About the area

Punaluu

Located in Hauula, this cottage is in a rural area and on the beach. Laie Falls Trail and Turtle Bay Faizo Course are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those wishing to experience the area's natural beauty can explore Turtle Bay Beach and Hau'ula Forest Reserve. Senator Fong's Plantation & Gardens and Waimea Arboretum and Botanical Garden are also worth visiting. Scuba diving and snorkeling offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with horse riding and cycling nearby.

Amazing Views, Lanai
Perfect property for a couple. Although, the place is a little dated and tight, the views can't be beat. Walking right onto a beautiful beach was the best feature of this property. Terrie is a great host and called to check up on us and see if we made it in okay. She also provided great tips on where to spot turtles in the early hours of the morning. Pros: on a beautiful beach, amazing lanai, thoughtfully furnished with all essential items, good internet, walking distance to shops and amazing food trucks Cons: tight space, a little dated, no a/c or dishwasher, noise from neighboring units. Overall, we had a positive experience and recommended for a couple who are willing to overlook some of the drawbacks.

Great little cottage on the ocean with all the comforts of home
Cute little cottage on the beach. We saw turtles nesting on the beach and swam with them right outside. Great winds kept us cool at night Kitchen/laundry and all the amenities of home. Terrie was a thoughtful and responsive host-even checked in on us when the power was out in the area. The location was perfect for us to set out on adventures all over Oahu. Fantastic cottage to use as your home base and a home away from home. Quiet area, but life starts early on the island and you can hear roosters and people outside. Not an issue for us, we were trying to make use of every minute, but would be hard to sleep late if that’s your lifestyle . Loved this little cottage with its beautiful lanai

Punaluu cottage
This cottage has great potential. It is a lovely location right on the beach. Turtles come up on the beach in the evening and you can see them while snorkeling right in front of the cottage. Terri the host is quite easy to get ahold of if needed. It was also easy to fine (even in the pouring rain). Parking spot is quite small and would be hard for a larger car to get into the spot. (We had a Corolla). The inside of the cottage is well equipped. The problems we had we with the cleanliness of the unit. To be honest it could use a thorough cleaning. There was also a bit of an ant problem in the kitchen. We were not comfortable preparing food. I would use some pesticide spray on the counter but as soon as you brought out any food to prepare a meal there they were. Our expenses went up on this trip because we were eating away from the place.. I don’t make these comments to take away from the owner however as a person who only gets a holiday like this every few years I would have like to have known. I can be a little bit of a clean freak but perhaps cleaning whatever was on the wall behind the sliding door in the bathroom might be necessary. Great place if you are not a clean freak and don’t mind sharing you meal with ants.

About the host

Hosted by Terrie

Host profile image
I have lived in Hawaii all my life and finally got a place near the ocean to enjoy in my Senior years. I spend days here and have a difficult time going back to my city house. I love fishing and swimming and can watch my fishing pole from the living room, however, now I can also enjoy the sound of the waves, the beautiful mornings and lovely sunsets from my little Hale.

Why they chose this property

I have rented house all the way down the shore of Punaluu, Hauula, and Laie. This area was always my favorite because of the excellent beach that is never crowded. To be able to stay in my swim suit all day going into the water, out to cook, into the water, out for a drink and back into the water is the true Hawaiian Lifestyle.

What makes this property unique

This little cottage actually is enjoyed by all my family and friends. It is just the right size to entertain or just be an intimate hideaway. The right music at sunset will make for a wonderful memory.
