While we had a good time overall, this stay felt more like glamping than a comfortable beach rental. Communication with the host was minimal — I had to reach out the day before to get check-in info, and my early check-in request was never answered. The photos are misleading; while it is beachfront, the shoreline has eroded into a steep drop. It is technically possible to climb down, but it’s unsafe and inconvenient, especially for kids or elderly guests.Cleanliness was also disappointing. Multiple plates, bowls, and cups were put away in the cabinets with dried food still on them, which made the kitchen feel unwelcoming. On top of that, the house was very hot, and the ceiling fans didn’t do much to help with airflow.We ended up cutting our trip short and booking a hotel to get some good rest before a full day of travel. While the location, ocean views and sunsets were beautiful, overall the house feels neglected and not prepared with guests’ comfort in mind. With better upkeep, more attention to cleanliness, and some thought toward guest experience, this rental could be much better.
Our week was just the recharge the whole family needed. The location and space was perfect!
We had the most magical family surf trip here. The location is amazing and on a quiet stretch of beach in between Rocky Point and Sunset. Every night we watched the sunset from the awesome deck and even saw whales. The property is exactly as pictured. Mahalo for a wonderful stay!
This property is absolutely perfect. Location was ideal to visit the North Shore. There were 8 of us and we were very comfortable. The main house is very nicely stocked with kitchen appliances and everything worked very well. Parking is also excellent. We had 3 cars and were able to park in the courtyard without any issues. We were very comfortable without air conditioning. All rooms have ceiling fans.
Absolutely stunning home to stay at. Right on the beach. Able to enjoy walks on the beach, the surf, waves, sunsets, and the occasional rainbow! Stayed with 7 family members. Having both homes on the same property worked out perfectly for us.
This house was perfect for our family. The location was absolutely amazing and we would definitely visit again. The home was stocked with everything we needed and the beach was literally at our fingertips and toes. The beach is listed as private but there are people walking it and playing on it all day long so it’s not private. The only issues we experienced were that 3 of the 4 bedroom TVs didn’t work, but we weren’t there to watch TV so it didn’t impact us much. The refrigerator did seem to have an issue keeping the temperature near the end of our stay. The guest house does get pretty hot during the summer months so it’s important to keep those windows open at all times to allow for a breeze as there is no AC. The main house kept pretty cool with the breeze from ocean. Some of the windows don’t have screens so we had a bit of issues with bugs entering the home. It was either keep the windows shut and sweat or open the windows and possibly get a few bugs flying around in the house. But you’re in Hawaii so bugs are expected! The house is pretty old, guessing it was built in the 40s or 50s. Not everything has been upgraded, but we didn’t mind that too much, we had what we needed and we explored the island most of the time. The owners father showed up at the property during our stay which threw us off a bit as we weren’t expecting an unannounced visit. I’ve never had an owner randomly show up during a VRBO stay and it would have been nice to have been alerted beforehand.
Beautiful home (s). Well equipped for all needs. Very quiet neighborhood. Surfers paradise with fantastic sunset views Will definitely stay here again!
Great location cozy beach house we would stay here again without thinking twice.
We had the most amazing experience at this property. The house was extremely clean when we got there. The owner was super responsive. The north surf shop was great for bike ride rentals and very affordable.
We were two seperate families( one of 5 and one of 3) and we felt there was plenty of room
