Relaxing in Paradise
Charming rustic cottage with a lovely lanai looking directly out to the ocean; perfect for relaxing or sharing a meal while enjoying gentle tradewinds. We fell asleep each night to the sounds of the waves coming into shore and woke to spectacular sunrises. Our host answered our questions quickly and offered great suggestions to make our stay even more special. Many thanks and we look forward to returning.

Absolute Paradise
The location directly on the beach could not be better! The lanai is beautiful and it was so peaceful to relax while listening to the ocean waves. The cottage was well equipped and comfortable. We would stay again!

Amazing Views, Lanai
Perfect property for a couple. Although, the place is a little dated and tight, the views can't be beat. Walking right onto a beautiful beach was the best feature of this property. Terrie is a great host and called to check up on us and see if we made it in okay. She also provided great tips on where to spot turtles in the early hours of the morning. Pros: on a beautiful beach, amazing lanai, thoughtfully furnished with all essential items, good internet, walking distance to shops and amazing food trucks Cons: tight space, a little dated, no a/c or dishwasher, noise from neighboring units. Overall, we had a positive experience and recommended for a couple who are willing to overlook some of the drawbacks.

Great little cottage on the ocean with all the comforts of home
Cute little cottage on the beach. We saw turtles nesting on the beach and swam with them right outside. Great winds kept us cool at night Kitchen/laundry and all the amenities of home. Terrie was a thoughtful and responsive host-even checked in on us when the power was out in the area. The location was perfect for us to set out on adventures all over Oahu. Fantastic cottage to use as your home base and a home away from home. Quiet area, but life starts early on the island and you can hear roosters and people outside. Not an issue for us, we were trying to make use of every minute, but would be hard to sleep late if that’s your lifestyle . Loved this little cottage with its beautiful lanai

Paradise on Oahu
Couldn't ask for anything else for this little GEM on Oahu. It is great to get away from the hussle of Waikiki and enjoy the North Shore. This little bungalow is right on the beach! Perfect romantic place for a simple get away!

Punaluu cottage
This cottage has great potential. It is a lovely location right on the beach. Turtles come up on the beach in the evening and you can see them while snorkeling right in front of the cottage. Terri the host is quite easy to get ahold of if needed. It was also easy to fine (even in the pouring rain). Parking spot is quite small and would be hard for a larger car to get into the spot. (We had a Corolla). The inside of the cottage is well equipped. The problems we had we with the cleanliness of the unit. To be honest it could use a thorough cleaning. There was also a bit of an ant problem in the kitchen. We were not comfortable preparing food. I would use some pesticide spray on the counter but as soon as you brought out any food to prepare a meal there they were. Our expenses went up on this trip because we were eating away from the place.. I don’t make these comments to take away from the owner however as a person who only gets a holiday like this every few years I would have like to have known. I can be a little bit of a clean freak but perhaps cleaning whatever was on the wall behind the sliding door in the bathroom might be necessary. Great place if you are not a clean freak and don’t mind sharing you meal with ants.

Hated to Leave
Our stay was absolutely perfect for us. After a week in busy Waikiki, the peacefulness and much slower pace of the Northeast side of the island was perfect for the soul. The cottage itself was so welcoming-with everything one could need for beach living, and playing—and it was literally 20 steps to the beach! Everything from linens to kitchen stuff was clean and available, and the owner was always available to answer questions. …..and that lanai-our favorite place in the cottage!!! From early morning coffee/sunrises, to evening meals watching and listening to the ocean-it was simply an outstanding place to “be”. The sunrises were stunningly beautiful, the breezes were lovely, and if one is an early riser, you might be lucky enough to see the turtles (some HUGE) resting on the beach before they return to the ocean for the day. This was our second stay in the immediate area, and this cottage is, by far, the best fit for us! We look forward to visiting the island and staying at this little bit of paradise again. Aloha, and mahalo, Terrie, for sharing Paradise with us! 💞
