Aloha! Your 2BR Honolulu cottage is so well-located, you won’t even need a car. Find yourself just down the street from the Honolulu Zoo and Aquarium and right at the edge Kapiolani Park -- the largest park on Oahu.
Adventurous vacationers will appreciate that legendary surfing at Waikiki Beach is just a 10-minute walk from your door, and the Diamond Head hiking trailhead is also close at hand.
The local farmers market is the place to be three times per week for fresh produce (perfect for crafting tasty meals in your full kitchen) and homemade wares. And don’t miss a visit to Queen Kapiolani Garden, right in your own backyard.
ABOUT THE COTTAGE
Tropical décor makes the living room extra inviting -- and the layout is ideal for socializing, with plenty of seating for the whole “ohana.” There’s a teak wood bench with comfy cushions, two wicker chairs, and a reading table for two.
In the peaceful backyard, you’ll find plenty of room to relax on the lush grassy area, or enjoy dinner alfresco at the picnic table in the front yard.
Pretty and practical, the kitchen boasts glossy new white appliances and granite counters, with plenty of cabinet space for storage and a moveable center island for additional prep space.
With two bedrooms, the home sleeps four comfortably. After a day at the beach, kick back in the charming master bedroom, complete with a wrought-iron queen bed, flat-screen TV, and plenty of storage in a teak dresser and closet.
Adjacent, the second bedroom offers two twin beds with lovely wrought-iron bed frames. Large windows let in plenty of natural light.
A full bathroom features a subway-tiled tub/shower combination and extra storage.

Guest amenities include a stackable washer/dryer and complimentary Wi-Fi. Please note: Window AC units are in the bedrooms only.

THE LOCATION
Fun for all ages, the Honolulu Zoo (10-minute walk) and Aquarium (14 minutes) delight with creatures from the water, land, and air. The 300 acres of Kapiolani Park (8-minute walk) are waiting for you to explore and enjoy. Admire the vivid foliage at the Queen Kapiolani Garden, located right behind your rental.
World-famous Waikiki Beach (10 minutes on foot) is known for surfing, but also has tons of other watersports like sailing, stand-up paddleboarding, and of course, swimming in the warm waters of the Pacific. Stock up on fresh produce and meat at the local farmers market, taking place every Monday, Thursday, and Saturday.
Hike the trails of Diamond Head (8 minutes away) and enjoy fresh air and incredible views. You can also honor those who lost their lives at the Pearl Harbor Memorial, less than an hour away.

The cottage is in the most convenient location with beautiful view of Diamond Head from bedrooms. Walking distance to great food, cross Kapiolani Park to beach in 15 mins. It was spotless! Only minor downside was drains were slow and would back up in kitchen and bathroom, likely because of older plumbing. We would love to stay here again.

If you are looking for a bit of solitude with comfort while still being central this is the spot. Conveniently located out of the hustle and bustle but still close. Lovely area restaurants to walk to. Just be ready for parking (a small car) in the driveway or use the lot in the park. Open the windows and enjoy the breezes.
Such a great, comfortable, quiet little cottage that is just right outside Waikiki. You will love hearing the birds (and roosters). You can take a short walk to get to Pioneer Saloon for a plate lunch or Bogarts cafe for breakfast. The beach and the zoo are all right there. Just a wonderful, restful little spot for when you are in Honolulu. If you want action this is not the place for you. No tv- just a smart tv in bedroom. Open up the windows and enjoy the breeze and peacefulness. And yes be prepared for the driveway - just use the parking lot of the park next door for coming and going.

We really enjoyed our stay at this cottage! There was plenty of space for our family and we could walk to so many places - restaurants, beaches, the zoo and aquarium. It was very clean and quite spacious.

This unit was beautifully furnished and in a fantastic location.Truly walking distance to Waikiki's beaches,entertainment and restaurants,and there are other mom&pop restaurants even closer to walk to.The unit was immaculately clean, the beds were very comfortable and the kitchen (which we didn't use) was furnished with enough stuff to cook if you so choose. It's right next to a wonderful pocket park where you can go have your coffee in the morning and watch the roosters and other birds forage.The one downside was the is super narrow.We actually tore the side view mirror off our first rental car and returned it for a much smaller car which was also difficult to back out. There's a parking lot for the park right there but a sign says no overnight parking and we didn't want to get towed so we continued to use the driveway. FYI there is no TV in this unit if that matters to you. I would absolutely stay here sure to eat at Uncle Bo's PuPu Bar and Grill and get the Kalua Pig Fried Rice and cajun seared Ahi and the malasada puff's at Leonard's Bakery for breakfast.

vintage cottage in mint condition
We loved this property so close to cafes and parks. Surprised to hear the roaming roosters at 4 am ... other than that the cottage was snug and quiet.

Great stay!
Great place, cosy, tidy, everything you need in a nice environment close to everything: we loved it! Only minus is the property manager is actually a call center so not very reactive in case of any pb but other than that perfect house!

Great place to stay
This is a cosy house in a good location. It's near some excellent Diamond Head restaurants and cafes and not too far from the beach. It had everything we needed, though a few more kitchen utensils and extra blankets would have been helpful.
