Secluded Sands ~ Private Beach Access, A/C

Yes, the host was very accommodating. Amenities were great.

Great location away from the hustle and bustle of Honolulu but close enough to some great local food areas and beaches. We had a fantastic time!

We had a great stay. It was nice to have a home base with the family. Plenty of room for everyone.

the house was very nice everything was very clean and neat when we arrived would definitely stay there again if we had the opportunity

This Pahipahialua Beach area was the perfect spot for our stay. The house offered a peaceful retreat, tucked far enough from the main road that it was blissfully quiet, yet still close to local conveniences like the resort, food trucks, and grocery store. It was our first visit to the North Shore, and we were thrilled with how easy it was to access excellent swimming and snorkeling spots. A highlight was having curious dolphins join us in the water. What an unforgettable experience! Our group fit comfortably in the home, with plenty of room to spread out or gather together. The house was clean, welcoming, and well-equipped for cooking meals at home. Big thanks to our hosts for providing a smooth experience start to finish.

We had a great stay in Secluded Sands with our immediate and extended family. The hosts/manager responded promptly to questions. The A/C worked well and the kitchen was well stocked.

The house was perfect for our large family group with plenty of space to spread out, and the setup made it super easy to stay comfortable. The beach is just a short walk and felt practically private every time we went. The house had everything we needed and more. AC in every room (huge plus), fully stocked kitchen, comfy beds, and tons of beach gear that we actually used. The baby gear was also a lifesaver since we were traveling with a toddler. Location-wise, it doesn’t get much better. Easy drive to Turtle Bay, PCC, Haleiwa, and some great food spots. But honestly, we loved just hanging out at the property or walking to the beach most days. Check-in was smooth with the smart lock, and having on-site parking made coming and going stress-free. The host caretaker was easy to communicate with. All around, this really felt like an island home away from home. We'd come back in a heartbeat.

The house is very well cared for. We had a group of 8 that came to Oahu for UH graduation. The space was perfect for our group. All amenities and aspects of the house are in good working order. The location has great access to a secluded portion of the North Shore beach within a short walking distance. Highly recommended.

We spent just over a week at Secluded Sands. There were two families, totaling 10 people and the home was perfect. Quiet neighborhood with walkable access to a secluded beach. Location provided easy access for day trips even to Honolulu.We communicated several times with the local property manager. The only issue not resolved during our stay was access to TV streaming services, but we didn’t miss those all that much.Would highly recommend for larger groups o that need some space to spread out!

We had a great time staying here! Thanks so much for hosting us. A few of us are big into running and really loved the trails around Turtle Bay as well as the paved path along Gunstock Ranch. The horses are friendly and came right up to say "aloha." The old WW2 pillbox was such a cool surprise too.

Beach access. Well appointment kitchen. Comfortable beds and multiple pack n play options. Great North Shore location.

We absolutely loved our stay at Secluded Sands. The home was spotless, organized, and ready for us the moment we arrived. It was perfect with two separate living areas that made it easy for everyone to relax and spread out after a day in the sun. The private beach access was a major highlight. After following the simple directions in the guest guide, it was just a quick and easy walk to a quiet, uncrowded stretch of sand that felt like our own slice of paradise. Beach gear was fully stocked and ready to go. Location-wise, it doesn’t get much better. The house is right by Turtle Bay and Kawela Bay, which gave us easy access to calm snorkeling spots, scenic trails, and more gorgeous coastline. Turtle Bay parking was free, surprisingly, for our day of snorkeling in Kuilima Cove. And the nearby food trucks were a hit. Tons of variety and super convenient with plentiful options when we didn’t feel like cooking. I would definitely recommend this home and if we ever go back to Hawaii we would stay here again.

Pros: -Quiet location-Safe location-Amazing views-Spacious for a big Ohana-Sunsets/sunrises are breathtaking -Close to grocery stores/fruit stands/beaches-clean and comfortable Cons:-Entry gate would work sometimes-Booked this property because we thought the beach was right outside the house but it was down the street so if you’re thinking it’s a beachfront, it’s not. -trash was full before we got there from previous renters (a fee if you do not take it out on Tuesdays/Fridays)-if you’re looking to have a get together (esp being from Hawaii born and raised, we come with a big Ohana) it will not be approved due to a clause they said they have which means the amount of people you can have in and out the house is 14 (basically the max of people that is accounted for while renting there) we wanted to have a dinner for my mom and it was not accommodated so we had to have a plan B. I found this very disappointing as it was not a “party”. For the price that we paid, to be told we basically can’t have visitors but it states “as long as we let the host know and they don’t stay past 12am it was ok was really upsetting.

This house was wonderful for our large family. We had 9 adults and 2 babies. There was a pack and play,a stroller and a wagon, which helped enormously. The house was very clean, very comfortable beds,and the AC was cold. The large dining table was a great bonus. The walk to the beach was a little further than we thought,but not terrible. Neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. I highly recommend this house.The ad stated 2 washers and dryers but one was out of service, but it really didn't impact us at all. Host was very communicative and check in was a breeze. Also, really appreciated the fully fenced and gated yard.

Absolutely incredible experience staying at Secluded Sands. Would recommend to anyone. There are enough rooms and beds to easily accommodate 2-3 families. The kitchen had all the little things that you need (utensils, seasonings, pots/pans, cups, bowls, plates, etc.). There were lots of toys, chairs and umbrellas for the beach. The wagon came in extra handy. The stand up paddle boards were great to have at nearby Kawela Bay where we saw lots of turtles. Will stay here every time we come to visit Oahu. Thank you so much!

Nice home

The downstairs had it's own luving area, which worked well for our group

Nice location, nice beach, good weather. Large house, a few glitches, but nothing devastating.

Took extended family for the marathon. Great place for large family. Easy to get to beach on foot. Lots of other options on the North Shore.

Bria was very responsive with any questions we had. She also let us know that someone would be coming to fix the gate, very professional. House fit my entire family of 11 (including myself). Great location, close to many beaches and very quiet area. Other than that worth the money spent and will book again if we come back in the future.

Beautiful, updated house and property in a quiet, safe neighborhood. The beach is a very short walk away and we never saw anyone else there when we went. It was so beautiful and peaceful! The host’s instructions were so helpful and very detailed about every part of the property. Having AC in each room was a lifesaver on hot, muggy days. The property is located in such a convenient location to quickly get to our local favorites in Laie and Kahuku. Haleiwa is not a far drive either. We came as an adults only girls trip but this property would also be a great place for families. I’d definitely bring my kids back.

Our extended family had a wonderful experience at this property. The fully equipped kitchen and proximity to grocery stores made self catering easy, which with 6 children ranging in age from 4 months to 18 years in our group was a fantastic option. The 5 bedrooms and multiple living areas means that there is plenty of bedding configuration options and breakout spaces. This property allows excellent access to North Shore beaches and Tourist destinations and was a great opportunity to see a different side to Hawaii. Communication was excellent from the hosts and they were very responsive to questions or issues as they arose.

We had a wonderful time staying in this home on the North Shore and will definitely come again! Home was large enough for our big family and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Sunrise views from the home are unbeatable.

Was wonderful and secluded. Host responded to need and help make a peaceful time.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. It’s a great location if you want to be close to the school and to the food trucks in Kahuku. We also enjoyed time driving to various beaches. The beach near this place was fine, but almost more enjoyable to drive to other beaches, then walk to this one about the same time.

Huge beautiful house with a huge enclosed yard, plenty of room for a big family. Friendly area very close to the beach. A lot of of options for things to do very close by. Very comfortable, felt like home.

Place was as described and expected. Pre check-in instructions and information was clear and helpful for the stay. Layout and setup was perfect for our large party and the place was overall very child-friendly. Highly recommend

Bria’s place was a great find for our stay in Hawaii. It comfortably fit our family of 10 with lots of private space for everyone. The kitchen was had tons of appliances and cookware which made it easy to make homemade meals. We loved all the beach gear that was available to use.

Place was amazing and big enough for all 14 of us. Our favorite beaches were very close so travel to and from was very easy and fast which was great because we had two babies with us that needed to go back for naps during the day. Host was great and very responsive and proactive at communicating making our experience even better. The house had everything we needed for cooking and for the beach which was awesome because we didn't have to pack anything bulky like Beach towels in our luggage from home. Locals around the house and in Kahuku were super nice and friendly. Would definitely stay here again if I was traveling with a medium or big sized group.

This place was amazing. Its in the north shore so it's far from the busy beaches that are around Oahu. The house is located minutes away from a secluded beach. She provides paddle boards, beach towels, floaties, and wagons to haul it to and from. If you're a foodie then you have the world famous Giovanni's shrimp truck, The Bald Guys, and Kalbi on fire are really close by. The house has a private driveway gate so your cars are secure at night. This place is as advertised. She really goes out of her way to make sure you have a great time. Would definitely recommend this place.

Nice clean well stocked house w/more than enough space for our party of 10. Bria was helpful and responsive. Access to the beach and food spots on the north shore was great!

The property had many accessories and made for a comfortable stay for the family. Barring some appliances that were not working, it was enjoyable. On site support staff came to try to remedy the situation. If your family will stay at the house, it will be a wonderful vacation spot. Subscription services are included on the tv. My family wanted to fish so it was a little aways from the beach; needed to walk carrying our fishing gear. Wish beach was closer. Couldn't cross the golf course which is in front of the house. All in all a fun weekend getaway.

This home was as nice as it was in the photos. We had a group of 12 and fit comfortably. The home was clean and well organized. The neighborhood was quiet & within walking distance of the beach, small convenience store & several really good food trucks. Highly recommended!

Great house!! Right off the golf course. Just a short walk to the beach. Quiet neighborhood. Perfect. House was spotless and very comfortable. And the beach toys were a lot of fun.

This house was perfect for our group of 14, 8 adults and 6 children ages 12 and under. Close to food trucks, grocery stores, the Polynesian center, and shops. Easy access to other parts of the island. We did a day of beach hopping, visited 3 or 4 beaches in one day. The private beach close to the house, had a seal on the beach, our grandchildren thought that was awesome. be careful of the jellyfish, we had 3 littles get stung the first day. Our grandkids were able to run around outside with the fully fenced yard with no worries. We only had to communicate with the host once, and they responded quickly. Make sure you wake up early to watch the beautiful sunrise. Perfect view sitting on the deck. Rooms on the smaller size Rooms

We booked this house because it was supposed to be on the beach. It was not it was on a golf course with a substantial walk to the beach. The house had 3 air conditioning units which required buckets to drain. They were not connected so we came home to over flowing buckets of water. All garbage pails were completely full when we arrived. We could not open car gate when we arrived so I called the house manager and never received a call back. For the price charged I would not recommend.

We had a large family group of 10 people. This house was perfect for that many people. There was outdoor and common area seating enough for all of us to gather, share meals and decompress after the day's activities. We loved the large refrigerator and stocked kitchen, many condiments and seasonings were available. We used all of the dishware and cutlery in our meal planning. I think the best part about this house was the small labels on things that helped us know how to use the house most effectively. The tip about closing the windows for rain water, and where to put things away in the kitchen just made our stay so easy. Thank you for the helpful labels and for the many instructions around the home. Our stay was carefree and easy because we chose this house. We all enjoyed the accommodations! Highly recommend!

Near to all North Shore activities

Everything was amazing close to the beach and private. Home was exactly as expected, private yet comfortable for a large family.

This place is the best you can get for a large group in Oahu! The host is so nice and helpful as well

Wonderful house away from the traffic, but still a short drive to everything on the North Shore. There were 14 of us, so we used every part of the house. Plenty of room for us. Nice walk to food trucks and short drive to Foodland. Definitely would stay again. Best Wishes to the owners and there little one!

We brought our 3 adult children with their spouses and children for a total party of 13. The accommodations were perfect and the location couldn't have been better. There was plenty of room and the house was perfect for our family gathering. We went on walks at night in this secluded neighborhood at to the nearby beach. The listing is 100% accurate and we will be coming back again!

This house was so nice and perfectly nestled in a small community on North Shore! It was clean, well stocked with appliances, cooking utensils, spices, towels, etc. We had 8 adults and 5 young kids - it was perfect. Getting to the beach was easy and having the beach mostly to ourselves was amazing. We were in walking distance to a zip line adventure and the Seven Brothers around the corner served up delicious banana bread (we brought two loaves home) and one of the best burgers I've ever had. I love burgers! Our host was responsive and kind. I would definitely stay here again.

We were locked of our unit upon arrival and our multiple attempts to contact our “caretaker” were ignored. We were left on our own for two hours with Zabrina trying to help us from California. The care we did not receive negated the beauty of our surroundings. We still have not received any correspondence from you other an automatic email stating we would be fined if we didn’t take the garbage out today ( two days after our rental ended and we checked out). We would appreciate acknowledgement of our poor treatment. We left the unit spotless but we were put in an unsafe situation with literally no other options for accommodations other than sleeping in our car. The hotels and rental units on the north shore were all booked. We would be happy to let you know how we finally gained entrance if you want to discuss this with us. Any contact with you at Hostably/VRBO would be appreciated. We have rented through VRBO for many years and have never been treated like this and have never left a negative review.

What a fabulous home, location, and overall experience. Our entire family came for our youngest child’s graduation from U of H. From grand kids, to their parents, and us (grand parents), we all loved this home. The private beach is only a 3 minute walk and it’s one of the best beaches we’ve seen and we’ve been to many in Oahu. It was great for everyone from 2 to 70+. Local shopping and amenities were a short ride away, and so was Turtle Bay. What a relaxing shift from over developed Honolulu. Our host, Bria is amazing too. So helpful and responsive, she made our stay perfect. We would absolutely go back and highly recommend renting this lovely home.

We were a family of 12 and this place was amazing. There are always a few things that didn’t work like a few of the fans and ac units but we found with the windows open we didn’t really need them. It was exactly as advertised and couldn’t have asked for anything more. Definitely would recommend and stay here again.

Our group of 6 adults and 6 small children had the most amazing week here! We loved how easily we could access other parts of the island from this location. The house was set up perfectly for our group. Being so close to the food trucks was amazing. The communication with the host was excellent. This was our first time to Hawaii for many in our group, and the accommodations were exactly what we needed. We will be back!

The house is located in a quiet neighborhood, fully fenced for added security. The manager was great at answering my questions, very helpful. It was a great experience and we loved all of the water toys, and chairs and wagons to go spend the day at the beach! It housed our family perfectly.
