A cool and romantic bedroom features a queen size bed with ceiling fan, and beautiful island art to create a sensual and very Hawaiian type of ambiance. Guests repeatedly tell me how at home they feel here, with the cozy atmosphere and attention to detail so evident. The cottage is nestled in a large tropical garden filled with banana and papaya trees, colorful flowers and the fragrant aroma of plumerias floating on the ocean breeze. Birdsong and the sound of the ocean surf fill the garden with its own special music. The location is ideal, in a residential country setting and only two houses from one of the most beautiful beaches on the island (in 2001 National Geographic named it one of the most beautiful beaches in the world!). The beach is totally undeveloped, just miles of undisturbed beauty with the stunning grandeur of the Ko'olau Mountains hugging the coastline in a spectacular embrace.

All this is only a two minute walk from the cottage! A great cottage has to have a great front porch. Here you will find a spacious (partially covered) lanai with a table for dining and a comfortable sofa ideal for reading a book and gazing out at the beautiful mountain views. After a tropical rain, cascading waterfalls all along the mountain range will take your breath away! In the back there is a private yard lush with tropical plants. The backyard has a gas barbecue grill with another dining area and a hammock (the ideal way to relax!) perfect for star gazing at night or lounging under the endless summer sun. Welcome to a little piece of paradise. Restore your spirit and feel the peace within. Let the sound of the waves caress you to sleep at night and embrace the morning with another perfect day at the beach.
