Avis THE MIRACLE HOUSE! Direct beach access to Pipe

It’s a great place to stay with a group who likes to cook and watch surfing. The property manager was very helpful and there when we needed her. If you are looking for the lap of luxury, hit a resort. If you are looking for a super fun place to spend some time, this is it!

If you want to see surfing, there’s no better place to be. It’s also really close to restaurants and surf shops. The house itself is in pretty rough shape. The main bathroom sports pink and black checkered tiles, a black bath tub and toilet, and a black spray painted counter and sink. It looks like something you’d find at a bachelor pad built in the 80s. There’s a reason it’s not pictured. Every faucet in the house is corroding. The only shower has a glass door that felt like it was going to fall off the hinges every time we used it. Also, there is no kitchen table. The only place to sit a plate to eat was the counter or outdoor table. We had to move a side table to the nook area to awkwardly eat around. There are no loungers outside as is pictured. There were only 4 chairs in the entire house and they were outdoor. Most beds were pretty uncomfortable. And the living room furniture was falling apart. The washer and dryer were new and worked well. Only two burners on the stove worked and half the time they would not ignite, leaving us to worry about a fireball from too much gas. The dishwasher simply didn’t clean. There was no propane for the grill. The outdoor lights kept tripping the GFI. The neon sign caught fire when we plugged it in. In the end, our group of 5 dudes had a great time because we’re all really laid back and willing to deal with crappy situations, but we agreed we would never bring our wives to this house. The pictures really over sell this house.

The main bathroom is not included in the pictures for a reason. Wow it was the waiter bathroom that I have ever seen. Dark, moldy and pink. We stayed in November and still had it was very warm in the house. We had all windows and door open to try to cool it down but the nights were too hot and it was raining outside. The view and location is amazing. Right on the beach and plenty of privacy. The waves were too big to play in but being on a pipeline this is to be expected. I really wanted this to be the house we come back to but I was embarrassed to have booked it for our extended family to join us. We had a couple issues and messaged the host multiple times with no response. When we had a couple of mice that were not invited I messaged for some help but still no response. Ridiculous!! I would not recommend this property.

Our family had a vacation of a life time. Beautiful Hawaiian tranquil relaxing North Shore experience. Can’t wait to come back. Loved the house and property. Thank you!’

I booked this property a month prior to my arrival, however, I was not told the property wasn't available until my midnight arrival in Hawaii with my family. We were tired and had no where to stay. Imagine the surprise we experienced when there was someone at the property upon arrival and when we spoke to the property owner they were rude and acted as though we were at fault somehow for booking their listed property. I was yelled at while I remained calm asking for a refund so that I could leave and find somewhere to stay. Horrible experience, I would never book this property again or tell anyone about this property.

Loved being by beach

The Miracle House was the perfect beach house for our family to spend two weeks on the North Shore. Thank you for a wonderful holiday. There is direct access to one of the most famous and beautiful beaches in the world. It was amazing to sit on the verandah and watch the locals surf the waves. My sons and husband were all inspired and hired surfboards for the smaller days. The house, including kitchen and laundry, is very well equipped. There is a BBQ on the verandah. We had several evenings with dinner sitting on the verandah watching the sunset. There was plenty of space for the 7 of us to spread out. Foodland at Pupukea is a short drive for groceries. There is also a bike track that runs from Pupukea past Ehukai Beach Park and a bus service that comes very half hour. Nicole was very helpful answering any questions we might have. We recommend The Miracle House and would love to return one day.

We had such a great holiday, loved every minute of it. Location was superb :) Ingrid

You can't get a better location than this if you like the beach and the waves. The house is as described (not in perfect condition), but there is plenty of room, the view is tremendous, and the beach amazing. Families will appreciate that there is a lifeguard shack very close by.

We came in for a wedding on the North Shore and had my whole family there along with my baby. It's hard to find big enough places for all of us, so this place was a win just because of it's size. Overall, the place was very good. There are just a few notes that I wish were on the listing. It didn't diminish our stay, I just like having all the info beforehand and figure others would too. First, there is no AC. There is one window unit, but it doesn't work. We were prepared for that and it was pretty warm while we were there (mid to high 80s in the daytime and mid 70s at night), but the breeze did take the edge off as did numerous house fans. The house does cool down a few hours after sunset, but late afternoon preparing for dinner nobody wanted to be inside. Second, we pretty much came for the deck and it was worth it. The view is incredible and the beach actually wasn't too bad to swim in for experienced ocean swimmers (we were there in the summer without the big waves). Third, there were two traditional rooms with a queen or king sized bed, one with two twins, at least one sofa bed, a loft bed, and a king bed attached to the great room. There was actually one more room than we saw in the pictures, so that was nice. Fourth, folks weren't lying about the bathrooms. The 80s one is old and weird, but again, we knew that going in. The shower in that room was retrofitted in a high tub, so it was awkward to get in and out of and splashed everywhere. Most everyone wanted to use the other bathroom. Fifth, the fridge did break while we were there. The host was super responsive and the property manager came by the next day to fix it. Burners were a little on the rough edge on the stove, so if you plan to cook be prepared on that front. Sixth, while the front entrance doors locked, we couldn't really lock the back screen door nor most of the windows. That being said, we wanted to keep it all open for the breeze and never once felt unsafe, even leaving our belongings there with stuff open. Overall, we were happy with the place, sad to leave the beautiful view, but also happy to get back to AC in the hot afternoons. Compared to the price per person at other places though (our friends at Turtle Bay were spending several hundred more per night), this was worth it.
