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. ** This property only accepts one booking per 30 day period. If a full 30 day hold is not available, we will not be able to rent the home.** This property is a legally established dwelling that is rented for periods of 30 consecutive days or more at any one time “Questions, contact owner.”

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.
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
The space is just as described, very clean, and in a great location close to amazing beaches. The host was very accommodating and communicative. We can’t wait to visit again!
We absolutely loved the location and property of the home. The new addition of the AC was a major plus! Short walk to sunset beach. Highly recommend staying here and would stay again.
We just loved the property! Check in was easy, the cottage was perfect for us! We loved the beautiful new couch. Our first visit to Ohua did not disappoint 👏 we definitely recommend staying there. Hopefully its not booked for our next trip!

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.
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.
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!
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
Basic no-frills loft space on spacious lot, situated walking distance across the highway from world-class Sunset beach. Good eating at neighborhood food trucks.
We had a great time! Location couldn’t be better. A few repairs are needed but minor. Kitchen window opener is broken, one burner on the gas grill is inoperable.
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.
Very quiet and cozy place to stay minutes from the beach.
No a/c but you don't need it with the intermittent rains and tradewinds. You really get the whole experience !
What a beautiful experience we had. Everything was perfect. Within walking distance of the beach, our friends lived close by, I got to swim with the sharks. The house was so private and secluded from anybody and everybody else in the neighborhood. Thank you for accommodating such a comfortable living space
The property was great. The location was literally across the street from Sunset beach. The property is close to grocery stores and Halieva.
The property provides all of the ammenities needed including kitchen appliances, surfing equipment, and beach chairs. My only negative is the couch needs is old and uncomfortable and needs to be replaced.
This place is awesome. Small cute for one person (or a couple) on the north shore a good alternative to a hotel stay in Waikiki if u want peace and quiet.
The only gripe, ooooooo only gripe. No ac. But there's enough windows and fans to get a tunnel ram going.
I'll rebook if it's still avail. Great location! Great manager, great place!
Great area, close to the beach.
Perfect place for 2 ppl.
Shows like the pictures but doesn’t list that it is attached to the main house. Needs more privacy on the windows especially the windows that face the main house. No curtains on any window and other vacationers can see right in.
A couple windows have broken latch so are always open.
Property manager was great. Washer and toaster were broken but she had them replaced right away.
We had a lovely stay.
This property was so peaceful. The location is two minutes from the shore. We were able to easily walk across the road to the beach and just watch the ocean in the morning and especially the sunset. You can walk to Ted’s Bakery for breakfast. Try pretty much anything on the menu, but do not forget to get a glazer(they put Krispy Kreme to shame).
The property has an outdoor shower around back. There are several fans, but most of the time there was a breeze.
If you’re doing Oahu, stay on the North Shore. Buy your groceries from Costco or Walmart before going over as the closest grocery store is about double on most items.
