Book Punaluu hotels

It was the perfect size for me and my spouse. There was construction happening during business hrs, but they weren’t too loud. We loved how close the cottage was to the beach. The lanai was the best part: eating our meals with the ocean breeze. If we had to complain about something, we would say that it does get warm in the cottage. We understand many places in hawaii don’t have ac units, so we knew what we had coming. We tried leaving all the windows open to let the air flow through, so it helped a little. Terrie is great with communication. Answered all our questions when needed.

We loved every minute!

This was a wonderful and affordable place to stay on Oʻahu’s North Shore. While the building is older, it’s well maintained and offers a peaceful, laid-back atmosphere that feels like classic Hawaii.The highlight is definitely the beach—calm, uncrowded, and perfect for kids. The waves break far out, leaving the shoreline waters tranquil for swimming or just relaxing in the sun. It’s also a great home base, with many of Oʻahu’s scenic spots and cultural attractions just a short drive away.The rooms are spacious and comfortable, with a generous living area, full kitchen, and plenty of room to stretch out. There was an ample supply of towels, sheets, and even beach towels provided. The beach chairs were a great and appreciated surprise. One downside is that the bedroom faces the highway, and you can hear cars passing by throughout the night. This obviously isn't in the owners control, but something to consider. We ended up sleeping on the pullout couch facing the ocean, which actually made for a great night’s rest with the sound of the waves, and a peaceful morning waking up to a beautiful sunrise and coffee on the lanai.Security is very good, and the property feels safe and welcoming. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly, beachfront stay that gives you a taste of local life away from the big resorts, this is a great value. We’d definitely come back!

It’s a great place for a small family. There was four of us and it worked well especially with the kids being younger. We were only there to eat and sleep, so it worked. It’s a little more of a drive to restaurants and activities. We are always wanting to stay away from the bigger city and this was perfect. Great location with access to the beach. Had some basic beach equipment available to use. Hoping for future visits able to stay here again.

The view was amazing and the breeze from the ocean was nice. Loved waking up to hearing the waves.

Excellent communication. We felt like at home. They had everything we needed. So happy with this rental
