Hidden Gemstone for One Dreamy Escape!

Congratulations and thanks will go to the decision makers taking the time to note the difference before selecting this hidden gemstone for accomodations while on Oahu. Once your travel companions catch their breath after initial first peek, don't be surprised at the Ooohhing and Aaahhing with delight you'll hear upon arrival at this Spacious Home on Laie Pointe. With Bali/Indonesia Style Furnishings throughout, the inspirational 180 degree ocean view from all levels begins to be the backdrop for a thoughtfully planned dream house allowing for a variety of living choices all under one roof. This gives you and your guests choices of spacious areas for cooking, dining, planning or chillin'.


In other words, having the comfort of more than the average or 'adequate' space desired for all! The space to breath in the enchantment nature offers while enjoying your dreamy escape! It is truly postcard perfect and we invite you to be our guest!
First to describe the Studio with Private or Adjoining entry: Over 500 sq.ft. in this Bedroom/Living Area/Kitchen & Dining Suite sporting a fold down King Size 'Murphy' bed and 1 and 1/2 baths! Kitchen area totally spacious for today's living style, granite counter tops, generous dining space and living area with sleek, accommodating and comfortable furnishings.

Looks like you've already made yourself at home and started the bbq grill! What a retreat! Relax Already!
The Main House has two Stories on the Upper Levels, all with complete ocean view in all 'Living' Areas. 'Picture in a magazine' would best describe the comments from travelers at first site upon entering this majestic 'great room' and feeling its enchantment. The kitchen centers around an 'Inner Island' Stove top/Oven w/bar stool seating for ease in hearing each others latest stories.

The larger centrally located bar or counter top in the center of living space is complete with sink and one wine/beer chiller. Upstairs are 4 bedrooms, all having individual ceiling fans and window unit A/Cs of their own.

Fantastic!

Great property! It was just what our family needed. The sound and views of the ocean fed our souls. We love the north shore and especially Laie! This was a great location with plenty of room for our family. The home was very clean and well equipped!

Awesome place for large family or group

Everything was great with one exception. The neighbor had a large dog that came over a few times barking. This limited our use of the patio near the water. Other than that, it was awesome.

Ideal setting for our one month getaway

We stayed at this wonderful home for more than 30 days, including over Christmas and New Year’s. The place is very spacious, with different areas for sitting, eating, lounging and taking in the ocean. The best part is the lookout to the ocean - it is just a few meters from the property and waves can be heard all day and night. We also saw many turtles from the balcony daily. We made breakfast and dinner at the house nearly everyday - it had most of what we needed for cooking, although we had to get creative sometimes (limited oven space). Having 4 toilets and 3 showers was a game changer - we had teens who like to shower and take time getting ready. Having 2 washers and dryers also helped a lot with keeping beach towels and linens clean. We greatly appreciated the garage being stocked with everything we needed for the beach - surf boards, boogie boards, chairs, umbrellas, snorkelling gear, and more. The location in Laie was ideal for exploring North Shore. A few things were also walkable from the house - Foodland grocery store, beach, state park. Many from our family woke up early to walk down to Laie point to take in the sunrise and then pop down to the beach for a walk. A few suggestions to make the stay even better - recycling & garbage was hard to manage as the pickups did not happen at all or were late. - parking is tight with a large truck renting 1 of the parking spots -outdoor porch was closed off due to damage needing repair Overall a treaaure!

Beautiful Biews

We had a lovely time during our month in Hawaii. The views are beyond beautiful and the decks on each level are fantastic! We had some family that could stay for 2 weeks and others that stayed the whole month. There were 11 of us together for about 2 of the 4 weeks we rented the house and we never felt cramped. The views are amazing! The only cons (NOT dealbreakers at all) were there are no dressers or places to store clothes so you’re living out of your suitcase the entire time. There aren’t any hangers in the closet to hang things up either. And the extra sleeping arrangements are mattresses that are stored in the bedroom closets to pull out on the floor, but clean blankets and sheets are provided. Kids don’t care much about that so it wasn’t a big deal for us. There are 4 actual Queen or king size beds and a twin trundle bed, plus a couple extra mattresses. Also, the AC in the kitchen is the only one on the main floor so it gets hot during the day. The bedroom AC’s and the downstairs apartment AC work well and there are lots of fans. Being able to do laundry was wonderful!! We would hands down stay here again!! The property manager was pretty quick at getting answers to questions and helping when we needed it. The neighborhood is very safe and you can easily walk to the grocery store, PCC, BYUH, etc. Technically you could walk to the beach, but it would be difficult to take beach gear without a car. We wholeheartedly recommend this home. It truly does feel like home.

Perfect Hawaiian Escape

My family and I had the pleasure of staying at this house for the month of June 2022. We absolutely loved the house including the view, location, bed arrangements, window A/C, & spacious decks. I can’t say enough about the spectacular view. The few issues we had were taken care of immediately. When we arrived the master bedroom A/C unit was broken and it was replaced early the next day. I would like to note that the house is not newly built, so if you’re looking for a resort feel with brand new interior, this is not the house for you. For the price per night, it’s a steal!! The beach is close by - there are 2 beaches that are walking distance. Turtle Bay is about a 15 min drive and Sharks Cove is about 25 min drive. Laie is a very small town with kind locals and everything you need for a paradise vacation. You won’t regret!

Amazing Staycation and Perfect for Family Visiting

My husband and I rented the house for 4 nights and the place surpassed our expectations. The communication with the property manager was clear and she always responded within the same day. Everything about the house was clean and nice. We had enough space for our out of town guests visiting for our wedding. There were lots of amenities for cooking etc. etc. we never had to wait around for the bathroom cus there were 4! And let me tell you about the view. It was breathtaking!! If you’re looking for a quiet place for a staycation or for family vacation this is the perfect place!!

Very nice house and great location. The only suggestion to have for this house to get 10/10 is to add another A/C in the living room as it could very warm in the afternoon.

Fun times with family

It was a memorable experience. The unit was perfect for our extended family. A lot of room to spread out and really nice ocean views. Except for the main home being hot in the afternoon (needs an additional air conditioner(s) to cool the larger family area) our stay was nice and cozy.

Excellent property for big families.

We stayed at this home with 3 families a total of 6 adults and 4 kids. There was plenty of room, we cooked our meals, plenty of kitchen utensils, and everything we needed. Beautiful view, lots of beaches close by, walking distance to markets and restaurants. A very quiet and safe neighborhood which was very important to us. We would rent it again, our family loved it.

Perfect stay for our family at Thanksgiving!

This was a return visit for us, and we arrived to find the place clean, beautifully furnished and with that stunning view! The kitchen is incredibly well stocked with dishes, pans, cutlery etc which was a huge blessing to us as we went to host Thanksgiving dinner for our kids who are living in Laie. There are multiple sitting and eating areas which are perfect for a family or small group to spread out. Couldn't have asked for a more comfortable place to share the holiday :) The owner and manager were readily available when we had a question or two, and we really loved staying here. Thank you Miriam and Elena!

Overall, we had a great time!

Very nice home, but it didn't seem seem as clean as it should have been. Floors were dirty throughout, even on the lanais. One bedroom (last bedroom on the left up the stairs) had a very musty smell throughout our stay. The house was very well equipped with kitchen and bathroom supplies. We did have trouble with the trash pickup, it was half full when we checked in and for some reason, it was not picked up from the curb when we left it out. Overall, we had a great time.

Beautiful View

We spent a few days in this house during our last trip to Oahu. This house had unbeatable views. There were three different balconies looking over the ocean. It was located right in the heart of Laie, within walking distance to food, snacks, gas, grocery stores, beaches, etc. It's a few minutes drive to Polynesian Cultural Center (to the south), and food trucks, snorkeling, and beautiful beaches (to the north). Including the studio, it could comfortably sleep 12-14 people. The kitchen was well stocked. With Foodland just around the corner, you could cook three meals a day and save a ton of money. There were plenty of towels, blankets, sheets, etc. If you get bored of the view, there were also books and games to keep you entertained. We take away one star because of the slow wifi and the overall condition of the house. We could barely use the wifi. In the end we had to set up our own hot spots. The house was old and in need of some renovations. The bathtub sliding door in the hall bathroom almost fell off, for example. The bathtub itself was rusty and needed to be replaced. Overall, we would recommend it for the view and convenient location.

A few little details

First of all, the pictures don't do this house justice. It has three lanais all with amazing views of Laie Bay and Hukilau Beach. It is also roomier and newer than it looks in the pictures. We loved the layout of the house, 4 bedrooms upstairs all with A/C (which we didn't have to use at all but becomes a big deal during the summer) and a huge suite downstairs. The main level has a common area that is large and has great views. Kitchen was new and well stocked. The location is also perfect. The manager Laura was also amazing to work with. There are just a few little things about the house that have been neglected that keep it from being a 5 star rental. The floors were dirty on our arrival and certain parts of the house haven't been dusted in awhile. The 2 barbecue grills were so rusted and dirty that they were eyesores and should be thrown away. The beach gear was weathered. Certain parts of the house could use a fresh coat of paint or some updated furniture. Again, nothing major and we loved our stay in this house and would stay again - it just needs a little attention to some small details.

Great for families

2017 was our 5th time staying at this house and we rented both the main house and the downstairs studio. The amount of space is so good. Large common area allows for several different activities to occur at the same time. The kitchen is open so the chefs don't feel isolated from any of the action. The beds leave a little to be desired, but being so tired from day and evening activities, it almost doesn't matter. It's a bit of a walk to the beaches (5-10 min), but so worth it once you get to it. We go to the beach south of the house. There's a nice wide stretch of sand, some reef area great for snorkeling and also an expanse for rock free swimming, tide pools to explore when the tide is low. Phsically, the house is not pristine or perfect (a toilet wobbles, screens are broken, there are unpainted patches, floor in the studio is uneven), but for families with young rambunctious children, this house works just fine! And the price is right, not outrageous like other properties that require 7 night minimum stays. We're staying again in 2018!

Everything that was promised and more!

A large group of friends and I decided to make a trip out to the North Shore of Oahu and this house was perfect for it. It was extremely spacious and even with 15 people, the house never felt too crowded. With that many people, we were very thankful that there were 3 bathrooms and 1 half bathroom along with two whole kitchens. When we arrived, the house was spotless and there was even more furniture than what was shown in the pictures. It was 3 stories and had a large driveway with a large covered parking area. What I think was not stressed enough was how amazing the outdoor patios of this house are. There were three outdoor patios attached to the house facing out towards the ocean and an additional patio area in the backyard area. The additional patio area was a perfect area for hanging out and just relaxing in the backyard while enjoying the beautiful ocean waves. The owners had all the proper amenities such as two washers and dryers, blankets, towels, beach necessities, and all the necessary kitchenware. It even had a large flat screen TV in the main lounge area. The owners were very easy to get into touch with and were very responsive when we had questions. This was a perfect place to get away from the crowds yet still located close enough to do anything on the island. It is very close to the famous Polynesian Cultural Center and there are supermarkets and eateries very nearby. For those who like to run, this house is perfect as one could easily run onto the beach from this house and there is a nice running trail around the area. I would recommend this house to anyone with a large party. This house was amazing and it was a large reason I had an amazing time in Hawaii. Anytime anyone goes to Oahu, I will highly recommend this place.

Perfect holiday home in the North Shore.

Our family of 8 adults and 2 kids had a fantastic 10 day stay at the Hidden Gemstone. The house is very bright and spacious. It has the most stunning view of the ocean. The kitchen, living room, dining room and common areas are really well designed to provide a lot of space and it was perfect for our family. The location is great. A one minute drive from the Laie shopping center and a 3 minute drive to the beach. Some of the most famous attractions on the island (Sharks Cove, Waimea Beach, Waimea falls, Haleiwa beach) are a 20-30 minute drive away. Laura, the lady who oversees the property was very helpful and we received clear communication & direction from her. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is visiting the North Shore of Oahu.
