Island Style House with a deck !! Private,Gated, Air Conditioning,steps to beach

This cottage is in a great location with a five minute walk to a secluded beach. Behind the main house on a gated property, this property is the perfect size for a couple looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Honolulu or Waikiki, but your close enough to get to everything with a quick drive. Well stocked kitchen and all the towels you need for your trips to the beach! Gilles and Angela are wonderful and kind hosts.

Gilles and Angela were the perfect hosts and whilst the cottage is on their property we felt that we were secluded. The cottage is Immaculately decorated with beautiful furnishings and surf touches throughout. The bed was a little too soft but the room was cool with ocean breezes negating the need to turn on the air conditioning.

Gilles was really helpful with advice and tips about the surrounding areas, hiking and surfing spots.

If you want to avoid tourist resorts I higjly recommend this cottage.

This was my 9th time to stay at Gilles and Angela's place, so that right there should tell you something. Waimanalo Beach is just hands down the best beach anywhere, beautiful view, great sand, best swimming, never overcrowded, even on its busiest days (just the weekend). I have a ritual of having my coffee on the beach each morning and most days I'll see two or three joggers or others enjoying, but that's it. Where else in the world is that true on such a magnificent beach? If you have a car, you're just 20 minutes from Honolulu or Waikiki, Kailua and Hawaii Kai have many great places to shop and eat, but the large kitchen in the cottage provides you with all you need when you decide to stay home (which I do a lot!). The comfortable beds, even air conditioning in the bedroom (for those who, unlike me, don't prefer the gorgeous cool island trade winds all night in what I call the "breeze" room, where I always sleep). All the beach chairs and boogie boards you could want, large umbrella-covered deck with a big patio table, huge Weber barbecue; you can't find a better place. On top of that, Gilles and Angela are two of the best people anywhere: they will leave you your privacy, but are available when you need something. There isn't a better vacation spot...truly paradise in every way!

This is our third year staying at Gilles’ and Angela’s house in Waimanolo. Even though our family has grown since our first stay we still love this house and think of it as our home away from home! They are perfect hosts, the home has everything you could need and the beach is the best on the island! Mahalo for another wonderful stay!

Thank you so much Gilles and Angela for your heartwarming hospitality!! 💕
