This was everyone's favorite location we stayed during our vacation. The home itself fit every need for our family of four - enough space for all four of us, comfy beds, a full kitchen with everything we needed, comfy beds and we really made use of all the "extras" from colored pencils to snorkel gear. Our hosts were absolutely wonderful - they were incredibly welcoming and friendly, generously sharing local information and recommendations. My kids' favorite was getting to play with the friendly pets - especially Huck, who was up just as early as they were :) The location was great as well; we felt safe in the community, and were minutes from all the North Shore fun we had planned for our stay.
Host, Sarah, was the best from our reservation until we checked out. She was very helpful prior to our arrival and welcoming when we arrived. The home was very nice! Clean, cozy and larger than we expected. The beds were comfortable and the entire unit was well stocked with all that was needed for our stay. The AC and fans were nice to use during the warm afternoons. We especially loved seeing Huck! Thank you so much Sarah. We hope to return soon!
The property is the back house behind the hosts’ home. It still offered privacy and the host family is amazing. We felt safe and comfortable and had everything we needed and more. If you want to explore the North Shore this is a perfect job as everything is close and easy to get to. Waimea Bay, Haliewa, Sharks Coves, Dole Plantation, Kaena Point all within a short drive. We went to the local beach for sunset every night and it was less than a 10 minute drive.
Happy to fine such a nice place in Waialua. Sarah was a great host. The house was clean and comfortable. It had all the amenities. We will stay there again.
We had an excellent experience with the cottage. We went during springbreak and were concerned about crowds but this cottage was tucked away away from the hustle and bustle of honolulu. The location was great and the host was veryreply oreply.b rwpply answer
100% effective communication with the host. They know the area and were able to answers local questions about food, beaches etc. Prompt information and Prompt updates and prompt communication 100% Clean and great facility. Great space enough for a family of four. Functioning AC. Beds were great and comfortable. Fans in every room. Space was very clean when we arrived. Cottage had boogie board, cooler and everything that you would need to start your adventure. Kitchen had adequate supplies for cooking. We had dinner there every night and had no issues with what we needed to cook.100% great location. Close to beaches, hikes, food, shave ice, Acai bowels etc. Quite neighborhood. Safe neighborhood. When out walking or running every morning and felt very safe.100% friendly atmosphere. Like coming home to family. Huckleberry the dog greeted you each returned trip with a wagging tail. Host youngest son knocked on our door frequently telling us about a lunar eclipse, his fishing tackle box , his bicycle etc. I would give the Cottage 5/5 stars and the Hosts 5/5 stars. It was a great stay with my family. I would rent again if I had the chance. Very awesome and great stay at the Beachy Hawaiian Cottage.
Comfortable, clean, wonderful owners
Very cute place! Clean and quiet. Felt very safe and secure. The property was well stocked. Communication with host was excellent. Excursion with hosts charter was phenominal. Overall fantastic place to stay!
The cottage was a great home base for our 5 days on Oahu. Minutes from many beaches, restaurants and shopping. The host made sure we had everything we needed. Hope to return 💯!
We wanted to feel like the locals so loved staying at the Bruner's cottage. The cottage was clean and light. Best sleep I've had in a while - bed was comfortable. The Bruners made sure we had everything we needed and were very accommodating (including fresh papaya picked by their son) and loved being greeted each day by Huckelberry. If we ever come back to Hawaii and need a place to stay, we are definitely booking this cottage.
It was a great stay on the north shore! There was easy access to the north shore, surf competitions, and Haleiwa. We would definitely come back here.
This property was at the PERFECT location. The Bruners were the most amazing hosts and made us really feel at home! My daughter wanted to invite them to our daily adventures and would wake up every morning asking if she could go play with them and their dog . We will definitely be staying here again
Thank you so much for your guys hospitality. You were all super friendly as well as Huckleberry and Midnight. We had a wonderful stay and it was better than we were expecting. The house was really clean and the bedrooms were nice. Our son, LJ, still talks about Sunny boy too. He misses him and misses Hawaii as well. We definitely plan on staying with you guys again in the future. Thanks again and God bless you and your family!
Sarah’s place is clean, spacious and very close to Haleiwa area. We had a great time staying and will definitely come back.

My child is allergic to cats and dogs. We did book this space (3 months upfront), because on the website it says that this place are not allowing any pets. About 1 month after booking I followed up with the host asking for the details/instructions/etc. She told me that she would send all 48 hours prior to arrival, as she did. Instructions said: "we have a friendly dog on the property". I sent a reply right away, explaining that my son is allergic and we cannot have any dogs or cats around. She told me that they will keep dog inside their house to make sure that it's not gonna contact our child. We arrived at 6:00pm, and by 6:30pm the dog was already running around the property, and just to be clear - this "friendly dog" is Pitbull. I have 2 kids - 2 years old and 8 years old (allergic one). I came to the vacation to relax, and do not think about their "friendly dog". Earlie morning, this dog was already next to our glass door, waiting for us without host around. We were basically locked in our tinny house until they decided to remove Pitbull. It was the worse experience ever. I did write the host explaining that it's not gonna work for us, my son already feeling very bad and we want to move out, and her reply was: "You cannot have your money back, because under the policy you have to cancel 14 days prior to arrival", but we knew about dog only 48 hours prior to arrival per her instruction email. We did move out regardless. Worse experience ever.
It was a nice location to explore the North Shore. The cottage was nice and the whole family was very friendly. The North Shore relaxed atmosphere is very different from what we're used to, but it was a nice change of pace.
just as advertised: clean, nice, well furnished. two bedroom, one bath. both bedrooms had well working a/c units. also included floor fans too. kitchen was amply supplied with a large refrigerator. Host and family are really nice too.
Sarah and her family made us feel like family. From booking all the way through checkout, Sarah made sure that we had what we needed and if we didn’t, exactly where to get it. All of their recommendations for dining and activities were spot on! And I can’t forget Huck greeting us when we came home!
The home itself was spacious enough for our family with two teens. We never felt like we were on top of each other. The location being so close to town made getting around easy and convenient. The only thing I wish is that we could’ve stayed longer! Whenever we do get back to Hawaii, we will not hesitate to book with Sarah again! Mahalo for everything , Sarah and family!
Warm hospitable care and great cottage! Know the area well!
We absolutely loved our stay! Our Host was absolutely above and beyond! She was incredibly flexible with us! I 100% would stay again! Thanks Sarah!
Wonderful host. Went above and beyond in every way. Safe and quiet cottage. Clean and comfortable with many amenities. Would definitely come again.
Our stay was so wonderful at this darling cottage. The hosts were informative and very hospitable. Our family was super comfortable. The cottage is in a great location. We loved our stay and hope to be back again!!
Loved our time with the Bruner’s! Everything was perfect when we arrived! Communication was excellent! They have everything you would need from beach equipment to kitchen equipment! Thank goodness they provided coffee for our first morning! We would love to go back!
Everything we needed for our family of four to enjoy to north shore and come back to a clean, comfy place to stay. The house felt fresh and new and the beds were comfy! Stocked with beach chairs, boogie boards, snorkel/fins. Hosts were so helpful. The only downside is it’s not walking distance to town or beach but it’s a very short drive to incredible beaches and adorable town so not a problem. We really were happy with finding this place and being able to stay.
This property was perfect. It had everything we needed to set up a homebase for our trip. The cooler was a lifesaver! Its location was ideal, close to everything we needed, but far enough away from the crowds.The hosts were amazing, and went out of their way to make sure we were happy. (Thanks again for that frozen pizza!😁) They offered great suggestions for restaurants, beaches and activities. AND there was Huck, the dog. We miss him already! Thank you for everything- the amazing accomodations, and kindness. You made our trip better than we could have hoped! Hope to be back soon!♥️
We loved the property! Great location directly in the middle between laie and Honolulu. Quiet and out of the way. Sarah was a gem and was super friendly and helpful! Would definitely stay again!
Ryan & Sarah were just Amazing! So warm & lots of Aloha and like family. We were beyond blessed for all of their accommodations . We were surprised with her and freshly baked yummy sourdough bread We definitely picked a Perfect place for us and we will definately be back. 😘
My 16 yr old son and I stayed here and had a the best time! Cottage is spotless, comfortable, close to beaches, food and shopping. The hosts were extremely accommodating and easy to get a hold of. Check in/out was easy peasy, and our host hooked us up with their Shark Dive Charter - Hawaii Ocean Adventure Tours (better than One Ocean Diving) where we got to free swim/dive with sharks for an unforgettable experience. Wish we could have stayed longer, and definitely plan to visit again!
Sarah and Ryan were wonderful hosts, very communicative and available throughout our visit. The location and home were perfect! We truly felt we were coming “home” every evening after a long day of activities. As a bonus and being a dog lover, the highlight was having their pup Huckleberry greet us each morning. You won’t be disappointed!
The cottage was perfect!! It was very clean and comfortable and we felt safe and secure there. The property was everything we could have asked for. The beds are extremely comfortable, the AC was awesome and the kitchen was well stocked. There were so many extras like beach chairs, beach towels and boogie boards etc. We were also able to do laundry which was very helpful. Sarah is wonderful, she is so kind and easy to work with. I am afraid of dogs and she took her time to introduce us to their dog Huckleberry. He is very nice and to the shock of my family, I actually liked him! She also gave us suggestions on places to go and things to do. She suggested swimming with sharks which I had never thought I would ever do, but we did it and it was the highlight of our vacation. Sarah and Ryan actually own a tour and adventure company, if you are going to book any tours check with them first!! I wish I would have known before we had already booked and paid for all of ours.
We felt very fortunate that this was the property we chose for our vacation. We will absolutely stay there again! Ryan and Sarah thank you for everything.
