Great spot and the view is awesome
We loved staying on this relaxed side of the island. The house was clean and well stocked. Beds were so comfy and we saw turtles every day and fished right off the back of the house. We loved it!
The house was great! We had a wonderful time and i can't think of anything worth criticizing. I'm only sad that we had to leave.
Fantastic place to stay. Sensational views, wonderful place to relax and recharge. Property was clean and well taken care of. Great furnishings. The property is between the North Shore and Honolulu which provided lots of options for day trips.
Such a great property and the perfect chance to get away from everything. Grocery stores and fresh fruit close by, all the amenities you could need, amazing AC and not to mention right on the water! 12/10 recommendation!
We absolutely loved this house! So clean and pretty and the views were stunning! Would recommend anyone wanting a great house to stay here!! We loved watching all the turtles from the backyard.
The house was beautifully maintained and was very well supplied with beach equipment, chairs, water shoes, snorkels, boogie boards, floats. There was even sunscreen!
The view was wonderful and as advertised we saw turtles every day and one day a stingray.
The kitchen was very well equipped and it was nice to have condiments in the refrigerator to use for packing lunches.
There was a very good selection of games for evening activities which were appreciated.
There was a problem with the jacuzzi tub and the owner was very prompt in working to solve the problem. When it couldn’t be repaired during our stay they refunded money to our account promptly.
The location provided easy access to North Shore activities. Arrival directions were very clear and it was easy to find the house.
We had a relaxing time and everything was above our expectations! Great home!
I wish we had spent more time at the house just to watch and play in the ocean. The views were beautiful and the ocean was right out the back door.
My family group of 8 traveled to Oahu for my mom’s 65th birthday. This home was perfect for our gathering and we had a wonderful time. First, the home itself is beautiful and is super cozy and comfortable. The location on the beach is amazing and has direct access to a small, private beach. It was so awesome to have coffee each morning on the balcony facing the ocean. Second, the location is great if you are avoiding crowds/resorts. It is ideally located between Honolulu and north shore. We easily traveled to both places multiple times to visit the most popular beaches/attractions. There are also options for food/restaurants and beaches nearby. We found the nearby beach at Ka’a’awa was clear and great for swimming. The nearby beach at Mālaekahana State Recreation Area was great for seeing turtles. The host is a lovely person and responds promptly. Even though I never met her, I feel like I got to know her and she really was wonderful. We would love to come back again.
We loved the house. The setting was amazing!
We stayed with our family and loved the location; away from the tourist areas and could get to Waikiki or North Shore equally.
The beach is awesome at low tide, but you need to track the tide if you want beach vs waves and snorkeling.
The house had so many extras, from swim gear to kitchen utensils/appliances.
We have stayed in Diane's home twice now. First we came with our then 5-year-old son and another couple who did not have children, that was in April 2021. We had an extremely pleasant experience, the house is so nicely-appointed for a slightly larger group! This year it was just us and our now 8-year old boy. I was please to observe that nothing changed in the house and our expectation were fully met or exceeded. Diane is very easy to communicate with, and the check-in process is easy-peasy. I think our next trip will be to a different Hawaiian island, as we have now been to Oahu 4 times in 4 years, but if you are planning a trip to the North Shore, I highly recommend this property!
The vacation house was just what we had hoped for. There was 6 of us including our 4 year old grandson. The house is very well stocked including the kitchen and the garage which contained lots of things we used during our stay including beach chairs and boogie boards. The house was a perfect size and was really well cleaned before we arrived. The windows were very clear and therefore we had a great view of the ocean .The view is 180 degrees. We used the briquette barbecue 3 times and the smoky flavour made the food taste great. The sandy beach can be accessed just a few houses down and we went for a fairly long walk along it every day and it was also nice for swimming. We drove to all the North Shore Beaches and really enjoyed Waimea Bay, Sharks Cove and Turtle Bay. For our stay the weather was quite windy so there were times when we couldn't sit outside on the deck but weather is not something that can be controlled. Overall it was a great vacation!
Beautiful location, owner was great to work with, house was clean and well appointed, beautiful sunrises, and we really enjoyed our stay.
I read all the reviews and there is a reason why they were amazing!! It is exactly what you read! Sea Turtles pop up, whales jump behind the coral reef, landscaping immaculate, housekeeping is excellent and the communications with the owner was spot on. My friends and I will return to this paradise.
Thank you Diane!
We give this property 5 Stars!!!!!! It’s always a gamble when you book online because it’s hard to tell what the property is going to be like, We scored big finding this place. It’s a great home, very clean and comfortable, from the beds to the furniture, it’s well stocked with kitchen supplies, beach chairs, boogie boards, towels, water shoes, etc. The views are amazing and a 3 minute walk to virtually your own private beach. As a family of 5 having 3 bathrooms / 3 showers / 2 tubs was wonderful. We will definitely stay here again and recommend this property to our friends.
Property is amazing! The house gives great vibes and the location was perfect! The host was so helpful with suggestions. We absolutely loved our stay in Hawaii. Hope to come back one day. Mahalo!
