Close to Haleiwa town, Waialua & Mokuleia beaches, hikes, and all the North Shore has to offer.
You can pick delicious fresh fruit straight from the organic farm orchards on the property - mangos, papayas, guavas, avocados, lychee, dragonfruit, oranges, grapefruit, apples, dragoneye, bananas, macadamia nuts - depending what's in season when you visit. There is a beautiful beach with a few amazing surf breaks right down the street! It's about 2.5 blocks to the ocean, about a 10 minute walk! Rinse off in one of our hot outdoor showers under the sunset sky when you come home from the beach as the moon and stars come out for the night.
Property is located in a country neighborhood with typical pet and country animal noises (roosters, dogs, etc.) There are dogs on property in a gated area. The tenants who live on property will allow them to run freely through the yard for exercise two or three times per day then bring them up to their house each evening. There is a gate with a padlock that you will need to put a code into and then manually push a gate open and close behind you every time you enter and exit the property.
This is a quiet country setting, so expect to hear typical country sounds like dogs, roosters, people & road noise. You can hear big waves crashing in winter during high surf season. You will occasionally hear EMS vehicle sirens if they are driving by in response to emergencies and the once-monthly testing of sirens at 11:45am on the 1st business day of the month. The neighborhood dogs howl at the sirens. A few times per year, people in the neighborhood light off fireworks at night.

Easy-to-find property just off a main road, in a rural residential community. Just a few minutes´ drive to a public beach. A breakfast&luch cafe is 2miles away. On the premises and on the neighboring property, there are many animals, esp. dogs and roosters. So as stated in previously published reviews, animal noise at night or in the early morning is an issue. There is also some noise from the road. The room is welcoming, AC is efficient, nice balcony. The double bed is rather on the narrow side, those who sleep in it must know each other well. Bathroom is on the other side of the stairwell. The gate to the property is locked with a padlock, which is a bit tricky to handle if you are a single traveller, because you will have to get out of the car twice. Instructions sent beforehand were very detailed and easy to understand. Room was very clean.

I am so glad we stayed here! I wanted an authentic Hawaiian stay. We got that! The tropical fruit trees all over the property that we were able to explore were wonderful and tasty everyday of our stay. I never knew Avocado's could grow so big! We wanted to be near the water. We got that! Nightly quiet walks to the beach (which were almost deserted) to see the sunset was breathtaking. Needed to make sure any questions were answered timely. Very impressed! Ran low on TP, host made sure we had a roll ASAP. Close enough to food and shopping. Definitely got that! I fell in love with the North Shore area and relaxed Hawaiian vibe. Honestly, this was not my first choice when we were planning out Hawaii vacation because of people complaining about the animals. The birds were there, dogs, ect. but so were the flowers, the wonderful smells, the views. More positives that knocked out any negatives I had. My trip would not have been as great as it was without staying here. I will absolutely be staying here again!

We loved this VRBO just 10-15 minutes away from Waimea beach. Our last 2 days of our honeymoon were spent exploring the north shore. The host went above and beyond, leaving a personalized card and gift to welcome us into this vacation rental. Wonderful stay, highly recommended!

Walking distance to beach, yes. We drove to everything else. Lots of chicken/rooster, dog, and other animal noises may keep you up at night - bring earplugs. Our place was as advertised with fridge, kitchen sink, tv, ceiling fan, two beds. We did not use the a/c. The host provided shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Had to get out of car to unlock property locked gate and every time we came or went. Some fruit available to pick on property: we got mango and star fruit.

We enjoyed the mountain view space very much. It’s in a real community of the north shore and your accomodation dollar is supporting genuine local people. We found it handy to the Halieva food trucks and the beaches are awesome. You will need a rental car though. The space is comfortable and good value.

We loved the quiet of this location and the north shore. The nearby town of Haleiwa was adorable. We love the beaches and food trucks of this area. The roosters were talkative in the morning but we learned to love them.

The rental was clean and the views of surrounding hills were simply incredible. Unfortunately the rental was not quite as we had imagined.
1) The biggest challenge we faced was the total lack of hot water. Our trip included a wedding and reception, so showering was required. We ended up using the electric kettle to warm up some water and sponge bathed/washed in the unit’s shower.
2) We loved the rural feel and rustic charm of the unit, but the daily competition between roosters and dogs was a bit much. We ended up closing the windows and running the AC to drown out some of the noise.
3) The check in process was super easy, but we missed pertinent info regarding the exterior gate access. Clarification with the property manager occurred but long after we figured out our mistake. The gate does not use an access code on a key pad, it’s manually accessed via a pad lock. This requires multiple trips in and out of the vehicle every time you come or go.
4) Rental was clean, but the exterior access point was muddy and required a hose to wash prior to entry. There is no “clean” spot to wash and we struggled with muddy feet and grass clippings.
5) We tried to use the washer/dryer multiple times but the units were continuously occupied.
