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!

Enjoyed the cottage very much. Woke up everyday to a beautiful sunrise on the beach. Close to Polynesian Center and Kualoa Ranch, and great local restaurants - Papa Ole's and Seven Brothers Burgers.

The views were amazing! The condo was clean and simple.

We really enjoyed our stay at Sharon's lovely home. Everything we needed was there, very comfortable and clean. Lovely to be right on the beach, close to restaurants and supermarket. We'd definitely stay again. Thank you.

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.

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!

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.

Staycation or vacation?!? Pick this spot!!! My family and I absolutely loved it here and will definitely book again in the future!!!!!

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.

Amazing location! The cottage was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Shopping close by, as well as the spectacular beach. Would not hesitate to come back again!

Very cozy Oceanfront condo. We stayed in the R cottage for a week and really enjoyed it. There was everything going we needed in it and Karon was very responsive to the questions we had and gave great suggestions on food in the area and activities. Even though this is part of a large condo complex we felt it was quite private and very relaxing. It was fantastic to lay in bed and watch TV while you stare out at the ocean. We listened to the waves all night long and just had an all around great time. We would definitely stay again

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.

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.

Our stay was great. The fourplex was as what we were told and pictures are exact. So close to the beach. Other neighbors were friendly. The security guard was helpful. Very clean place and complex. Excellent instruction for our stay.

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

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
