Trip of a lifetime!!! Mahalo!!

We LOVED our cottage! It was absolutely everything we hoped. Big house, beautiful grounds, awesome kitchen and lanai!! Every bedroom was super spacious with AC!! Slept sooo good! We saw spear fishermen, a seal that came to shore literally on the beach behind our yard, night fishermen, tide pools. We are already planning our next trip to rent out ALL four of the cottages with more friends and family. You can’t do better if you want North Shore laid back Hawai’i vibes. Thank you for an amazing trip!!

Amazing Views

This property was absolutely perfect for my family of 8. The house was clean and well stocked. The sleeping arrangements worked out well with two kids, grandparents, parents, and auntie. The best part of the house are the stunning views. The house was close to a swimming and boogie boarding beach. We also loved the distance to the fruit and shave ice stand. The house is close to grocery stores, bakeries, and restaurants. We would rent this house again. Thank you for the amazing vacation!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My daughter decided to get married on the North Shore. A friend recommended we stay here at the beach front houses. The views of the ocean are incredible ! Loved sleeping to the sound of the waves. Walking along the beach, although the area in front of houses is rather rocky. The sunsets were gorgeous. We were able to see whales breaching, from a long distance away but viewable with binoculars. My daughter got married in the property and everyone commented on how wonderful the location was for a beach wedding. Would highly recommend anyone wanting an ocean view to stay here.

The best view you can imagine

We stayed 3 nights and enjoyed the magnificent sundowns from the patio, had breakfasts while seeing turtles and even a monk seal right in front of the house. It is only some steps down to the ocean. Check-in was very easy. Shortly before we received a call, if we have all info we need, which we appreciated. The house is generally wonderful. There were only some minor issues that were slightly affecting us. The dishwasher was running, but did not really clean, so we had to wash the dishes by hand. The air condition in the master bedroom was dripping on the patio when we arrived, but after having mentioned that, it was fixed the next day. We did not really need it, since there is a nice breeze through the house when you open all windows. There are very useful fans in the master bedroom (working) and coming up the staircase (which unfortunately did not work during our stay). It's a pity that there are no fans in the 2 bedrooms on the ground floor. But the house and its location is so wonderful, that we would come back when being again on Oahu next time.

Loved the location of the property. Easy to find, located on the beach. Backyard has a great deck and nice grass area with lounges. Down the steps is the beach, which has a small area you can relax in, but most of it it full of lava. Not swimmable, but you can see small crabs and fish and we saw occasional turtles. In the mornings and evenings we sat on the deck and saw the whales going by, splashing as they passed. BBQ was charcoal, so we had to back to the store, which during the day, is a long drive. One downfall is the drive from the property and Haleiwa. It's very congested and takes around 40minutes to go around 10 miles? or less? The property management company is very responsive and came by to replace a blender that was broken immediately. There were an unmanageable amount of flies, which I have never experience on the islands, I have visited over 20 times. Not sure if it was the time of the year or the fact that the house or lanai did not have ceiling fans, which easily deter them. The queen bed in the upstairs bedroom is very squeaky, so that when you turn over it wakes up everyone upstairs. With all of that, I still give it 4 stars as the location was great and the house very nice.

Great Location - Furniture could be updated.

The house itself is located on the beautiful and quiet North Shore. It's on the beach, which was great for checking out the tide pools; my 10 & 12 year olds loved it, and spent hours there. There are chickens and cats roaming around in the yard, it was great to sit back watch them wander around. The patio is great for watching the sunset, but once it's dark, the mosquitos come out with a vengeance! Would be nice if there were some candles or bug deterring plants so that we could use so we could enjoy the patio after dark. When we couldn't be outside, we found that the furniture in the living room was very uncomfortable. It's an outdoor patio set that is being used as indoor furniture. We wanted to sit and hang out together, but just couldn't get comfortable in the living room so we all ended up going to our rooms. The beds are comfortable and the linens were nice/clean. Plenty of pillows. There were also some nice beach towels that were provided to use while were there. The wash and dryer was a nice plus as well. The kitchen was well equipped with a variety of pots, pans, and spices. There were enough dishes and cups for our group of 6. The dishwasher didn't work very well, so we ended up having to wash out dishes by hand. Lots of a counter space and full size fridge. We had a great stay, and if we return to the North Shore of Oahu we could consider staying here again. Thanks!

No swimming here but tide pools to explore and great beaches within a few minute drive. The yard was great for playing, the trees were beautiful, and the view can't be beat -- especially sunsets. Quick drive to food trucks and grocery store. Would definitely stay here again. We hated to leave.

Great Place to Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The place is beautiful and the best room is the one upstairs with a view of the ocean. It has a beautifully spacious bathroom with a shower and tub that has a view of the ocean. The AC units in all of the rooms cooled them very well. The loft area with the two twins does an ok job cooling so I'd put children there. It has all the kitchen stuff you will need, plates, cups, glasses, a blender and cooking utensils along with all kinds of pots and pans. The place was very clean and had nice linens and towels. It was a fantastic place to stay. Halwevia was a 10 minute drive and the beaches were maybe a 5 minute drive. We got to see whales breaching from the lani and at Waimea beach we watched the surfers. It was a great time all around.

Just a short walk to a beach with calm waters and a farmers market with fresh produce, shave ice and cold brew. Gorgeous views from the backyard. We could sit on the deck and watch the whales jumping in the distance until the beautiful sunsets every evening. The only thing we were missing was binoculars! The host was fantastic and provided all necessary information well in advance if our trip. Would definitely stay here again!
