Awesome experience on the beach

We are a local Hawaii family that wanted and escape from our busy work lives. We spent a few days at this house on the beach to unwind and celebrate a special birthday. The back porch is an excellent spot to eat meals and enjoy the beautiful scenery. The ocean is simply steps away from the house. What an awesome experience! I wish we could live here daily...

Relaxation Paradise

Our stay was amazing. The location is perfect for relaxing on the lanai or sightseeing at the nearby attractions. Very comfortable, clean and has the best view of the beach! Watched the surfers and even caught glimpses of very active whale! The very friendly, helpful caretaker was a bonus! Will stay here again!

My mom and I had an amazing experience here for our girls trip. The house exceeded our expectations and was exactly as advertised. The beach was steps away and we had a great view of the waves and surfers. At night it was calm and peaceful. There is a cute little bakery that is a 6 min walk where you can get food as well and the grocery store is on the way from the airport. The communication from the host Bobbi and Chuck the caretaker was excellent. They even went above and beyond to locate an item I forgot and will mail it to me and I am very thankful for their help. The beds were very comfortable, as were the indoor and outdoor furniture. This was one of the best-stocked vacation rentals I have been to and it really felt like staying at a friend’s house because it was so cozy and welcoming.

Right on the beach! Great surf watching!

We came just in time for the huge north shore waves and got to watch a surf competition from the backyard! The house has a vintage feel for that old school Hawaiian experience. The sheets were soft and pillows were great. We are vacation rental hosts as well and would stay again!

Great location on the north shore!

It’s older, like most properties on the north shore. Two bedroom, one bath and small but honestly perfectly fine since we spent all our time outdoors in the back yard watching the surfers. Ted’s Bakery is walking distance and has breakfast, lunch and dinner. The food is exceptional as demonstrated by the line of patrons.

Bungalow On The North Shore

It is a fantastic location(right on the water near Sunset Beach, North Shore) and was the perfect size (2 bdrm) for my adult daughter and I. Easy access to the beach out the back door. The Lanai was ample and designed for comfort while watching the surf. Chuck, the next door grounds keeper, was very friendly and helpful at check in. We couldn't have asked for a better place to spend our vacation. We will be back!

Private tropical getaway

Oh my oh my, this was incredible! If you’re thinking of booking, just do it. You have basically a private beach to yourself, and you can watch whales and the stars through the spyglass on the back porch. The house itself has gorgeous painting all through out. Chuck, the caretaker, is amazing! He was able to give us great recommendations while also just being awesome. We will be back and if you’re thinking of staying here’s I highly recommend. The kitchen had everything you need, there was laundry, it was clean, and you’re between turtle bay and the town area of Haleiwa so you have options for dinner if you don’t want to cook. 10/10, we will be back

We had some issues navigating through the check in process. When we showed up at 4pm, the previous guests had left a mess, and the caretaker (Chuck) was still working to clean the property. It was around 7pm when we got checked into the house, but Chuck was great. The location is absolutely beautiful and Chuck even took my 16 year old son out surfing. We’d stay here again.

Paradise

The property was absolutely beautiful! The house was everything we could have asked for, from the beautiful porch over looking the ocean to the super comfy giant couch on the patio where we spent many hours. Besides the house Chuck the caretaker of the property was amazing! We can not say enough. We had mentioned wanting to do a bonfire on the beach, he got everything set up for us, he aired up bike tires in case we wanted to ride bikes, he showed my husband and son how to look for sand crabs at night. He even remembered our kids names! Super awesome knowledge of the island, we even managed to see a big surf competition with 50 foot waves! Incredible time and we can’t wait to come back!!!

peaceful and perfect!

the view was amazing! home inside and out had no expense spared. it was comfortable, felt like home and was the perfect setting for our Hawaiian experience. the beach had some pretty major waves well over 50 ft making it every surfers paradise. your are feet from the ocean. it rained one entire evening and the covered patio was a nice place to relax and watch the waves roar in. I took a nap on the comfortable patio while my daughter and husband played cards. you cant go wrong staying here. It may be the first time in my life I truly enjoyed a rainy evening on vacation. The kitchen was well equipped for making steaks, seafood. and opening a nice bottle of wine. Bedding was comfortable and was freshly laundered on arrival. The caretaker, Chuck was helpful and shared stories of his past cliff jumping days. A sweet lil duck welcomes you on arrival and waits patiently outside for bread or his favorite treat a donut hole from Teds! Great experience, lovely home!

20 feet from back porch to beach. The house met our expectations, but the driveway is tight. Caretaker Chuck was invaluable with answering our questions and providing insights to the island. Sunsets were spectacular and just being on the Pacific Ocean was a treat for this family familiar with Atlantic Ocean-Florida sunrises. We liked the relatively close proximity to Honolulu/Pearl Harbor and the Base. Navigating the island is not difficult. Groceries are close by as well as local food venues. Go Hawai’i, Go big!

Heaven on Earth

Simply put this property is amazing. All the other reviews are accurate and if anything, underrepresents how fantastic this property is. So much so, I actually recorded a video and will share the link with the owner. The pictures do not do this property justice nor do the reviews. The patio furniture has been upgraded and is more luxurious than the pictures show. There are ample soft towels enough that you can take to the beach and also use for showering. I don’t recall there being a description in the posting about a heated outdoor shower, but there is one on the side of the house along with ocean toys, chairs, and other beach amenities that are available for you to use. The caretaker is incredibly warm and inviting. We felt safe and well cared for at all times. The location is absolutely perfect. You’re a short walk away from Ted’s bakery. It was amazing to walk to Ted’s every morning and eat breakfast on your lanai and watch the ocean. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you could possibly need or want. We have family on Oahu and this location is perfect perfectly away from the busyness of the North Shore, but close enough to where we could get to a lot of really fun activities like sharks Cove. This house is literally right on Sunset Beach. We did not want to leave and I know we will be back. I will put together the video of our experience and hopefully can share that as truly the pictures do not do this property justice.

Amazing!

What a perfect place for our family! We loved relaxing in the backyard. The views are breathtaking and the landscape is beautiful. Having the beach in our backyard made it so easy to take the kids multiple times a day. Great location to get to everything in the North Shore! If you’re thinking of booking this place, do it!
