About this property

North Shore Tropical Studio with breathtaking mountain views!

This beautiful studio apartment with stunning mountain views is a perfect place to unwind for your North Shore get-away. The studio features a queen bed with additional twin bed, and it sleeps up to 3 people. There is air conditioning which you are welcome to use to keep cool while you are enjoying the unit. The studio is equipped with a full bathroom, kitchenette (no stove, but there is a hot plate), spacious patio deck, access to washer/dryer, and is situated on a gated estate with lots of tropical fruit! Close to Haleiwa town, Waialua & Mokuleia beaches, hikes, and all the North Shore has to offer.

You can pick delicious fresh fruit straight from the organic farm orchards on the property - mangos, papayas, guavas, avocados, lychee, dragonfruit, oranges, grapefruit, apples, dragoneye, bananas, macadamia nuts - depending what's in season when you visit. There is a beautiful beach with a few amazing surf breaks right down the street! It's about 2.5 blocks to the ocean, about a 10 minute walk! Rinse off in one of our hot outdoor showers under the sunset sky when you come home from the beach as the moon and stars come out for the night.

Property is located in a country neighborhood with typical pet and country animal noises (roosters, dogs, etc.) There are dogs on property in a gated area. The tenants who live on property will allow them to run freely through the yard for exercise two or three times per day then bring them up to their house each evening. There is a gate with a padlock that you will need to put a code into and then manually push a gate open and close behind you every time you enter and exit the property.

This is a quiet country setting, so expect to hear typical country sounds like dogs, roosters, people & road noise. You can hear big waves crashing in winter during high surf season. You will occasionally hear EMS vehicle sirens if they are driving by in response to emergencies and the once-monthly testing of sirens at 11:45am on the 1st business day of the month. The neighborhood dogs howl at the sirens. A few times per year, people in the neighborhood light off fireworks at night.

Long-term tenants and other rentals on property. Please do not bring animals to this property. There is a dog on property who loves people but does not like other dogs. For everyone's safety, please do not bring animals to this property! Our cleaner also uses essential oils for cleaning the inside of the unit which are safe for human beings of all ages, but these essential oils are known to be toxic and fatal to dogs. This is not a safe environment for ANY animals to stay at.

EV charging requires it be the only thing charging in that circuit.

We thank you in advance for not putting lives at risk by starting explosions or electrical fires due to attempting UNSAFE EV charging here. There is a SAFE EV charging station 3 miles away in Hale'iwa town near Stonefish restaurant.

The location and place itself was true to the listing. It is a fine setup, basically being maintained over some years, so it was nothing fancy but had all the basic amenities. My husband and I slept quite well in the cozy bed. The property felt private and safe. Access to laundry really helped our luggage plans. Within walking distance is what felt like a secluded beach! We were able to use the kitchen for breakfasts and meals. We loved taking the short drive to Haleiwa and Waialua.We enjoyed this stay very much, thanks!!!

Cozy studio in the country

Lovely upstairs studio that looks like it’s been recently renovated. It has everything you need for your stay. The bed was comfortable and the kitchenette was well set up. The sunrise from the room and balcony was breathtaking. It is a multiple unit property. A couple of other residents have big dogs that were well managed but good to know that it’s communal living. The only challenge was having lock and unlock the entry gate. It is a short drive to Haleiwa and its quaint shopping and dining spots.

The host and hostess were very friendly and helpful and shared their fruit with us. There were a lot of dogs in the neighborhood barking. The atmosphere was casual farm.

Peaceful and quiet.

Very well kept property with parking right next to the front door. I was concerned about the dog and rooster noise mentioned in prior reviews, turns out there was nothing to be worried about. Once the dogs get to know you the barking is extremely minimal. Can’t recommend this property enough.

Wonderful Stay

We loved this VRBO just 10-15 minutes away from Waimea beach. Our last 2 days of our honeymoon were spent exploring the north shore. The host went above and beyond, leaving a personalized card and gift to welcome us into this vacation rental. Wonderful stay, highly recommended!

It was fine.

I wasn’t prepared for a compound or getting out to unlock and lock padlock for gate each time we left. I knew people lived in the house on main level, but wasn’t aware of other buildings.I knew there were dogs, but barked at us coming and going. The stay was fine, but not what I was expecting.

Perfect property, beautiful, quiet and everything you need for a nice vacation.

I am from Hawaii, the North Shore of Oahu, and had recently sold my house. I had family in town and needed a bigger place for them to stay, It was an absolutely perfect beautiful space, all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay, quiet, a close walk to the beach, and a beautiful property. I will definitely be staying there again in the future.

Quiet

We loved the quiet of this location and the north shore. The nearby town of Haleiwa was adorable. We love the beaches and food trucks of this area. The roosters were talkative in the morning but we learned to love them.

As other have said you will hear dogs barking, but the A/C does a great job of drowning that out. There is plenty of fruit trees when in season. Owners are friendly. Nice beach within walking distance.

We enjoyed the mountain view space very much. It’s in a real community of the north shore and your accomodation dollar is supporting genuine local people. We found it handy to the Halieva food trucks and the beaches are awesome. You will need a rental car though. The space is comfortable and good value.

Loved the people/liked the space

We had a really great stay! But there were a couple of things I’d love to see updated. Here was my experience..PROS:* The people were SO nice and welcoming. * The beds were comfy* The mangoes from the trees were INCREDIBLE * The kitchen was equipped with the basics, not much more. The hot plate gets VERRRRY hot and stays hot for a long time, so be careful * Lots for little kids to play on* The view of the mountain is breathtaking CONS:* One of the dogs was scary to have my daughter around. They kept it in a pen, but it snarled at her a lot* The window AC cooled down the sleeping area, but not the kitchen, hall or bathroom* The walls REALLY need a good scrub/wipedown* There was no table to use as a dining table. This was a huge issue for us. * Like others have said in other reviews… it IS a total pain to have to lock and unlock the padlock on the double entry gate every time you come or leave the property. A lockbox would even be easier because the numbers would be bigger - they’re very hard to see how it is now* The curtains were very annoying - they need more panels because they don’t actually cover the windows fully on the sides, or are completely sheer (no privacy). Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The family on the lower level who lives there full time was so gracious and lovely. Our young daughters became fast friends :)
