An Absolute, Perfect Paradise and Affordable

10/10 Excellent
"Cottage was as described. Perfect view! Couldn't be better! host was concerned about the construction, but that was not an issue at all! With our reserved parking space, we never had an issue finding a spot. Only things I would mention would be...There is no air conditioning, just fans and even with the fans, If you're not used to heat and humidity it could be uncomfortable. Also, because the beach access and hose off is right by the cottage, and the cottage has so many wonderful windows, there is not a lot of privacy. You don't want to close the curtains, Because then you close off the airflow, but people can see right in the cottage, if it's dark outside and the lights are on in the cottage. So we went to bed with the sun and woke up with the sun. But the fact that we could walk out and snorkel, with sea turtles was epic!!!!!Several very useful items in the kitchen for cooking, which we did. Loved the use of the rice cooker.Excellent location on Oahu! Away from the main crowds, everywhere you look is beautiful! Quiet, and peaceful!"

Deluxe Beachfront Condo with a breathtaking view

10/10 Excellent
"This condo has a s beautiful view of the ocean and the property has a nice beach and sitting area. The condo itself is well appointed with anything you would like for the beach or to cook if you want to make meals. It’s also a nice location for activities outside or honolulu like the Kualoa ranch and Polynesian culture center. The north shore also isn’t far. Overall great stay. It is an older condo building so it’s not flashy and there are signs of wear and tare but take in and enjoy the views and the slower pace and if location away from the city with some nice local flare is a want. The pool on property needs a little tlc. However, this is a nice, peaceful stay. The host communicates thoroughly and is very responsive."

"The location of this condo is great with the ground floor access to a large grassy area right in front of the beach. The condo had everything we needed and was very comfortable. However, the bedroom has only one window which opens to the street side. It’s located right beside the elevator and lock boxes so it was very noisy with people talking during the night. The bedroom doesn’t cool down sufficiently with the ceiling fan which necessitates leaving the window open. Arrangements for parking during construction were inadequate."

Hale Ha - North Shore O’ahu Peace, nature, an escape inside Sacred Valley

10/10 Excellent
"Despite Hurricane Lala’s attempts to keep us from this magical and lovely Sacred Valley location (power was out for a few days but returned the morning of our arrival— we needed a working fridge for medication storage) we enjoyed two blissful days in this rustic locale. Katlyn worked hard to communicate about the power issues and was gracious about a possible refund if we needed to find somewhere else on the North Shore. Luckily, it all worked out. Headlines: shower is amazing. Tankless water heater means that two weary hikers/swimmers/explorers can experience a lovely hot shower at the end of the day. Bed is queen sized and in the loft, up five stairs. This is a screened in cabin and so there’s no a/c (obv) but a fan kept us totally cool at night after the sun sets behind the mountain ridge that is just behind the cabin. It is surrounded by sugar cane and with other tiny homes on the property (check out the Rasta Bus) and down the same road is an (off limits, but viewable) Buddhist Temple. Very peaceful and quiet. Small details make this place shine: nice plates and a good toaster oven and hot plate to cook meals. Fridge is dorm-sized, but plenty big enough to stow a few days supplies. Compostable toilet is easy to use. We listened to the birds calling in the morning and a ten minute walk down to the beach every morning means you get to watch the sunrise over the water and then watch the sun set over the ridge from bed."
