Go Back In Time To The Real Hawaii And The Ultimate Getaway.

Beautiful ocean views surround you in this romantic cottage on a secluded, white, sandy beach. Relax in comfort and listen to the waves gently breaking on a distant reef. Sunrises and moonrises on the horizon will surprise and amaze you. This cozy 500 sq. ft. beachfront cottages has a spacious feeling, fully equipped kitchens, shared washer/ dryer, Flat-screen TV. Parking and Wifi are included.

Swimming, relaxing, BBQs, and walking on the beach and are my favorite things to do here; but there are great tourist attractions nearby to enjoy too. The Polynesian Cultural Center is 5 miles north, the Turtle Bay Resort is 10 miles north, followed by 7 miles of the world's most famous surfing beaches and the historic surfing town of Haleiwa. Pack lightly, all you'll need are a few clothes, your favorite food items and you won't want to leave once you get here! (Each cottage is a 4-plex building and this listing features an upstairs unit with plenty of breezes and more privacy than the downstairs units.)

Great stay!
We stayed in a newly renovated condo which was beautiful, clean and comfortable. Everything we needed was provided. Location is perfect, beach is amazing and not crowded. Lots of sea turtles here! We would certainly stay again!

Mixed feelings
wish instead stars there was a 1-10 scale. I would the give a 8. There a couple of reasons for this that I will explain. When we arrived at the cottage we booked we discovered that it was occupied.Confused I eventually got in contact with the owner. She stated she tried to call to say the cottage was being renovated (?)but the number was wrong.My fault.I later received two emails, I never saw till the day after my arrival.( the notation on it said yesterday).I think there could have been sooner notice by email. Being there was a family in it and it was presumably under renovation , I later E-mailed her that I was concerned that she may have squatters. So we relocated to the alternate site, that was in a nice spot, and linens, bathroom kitchen clean,comfy bed.Nice ocean breeze and sound for sleeping.That said it could use some love. There was clutter that has collected over time, curtains that could use a good wash.That said we did enjoy our spot which was actually a better location then the original. There is nothing like watching the sunrise over the ocean, or sun.In conclusion a solid 8.The lack of love my not have bothered us so much if we had not seen how nicely decorated A1 was, or the nice decor we have experienced during other visits to Pats. As well as a nagging (feeling) I say again feeling, is we were bumped because A1 could get a week instead of 4, to a site that felt we did not get what we paid for.

Awesome location, needs deep cleaning
Location and cleanliness are the most important items to us when we travel. The location was very good. Neighbors were super nice. The cleanliness of the condo was not good. This place needs a deep cleaning and replacement of the kitchen supplies, pans small appliances etc or at least a good cleaning of them. Bugs in the blender and grime on other appliances.. if you like very firm beds, then you will like this condo.. The patio was nice. Communication was very delayed from the host. I understand she works full time but there should be a back up phone number for emergencies to reach someone else.

Quiet, peaceful ... lovely location.
The cottage is small with great use of space to provide all you need to feel comfortable. The lanai has plenty of room to watch sunrises, whales breaching, the ocean and tropical rain showers. The owner was easy to contact with questions or to share information.

Thank you so much for sharing your cottage with us! It was perfect for our honeymoon! The cottage was clean and very accommodating. Everything we needed was provided and we got a lot of use out of the beach equipment. The beach was literal steps from the porch which was amazing! It was quiet and relaxing. I definitely recommend this place to others!!

Wonderful get away
The pictures don't do this cute bungalow justice...it is literally right on the beach, you will fall asleep to the sound of the waves, and awaken to the most beautiful sunrises! We enjoyed the lanai so much-we ate every meal there, even brought our meals back so we could enjoy the views! Thank you Karon for sharing your beach bungalow with us! We hope to one day return to Oahu, and we will again be staying here!

Cute little cottage right off the beach
Adorable little quaint cottage just steps to the beach. Sliding door provides privacy to bedroom. Everything was supplied for us. We just needed clothes and bathing suites! Cottage porch was great for eating breakfast or having coffee so close to the beach. Very clean. Definitely recommend.

Perfect Paradise getaway!
I stayed here for an entire week with my family and loved every minute. It is exactly as Karon describes, beach front, cosy cottage and so affordable! I went with my family, two boys ages 8 and 11. We had a blast exploring the beach just outside our place. It was also conveniently located to get to the North Shore quickly and to Hanauma Bay and Pearl Harbor. The kitchen was well stocked, the beds were comfortable and the ocean view was just perfect. Karon was easy to reach and quick to get back with any questions I had. The wifi was no problem to log-on to (although I really wanted to be as unplugged as possible). I am recommending this place to all my friends and family for sure. I am already counting the days until I get to return!

Best place on the Island.....
If you are looking for a nice quiet and relaxing place to stay this is it. Oahu is very beautiful but this side of the island is the best. No worrying about crowds, parking spaces, resort fees or even internet fees. This is the place!!! It's very peaceful and safe. My family enjoyed our week at the cottage and would go back in a heartbeat. The owner is very kind and great to work with. We are very grateful that she shared her vacation home with us. Don't hesitate to book this cottage you won't be disappointed.

Very charming, very nice.
I think the WiFi info was not correct. Not worked as per instructions. And they differed per owner email and from Home Away.Get a kcup machine, include alot of bottled water. Fresh Flowers on table.It met our needs for a honeymoon and despite being dated all said did not detract from our stay. Would stay again here,absolutely. Beautiful view, semi private beach,right outside the back. Really amazing. A lot for a little.

My wife and I really enjoyed staying in our cottage on the North Shore! It was very quite and relaxing away from all the tourist. Right on the beach too which was an awesome view and it was like a private beach to ourselves. We recommend this place to couples or even families.

Close to the beach
We had a fairly unfortunate experience. Expecting that I would receive details prior to our arrival on Oahu, nothing was sent and we were unable to contact the owner. We were pretty much stranded with our 1 year old daughter during a massive rain storm on the windward side of the island at night trying to access a condo. According to the host she sent the information but used her private email instead of the website (Homeaway) which unfortunately went into my junk folder never to be seen. We spent our first evening navigating through home away's customer service sitting in the car charging the cell with spotty cell service and a one year old child crying in the back seat. Homeway's customer service was prompt and after a few hours they were able to get us into the condo. Once in, we had no direction. The internet and tv didn't work and no information about the laundry, pool, garbage and so on. Homeaway informed us to contact the owner of the property to manage the situation but our contact (Karon) was not answering the phone and so we asked to be placed into a similar condo but Homeaway could only offer us a shared room in a house a couple miles away which was unacceptable. As for the owner of the studio she contacted us a few days later and put us up in a similar studio in the same complex. She promised us a refund for the nights without internet/tv but we have yet to hear anything. The place is situated in a beautiful spot with gorgeous views of the ocean. The condo is a little rickety but quaint and charming. Beware of the giant cockroaches run around on the floor at night.

Great Beach! Great Price!
My husband and I spent a wonderful week in this clean, cute cottage. They are situated on a lovely beach. I got up every morning and did yoga on the grass lawn, overlooking the ocean, watching the sun come up. We snorkeled right off the beach, and I even ran into a turtle! There were not many other people staying there when we were, so we often had the beach all to ourselves. The buildings are definitely sea worn, and will need updating, but they are clean and cute and none of this affected our enjoyment. Located near shopping, and lots of great food options. Would definitely stay here again. Great location, great price.

A Flashback to the Past
We have had a charming retro beach vacation... A flash of the past for us! Our cottage with plumeria in full bloom... Gentle breeze thru coco palms... Music of ocean... Took us backto our childhood. Taking home unforgettable memories of sunrises... A little sand still between my toes! Our grandchildren said this was their best time ever! They are 5 years old. The brackish water streamlet was a big hit! We build sand castles and left the real world for A simpler life... Sun , sea, & sand! It was simply grand! The Clay Ohana

You couldn't ask for a friendlier, local-style vacation spot.
Aloha Karon, Thank you so much for this choice vacation spot. We thoroughly enjoyed our 4-day vacation at Punalu'u. The neighbors are friendly. The cottage is well appointed and comfortable. The sunrises are fantastic, too. I also really appreciated that there was a little grocery store, Kaya's, just down the road that had everything we needed, including hooks and floats for our fishing gear, and ice cream :) One of the sliding screen doors at the back patio was jammed because of rusted tracks. A simple cleaning out to free it up. Sadly, we had an injury with a manowar jellyfish sting on one of our little ones while swimming. I would suggest that some instructions be left in the units about what to look for on the waves (especially on windy days) and how to treat a jellyfish sting. We're from Hawaii, so we had a good idea how to handle it. But for the visitors enjoying the ocean, I personally went up to each one on the beach to give them a gentle talk to watch over their children in the waters. This is the ideal getaway from Honolulu! We definitely want to come back again next year. Mahalo, Godfrey family

relaxing stay
Everything was as described, no surprises. The property was clean and fully stocked, plenty of towels and linens, beach toys, chairs, and pillows. Google maps didn't work using the address sent by the owner, we ended up driving around a little longer than necessary, but in the end found it based off pictures and reading mailboxes. Also the parking pass was not inside when we arrived so we ended up getting a notice on our car from security. Overall a great stay and i would recommend to anyone wanted to be away from the hustle and bustle of the city!

Perfect, beautiful, outstanding property!!!!
We had such an amazing stay! The cottage was PERFECT for our family (my husband and I and our 2 teenage daughters). If you love listening to the waves, waking up to beautiful sunrises, walking on a beautiful beach steps away from your door, and no crowds this place is ideal. Karon was the best owner to corrispond with. She is so prompt with emails and texts which we greatly appreciated. Thank you Karon for sharing your beautiful cottage with us!
