Location is outstanding. In my opinion this is one of the most beautiful parts of the island and on top of that it’s located very well to access both the north shore and Honolulu. This is an apartment over an art gallery. While it is ocean front there’s not much in the way of a beach at least while we were there. There are 4 bedrooms in all, one is not furnished which was fine for my family as we used it for a staging area for luggage and clothes.
This is exactly as described. One bathroom is a little smaller than pictured. Beach out front was amazing...swimming with sea turtles, sunrises and sunsets were spectacular, the sound of the waves with that ocean breeze. Straight up paradise and Lance and his wife were very helpful with any question or information. Definitely will be back....
We had a wonderful time. The beauty of the ocean is so relaxing and peaceful. We were on the go constantly and it was great to get out on the lanai at the end of the day. The art work in the home is absolutely beautiful!
Beautiful view from the living room and upper deck. Well stocked house. We enjoyed grilling oceanside and eating on the deck. Low tide allowed easy beach access for our morning beach walks.
If you want beautiful views, this is the place. Plenty of parking. Nice big lot. Large rooms. Large bathroom on upper floor. Only downside was the clothes washer was not working for all 3 days. New one was on order.
This place has an amazing view!! Great location, surrounded by beautiful beaches!! Wonderful memories to be made! Sunrises are memorizing!
Wonderful property with amazing views and a history that made it feel like home. I must have missed the note that stated there was another rental space below but in hindsight I’m glad I did because the property was perfect for what we had planned. The hosts were kind, generous, and welcoming!!
Loved everything about this house. Very clean. A little dated, but absolutely perfect. Can't wait to go back.
We loved this place because the sunrise from the deck is something to behold. Would definitely recommend and stay there again.

Lance was great very responsive very helpful. All the questions we had. He was quick to respond. He even came over and introduced himself. We are there for 25th anniversary. We had a fantastic time.
Ocean Frontrow, good for 4 adults or small families.
We enjoyed our stay. The house was very comfortable for our group and had everything we needed. We loved the location. It’s close to stores and activities. The home is a little dated but was very clean. The beds were comfortable. The main drawback is the busy road but we dealt with it. 2 things which I don’t think is clear - 1) it is upstairs. Which was ok for us but could be an issue for others. 2) it is not on a beach. It’s on the water. The ocean comes right up to the downstairs front yard - but you have a short walk to the sandy beach. Thank you for a nice stay.
This home was perfect for the 3 of us. The view was amazing. The home was incredibly clean. And Lance made everything so easy and was very responsive.
This property has stunning views facing east for gorgeous sunrises from a large deck. The ocean sounds are just right for sleeping (the breakwater is a few hundred yards off shore so not too loud). There is some road noise but we got used to it in a day or two.
Lance was great and very communicative. The house was clean, and well appreciated. 3 couples and plenty is space. Beautiful view, right on the water. Would stay again.
We loved staying on this relaxed side of the island. The beach house was nothing too fancy but well equipped and comfortable. Just what we needed.
Very comfortable for my family of 5
The view from the deck makes this place! Great spot to stay away from the crowds of Honolulu, easy access to beautiful beaches and North Shore. We saw turtles every morning right off the property and even saw a few whale spouts near the horizon. Would definitely recommend if you’re not into the city and resort crowds.
We really enjoyed the location and the host was friendly and easy to communicate with although we didn’t need to. We had a great stay
The place was clean, not fancy but it had everything we needed. The view was amazing!
The view from the deck is incredible and makes the place.
There is no mincing words, this was exactly what you want and exactly what you get. a pleasant, simple rural home with a wonderful ocean view. Everything you'll need is in the kitchen. Lance did a great job helping us with any questions and gave us good advice for any spots we wanted to visit.
The place was clean roomy for 6 adults. Everything went perfectly smooth from check in to check out. Thanks to Lance for fast response and helping us out without stepping into our privacy during our stay. I hope others who stay here will get a chance to check out his art works and art studio downstairs which we were lucky to. House is right by the ocean and as well as the road you will hear some noise during day but nothing to complain about. My parents’ best memories are here sitting at the patio looking at the beach getting ocean breeze finding turtle visits usually in the mornings. Definitely will come back.
Can’t beat the view. No need for ac in the main room. But ac did help with the sleeping in all 3 bedrooms. Lance was very nice and helpful. From his work you can see he is a talented artist. Like almost every house on the coast you will hear traffic. I would definitely stay here agsin.
Beds were comfortable, living area was adequate, view was pretty, snorkeling right off the property was nice. Apartment could use an update but served our needs. One beach chair was available, few more would have been nice.
Loved having coffee on the deck for sunrise, loved experiencing my first over-ocean moonrise! We had such a great time - the Ocean breeze was wonderful and the location to North Shore activities was great.
Everything was super clean and the check in was so easy! The view was wonderful with sea turtles swimming by. The beach house is dated, but every room displays incredible art. There is road noise from the busy highway, and the AC is loud too. Still, it is a convenient location for exploring the North Shore.
Stayed here for a few days in early September, and it was a great place to stay to explore the north and northwest sides of the island. Convenient to several beaches, and the northwest beaches (like Sunset beach) are only about 20-25 minutes away. The house had a great deck for watching the sunrise and sitting out at night.
There is a small beach area right off the back, but we were too busy going to other beaches to explore the reef right there, though we did see turtles from the deck. And having the ability to do laundry in the unit was a nice plus at the tail end of our trip.
Lance was a great host and responded quickly to any issues we had. He has an art studio below the unit so was usually not too far away if we needed anything.
The place is right on the main road that goes around the north side of the island, so you do have some road noise, especially in the back rooms. So that is just something to be aware of. Parking can be a bit tight, too. Fine for one car, but more than that might be a tight squeeze.
Overall a great place that allows you to relax at the end of a day of exploring Oahu.
Our house was wonderful! The only issue we had was a few of the electrical outlets did not work. The house was in a great location, and kept very clean
