A hidden piece of paradise
Incredible location, amazing sunrises, most beautiful beach on the island, and best hosts ever. Gordon and Vlasta make sure that you have every thing you need to enjoy your stay....even sharing Gordon's famous Mai Tai recipe. The cottage is comfortable, clean and fully equipped. Close to Kailua for all the necessities and great restaurants but far enough away that you truly feel like you are in paradise. Can't wait to return.

Truly a slice of paradise!
We had such a wonderful vacation! I'm a former Hawaii resident, and when we return for a visit, we much prefer a "local style" experience than a hotel/condo/resort type. Paddlers Dream is probably the best place my husband and I have found yet. The little cottage was spotless and had everything we could possibly need, from the fully equipped kitchen to the towels, beach towels and chairs, and even a washer and dryer. The beds were very comfortable too. As others have noted, the outdoor shower was wonderful (both hot and cold water)--we didn't ever use the one in the bathroom. It was pure heaven to step outside and take a short walk to sit at the water's edge--neither of us are big "be-on-the sand" people (in fact, there isn't much sand there, especially at high tide), and we spent most of our time relaxing, just a few feet from the surf but above the seawall. There are steps down to the beach/ocean access, and it was private and delightful. Gordon and Vlasta are perfect hosts--warm, welcoming, accessible yet very respectful of our privacy. We can't say enough good things about our entire experience, and we plan to return for another visit very soon!
