First of all why do you step into the shower stall when going in the front door?? Very weird. The house sits on the most beautiful beach we have ever seen! We loved watching the surfers.The house is roomy with comfortable beds very well equipped kitchen,which is hard to find, and a good bathroom with a lot of towels and shelves that I appreciated. The washer and dryer we nice as well. It was cozy but it needs some upkeep such as a new patio screen door. The big problem we had with the house was NO air conditioning! It was so hot and miserable in there we could barely stay in there. Sleeping was rough even with 3 fans blowing on us.
Was so good didn’t know what we had. Beach front. Log cabin cottage. Middle room held heat for a couple days but property manager got extra fans to accommodate. Shrubs blocked a little of the beach view but had the amazing ocean view. As soon as we asked property manager had hedges trimmed and got an even better view of beach and ocean. The location on beach is not a water spot for children but all kinds of swimming in the general area for all ages many beaches to explore walk or drive to.
The location was amazing. Right on the beaxh and in the heaetnof North Shore. Excellent surfing and snorkling experience. Our family enjoyed the nature emergence and shared family time.
The location is great, private beach. The home definitely needs a lot of work. Beware there is no Air conditioning which makes it almost unbearable to sleep. Not ideal for families with small children. You will need to travel to another local beach, The waves here are definitely for surfing only or experienced swimmers. Would not recommend this home.
Awesome location Great host
Excellent stay at a truly wonderful property! Would definitely stay here again. Great location. Easily walkable to many different spots (beaches, restaurants, food trucks, markets, etc). I don’t think I would ever stay anywhere else if I had the chance.
I stumbled upon this booking last minute after craving an Oahu stay. I’m from Chicago originally, but I’ve lived in Hawaii since 2012. Almost 3 yrs on Oahu and now a Big Island resident. Quaint, cozy, everything a family could possibly ask for. We had 2 adults and 3 boys ages 8,9,11. You can walk to Haleiwa Town if semi physically fit. Do not sleep on this one…
This little house is right on the beautiful beaches of the North Shore. A great way to start and end our days! Also a great base location for everything! The house is dated and could use some upgrades and tlc, but really you’re there for the location. We had an issue with the house when we arrived that was out of everyone’s control, but Bitsy was great with communication and got it fixed as soon as possible while also refunding a portion of our stay for the inconvenience. All in all, I would stay here again!
We absolutely loved to stay at the Log Cabin. It’s the perfect place to be. Waves right in front of the house and the beach almost to ourselves. 7 magic miles beach. The kitchen is very well equipped and the set-up of the house suited our family ideally - including a roofed porch and a grassed patch. Bitsy was always available if we needed her - she’s awesome! If you are looking for a true local house on the North Shore - that’s it!
We felt like we found the cabin of our dreams with this North Shore spot. We heard the waves crashing as we fell asleep, and the rooster crowing to wake us up and we loved every minute of it. We enjoyed being able to walk down to the beach, cook our own meals and enjoy a laid back time with family. It was perfect- even right down to the entrance (the front door is through the shower!) we loved the outdoor shower and the big deck to sit on, the 100% wood home and outdoor bbq. We would all love to return, and when we left we felt a bit like we were leaving home.
Cute and cozy beach front cabin to comfortably accommodate a family of 6. Close proximity to market and restaurants with beach equipment on site for lounging and kitchen adequate to prepare meals. Host was prompt and attentive. Property was comfortably cool in evenings of late May. Would recommend to family and friends.
Amazing location on the North Shore, place was the perfect spot in the heart of the north shore
If you want something quiet besides the joy of listening to the ocean, you have found your place. You mostly have the entire beach to yourself. Just a short drive away from the downtown area of the North Shore.
My husband 2 sons and girlfriend stayed here and thoroughly enjoyed the location-it is indeed prime ! The charm of the surfers cabin and its quirks all made it more enjoyable.
Central to both east and west, plenty of food options if you plan on eating out (we went to beach house and Halewia Joes) on our two night out otherwise we fully utilized the kitchen full amenities and grill - spending sunsets on the beach outside our door. A five star of its own .....only minor suggestions are the indoor furniture, not comfortable or enough and only a few forks to use but again minor ......thank you for the amazing experience! Our family really enjoyed it!
Bitsy was so polite and communicative. Booking and checking in was a breeze. Her property is incredible. The waves crashing against the shore is like medicine for the soul and my wife and I were able to hear them throughout our stay, drowning out any would be street noise. We saw whales several times off the back porch and rainbows were plentiful almost daily. The magic flows in North Shore and you can feel it in this clean and well maintained cottage with private beachfront access. The back porch is perfectly protected for privacy from the beachgoers. We would love the chance to stay here again if available in the future, thank you so much Bitsy!
Wonderful place to stay if you are looking to be right in the beach. Can’t wait to book my next trip. 🌺
This is a fantastic property. If you want to have a quiet beachfront home on the north shore at a very reasonable price, this is your place. The property manager was very nice and communicated well. The proximity to the beach with the sound of the crashing waves filling the house made us sleep like we’ve never slept before. Although parking is great and in a private fenced yard, you don’t need a car as Foodland is an easy walk from the house and is a great store. The kitchen was well equipped and we made a full Thanksgiving dinner using mainly the utensils provided. We will definitely be back. Loved this place more than words can express.
