Dreamy Vacation on the North Shore
Guest: Jen

Review Submitted: 03/05/12
This was my husband and my third trip to the North Shore and this was by far the best home we've stayed in. It was extremely clean, well kept, well-stocked (bikes, boogie boards, the works!), and we loved every minute. We were seconds from the beach, seconds from Ted's Bakery (my *favorite* place for chocolate haupia cream pie!), and minutes from Turtle Bay and Haleiwa Town. It felt like another world from our Colorado home. We will most certainly be back. Thank you again, Tamar! Aloha!

I loved it, it was perfect for my little boys...They have a pack n play, high chair, lots of toys, bikes, beach toys, chairs, you name it they have it......The house was close to the beach and close to Ted's Bakery, great place to get food.....The neighbors were nice and friendly....The house was very clean, beds were comfortable, furniture was nice.....One thing that may concern families is, there are lots of stairs outside on patio, but my one year old got around just fine.....Overall the house was great, we had an amazing time..... :)

We visited with four children, ages 13,10, 7 and 5. This is a vintage North Shore beach house. It is very clean, beautifuly decorated, and up to date. I cannot think of a single thing that can be improved upon. It is perfect for children, all ammenities that they would need-- step stool, booster seat (and high chairs), toys, dishes, beach gear. It's all here. The beach is a very short walk. The neighborhood feels safe. Our teenage babysitter (a North Shore resident) said "this is a family neighborhood where all the kids come to trick or treat." The neighbors are friendly and the cars drive slow. We were comfortable letting the children explore the area. We wholeheartedly recommend this rental with no reservations. We hope to return.

My husband and I spent 9 nights at this charming house on the north shore. Neat and tidy with a lovely covered patio for breakfast and romantic dinners. 3 minute walk from Sunset Beach (beach chairs and umbrella provided at the house along with beach toys if you have kids). Quiet neighborhood with Ted's Bakery near by along with Turtle Bay Resort for golf or a nice dinner out. Grocery store about 5 minutes away. May is a quiet of time to go...not many visitors yet which made the beach a very enjoyable place to read, rest and swim. The locals in the Sunset Beach neighborhood are friendly and full of suggestions of places to go. We would recommend this to a couple of family with small kids and we would definitely consider a return trip in the future. The few questions we had after our arrival were quickly answered by the owner via email. There is a local contact for any immediate needs while at the house. All in all a most enjoyable vacation!

Our family had a really special holiday in this house. Everything for those with young children is provided for, from sand buckets, boogie boards, snorkelling gear, bikes, highchairs, stools, dvds, playgym, kids cutlery and plates...the list is endless. It makes travelling with young children so much easier and stress free. The backyard balcony is sensational for relaxing and alfresco dining and the kids loved the outdoor shower. Places like Shark's Cove, Waimea Bay/Valley and the turtle feeding grounds are a short drive away and places our family loved. Ted's bakery makes the best Chocolate Haupia pie and is a short walk away, as is Sunset Beach. I would recommend a car for your stay on the North Shore.

We were disappointed. The beach is actually 2 blocks away. The ceiling fan in one of the bedrooms did not work.We were assured that air conditioning was not needed. WRONG....It was 88 degree outside and at least 95 in the house. The house itself is ok but not at all what we expected. The charming bakery that we thought was just across the road was 2-3 blocks away. The house was clean and well kept. The enclosed back yard was very pretty with swings for the kids. The hot outside shower was the best. Customer service was not very helpful as far as answering questions about some things.

My family was set up at the beach house and I could dawn surf at sunset. Caught an early winter swell while my kid played at mother's with his mum & new friends. House & location had everything to make it easy for both of us. Waimea Falls Park is just up the road & my son loved it there with the cool peacocks. We even saw a monk seal taking a break in morning at our beach. Bringing back my wife and son for sure in the middle of winter next year for great surf at sunset! Thanks for the great trip!

Our family stayed at the house for 8 nights in May. The house is older style but clean and funky with a great partially covered deck out the back and a good play area for the kids. The outdoor shower is fantastic and the kids loved the play equiment and use of the boogieboards, goggles etc. The location is great and Sunset beach is a very short walk away. I would suggest a car as a part from Ted’s bakery (which is pretty limited) there are no shops nearby and a car also means its easy to do the run down to Pipeline or Waimea bay. We had good waves during our stay which did mean that Sunset beach was a little rough for the kids but just a short walk around the corner though the beach was fine – so everyone was happy! In terms of the neighbourhood there are some very fancy places right on the beach but some of the houses are also pretty round down. The area has a good vibe though and everyone we met was very nice. Note the house doesn’t have a phone (there are pay phones at the bakery though) which was an issue for us as our mobiles didn’t work. Wendy who manages the property is great though and was very helpful in assisting us to keep in contact with back home. Overall we had a great time and a relaxed and comfortable stay.

Our stay at Sunset House was great. The best setup you can imagine for a family who enjoys the North Shore. Very calm and safe neighborhood. The property is cosy and maintained with love and care. It was just wonderful for my kids. Wendy was very helpful and answered promptly our questions and requests. The wireless internet connection was a plus, bring your laptop and be connected w/ home, friends, airlines, rental cars, attractions, etc. Mahalo.

Perfect location and best family trip we've had! Sunset beach and backyards straight out in front of the house so I was surfing right out in front every day! Outdoor shower was awesome. Teds Bakery across the street very convenient and had the best pasteries in the world! My wife and kids loved the beach and tidepools out in front. Thanks for all the added extras in the house for the kiddos! See you next year!

We have 2 kids and had the most INCREDIBLE time at this rental. It made things really easy for us with the bunk beds, kids TV & DVD and the play set in the back yard! The beach is right out in front and the sun sets into the water every evening! We rode the bikes a lot because the bike path is right around the corner. We don't surf but all the locals said that the beach out in front of the house is one of the best in the world! The back deck was our favorite spot, especially in the evening after our bbq's. Can't wait to stay here again.
