Pretty Good
I'd say the listing is accurate. A decent place for a couple to stay, but not necessarily hang out in. A little messy and neglected on the outside, but clean and serviceable on the inside. Not on the beach, but literally steps from it. A beautiful beach, at that. No views from the windows, but nothing unsightly out there either. Cinder block walls, if that matters to you. Found a single dead roach upon our arrival, but absolutely nothing after that. Nice bed. Very uncomfortable futon/couch in the sitting room. Wifi info in the intro email was wrong, but the caretaker cleared that up pretty quickly via text. Couldn't locate the washer/dryer either (outside, behind the unit), but a text cleared that up, too. NOTE: you'll need four quarters for each dryer load. Washer is not coin-op. There were folks upstairs, and we could hear some footsteps and loud voices. Nothing too bad. Beautiful area, of course. Within a short drive of everywhere in the north of Oahu. The price was reasonable; an affordable option among a lot of more pricey Vrbo offerings.

OK
This rental was just ok. It was very close to the beach but had absolutely no views. The rental was cheaply furnished. We didn't spend a lot of time there, really just slept there. A/C worked fine in the bedroom but the living area was warm. The shower was good with plenty of pressure and hot water. It had a washer and dryer which allowed us to wash clothes. It worked for us as a fairly inexpensive place to sleep and bathe just a very short walk (maybe 150 feet) from the beach.

Thank you for your feedback. We're glad the rental's proximity to the beach and the shower and laundry facilities were satisfactory. We apologize for any disappointment regarding the lack of views and furnishings. We'll address the temperature in the living area to enhance comfort. Your priority was a convenient and affordable beach stay, and we're pleased we could fulfill that. We hope you'll consider staying with us again in the future!

Simply furnished. Very comfortable bed. Washer and dryer access. Fridge makes ice. Quiet street. Outrageous sunsets! Food options to the north. Haleiwa to the south. Plenty of beach choices and activities. Groceries close by (Foodland). Bedroom could use a dresser or shelving.

Close to beach but parking was terrible
The place was within walking distance to the beach but you had to park in a awkward, cramped fenced in space in front of the unit (the ad and pictures made it seems nature like and as if the front door led to the beach, which it doesn’t). The decor was minimal at best, and we didn’t receive any communication during our 9 day stay (or any information regarding checkout, additional towels or anything). It was fine if you just want somewhere to sleep within walking distance to the beach, but not a place to relax or hang out.

not very welcoming property. Pictures did not represent the rooms well. Concrete block walls and hard tile floors through out. Air matress was listed but not available. There was no second set of linens for the futon

Hawaii stay
The property over all was ok, the location was nice with other towns pretty close by. There wasn’t any shampoo, conditioner, or soap so come prepared with these items. I could have sworn the listing said there was a hair dryer when we booked but there is not. There is no place to hang wet towels or suits other than one towel bar in the bathroom. A collapsible drying rack would have been great. The shower curtain had mold on it, I mean shower curtains aren’t that expensive, but a new one if the old one is moldy. There is a washer and dryer, outside of the house and the dryer costs money to use. Make sure to time your washing when it’s not raining. The parking was kind of nice as you had your own spot inside the wood fence, but you have to open and close the gate each time you come and go. The kitchen was nicely updated, but not much for dishes or utensils. It would be good to have more dishes microwave safe to use in the microwave. My husband and I had to eat one at a time cause there was only one bowl that was microwave safe. You can’t actually see the beach from the house, your view is another rental. You can walk along a path next to that rental to get to the beach or down the road to the beach. We opted to use the road. It was fine for sleeping, the bed was comfortable, but not sure it was worth the price.

Great location
The location was great right on pine trees beach. 20 steps from water. House was very basic, but fine. Large area with minimal amenities.
