Stargazing Mountainside Cottage by Pristine Beaches
This beautiful, breezy, and quiet cottage in the stunning Makaha Valley offers a wonderful opportunity for you to immerse in Hawaii's peaceful nature. Surrounded by gorgeous ridges and valley, you will enjoy amazing views all around. The backyard patio is perfect for stargazing, morning coffee, and evening conversations. You will love the lush, abundant tropical plants. Just 5 min away from a 7-mile stretch of some very isolated, pristine beaches on Oahu.
Your large private dwelling (1615 square feet) is newly constructed and equipped with high-end furniture and all needed amenities to bring you great comfort and convenience. The cottage is near Makua Kea'au Forest Reserve. Majestic view of the east ridge of a giant crater from the backyard. You will have the entire place to enjoy. The house features a living room with 14-ft tall ceiling and a TV room with a Samsung 65" Smart TV and free Netflix. Smart TV is also available in the master bedroom and 2nd bedroom. Comfortable genuine leather sofa, chairs, and sofa bed throughout the first floor. All other rooms have 9-ft tall ceilings. Each section of the living room and each bedroom has its own tasteful decoration theme. Mitsubishi split AC helps keep you cool in the summer.

Driving towards the west end once you are on Farrington Highway, you will find beaches with much less people so you can enjoy your beach time more.

About the host
Hosted by William
Many guests called the cottage a lovely, beautiful home. It's furnished with high-end furniture and beautiful artwork. Each section/room of the house has its own decor theme. The living room is decorated with Klimt masterpiece reproductions. Modern impressionist style for one bedroom, dreamy and fairytale atmosphere for another, and tropical decor for the master bedroom. Both the rooms and backyard offers a very cozy feeling to guests.
The host is half-Hawaiian with the deepest love for the unique island and eager to share his love and knowledge about the island, the culture, the history with guests upon asking. He strives to provide a very joyful experience to guests who choose to stay in the cottage.
