We had a lovely time as a family of four with kids ages 7 & 5. The house is exactly as described and steps away from the beach. The beach was a perfect place for us to explore the water front. We had friends staying at Turtle Bay and this was very close and convenient (5 min drive)

This was an incredible stay. Just far enough away from the busyness of town. But close enough if we needed anything. Would be cool if the property had a clothes line to hang up swim suits and whatnot. But other than that, we are already planning another trip and this place is definitely a repeat for us. Mahalo!

Wow what an amazing location. As a family of 4 with teenagers there was plenty of space. The beach right outside was great and lots to see in the rock pools. There was great beaches and plenty of activities nearby. It was nice to have some beach items like mats, snorkeling gear etc they came in really handy. Highly recommend staying here location location location, with everything you need for a relaxing stay.

This cute cottage felt like the "old Hawaii" I remember from living there decades ago. Exceptionally clean, simple style- yet has all you could need for a wonderful stay! Very private which I appreciate. A perfect combination for relaxing and experiencing the North Shore at its best. The sunsets and beach views were exceptional! Loved the ability to grill and enjoy some home cooked meals.The communication with the host was excellent, check-in easy and he was prompt to respond to questions and/or a need. I plan to return next year!

We had a fabulous stay at this beach front property!! The tide pools were really fun to walk around and see fish, eels, and hermit crabs! There was a nice rock wall separation from the ocean waves and we were able to hangout on floaties in the calm bay between the two. We would highlight recommend this property and are already looking for a time that we can come back!!

It was truly an unforgettable experience. The house was absolutely stunning, just as pictured. It was clean with all modern amenities. Our host was just one text away if we needed anything. The neighborhood was quiet. The beach just down the steps was the perfect backdrop for breakfast, dinner and cocktails. We will absolutely be back!

We just completed 8 nights at this idyllic North Shore cottage. It was everything as advertised and much more. Clean and air conditioned, all modern amenities provided, just steps away from a beautiful Hawaiian beach and a clear view of the sunset every evening. World class snorkeling is minutes away at Shark's Cove & Turtle Bay, world class food trucks are minutes away in the other direction in Kuhuku, and world class surfing is literally out the back door with Velzyland & Bonsai in sight from the deck and Sunset and Waimea beaches a very short drive away! You'll need to try hard to find a better Oahu beach cottage. Marcello was great with communications and made sure we were happy. We're looking forward to our next visit already, maybe come back in the winter for the whales and the Big Surf.

Easy check in after hours of flight delays. Couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful spot. Sunrises! Sunsets! Rainbows! All seen from the porch of this lovely vacation home. Equipped with beach toys, goggles, flippers, boogie boards. Saw turtles near shore as well as crabs and fish. Home was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for our two week stay. Definitely paradise.

It was a great location on the North Shore. We loved visiting all the food trucks, Kualoa Ranch, Polynesian Cultural Center, Turtle Bay golf resort, and the Town of Hale’iwa. The view was stunning and being able to lounge in the backyard while we watched the sunset and listened to the waves was perfect. We wish the beach was more usable for swimming, but that’s okay. We saw a seal on two separate occasions hanging out on the rocks on the beach. The house was as described. It’s not fancy and the beds could be more comfortable, but for the money and location, it is a great deal! Check-in and check-out procedure was very simple. We’d stay here again!

Location is everything

Directly on the beach..Sat and watched sunsets every night. Tide pools and a beach you could take a short walk on and a Lani we ate on most nights. Our favorite North Shore beaches just minutes away. Only suggestions would be a little updating..but for the price point, nothing unexpected. Roosters could be re-homed…lol. but typical for North shore. We lived on Oahu years back…so we know where to stay..and this is the place if you are focused on beachfront and North Shore. Mahalo.

Perfection

Quaint cottage with the right balance of modern convenience without losing its original 1940’s charm. Situated right on the ocean, I could slip down the stairs in my PJ’s, coffee in hand and dip my toes in the ocean. The grassy lawn was the perfect spot for my teens to tan, while I relaxed in the shade with a book. Ted’s bakery just down the street became a family favorite and Kawela Beach just 1 minute down the road felt like our little secret. I will definitely return here without hesitation.

Stay in HI

We had a wonderful stay in HI. This was a great location, not far from popular destinations (and a grocery store) but still private and quiet. The entrance can be tricky to spot, so I might recommend more signage. The home was very clean and stocked with essentials to get us through the first day or so. Communication with the property manager was helpful and efficient. It was great having our own access to the beach. Note, the washer/dryer are located outside which was unusual for us. They worked just fine but we had an initial concern as the units were rusted on the outside. However, we understand the space limitations inside and were grateful to be able to do laundry as we were there for a week! Would recommend this location to anyone.
