First of all, thank you to Kevin and Krista, They were caring and did go out of the way to accommodate with any questions we had.Also, we stayed in several part of the island to explore their place where hands-down better and bigger place compared to the rest of our experience.The apartment felt spacious, clean, and exactly what we needed it. The outside patio was great. The house itself was in a really nice quiet location very close by to the attractions that we were therefore, Banzai Pipeline, Sunset Beach park , Waimea Valley, also a couple of other beginner surf beaches like, Chuns Reef Beach,Puaʻena Point Beach Park, And other cool locations,We loved Haleiwatown, The first morning when we woke up at the apartment, we were greeted by two peacocks, which was really cool.Certainly, we would recommend this apartment and we certainly will be repeat client in the future.

Loved the central location and the comfortable space! The hosts were excellent in their communications. Very close to grocery and easy access on to the highway. You can’t walk to the beach, but it is a quick drive up and down the hill.

Our host was welcoming and flexible. The home was comfortable and stocked with all of the necessities. It was nice to stay a bit out from the busy tourist locations with still so much to do!

This was a beautiful house tucked away in the quiet hills. Located minutes from world class big-wave surf beaches. Lots of restaurants within reasonable close distance. Highly recommend but get your southern activities done at the same time or you will be driving a lot. Made friends with the cat. He was always coming over for some petting time.

We only used the fridge, but it looked like a lovely kitchen. We were very appreciative of the washer/dryer and the fact they had plenty of laundry detergent and not just a two load supply. We also appreciated the use of beach chairs and beach towels. The host was very friendly and accommodating. I’m sure anything we asked they would help us with. My husband enjoyed the small pool table. The drive up and locating the property was an adventure. But it was nice that is was centrally located.

Lovely property with great access to North Shore activities. It feels more spacious than the pictures show! Outdoor hose station to keep sand outside. Even though it lists outdoor space as “shared”, it feels private. Friendly hosts. Loved our stay!

Super-clean, quiet and plenty of room to stretch out. Lovely hosts and easy access to all North Shore. Enjoyed our morning coffee outside with the resident cat, sounds of birds and the breeze. The fresh bananas given to us were amazing! Would absolutely stay again

Perfect location in the middle of the North Shore. Spacious, clean, private, and in a quiet neighborhood 3 minutes from the beaches, grocery store, etc.

It was in a nice area quiet and very close to Foodland and food trucks. The house does have a couple of dogs, a friendly cat, and a couple of peacocks that like to visit the lanai in the morning (just a surprise at first). The stay was very good. The bathroom/laundry area is large and nicely put together. The clothes washer needs to have some vinegar or bleach run through and the black stains cleaned off the door.

We had a wonderful stay here. The name is accurate! The house has beautiful gardens, is tucked away and serene. The rental is very spacious, comfortable, and close to everything you come to the north shore for. We wish we had been able to stay longer! We highly recommend and would stay here again!

This was exactly was the family needed for our week long trip to the North Shore. There was plenty of room, privacy, and wonderfully located close to town. We loved it! The resident cat, Kitty Boy, was so nice and fun to have around. I highly recommend!

Overall, a very good apartment, Clean and efficient and a good location for the North Shore. The lady host was very nice and friendly and always waved when coming and going. Male "owner" - as he called himself; was less so. I would not stay again because of him.

We are two adult couples. We throughly enjoyed our stay. Close to Foodland for groceries, located on the hill above Shark’s Cove and Pūpūkea Beach. The basement apartment is a walkout basement with Lanei. The 2 bedrooms were large and the kitchen is spacious. Large shower and laundry room. Owners were very friendly. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Their cat Kitty Boy greets you when you come and go. Quiet neighborhood.

This property is in a great location. It has a beautiful, quiet backyard and is just minutes from beaches. We enjoyed the outdoor patio in the mornings, drinking our coffee and in evenings with a glass of wine. The inside has a modern industrial sheik feel and was clean with comfy beds. There were beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers, snorkel & boogie boards available for us to use which was a huge bonus. The hosts were very friendly. We highly recommend this property.

We really enjoyed our stay — huge kitchen with lots of prep space and comfortable living room with plenty of seating. Location is perfect; quick drive to tons of activities. Great beaches within a 5 minute drive, short drive to turtle bay, great grocery store just at the bottom of the hill, bakery and shopping all very close. Hosts were incredibly kind.

This was our home away from home. It provided a much appreciated space for rest and recovery of our daily activities on the island. The hosts were amazing and the listing was everything we expected and more. Truly you could not have been happier! We had the best time with their cat Kitty Boy! He was so sweet and made us feel very loved. Thanks for the memories!

This is a nice, very clean two bedroom ground floor apartment in a quiet area. It is ten minutes from a public beach and grocery store. It does not have an ocean view, but the absence of traffic compensated. The owners live above. They were very quiet and provided bananas from their banana tree. The washer-dryer and A/C were most appreciated. I would stay here again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The location is minutes away from the gorgeous North Shore beaches. The unit is spacious and well stocked with everything you could need. The lanai looks out on the lush garden setting and an added bonus was the very friendly cat, Kitty Boy, who joined us on the lanai daily. Would definitely stay here again.

The property was superb. Very clean. Had everything we needed. Quiet, tranquil location, near all the nice beaches. Grocery store was only 5 min away. Shark’s cove, Three Tables, and Waimea Bay, all right there also. Very easy check in and out. Owner very friendly and honest. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to skip all of the commercialized, touristy stuff, and stay at a location away from noise and crowds, as if you were in paradise (oh yeah, you are in paradise). I would stay here again and again. If you plan a trip to Hawaii, and stay on Oahu, this is the place to stay. It’ll be your gateway to paradise on the North Shore, without the hustle and bustle of a hotel (which there aren’t any on the NS).

We had the perfect stay! The location was near so many activities we did as a family (beaches, Toa Luau, Waimea Valley, shark-watching boat ride, Dole plantation, food trucks). The home was clean, close to the grocery store, and we enjoyed spending time on the patio in the early evenings while our little ones slept. Thank you for having us!

We spent 4 nights in the Garden Hideaway and it was a great spot to stay and use as a home base to explore the North Shore. It was just 2 of us this time, but even with 4 in a family, it was a large amount of space to live in. Very comfortable and clean. Would definitely enjoy returning to this location.

The apt is clean and spacious. The beds are comfortable and the shower is great. The hosts were helpful. It is located under a house and there is parking. The unit has a nice outdoor area. The inside is a little dark and you can hear footsteps above. You do need a car. It’s not an easy walk to the beach but the nearby beaches 5 min drive are beautiful. Foodland and food trucks across from the beach were very convenient.

This property was amazing from beginning to the end. The host answered my questions immediately all the way through the process. They live on the property and take great pride in what they have built and it shows. We really enjoyed visiting with them getting to know them and asking questions on sites to visit. I wanted coffee in the kitchen when I showed up, and that was not a problem, they gladly supplied that! My son's reservations on another property were not reserved properly and they were happy to have him and his wife stay two nights with us. There is a very loving cat that belongs to this family which eased our sadness of leaving our pets while we were on vacation. We will definitely stay here again when we are on the North Shore.
