Great view of the ocean and sunsets. Perfect for a family (maybe not for a toddler). There were some beach chairs and toys. Kitchen worked great for cooking for 4 people. Small but well equipped. We had a very nice stay.

I only stayed in one of the two spaces offered in this posting but it was very clean. And when I needed an iron the manager was happy to make that happen for me. They were very communicative throughout my stay. I miss my morning coffees here.

Perfection!

If you're looking to stay in the North Shore area you need to stay here! The home is absolutely perfect and Carly is the best! She was so welcoming and even left a few snacks and drinks in the kitchen for us to enjoy! The house was spotless and we got plenty bath/beach towels to use during our stay. The beach access was the best. We saw so many sea turtles swim past the shore right in front of the house and lots of other critters in the tied pools! The sandy part of the beach is just a short walk in either direction and perfect for sun bathing/swimming. This is the perfect place stay for anyone looking to explore the hikes, beaches and food trucks on this side of the island. We will definitely be coming back to Carly's during our next trip!

A+ for Location and Hosts

We were a little hesitant to book this initially, as it was a brand new listing with no prior reviews. However, we are SO incredibly glad we took a chance. This place was truly epic! From the moment we arrived, we knew we had stumbled upon something special. Being oceanfront was a dream come true for the price paid. Below the property were these magical tide pools that our kids absolutely loved exploring for hours, discovering all sorts of little sea creatures. It felt like having our own private aquarium! The proximity to other amazing spots was a huge bonus. Turtle Bay Resort was just a couple of minutes away (driving), and we were thrilled to find out we could rent their pickleball courts for a very reasonable price. Public parking is free, surprisingly. We also spent a fantastic afternoon paddleboarding in the calm waters of nearby Kawela Bay and spotted some TURTLES! The layout of the rental itself was ideal for our group. The split master suite setup offered us all private space, while still having indoor and outdoor gathering areas to hang out together for a meal, playing games, or just soaking in the incredible ocean views. We wholeheartedly recommend this gem on the North Shore and can't wait to come back!

even better than expected

Pros: ✔ Walk to the water from the property + sandy beach easy to get to. ✔ Air conditioning. ✔ 180 degree view of the ocean. ✔ Attentive Host. ✔ Clean House that is Well Supplied Cons: ✗ No dishwasher. ✗ Hour drive from Airport. ✗ Can't think of other cons because we loved staying here.
