Overall, the stay was positive and we enjoyed our time there. The space is small but very comfortable, and the kitchen and bathroom are adequate for what we needed. The location itself is wonderful, located close to the beach and some places we needed to get to during our stay. I would definitely recommend this location, and would stay there again, however a few things could have been better. When we were there, the weather was very hot and humid. The AC in the main area barely cooled the space, and did not have any effect on the bedroom area. A couple nights sleeping were very uncomfortable in that regard. A few more spaces in the bathroom to hang things like toiletry bags and such would have helped, but we made it work. There is also a manual process of locking and unlocking a gate, which did get tedious after a while. This is certainly not a deal breaker, but it was a little bit of an annoyance. The host was very helpful and responsive to questions, and was welcoming and friendly in all interactions. I would definitely stay again, and I do recommend this property.
Very nice hopefully can stay next time
Great place to stay, close to north shore beaches
It was okay. It took 48 hrs to figure out how to work the AC, & the front door to get in safely or lock it & there are many dogs on property who bark often in day and nighttime… otherwise good..:).
Great chill place to stay with young children , if you don’t necessarily like hotels , was located close to town and also quieter beaches . Recommend!
Everything that was on the page was spot on! We really enjoyed our stay and the property was amazing! Lots of fruit also! The dogs barked but friendly...their bark scared us at first but after that it was all good we would stay again fer sure! The house was great too and clean! Everything was fantastic! Thank you so much! Aloha a hui hou!!
All the things you could need, close to the beach, quiet, lovely hosts
If you're going to surf all day and just come here to sleep, this could work. The location is good, central to beaches and towns. If you want a pleasant place to spend time after driving around or dinner, no. It's furnished with shabby, mismatched pieces that look like they're from Goodwill. Cushions on the sofas don't match, are frayed, and the armrests are dirty. The living room has two sagging sofa beds and not much other furniture, leaving room for the beds to fold out, and a window AC.In the bedroom, the queen bed is very soft. We noticed the shower door was broken and had been replaced by a curtain. There's no shaded space to sit outside, and the yard is filled with junk. I should have realized there's a reason there are no photos of the outdoors.We decided it was not for us and were willing to eat the cost after we found better lodging elsewhere.
This unit was perfect for our family of 5! The kitchen is stocked with everything you need. The property itself is beautiful and full of fruit trees, chickens, and super friendly dogs. It’s easy to access and the hosts were so great at leaving detailed instructions on where to park and how to access the unit. I highly recommend staying here!
Overall we thought the place was good! I’ll just list positives and negatives :Pros : quant place to stay, felt very safe, there are neighbors as listed but we only saw them once, super great to have a fenced in area to let our kids roam and get their energy out and a trampoline, a huge plus having a washer and dryer on site, toilet paper being on hand was also super great. There was a hair dryer on site as well and that was really nice to not have to bring one. Cons: we arrived super late in the evening and there aren’t really many close options to grab a water and there isnt a way to access water at the property so just plan for that if you are arriving late in the evening. On the listing fruit trees were advertised and definitely something we were looking forward to but the only tree we saw with fruit wasn’t a fruit you eat but we were told it’s a fruit you ferment and drink so, nothing readily available to pick and actually eat. One of the towels was also stained-I’m sure an old stain but nonetheless kind of off putting. Then of course the having to turn on and off the AC which I sort of understand but it didn’t flow very well to the bedroom so we were a bit sweaty during the nights. Overall I felt like it was a decent place to stay and seemed to accurately reflect the price point in which it is listed. Thanks for letting us stay at your place for a nice little getaway :) just enough warmth and sunshine for a little break from our cold weather.
We loved staying in this rental. It was spacious & thoughtfully arranged. The unit was spotlessly clean and well equipped for our stay. The kitchen was well-stocked for all our cooking abd dining needs. There was ample cookware & serveware for us to use. We also appreciated that the host provided two sets of clean towels for us as well as a washer & dryer. The area was quiet and conveniently located away from the north shore traffic. Thank you so much, we hope to be back!
Our son lives in Waialua, and closest hotel is just so expensive. So glad we found this gem. We’ll be back!
The place was small but we had plenty of room for our group. My only complaint was when you stepped outside all you could smell was dog poop and the trampoline was not safe for kids.
The advantages of staying there became apparent as we stayed longer. Initially we became aware that there was No stove, dresser space, small bathroom, manual padlock each time you entered and left the place. For children this is an awesome place as there were lots of animals around; dogs, puppies, chickens, all kinds of birds and gecko varieties. Tree swings, and a feeling of being safe and able to walk around for children was wonderful. The bed n the one room was comfortable. Air conditioning cooled down front room immediately; lots of fans. Lots of fresh fruit to pick; guava, mangos, avocados, etc. People who were staying there were very friendly and welcoming. Although not too close to the beach, had wonderful food at every place we ate at in Haleiwa and never had to wait to be seated very long. The washer and dryer were a big plus too.
Nice property with multiple rental options on the property. Mango trees and other fruit available to pick when in season. Washer and dryer premises on property for guests use.
The host was extremely detailed and clear on the check in process. The house was perfect for two couples. Had fruit trees around the property!
Peaceful, rural feel to the place and the property. The quiet beach was a short walk away from the property. Responsive hosts to issues or concerns.
The description was very deceptive…the WiFi was slow and of poor quality, there was no hot tub or pool, the space was extremely small and the kitchen was very minimal. It stated a stovetop which equated to a small two burner electric “stove” that could barely accommodate two 2 qt. pots (we were trying to make meals for a family of 5). There was a grill but no propane. It was three rooms attached to a larger dwelling that had permanent tenants who were raising chickens and dogs on the property so we woke up to crowing roosters and howling dogs every morning. There were other VRBO rentals on the property. There was also old and decrepit shipping containers and other junk on the property like old cars and such. There is a reason there are only three pictures of the same rooms. We ended up leaving a day early and going back to a hotel.
