This was a great little place to get away. Perfect for my wife and I. Right on the ocean and at a quiet part of the island to be able to get away and relax.

Just what we were looking for

This place was just what we were looking for after spending the first half of our trip on the south side of the island. Communication with the property owners was prompt and easy. The beach is steps from your door and offers great snorkeling with plenty of fish and turtles. It’s in a great location with is access to plenty of great local food and businesses. Would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful Stay!

This is the third time me any my family have stayed at Pats at Punaluu. We have stayed in the building units before, and this cottage was definitely better! It was spacious and the high ceilings made it feel even bigger. And the ocean view!!! So beautiful to see the sunrise every morning and the waves throughout the day. We had a wonderful time!

Beach right out your door!

Wonderful place to stay. Great location on the windward side of Oahu making it easy to visit the northshore or the Makapu’u Point Lighthouse. Very close to the Polynesian Cultural Center. Don’t pass up the Dole Whip and visit one of the many shrimp trucks In the area. Thanks for the extras: beach chairs, cooler, umbrella!

Clean, well decorated, everything you could want in a rental.

We loved the property. Waking up to the sunrise, ocean breezes, right on the beach. The bed was comfortable, the kitchen well equipped, every detail taken care of. We made several meals on the kitchen. Snorkel equipment came in handy. Beautifully taken care of, We look forward to visiting again.

Great Place would come back

Pro's --- clean, right on the beach, not crowded at all, great communications and check in, nice large king bed, lots of windows that open, VERY nice shower and bathroom, open air feel to it. Cons --- odd layout, very small kitchen (but works), gets hot in the late morning w/ the big windows, not the best for privacy with all the windows and high-rise next door. Would stay again.

Our first VRBO experience has is spoiled!

Our condo was so comfortable, and the location was everything I dreamed of. When George, the owner, wrote that the beach was just steps away he was so right! Our experience was so positive that VRBO will be our first search for our next trip. As for this property, do not hesitate to choose this one! Condo was stocked with everything you could need for meals, check out process was simple. We want to come back to this condo again!

Serenity in Paradise

If you are looking for a place to unwind, decompress, slow down and literally soak in paradise…this is the place to be! Our stay was perfect! I enjoyed the sunrises and the ocean breeze in the evening. George was a great communicator and provided everything we needed. It was hard to leave and go back to Honolulu for the remainder of our trip after experiencing the North Shore. Loved everything about it!

Paradise

If you are looking for peace and quiet and want to connect with the aloha spirit this is the place to stay. This property offered everything you would need and the fact you can hear the ocean as you lay in bed is what I loved about this place. Everyone was awsome, the local stores along the way was great and you are not far from any destination you want to see. Mahalo nui loa for allowing us to use your home and we hope to come back next year.

Beautiful and Relaxing

We loved the view and the sounds of the ocean! The ocean and beach are beautiful. We were able to see sea turtles swimming and, on the beach, such a bonus! There is plenty of water and beach gear to use while at the property. The kitchen is small but very well stocked. No air conditioning but plenty of fans provided to be able to stay comfortable while inside. We had an issue with the wifi but once reported it was taken care of quickly. Thank you for sharing this wonderful property with us.

Slice of paradise!

Such a great stay! Our host, George was very professional and quick to respond to anything we needed. Check in was simple and worked on our time. The property has a gorgeous ocean view and yard. Despite the big condo building next door, the beach was never crowded and was a great place to hangout and escape the crowd. So many great food places and necessities were very close and allowed for a comfortable stay. I will say, I was worried about the no AC when we booked, but it was actually quite comfortable and very manageable!! This is a great property located in such a great part of town. Go for it!!

Beautiful view, steps from the beach

My husband and I visited for our honeymoon, and the view/location could not have been more perfect. You can hear the ocean waves from inside, and you wake up to the sunrise. It was only steps away from the beach, and we walked the beach every night. Two ceiling fans, two tower fans, and cracked windows (screened) created perfect airflow and a comfortable temperature inside. The host was very accommodating when we needed to change our stay dates, and when we asked to add an additional night; however, communication was difficult at times. I needed to contact Vrbo support multiple times to assist with paying for the additional night. Our first night here was also our travel day from the mainland U.S., and by that morning we had not received check-in details - I had to message asking for the unit number, access code, and parking information. When we arrived, the access code given did not work. The host responded promptly to messages; however, these details should be provided proactively. Overall, I highly recommend this cottage and would return! It’s in a great location, the view is stunning, and being directly on a not-crowded beach is priceless.

Awesome stay at an awesome place

Wow! What a great location! Superb beach for snorkeling, beautiful views, the sunrises were spectacular and great people all around. The amenities were more than expected! Although we had stopped to purchase several staples, we found them already there! Not sure if previous visitors left them, but we had dish soap, laundry soap, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, salt and pepper, ketchup, mayo, mustard and even sugar! Plenty of bathing towels AND beach towels! Absolutely gracious and appreciated. The decor is so charming and the atmosphere was refreshing and very relaxing. Really hate to leave.
