Waimanalo Beach Cottages in HI 96795, open September–December.
Waimanalo Beach Cottages stands apart as one of Oahu's few beachfront estate venues offering direct sand access and on-site overnight accommodations for your entire wedding party.
This 3.2-acre property features multiple cottages and open-air spaces that allow you to design ceremonies and receptions without hotel logistics.
The calm, protected waters and dramatic Ko'olau mountain backdrop create a naturally stunning setting that requires minimal additional decoration.
We recently had a three day stay at cottage 1and it was excellent. The place was clean and neat with good amenities for a beach stay. the kitchen had basic supplies and bath with towels and also beach towels. Of course the best part was its location to the beach; excellent, clean, and not crowded. The owners were great and responsive to our inquiries. There a few eating places to walk to and a short drive north to pick up other food and groceries is very convenient. Overall a really great stay, highly recommended.
