Beachy Hawaiian Cottage on the Famous North Shore. 2 bed, 1 bath. Sleeps 4

Sarah’s place was clean, cute and cozy. Check in & check out went smoothly. Sarah was very helpful and answered our questions about the area right away. The home was well stocked with essentials and beach gear. Would definitely stay again. The animals and kids were very friendly!

We had a great stay! The cottage is clean and comfortable. It’s exactly what we needed, a good spot in the north shore by all the things we love. Check in/check out was easy, communication with the owner was excellent, and the cottage is exactly as listed. We enjoyed the animals too! We would totally stay again!

My family and I enjoyed this accommodation. It was very clean and cozy. In addition, it has comfortable beds and multiple amenities including beach items. The fact that this property is in a quiet location away from the hustle and bustle of Haleiwa (but close enough if you want to venture there) made our stay very pleasant and convenient. Also, it was a pleasure to play with their dog Huckleberry :) We would not hesitate to book this property again if available. Many thanks to Sarah and Ryan.

Our family loved staying here and wished we could have made it a longer trip. Hosts were amazing communicators and very accommodating and flexible during check in/out and throughout the stay - even gave us childrens Tylenol early one morning when our 2.5yo spiked an unexpected fever! Above and beyond in every way. Our older daughter had a blast playing with the hosts’ kids as well. The Cottage has everything you could need - plenty of towels, beach gear, kitchen items, etc. Add in a super friendly dog and amazingly convenient location for exploring the North Shore and beyond, and it was the perfect place for us. Thank you to the Bruners for being such welcoming and helpful hosts!

This was everyone's favorite location we stayed during our vacation. The home itself fit every need for our family of four - enough space for all four of us, comfy beds, a full kitchen with everything we needed, comfy beds and we really made use of all the "extras" from colored pencils to snorkel gear. Our hosts were absolutely wonderful - they were incredibly welcoming and friendly, generously sharing local information and recommendations. My kids' favorite was getting to play with the friendly pets - especially Huck, who was up just as early as they were :) The location was great as well; we felt safe in the community, and were minutes from all the North Shore fun we had planned for our stay.

Host, Sarah, was the best from our reservation until we checked out. She was very helpful prior to our arrival and welcoming when we arrived. The home was very nice! Clean, cozy and larger than we expected. The beds were comfortable and the entire unit was well stocked with all that was needed for our stay. The AC and fans were nice to use during the warm afternoons. We especially loved seeing Huck! Thank you so much Sarah. We hope to return soon!

The property is the back house behind the hosts’ home. It still offered privacy and the host family is amazing. We felt safe and comfortable and had everything we needed and more. If you want to explore the North Shore this is a perfect job as everything is close and easy to get to. Waimea Bay, Haliewa, Sharks Coves, Dole Plantation, Kaena Point all within a short drive. We went to the local beach for sunset every night and it was less than a 10 minute drive.

Happy to fine such a nice place in Waialua. Sarah was a great host. The house was clean and comfortable. It had all the amenities. We will stay there again.

We had an excellent experience with the cottage. We went during springbreak and were concerned about crowds but this cottage was tucked away away from the hustle and bustle of honolulu. The location was great and the host was veryreply oreply.b rwpply answer

100% effective communication with the host. They know the area and were able to answers local questions about food, beaches etc. Prompt information and Prompt updates and prompt communication 100% Clean and great facility. Great space enough for a family of four. Functioning AC. Beds were great and comfortable. Fans in every room. Space was very clean when we arrived. Cottage had boogie board, cooler and everything that you would need to start your adventure. Kitchen had adequate supplies for cooking. We had dinner there every night and had no issues with what we needed to cook.100% great location. Close to beaches, hikes, food, shave ice, Acai bowels etc. Quite neighborhood. Safe neighborhood. When out walking or running every morning and felt very safe.100% friendly atmosphere. Like coming home to family. Huckleberry the dog greeted you each returned trip with a wagging tail. Host youngest son knocked on our door frequently telling us about a lunar eclipse, his fishing tackle box , his bicycle etc. I would give the Cottage 5/5 stars and the Hosts 5/5 stars. It was a great stay with my family. I would rent again if I had the chance. Very awesome and great stay at the Beachy Hawaiian Cottage.

Comfortable, clean, wonderful owners

Very cute place! Clean and quiet. Felt very safe and secure. The property was well stocked. Communication with host was excellent. Excursion with hosts charter was phenominal. Overall fantastic place to stay!

We will come back for sure! Was a lovely stay!

We slept like babies at night after spending days at north shore beaches. The beds were clean and comfy an with AC if we needed it but we rarely did as the weather is always perfect. Kitchen and bathrooms has towels, toilet paper and paper towels plenty for the week we were there. Their dog Huckleberry and Midnight the cat are great little beings and very polite animals. The location is ideal and away from the crazy north shore traffic. Then it is just a quick 1-2 miles to the local sights. Easy peasy and immediate vacation! Thanks for the great space and peace. Blessings to the owners and their family.

The cottage was a great home base for our 5 days on Oahu. Minutes from many beaches, restaurants and shopping. The host made sure we had everything we needed. Hope to return 💯!

We wanted to feel like the locals so loved staying at the Bruner's cottage. The cottage was clean and light. Best sleep I've had in a while - bed was comfortable. The Bruners made sure we had everything we needed and were very accommodating (including fresh papaya picked by their son) and loved being greeted each day by Huckelberry. If we ever come back to Hawaii and need a place to stay, we are definitely booking this cottage.

It was a great stay on the north shore! There was easy access to the north shore, surf competitions, and Haleiwa. We would definitely come back here.

This property was at the PERFECT location. The Bruners were the most amazing hosts and made us really feel at home! My daughter wanted to invite them to our daily adventures and would wake up every morning asking if she could go play with them and their dog . We will definitely be staying here again

Thank you so much for your guys hospitality. You were all super friendly as well as Huckleberry and Midnight. We had a wonderful stay and it was better than we were expecting. The house was really clean and the bedrooms were nice. Our son, LJ, still talks about Sunny boy too. He misses him and misses Hawaii as well. We definitely plan on staying with you guys again in the future. Thanks again and God bless you and your family!

Sarah’s place is clean, spacious and very close to Haleiwa area. We had a great time staying and will definitely come back.

My child is allergic to cats and dogs. We did book this space (3 months upfront), because on the website it says that this place are not allowing any pets. About 1 month after booking I followed up with the host asking for the details/instructions/etc. She told me that she would send all 48 hours prior to arrival, as she did. Instructions said: "we have a friendly dog on the property". I sent a reply right away, explaining that my son is allergic and we cannot have any dogs or cats around. She told me that they will keep dog inside their house to make sure that it's not gonna contact our child. We arrived at 6:00pm, and by 6:30pm the dog was already running around the property, and just to be clear - this "friendly dog" is Pitbull. I have 2 kids - 2 years old and 8 years old (allergic one). I came to the vacation to relax, and do not think about their "friendly dog". Earlie morning, this dog was already next to our glass door, waiting for us without host around. We were basically locked in our tinny house until they decided to remove Pitbull. It was the worse experience ever. I did write the host explaining that it's not gonna work for us, my son already feeling very bad and we want to move out, and her reply was: "You cannot have your money back, because under the policy you have to cancel 14 days prior to arrival", but we knew about dog only 48 hours prior to arrival per her instruction email. We did move out regardless. Worse experience ever.

It was a nice location to explore the North Shore. The cottage was nice and the whole family was very friendly. The North Shore relaxed atmosphere is very different from what we're used to, but it was a nice change of pace.

just as advertised: clean, nice, well furnished. two bedroom, one bath. both bedrooms had well working a/c units. also included floor fans too. kitchen was amply supplied with a large refrigerator. Host and family are really nice too.

Sarah and her family made us feel like family. From booking all the way through checkout, Sarah made sure that we had what we needed and if we didn’t, exactly where to get it. All of their recommendations for dining and activities were spot on! And I can’t forget Huck greeting us when we came home! The home itself was spacious enough for our family with two teens. We never felt like we were on top of each other. The location being so close to town made getting around easy and convenient. The only thing I wish is that we could’ve stayed longer! Whenever we do get back to Hawaii, we will not hesitate to book with Sarah again! Mahalo for everything , Sarah and family!

Warm hospitable care and great cottage! Know the area well!

We absolutely loved our stay! Our Host was absolutely above and beyond! She was incredibly flexible with us! I 100% would stay again! Thanks Sarah!

Wonderful host. Went above and beyond in every way. Safe and quiet cottage. Clean and comfortable with many amenities. Would definitely come again.

Our stay was so wonderful at this darling cottage. The hosts were informative and very hospitable. Our family was super comfortable. The cottage is in a great location. We loved our stay and hope to be back again!!

Loved our time with the Bruner’s! Everything was perfect when we arrived! Communication was excellent! They have everything you would need from beach equipment to kitchen equipment! Thank goodness they provided coffee for our first morning! We would love to go back!

Everything we needed for our family of four to enjoy to north shore and come back to a clean, comfy place to stay. The house felt fresh and new and the beds were comfy! Stocked with beach chairs, boogie boards, snorkel/fins. Hosts were so helpful. The only downside is it’s not walking distance to town or beach but it’s a very short drive to incredible beaches and adorable town so not a problem. We really were happy with finding this place and being able to stay.

This property was perfect. It had everything we needed to set up a homebase for our trip. The cooler was a lifesaver! Its location was ideal, close to everything we needed, but far enough away from the crowds.The hosts were amazing, and went out of their way to make sure we were happy. (Thanks again for that frozen pizza!😁) They offered great suggestions for restaurants, beaches and activities. AND there was Huck, the dog. We miss him already! Thank you for everything- the amazing accomodations, and kindness. You made our trip better than we could have hoped! Hope to be back soon!♥️

We loved the property! Great location directly in the middle between laie and Honolulu. Quiet and out of the way. Sarah was a gem and was super friendly and helpful! Would definitely stay again!

Ryan & Sarah were just Amazing! So warm & lots of Aloha and like family. We were beyond blessed for all of their accommodations . We were surprised with her and freshly baked yummy sourdough bread We definitely picked a Perfect place for us and we will definately be back. 😘

My 16 yr old son and I stayed here and had a the best time! Cottage is spotless, comfortable, close to beaches, food and shopping. The hosts were extremely accommodating and easy to get a hold of. Check in/out was easy peasy, and our host hooked us up with their Shark Dive Charter - Hawaii Ocean Adventure Tours (better than One Ocean Diving) where we got to free swim/dive with sharks for an unforgettable experience. Wish we could have stayed longer, and definitely plan to visit again!

Sarah and Ryan were wonderful hosts, very communicative and available throughout our visit. The location and home were perfect! We truly felt we were coming “home” every evening after a long day of activities. As a bonus and being a dog lover, the highlight was having their pup Huckleberry greet us each morning. You won’t be disappointed!

The cottage was perfect!! It was very clean and comfortable and we felt safe and secure there. The property was everything we could have asked for. The beds are extremely comfortable, the AC was awesome and the kitchen was well stocked. There were so many extras like beach chairs, beach towels and boogie boards etc. We were also able to do laundry which was very helpful. Sarah is wonderful, she is so kind and easy to work with. I am afraid of dogs and she took her time to introduce us to their dog Huckleberry. He is very nice and to the shock of my family, I actually liked him! She also gave us suggestions on places to go and things to do. She suggested swimming with sharks which I had never thought I would ever do, but we did it and it was the highlight of our vacation. Sarah and Ryan actually own a tour and adventure company, if you are going to book any tours check with them first!! I wish I would have known before we had already booked and paid for all of ours. We felt very fortunate that this was the property we chose for our vacation. We will absolutely stay there again! Ryan and Sarah thank you for everything.

Great rental in Waialua, short drive to Haleiwa. Clean. Even better feeling than what the photos show. Friendly and responsive hosts. Would definitely stay again! This is a unit on the back part of the hosts' property. And while I wasn't quite sure how it would work with being a back unit etc, it might have been the best part of the whole rental experience because they were the most amazing hosts and we had a nice time talking with them and hanging with Huckleberry (the friendly dog - but he does not go into the rental unit at all)! And if you want privacy, once you go into the back house, you can't even tell you're on a shared lot. There is AC in both bedrooms and if you keep the bedroom door open it cools off the living room easily. The futon is fairly large and drops down flat and there is a full sheet set if you need a third "bed". They hold one street parking spot for the unit, but anything beyond that might be a challenge in this neighborhood. Love this North Shore gem!

Nice two bedroom bungalow located ohana-style behind the hosts’ family home. Very private, although Sarah was always available for suggestions or questions. Well located.

We had a wonderful visit while Sarah and Ryan were great hosts with amazing recommendations, but honestly….Huckleberry was the star of the show…chillest pooch on the island for sure! This was the perfect spot for us to enjoy the North Shore and travel into the city. If we make it back we would definitely hope this cozy space is available! Mahalo Sarah and Ryan~LOVED getting to know you and your sweet family🌺🌈💜

The property was perfect for our week long stay, and the hosts were incredibly kind, helpful, and accommodating! This little cottage is perfect for a group of 4 or a family traveling together, and the location was also great. Lots of great beaches, food joints, and hikes around and our stay could not have been any more perfect. The cottage was also a lot more spacious than anticipated. Next time we are in Hawaii we will definitely want to come back and stay here, we can’t recommend this place enough!

Our stay on the North Shore was a dream! I will admit that initially after realizing that our rental shared a yard with the owners, I was a little hesitant but I trusted the reviews that other guests had left. All worries were put aside as soon as I met our hostess Sarah. She was very welcoming and informative. The house had everything and more for my daughter and I. It was also in the perfect location for all things in the North Shore! I would definitely stay here again if I get a chance to visit Oahu again!

We had a wonderful stay at Sarah and Ryan's lovely little cottage. We had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing getaway. Check-in was a breeze, and our hosts were available to answer any questions we had. Having a dedicated parking spot, a well-appointed kitchen, comfortable beds, and a patio where our 1-year-old could play made it feel like home away from home. The location was perfect: close to world-class beaches and all the amazing restaurants, shopping, and outdoor recreation the North Shore has the offer. Our son had a blast playing with Sarah and Ryan's two boys, their sweet dog Huckleberry, and their cat Midnight. We will definitely be back. Thanks again to our host family for their kindness and hospitality! ❤️

We really enjoyed our stay on the North Shore at Sarah and Ryan's place. The location was very easy to find and they always had a parking space ready for us (parking can be very challenging on Oahu). They were very flexible on check-in time and quick communicators with us. The house was clean and comfortable, and had everything we needed. Both beds were soft and supportive with good pillows. There was a hot water kettle, french press, and keurig for all your coffee desires. The kitchen had all the dishes we wanted, and a dishwasher too (I don't like doing dishes by hand on vacation). Wifi was strong in the living room. The shower had good hot water supply and pressure. The AC worked well in the bedrooms. We only needed AC overnight while sleeping. Note this is a "B" unit house behind the owner's house, so you might see or hear your lovely host family at times, including their very sweet & well behaved dog Huckleberry every day. Overall the place feels very secure. FYI: Bird songs might wake you up at sunrise. Wifi was a little spotty in the bedrooms, but great in the living room. We would definitely recommend this spot!!

The property manager is there to answer any questions and makes you feel comfortable. The property is a short driving distance to the water views, shops, restaurants, and more. Overall great experience staying here and plan to re-book for the next trip.

The hosts were super nice and accommodating. The property is perfect for a group of 4. I would definitely recommend and would use them again. They respond fast to any questions and take great care of the property. I would definitely stay here again!

Perfect property to enjoy the North Shore ! The homey feel , smartly stocked with items needed for a home away from home . Adorable family with welcoming pets made it a Great stay !

The weather was amazing. Hawaii New Year was amazing with a tons of fireworks in the street. The property owners were great hosts and helped us get where we needed to go. They took us out on their boat for a great experience snorkeling with the sharks.

Ryan & Sarah are incredible hosts! So kind and generous, great communicators and wonderful people. They made us feel so welcome and all instructions were clear and easy to follow. The cottage is darling, very clean and had everything we needed. Close to amazing beaches and we had an incredible stay! Thank you for sharing your piece of heaven with us.

Sarah was fantastic to accommodate our requests. The space was clean and welcoming. The AC is noisy but in this part of the island window units are norm. We needed to seek medical help for an emergency which interrupted our stay however would visit again. The north shore beaches were unforgettable.
