect place to stay for our honeymoon. The property was clean and welcoming and had everything we needed to have a wonderful stay. The personal touches from the owner made our stay that much more special. Check in was flawless and the owner was available if we needed anything but was not intrusive. The location was beautiful and very convenient as it was close to restaurants, stores and a brewery plus easy to navigate around the island. I highly recommend this property!

Neighborhood is excellent Rooms are spacious Bed is comfortable for good sleep

We stayed in this cottage while new windows were being installed in our apartment; it was a two week installation so we had an extended experience on the property. First of all, the cottage is located in a high-end neighborhood and a short block from the ocean (great for ocean and sunset-watching but not for swimming). The house is quiet, safe and very-well furnished with what is needed to make your stay comfortable. In fact, we were surprised that the unit included so many amenities. We were very spoiled with the big, beautiful shower that most people dream about but never experience. The cottage was about two miles from our apartment so it was very convenient for us as we were familiar with the neighborhood. Out-of-town visitors will be pleased with two shopping centers about a mile away. We both worked during the week, but spent nights, weekends and a holiday in the cottage. Covered parking is situated just outside the cottage door so it was very convenient for both of our cars. Although the unit had everything needed to prepare meals, we mostly ate out at nearby restaurants. There is also a small shady garden just outside the glass doors in the bedroom so we enjoyed the evening sunsets with a glasses of wine. Our host, Mel, was very gracious and responded quickly to any questions we had, so we had no issues during our stay. We enjoyed the stay so much that I have already recommended the cottage to friends in our apartment building who will also have to move out when their windows are being installed. Thank you for being a great host Mel!

Great centralized location with easy driving access to beaches, dining, Waikiki, and Oahu attractions. Property is just like the pictures and provides a cozy and comfortable home away from home in a nice quiet neighborhood. Appreciated having coffee, cream & sugar, seasonings, various soaps, shampoo, and towels readily available, and the macadamia nut chocolates were a nice welcoming touch. Would definitely stay again.

This was the best location, nicest place and quietest neighborhood; everything in the Cottage was clean, worked perfectly and very comfortable. I wanted to live there, not just visit.

The cottage is excellent. The renter has a private covered parking space close to the front door. The renter also has a private wooden door into an enclosed small courtyard and then a private entrance into the cottage. So, everything is very private. The location is excellent, up-scale neighborhood close to a beautiful hiking trail overlooking Hanauma Bay. Everything is clean and in good shape. Mel let us have our privacy but the few times we needed help with something, she was immediately available. Highly recommend.
