The Mokulua Cottage’s, located on the sugary white sand beach of Lanikai, opposite Oahu's famed Mokulua Islands, evoke an element of connection to the natural surroundings and a gentle nod to traditional island decor. The 3 unique and separate dwellings are thoughtfully placed on the property to offer privacy yet community within the compound. Guided by award-winning Australian designer Michelle Leslie, craftsmanship and design innovation converge in the reorientation of original 70-year-old beach bungalows into contemporary cottages that maximize openness and light.
Upon entering “Makai” House, you are greeted by large glass sliders that open up to a portrait-like view of the turquoise blue waters and islands in the backdrop. The grassy lounge area allows for enjoyment of indoor/outdoor living that bring in the sights and sounds of the Pacific Ocean. On the mountain side of the property sits the “Mauka” House, a 3BR, 2 BA cozy charmer that is a fully self-contained additional home. Just a short stroll across the lushly landscaped yard takes you to the “Garden” cottage, a well-appointed studio setup perfect for extended family and guests alike.
Consistent throughout the entire property, indigenous designs are integrated amongst natural stone and timber while hints of glamor are introduced to compliment the breathtaking panoramic views. Being offered turn-key, a luxurious curation of high-quality materials, timelessly elegant furniture, styling and lighting are found amongst all 3 reimagined structures (1BD/1.5BA Makai House, 3 BD/2BA Mauka House and 1 BD/1BA Garden Cottage).
