First Hawaiian Vacation

Date of Stay: 11/20/11 Review Submitted: 12/17/11

Pictures and listing accurately depicted the location. Home is spacious and comfortable for our group of 6 adults and one baby (greatly appreciated the use of the baby stuff!). Also appreciated the use of the boogie boards and beach stuff. Owners were very helpful. Location was great! Minimal traffic, felt private and secure, enjoyed watching the skydivers landing in nearby air field. Home was right on the ocean with beach access a few houses away. Loved being on this end of the island away from the bustle of the city and touristy beaches. Lots to do in the area.

Mahalo for making our stay so enjoyable. We had all the comforts of home. The supplies provied made it easy to move right in and start relaxing. The TV hook up and WiFi made it great for using our computers. Your well stocked kitchen made eating "at home" a breeze. We BBQd several times and loved preparing "local" cuisine. Everything was just as we hoped it would be - - - and better. We liked that we were not in the busy area of North Shore! It was quiet and yet we could access most places very easily. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Peaceful Sounds of the Sea - Great Vacation!

Guest: TravelDon (San Diego, CA)
Date of Stay: 09/05/11 Review Submitted: 10/14/11

Having lived on the California Coast for many years, our family never realized how incredible it could be to actually stay on the ocean, especially in Hawaii. The sounds of the sea, the clear turquoise water, the sea turtles swimming by, having morning coffee in the yard while enjoying the beautiful view all around us . . . this was all so very relaxing and just what we needed. This is a very peaceful area. The beaches are quiet and you can swim, snorkel, fish and relax and basically have most of the beach to yourself. This home is in a great location with an easy drive from the Airport and of course Costco was on the way there. Haleiwa is a great town and just 5 minutes from the house for eating out and shopping. We got to visit world famous beaches such as Sunset, Pipeline and Waimea and also took in Pearl Harbor and the Polynesian Cultural Center. If you are looking for a single story home on the ocean that is well equipped, very clean, beautifully decorated and has a great floor plan to accommodate the gang, this is it!!! Thank you for such a great vacation. We wish we could have stayed a lot longer and are already planning our return trip!

Owner response:We love our oceanfront home and it sounds like you enjoyed it as much as we do. We work hard to keep it current, clean and well stocked. It truly is amazing to have the ocean at your doorstep to enjoy. We look forward to seeingt you next time around. Aloha!

Great Vacation Home

Guest: Family and Friends from Portland, Oregon (Portland,OR USA)
Date of Stay: 08/24/11 Review Submitted: 09/12/11

We had a great time staying here. Loved how we can fish right from our backyard. The only things that we did not like was the geckos and cockroaches and also there wasn't any AC but we didn't let that bother us we still loved and enjoyed our stay. Will definitely stay here next time. Thanks Rebecca! BTW Rebecca is a sweet person, loved how she communicated with us before and after our vacation. She made everything a lot easier and understandable before we got to Hawaii. She's AWESOME!!!

Owner response:Thank you so much for your kind words regarding our Customer Service. We love it when our guests have a great vacation on the North Shore. Regarding the geckos, they are our friends as they do eat the bugs. It is a good thing we have the house treated on a regular basis for bugs/pests as it does keep them at a minimum in our benevolent climate. We certainly do look forward to having you back again in the future. Much Aloha!

Secluded and Peaceful!

Date of Stay: 08/09/11 Review Submitted: 12/07/11

We had an amazing stay in this beautiful home on the North Shore. The peacefulness and beautiful views are awesome. We spent a lot of time in Haleiwa, had Matsimoto's Shave Ice just about every day! The Giovanni's Shrimp truck is a MUST too! We hung out at the nearby beach at the end of the road from the house and it was always very secluded and peaceful. We do not want to leave this home, that's for sure, but alas our vacation has come to a close. We hope to come and stay here again.

Relaxing Get Away!

Date of Stay: 08/02/11 Review Submitted: 12/07/11

Thank you SO much for allowing us to stay in your home this week. We truly enjoyed the large amount of space the house allowed. This was the cleanest and best stocked vacation house we have ever rented. We loved the location. It was easy to do everything!. We enjoyed a holicopter tour, snorkeling with the dolphins, went to a Luau, shopped in Honolulu and best of all relaxed on the beach. It was a great cozy get away and we will definitely come back again. Mahalo!

Date of Stay: 03/20/11 Review Submitted: 04/01/11

We had 3 couples and one 15 month old here for ten days. No one felt cramped, lots of room for all of us. Home filled with amenities especially for the baby and the beach. Our intention was to rest, rest, rest - and we were able to do that in this home. North Shore is a beautiful place and more quiet than most of the other beach areas. Wonderful to be laying or sitting on the patio and watch the sky divers go right over our heads! Enjoyed the sea turtles just over the wall and the beach was beautiful, although be sure you have beach/surf shoes as more rocky than other areas. Beautiful island paradise! Would return to this home and recommend to others in a heartbeat. Description and pictures are most accurate for this location.

Loved our stay

This property was more than what we expected. The pictures don't do it justice. When you walk in the front door the view out the back patio doors was awesome. The house was well maintained and clean. There is nothing like having your morning coffee right on the water front in your own private back yard. I would recommend this house to anyone who wants to get out of the city and enjoy the peace and quiet of being right on the ocean. Would definitely stay here again.

Aloha! Patrick & Rebecca, thank you so much for the amazing time! Your home was much more beautiful than we could have ever anticipated. We have never slept better, listening to the sound of the waves. We enjoyed beautiful sunrises and sunsets from the back yard which was a definite high light. Skydivers were fun to watch and so were the sea turtles. We had eight wonderful days here and still it was not enough to see and do it all, although we tried! Looks like we will have to come back,,,Mahalo!

We had a BLAST! We spent every morning watching the waves and the sea turtles playing in the ocean. We explored the beautiful island but didn't have enough time in the day to do everything. We had an amazing vacation. Mahalo for letting us stay in your beautiful home!

Excellent Hawaii Vacation House

Guest: Renee & Jim and family, SF Bay Area, CA (SF Bay Area, CA)
Date of Stay: 08/28/10 Review Submitted: 09/11/10

We had a wonderful time. The house was as described and the location was stunning, right on the water. The property was clean and well-maintained, had an opportunity to meet the owners and they were very accessible, gracious and helpful. We explored the entire island using the home as our base. Found some wonderful beaches all over the island - too many to mention. Skydiving was one highlight - used Pacific Skydiving (right across the street from this home) - incredible experience. The constant trade winds and soothing sounds from the ocean made sleeping a delight!! We would definitely rent from the Quigley's again!! Wish we were still there!!

Incredible home

Date of Stay: 07/27/10 Review Submitted: 08/23/10

A true island oasis. This Georgina house is ahem and a half. I stayed in this house with my 16 year old son and my parents, whom I haven't lived with for 25 years. I was apprehensive about all of us staying in a house together. This house, however was PERFECT. Everyone had their own beautiful room. The ocean breezes were so welcomed everyday. The house is in tiptop shape. The decor is simple and relaxing. The atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable. We loved our stay and highly recommend this home to others seeking tranquility and calmness.

Paradise on the North Shore

Guest: stuck_in_ohio (Ohio)
Date of Stay: 07/12/10 Review Submitted: 08/09/10

My mother, sister, and 3 year-old daughter spend four wonderful nights here in July 2010. The owners are amazingly helpful and the property is breathtaking. We had originally planned to stay in Waikiki, but after two nights there, I wanted to get away from the traffic and crowds. The location of this property is perfect--close to some wonderful beaches (Waimea Bay being our favorite, 20 minutes away) and the very cute town of Haleiwa. But, it is also very secluded and you really can't hear anything except the ocean. The waves sometimes crash down over the sea wall and spray you with water as you sit in the backyard enjoying the sunset. My mom and sister walked across the street and enjoyed an afternoon skydive. We also made the short drive into Waialua to enjoy the farmer's market. The property is very well maintained, with plenty of room for people to sit around and talk, play games, eat, or watch movies. Each room is very nicely furnished and the fans throughout the house keep the gentle ocean breezes moving. We really didn't need to pack anything, as the house is stocked with everything you might need--beach toys, games, cards, toiletries, towels, beach chairs, etc. I have nothing but positive things to say about our experience in this lovely property. I only wish I could have stayed longer!

This home is such a great place to stay. It is do much better than any hotel on a crowded beach. It is just lovely and the view is the icing on the cake. We enjoyed watching the crabs and sea turtles from the yard. Thank you Patrick & Rebecca for opening up your beautiful home to us. We have created many awesome family memories. We had our wedding anniversary and a college graduation to celebrate and it couldn't have happened in a better place. Mahalo!

Fabulous Oceanfront Home!

Guest: Vacationing Vic (Oceanside, CA)
Date of Stay: 05/01/10 Review Submitted: 08/03/10

This is a fabulous home!!!! What an open floor plan for enjoyment of the ocean and each other! You couldn't ask for a most incredible view, with skydivers going by above, sea turtles swimming in the water below and the pleasant sound of the ocean breaking on the seawall. This is perfect place from which to see all that Oahu has to offer, or to just relax and read and enjoy the ocean. The house is amazingly clean and well equipped with everything you could possible need and the stone floors were so easy to keep clean. This home is in excellent condition. We thank you Rebecca & Patrick for your warm Aloha and for providing us a place to have create special family memories.

We had such a wonderful time in your beautiful home on the beach. We saw lot of sea turtles and colorful geckos. We enjoyed walks on the beach, snorkeling, skydiving, hiking, shopping, dining and exploring this beautiful island. It was lovely to all be together as a family and play games in the evenings at the big table. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home and creat many memories that will stay close to our hearts.

Our group enjoyed our stay - we were so excited by thge beautiful ocean view and all the sea turtles swimming just below us! It was so relaxing just to sit outside in the morning with a cup of coffe and enjoy the water, the scenery and even see the skydivers soaring overhead. We felt so comfortable and at home here and wish we could have stayed longer. We hope to return again soon. You have a very lovely home and we feel so blessed to have found you! Mahalo!

Date of Stay: 03/14/10 Review Submitted: 04/14/10

The place lived up to its hype! The view was spectacular and the house was awesome. Gaining access into the home was very convenient (no need to meet to get a key). The only thing preventing a 5 star visit was the lack of direct access to the beach. The wall along the beach is about 10-feet tall (securely guarded with a wire railing) and prevents any sort of access. However, a very short drive or walk and we were in the water in minutes. Our guests from Michigan were blown away and we're looking forward to staying there again! Much Mahalos!

Aloha Patrick and Rebecca, What a wonderful home and loaction. This is just so relaxing. We love to sit in the yard and watch the skydivers fall from the sky. We even sent 3 from our group up to entertain us. The view is absolutely breathtaking from the house. The sound of the waves when going to sleep and waking up were just wonderfully soothing!! This time of the year we were able to enjoy the whales spouting and breaching on the horizon. Near the house we spotted many sea turtles and it was so amazing just to see who could find the next one. Thank you for such a lovely vacation spot and a Family Holiday we will never forget!
