We rented the small Honu Cottage for 5 days, 2 Adults one 12 year old and it was perfect for us. Everything is new and clean as it has been remodeled. The view from the cottage, yard, and pier are spectacular. We enjoyed the views, outdoor shower, swings, swimming, snorkeling, hanging out on the pier, and on the small beach. We were fortunate to take a ride on the catamaran with the owner and his dog which was a highlight of our trip. The Owner and Property Manager are both responsive and laid back. The rides into town for shops and restaurants to Kailua or Waikiki are simple and quick 25 - 35 minutes and about 15 minutes to Hawaii Kai. One of our favorite beaches on the island, Waimanalo Beach Park, is a few minutes drive away for larger waves, boogie boarding, swimming and soaking up the sun. We actually didn't even go this time, just stopped for a few minutes after checking out, because we loved hanging at the cottage grounds. This property is perfect for parties of 3, possibly 4. It is relaxing and gorgeous. Thank you for allowing us a little slice of aloha! Definitely recommend; I LOVED the constant beauty! Thank you Mike & Kalia for your aloha spirit and making our trip so memorable!
