    Property is short walk to the beach. The 1946 bungalows are charming and comfortable. Street parking was always available. Two restaurants a block away. Was private and quiet.

    Charcoal bbq was very difficult to use in such a windy spot! Would have loved a tea kettle!

    Such an amazing location and great amenities for a very relaxing family vacation. Lots of space for everyone. We loved that beach chairs and umbrellas were available for us to use! We loved that there was a constant ocean breeze to cool off the space because there wasn’t AC.

    You could tell that elements of the two studio cottages that we stayed in had been updated (granite countertops) while other things were in need of a facelift (cabinetry). You can tell that being by the beach takes it toll.

    Location, location, location! A 2 minute walk from a gorgeous beach, a view of mountains on the opposite side of the road in a non touristy town off the beaten path. Our two studio cottages were clean and the linens and towels (including beach towels) were of good quality and excellent condition. Coin op laundry was a great convenience.

    No complaints. They have limited parking but we were always able to find street parking.

    This place was quiet and private and it is located on a beautiful beach with no crowds. It's a beautiful location. The property is nice and we have no complaints about the room or the accommodations. We stayed in cottage 9 which was the only one without air conditioning and we did not need it. (We stayed in February). It's a great affordable option especially if you don't want to stay near the more busy/touristy areas. That said, it is still very close (15 - 20 mins) to some great attractions - Kailua town and beach, Lanikai beach, OENO Winery, Hanauma Bay, Makapuʻu Point Lighthouse Trail, and Halona Blow Hole. We ate at a lot of great restaurants in Kailua.

    the cabin was very basic, the bed was comfortable for only a few nights, not the 7-8 we stayed there. the couch was tough to sleep on. no additional blankets. only 1 beach towel each and 2 bath towels each, everything else additional charge. outdated finishes and needs an upgrade.

    the location on the island was amazing, the almost private beach within walking distance was amazing, clean and just beautiful! free street parking was great and always available. the shower was clean and amazing pressure! we had a car, so it was a great location to do all the items on the island versus being in the busy waikiki and on the other side of the island

    I enjoyed that everything was extremly uncomplicated. The staff was super friendly and even help he when I locked myself out very early in the morning. The cottage was cute and very comfy. Everything was clean. The location was perfect. The beach is very close and easy to get to. Also there was no parking issue in the area.

    our fault for not noticing there was no air conditioner but they did supply us with a fan. So we left the doors open which are alittle hard to shut because of the swelling when you did want to close the two outside doors on kit & bath side. we did put out some bug repellent didn't know if it was just from the tropical area

    There was no breakfast included in our stay. It was great staying on the lower level since I"m turning 80 next month. Would have loved to stay upstairs for the View. Loved the close access to the sandy Beach and not crowed. I loved listening to the Ocean at nite from the living room. The Owner and Granpa were very nice and the cleaning lady was also very friendly. The bathroom was updated the Kitchen was nice, the 2 bedrooms were big .Loved the Big grasssy yard. there was also a large park next door with Beach access

    If I have to include something negative, I guess I'll say I wish the beach chairs were a bit newer and that there were more of them. But they were free for our use and sufficient.

    The cottages were perfect for our needs. A bit off the tourist path, which is exactly what we wanted, but easy to get in and out of so the drive to sites wasn't bad. The beach right at the property was amazing. Calm in the morning and good boogie boarding waves in the afternoon. Almost deserted at that spot. We had a lot to see but wish we would have taken more time to just lounge at Waimanalo beach. The furniture in the cottage wasn't the cushiest, but we weren't in Hawaii to sit in the room, so it didn't bother us. Staff was very friendly; we didn't need much help but they were present often and I expect very attentive to needs of those who needed them. Tip: Don't bother paying for parking, there is plenty of street parking within a block.

    Booking.com double-booked the room and could not help us, so we had to book another hotel room for our last night. Sorry, I will not book through booking.com again.
