Weird vibe. I wouldn't stay here again.
Great spot! Loved our stay here
Such a nice place to stay and close everything you would need! Definitely would come back!
It was the perfect space for us. Plenty of room for 7, clean and well-equipped. Veronica was very responsive and provided a lot of helpful suggestions.
The apartment was cute and in a great location, easily walkable to ocean and bakery. Outdoor shower was a huge plus to keep sand out of the apartment, and the variety of surf/boogie boards was great! We were three adults (mom and 2 adult daughters), and both the bed and couch were comfortable! Best to use the cross breeze to cool the apartment, though, as the AC unit had a great deal of visible mold which we did not notice until the next morning when we all woke up ill. We didn't use the AC for the rest of the stay, which was a little uncomfortable due to the heat/humidity. The extra "leftover" shampoos/conditioners, SPF creams, and other sundries like aloe cooling gel were a plus after returning with a sunburn! A great, comfortable, and convenient accommodation!
Came for a family event. This was a reasonably priced unit that was exactly as described.
Nicely designed place. Not on, but near the beach.
Location and amenities were good enough the first time that we decided to go back. We would not rule out another return in the future.
This good-sized studio was clean and well maintained. It is short walk to the beach and Ted’s bakery making it convenient if the traffic keeps you local. I had one small issue and let Mike know. He had it fixed right away. I would stay there again!
We loved being walking distance to the beach. It was quiet and all the sites we wanted to see were close.
Perfect place to surf and work on line, great location and cool neighborhood, 2 minutes by foot from sunset and backyards, 10 from Freddie and Velzy.
My friend and I stayed at this cute studio two blocks from Sunset beach. Plenty of room for two people with full kitchen and bathroom. We were within walking distance of Sunset Beach and Ted’s Bakery. Convenient to everything on the North Shore. Definitely would stay there again.
Place was awesome for a north shore get away! Very close to the beach and food, and a quick drive to local attractions. Very clean and comfortable, felt like home!
So many things wrong I will be writing the CEO of VRBO, It was from the outside of the property to the unit's self and also things that are questionable . With the host being living above the unit was not a good host , not friendly at all , would not even say hello , Lack of recommunication I t should not be listed because it is not in the Resort District
Spent a few days hanging out in the North Shore and Mike’s place had everything I needed. Full kitchen to make breakfasts, a beach nearby that I could walk to. Central jumping off point to explore all the gorgeous North Shore beaches by car. The AC worked great for the evenings and the ceilings fans during the day kept the place cool (although I was out for most of the days). The unit is on the ground floor and all the way to the back, and there’s a motion sensor light in the path towards the back which was helpful when coming back nights and in the dark. It was a little tricky to work the key to get in and out of the unit but other than that, it was all pretty easy going.
The location is perfect. Everything on the north shore is within 30 minutes, Honolulu in about an hour. We had a fantastic time and would definitely rent again.
Pros
-A block and 1/2 to beach
-Size, perfect for a couple, or a 3rd or a couple kids could sleep on the couch and/or mats, with a curtain separator.
-Ted's Bakery!! We walked there every morning. Get the French Donuts. They also have hot breakfast.
-Again, location. Right off the main highway. Several beaches, shops, food trucks, etc. within a short drive. Sharks Cove, a great place to snorkel, is 3 miles away. Historic Haleiwa Town is 8 miles away with great shopping and food trucks.
Cons
-Kitchen is listed as "fully stocked". Several essentials are missing, including pans for the oven.
-AC/Fans are wonky. The display on the AC control was barely visible, making it hard to know what it was set on. I think one of our ceiling fans had the same remote as the unit next door. We were battling over who controlled the fan.
-No instructions for washer/dryer. I found some outside, on the other side of our unit, but wasn't sure if I was supposed to use them, or if they were for the permanent residence upstairs, or the other rental.
After seeing some of the reviews, I was worried what we would find. Once we arrived that all went away. If you are expecting to stay in a climate controlled surrounding, you probably shouldn't be on the island.... or find a hotel resort that will cater to you. This is the real part of island living, and you should not expect lavish style. The apartment was great, bed was comfy, and the amenities were just fine. The host was very friendly as well.
The studio was enough room for the three of us. The bed was comfortable. The studio was clean. The backyard patio was nice to sit at and had a cover and plenty of foliage for privacy. The gate latches could be replaced because one side didn’t close and the other side would blow open and would have to be secured with a string. The toilet fills very slowly so if there will be a few people going then just know you may have to fill the tank if you need to go back to back.
absolutely wonderful location and lodging. Great neighborhood close to everything. We will definitely be back.
I would definitely stay here again, just without the rain. I wanted a place with access to a nice beach, a sunset view(from the beach), and a private outdoor seating area. This place meet all these requirements. However, it poured rain for our full stay. We took advantage of a break in the rain to walk on the beach. We were cozy hanging out inside.
Great location for North Shore visit.
Great little studio for our family of three! Perfect location. Clean and everything worked. I would stay here again!
As long as you read the other reviews and know what you are renting, everything is as described and in working order! This unit is downstairs from other units, so the occasional sound of footsteps is heard. The Microwave is a multifunction version, and doubles as an oven - so don't expect to use both at the same time. The kitchen is stocked well enough to get by. The only thing i would ask the owner to do is to get better pillows!
Amazing location. Walking distance to Sunset Beach which was holiday a surf contest. Very quiet neighborhood. Perfect spot. Will be coming back.
