We enjoyed this beautiful home in the North Shore of Hawaii. The views from the covered porch were dramatic and extraordinary. We could whale watch from the porch!!!!! The ocean and waves and the mountain were incredible to watch. We went on many day trips and excursions and always enjoyed coming back to watch the sunset and night sky
I can't say enough about our stay here. The amazing sunsets - varied every night. The North Shore things to do - always in no rush. The background sound of the crashing waves - so relaxing. The first leg of the World Surfing Championships a 20 minute walk to the Banzai Pipline. And yes, the chickens everywhere and the calls of the roosters. The most relaxing vacation I've ever had.

We stayed on the property for 30 days in July and August, 2024. We had teenagers through senior citizens, one of which had knee replacement surgery earlier this year. The photos of the property did not accurately portray the number of stairs. There were 20 stairs up the front of the house, 10 up the back, and 10 down to the beach. It would have been nice to see all these stairs so that we could have made an informed decision on whether or not to book this house.
Other than the stairs, there was a lot to like, and a lot to dislike.
Positives:
-Great location. It’s right by Shark’s Cove, and if you are able, it’s a short walk. There is a grocery store near by as well, though they are very expensive and it’s worth a trip to Target or Walmart to save a lot of money.
-The views. You really can’t beat the beach views. We saw plenty of dolphins, beautiful sunsets, and lots of people watching!
-The team was very responsive. We ran out of propane and we got a replacement within a couple of days. When the power went out, we called, and were able to talk to someone right away. (The power came back on within the hour.)
-There is an outside shower that we used a lot! It comes in handy when you’re covered in sand.
Negatives:
-There is so much traffic. Not so much an issue with the house, but be aware that depending on the time of day and direction you are heading, a “quick” trip can take over an hour.
-The alley is a narrow one lane road. It is not a one way road which means you wil
This home has everything you need to have a successful stay and is well cared for. The location is impressive, each day we saw dolphins from the deck and the snorkeling was fun as well. Other days there were crashing waves so it was bell balanced for everyone. We stayed for a month with our two teenage sons. Plenty or space for privacy and hanging together. Strongly recommend this home.
The house we rented was awesome with a spectacular view of the ocean and beach! Located conveniently to everything one might need and easy to access other parts of the island. Highly recommend for a super getaway!

Nice location. Comfortable home. Easy grab and go beach gear.
Some things that could use an upgrade include the bikes and kitchen items such as skillets and additional glassware was needed.
This house was wonderful! The property is one that faces the beach/ocean directly. You have private, stair access right to the beach-shared only with the other houses in the street. You can enjoy your morning coffee and evening sunset staring at the water. Incredibly helpful is the fact that under the house there are beach chairs, snorkel gear, boogie boards, and more! All you need to stay at the beach-shared even provides a cooler to take to the beach. The house is very pretty and the location is simply amazing!
We had a wonderful time in Oahu staying in this great home. The location is perfect, the beach is beautiful and not crowded. We loved everything about our trip and this home. Cindy was great from the time of booking until checkout. We had no hiccups or issues with the home during our stay. We would definitely stay here again!
My family stayed here for spring break and enjoyed it so much. It was nice to be far away from crowded, tourist-filled Waikiki, The house location is perfect. It is set back from the main road, so it is very quiet and private. We could walk to the grocery store, food trucks, and beaches. The house had a beautiful view of the ocean. We could sit on the back deck and watch the waves crash on the shore and see the sunset each evening. We could also see whales off in the distance. I recommend bringing binoculars. The house was very comfortable and had everything we needed. I can't think of anything I would change, except I wish we could have stayed more than a week. We would definitely stay here again. Cindy was very easy to work with, and everything went smoothly.
This rental exceeded our expectations and most importantly the management responded quickly to minor issues that developed. They even trimmed/removed a tree that under certain wind conditions would bang against the house roof and make a racket. Early in our stay the living room furniture was replaced with very comfortable chairs and a new sofa. The condition of the house was very good to excellent. I would not hesitate to strongly recommend this house to anyone who wants to visit the North Shore of Ohau
