Fantastic experience. Beautiful home and heavenly views.
Love everything about this property. You can sit on the back deck and watch the sunset every night! Great location to all North shore activities. Great place for my family vacation. Would stay here again.
Very beautiful ocean view and a daily chicken parade!
The view was spectacular! Nothing more relaxing than sitting in the back deck and taking in the waves. It also was 5 minutes away from The Ritz, which has a nice beach for swimming. We also loved the parade of chickens that would come through the backyard in the morning!
We were celebrating our 50th Anniversary. We had a wonerful time This house was so Awesome. Close to the beach. The deck & backyard was soo Amazing!We invited our adult kids to comw with us.invited our
This is the most amazing home we have ever stayed in!

Had a perfect Family vacation. Houses were perfect, weather was perfect, and the family all had great time. Kids were on the beach for hours playing in the tide pools. The view was wonderful
Such an amazing North Shore home away from home! Could not have been more perfect! Very well appointed house on the water. Epic waves and sunsets! Traffic on the North Shore was the only downside of our visit. I'd highly recommend staying here and hope to return in the future. Plenty of room for a large family or couples. Thank you for making our vacation amazing!

Location was amazing!! House was great!! Great neighborhood!!! ONLY downside was no blinds on sliding glass doors to prevent afternoon sun from reflecting off water and into the living room but would book again - no problem. Was my family’s first time here and they LOVED it

We had a fabulous stay. The house was perfect for all our needs. The location was great and the beach was wonderful. Would totally rent again.
The view was amazing, the privacy fantastic. The beach is not one you swim in but those are very nearby. The house itself is comfortable thought the A/C upstairs is lacking. Thankfully my kids didn’t mind too much. Absolutely recommend this property
It has amazing views at sunset. The beach is not very user friendly as far as snorkeling but, there are tons right down the road. It has AC but doesn't really down the space so it was very warm during our stay.
My husband and I were looking for a beach side stay for our wedding location and also a place for our family to also stay with us. Our first reactions when we walked in the door was just “wow”! The house is beautiful! It was very clean and the beds were so comfortable. The backyard is also the perfect location for a small wedding (we did it during sunset) and the pictures turned out amazing! Our weekend honestly couldn’t have been any better!
This is a great place with a perfect location. So close to everything on the North Shore and yet super private and quiet. It was like we had our own private beach. Rocks right in front of unit but very short walk either way to sand. Beautiful. Close by farmers markets for fresh fruit. Can't recommend enough. Would stay here again. All communication was great and so friendly. We loved it. So sad to leave
Easy to find, check in easy, beds comfy. Having a nice backyard lawn was fun and we did bbq. The couch in the house is outdoor furniture not comfy. It also can use some containers for left overs. A/C worked great. The view is priceless. To get to the water/beach you do have to go down about 10 stair steps FYI. Beach right there is not a swimming beach but nice if you have small children. You can walk a short distance to be able to get in. We were here in February so bigger waves. Its a beautiful house

We had the best time renting this house! We got married on the beach in the back yard and it was a dream come true. Waking up to the ocean view was amazing. I did not want to leave. The house was very spacious and had everything you needed except for food of course. It was a bit warm but at night time we would open up an the windows and the breeze would cool it down. There are window ACs in the bedrooms however the upstairs is open to the downstairs but the large fan made it comfortable to sleep at night. I would suggest one of the wall AC units in the living room to cool it better during the day. Overall our experience was the best. The washer had a mildew smell but that was expected being on a humid island. Foodland was 10 minutes away. Kind of pricey but convenient or you can drive to Walmart which is about 45 minutes away. We loved the north shore side because it felt like home. We will be renting this house again in the near future. We can't wait to return!
The website on this property is accurate. The ocean view and sounds of the surf in the winter are what makes this property quite desirable, although please know that the waters are not conducive to swimming in the winter (true for most of the North Shore of Oahu). However, given the premium price charged we were very disappointed with the poor maintenance and supplies. Some of the screens were torn and the screen door to the lanai does not work properly. The dials on the stove are worn off. None of the electrical outlets work in the upstairs bathroom. There is no garbage disposal. The toilet paper provided is single ply, which is not what one would expect in any expensive rental property. The towels were of high quality. The double mattress in the downstairs bedroom needs to be flipped and turned or replaced. Please note that there is no ocean access from the yard. The owners should better maintain this property or reduce the price. We stayed for a week in February 2024 and are permanent residents of Oahu.

We stayed for a week for a family vacation. Great location on North Shore by all the wonderful beaches. It was quite far from Honolulu. We filled all the beds, and the beds were comfortable. Bathroom situation was a bit crammed, no bathroom privacy. The kitchen was well stocked. Parking was good. Upstairs was hot and humid, we asked the management company for another AC unit and they installed it for us, which made it more comfortable. There were no shade blinds on the big windows downstairs which made is very hot at peak day and evening. The house was located right on the ocean with a small sandy beach, good sized yard for star gazing, and a nice patio for lounging. The garbage situation was not good; the containers were not labeled well, and the prior guest garbage filled all the bins already when we arrived. The management asked us to move trash that was wrongly in the yard bin to another trash bin, and there were maggots. It was disgusting and really was not our responsibility to deal with the poor trash situation. There were a lot of flies we had to combat constantly in the house and on the porch. There were some beach toys and swim gear on the side of the house which was nice to use. There was an outdoor shower that got good use. There was a dead lizard in the upstairs stuck in the wooden rafters which was creepy. The inside couch was actually outdoor patio furniture and that could be improved for comfort. Overall it was enjoyable and mostly comfortable, but also had some drawbacks.

We had a wonderful time. The house was comfortable and worked great for our family of three. There was room for 4 others. The house was close to all the North Shore attractions such as beaches and food trucks. It was so peaceful and we loved sitting on the deck with the three kitties who live there. The property manager Sarah was very responsive to our questions. We would love to return.
