The location right on the ocean was amazing. Great sunsets, tidepools with aquatic life you would see in an aquarium, and the constant sound of the waves. The house was a great base for exploring Oahu. Would definitely stay there again.
Perfect North Shore location! Enjoyed grilling fish tacos at sunset and beach walks.

Our family had a great stay at the vacation rental, property was relaxing. House was clean and had beautiful views, family enjoyed the porch and view of the ocean. Overall a great stay would definitely recommend!
It was our first trip to Hawaii and the house could not have been more perfect for our stay!! Amazing view each day, easy to access and just the right amount of seclusion we were looking for! Highly recommend staying at!
Words can’t express how much we enjoyed our stay here. The house, yard, and location are perfect. The views from the deck, yard, and upstairs balcony are absolutely breathtaking. Definitely an unforgettable, incomparable vacation for all of the adults and two children. Thank you!!
We enjoyed our stay, the home is very peaceful. We enjoyed hanging out at the beach. There’s swimmabe beaches, food trucks and grocery stores close by. Waterfalls, Koloa Ranch, Dole Plantations, botanical gardens all things you can do within diving distance. A stay in the country is what we needed to reguvenste.
My wife, 3 daughters and my mother stayed and had a wonderful time. The location is stunning and the accommodations are as advertised. Would highly recomend a stay here to anyone looking for a beautiful place on the north shore. Aloha
Fantastic view of the ocean. Loved listening to the waves when falling off asleep each night. Enjoyed the large deck and backyard for relaxing and bbqing.
The house was perfect for our family! The pictures to this home does not do it justice! It was so comfortable and the ocean front views are amazing! Waking up in paradise every morning was awesome! Overlooking the beautiful ocean! We will definatley be rebooking this place again!

We just completed a two-week vacation at this location and loved it. The house was exactly as advertised. It was clean. The directions were clear and easy to get into the unit when we arrived. The views were fabulous.
Lovely stay. Homey and comfortable. Would have been even better with air conditioning in the living room kitchen area. Very hot but fans were helpful. Hostess was very accommodating and helpful. Beds were comfortable and linens and towels were good quality.
What an amazing property on the north shore. We had a wonderful stay, saw amazing sunsets, and would stay here again. Only things that I would take into consideration would be the proximity to the road. Traffic could be loud at times. Also the upstairs bathroom never had enough hot water to fill the tub.

Our family of 5 stayed in this home during spring break. The views were absolutely breathtaking. The home itself could use some updates. Water pressure in the shower downstairs was lacking but overall a pleasant stay.
Our stay was wonderful, clean, and roomy. All the information about recycling, trash, and expectations was posted around the house. There is only one issue: It was so dark when we arrived that we could not find the correct address. If a motion light could be installed, that would be helpful for future renters. Also, I printed the address, and we were advised that we were in 493 when it should have been 501. I love how close we were to everything except Waikiki and I'm ok with that, North Shore is better for beaches. Anyone will appreciate this rental.
We booked this amazing rental to celebrate a friend’s 50th birthday. It was a perfect setup for the six adults and the tag along eight year-old. We couldn’t believe how we lucked out with such a beautiful view right next to the beach allowing us Midwesterners to get the full Hawai’i experience. The sound of the waves, the ocean breeze and stunning sunset views each night made our trip such an amazing experience.The owners were very responsive to the few inquiries we had. The location provided us great access to the local sights and sounds on all sides of the island combined with a quiet place to get our day going and settle in each evening. Book this one before someone else does!
We liked the place and the location, but this place didn’t provide is with soap to wash our hands or for the shower. That’s so small a thing, but it was so disappointing to have to go out to buy that. There was lots of hand sanitizer around though. The other thing is the place had a charcoal grill, but it’s not worth spending over $20 for the charcoal and lighter fluid. We did like that the kitchen had everything we needed to do some simple meals. It was very nice having 3 bathrooms and 4 twin bed too. The patio had a nice large table for our evening dinners and watching the sunset. But at first we were hesitant in eating our dinner outside because there were several cats roaming around on the patio, but with a water bottle and some water we were able to enjoy our meal without the cats around. All in all, we enjoyed our stay here.
We stayed in late October of 2023. I know this property from living on Oahu. I was super excited to get to stay here for a staycation away from my condo in Waikiki with my family who was visiting from the mainland.
-Celma gave us prompt communication when I text and called.
-The house is an older beach house with older beach house character. Which is exactly what I expected and enjoyed. House is beautiful and in a beautiful beach location on the reef with swimming areas to the left and right of the beach. For swimming we preferred to drive to the near by public beaches.
- Quiet location away from tourist beaches. We could hear the ocean waves while in the house. Some roosters and chickens ran the property around island style.
In October we could see the sunset on the ocean when we walked to the end of the yard and also from the beach. We enjoyed waking up early to see the moonset.
- October is the hottest most humid month on Oahu. AC and fans were very useful during this time but not always needed since ocean breeze flows.
- house is stocked with many fans, washer/dryer, dishwasher and all the cooking/grilling necessities. Towels, sheets, beach towels and plenty of seating.
No hidden charges or issues. We were promptly credited our deposit after stay and will definitely rent again.
