About this property

Quintessential Cottage at Sunset Beach!~!

Just a 3-minute walk to world-famous Sunset Beach, this charming cottage is tucked away on a spacious one-acre parcel on Oahu’s North Shore. Enjoy the best of both worlds – serene privacy surrounded by nature, yet only moments from the warm waters of the Pacific Ocean.

Located across the street from the beach with an address on Kam Hwy, the cottage is set back from the road, so you’ll enjoy peace and quiet with no road noise. It’s completely separate from the main house (see listing #933050), with its own private amenities – including a washer/dryer and dedicated parking. The only shared feature is the driveway.

Perfect for a solo traveler or a couple, the cozy loft features a queen bed. The kitchen is equipped with all the essentials except an oven, and there's a propane grill on the lanai for outdoor cooking. Fully furnished with linens, beach towels, and Wi-Fi provided – just bring your swimsuit and sunscreen!

Note: Maximum occupancy is 2 adults. Not suitable for children.

I’m leery to post reviews before knowing what the host wrote, but… My wife and I were spending our 10-year anniversary in Oahu. It was difficult, a year out, finding a property A) essentially “on the beach” B) affordable and C) quality.Cathy’s place hits all these markers. Great location, not too pricey, beautiful place.

Perfect spot

This place was perfect! North shore is the place to stay if you visit Oahu. No big crowds and a very laid back and chill environment. This house met our needs perfectly. We stayed for 10 days and wished we could do another 10. AC unit worked fantastic and had all the necessities you need for a stay. Also had beach chairs and umbrellas and some other miscellaneous beach gear for our use. Very very happy to stay here

Beautiful Cottage by the Ocean

Cathy's place was the perfect location for our north shore Oahu trip. It was exactly as pictured and had everything we needed during our stay. We especially liked the outdoor grill! Having sunset beach just across the road was also wonderful. Beautiful location to sunbathe and watch some surfing.

One week solo stay, first time Hawaii.

Amazing property, only slight downside was the no AC, but with a few fans it’s manageable. Perfect location to stay if you want to experience the North Shore!

Beautiful house and location

Fantastic property with everything you need, just across the road from sunset beach. Perfect for one person or a couple. Loved the outdoor shower too. However the lack of privacy and noise was a bit of an issue - no blinds or curtains on any of the windows, and the bamboo next to the house will hang loudly on the house all night with any wind

Getaway

Hreat location. Good food nearby. Great beach justvacross the street. Read the reviews, there is an attached house that is rented out separately. The only issue we had as other have stated was the lack of blinds. It needs a set of blinds on the windows between the batroomnand the other house. One you walk out of the bathroom you can see the deck and they can see you.

Great property and great value. Has everything you’ll need. Host communicates well and check in is easy. Wife and I stayed for 7 days. Great camp if you live simply and just want to enjoy the north shore surf of Hawaii. I would like to return during big wave season!

Pūpūkea Hawaii

This was an extremely beautiful and peaceful cottage. Great location away from the tourist and business of Waikiki and Honolulu . With a short walk to Sunset Beach at end of the driveway. Would recommend renting car for this location to explore the island at your leisure but if not something you want to do you can get here via bus. We had such an amazing experience with this beautiful little cozy place to call home while visiting.Would highly recommend and definitely be booking again in near future.
