Our family had the wonderful pleasure of staying at this incredible home for 8 days. From the moment we walked thru the front door, we knew it was going to be an amazing week. This home has everything you could possibly want or need in a home. It is meticulously maintained and has absolutely top-of-the-line everything. When Dan told us that we only had to bring our bathing suits and toothbrushes, he wasn't kidding. Every amenity is waiting for you when you arrive. It is our sincere hope that this become an annual trip for our family and this will be our "home away from home". We went to Waikiki one afternoon and could not wait to get back to our private, beautiful beach right in our backyard. The location, neighborhood and nearby activities are perfect. We enjoyed intro scuba diving and shark encounters in nearby Haliewa and the grocery store is 2 minutes away. We loved waking up in the morning and having coffee on the lanai, spending the days on our own private beach, and falling asleep at night listening to the ocean waves as they hit the shore. This home is spectacular!! Beyond words...... Thank you Dan & Shelli for a very memorable week. We cannot wait to get back.

This property was of an excellent standard of presentation and cleanliness. It easily accomodated 6 adults, 2 small children and a baby. The photographs accurately depict the house, it's contents and surrounds. The owners were always obliging in responding to our requests before, after and during our stay. The toys and equipment provided, enabled the small children to play happily on the beach and in the garden. The books, games and surf equipment was very useful and fun for the adults. The provision of toiletries, condiments, laundry and kitchen cleaning supplies. along with copious towels and linen, meant we wanted for nothing. (Well, maybe a kettle for boiling water for a cup of tea would have been helpful, the saucepan was small and slow.) The beach at the front was beautiful, a constant source of pleasure, but too rough for small children and non swimmers, but there were many more suitable beaches not far away. Foodland store was five minutes away. Haleiwa Gallery for a decent coffee. Polynesian Cultural Centre a superb experience for all ages but be early to enjoy all the different areas of entertainment. Snorkel at Shark Bay or Turtle Cove beach. A car would be necessary to enjoy this area. The weather at this time of the year was perfect, neither too hot or cool, the people we met in Hawaii were extremely friendly and helpful. Thankyou to our hosts for the thoughtful arrival gifts. We hope to be back in a few years when the grandchildren are older.

Best Christmas Season Ever 2010!

As fine a place to spend the holidays as anywhere in the world! White sandy beach, humpback whales, green sea turtles and turquoise blue water, all in front of the home. Awesome master suite, lanai and kitchen overlooking the Pacific. I even rode a bike to the grocery store on the bike path occasionally. The home has everything, its almost too luxurious. The multiple outdoor showers were great for cleaning up before heading inside after a long day at the beach. The owners are professional and gracious, they truly seem to care that my holiday was the best ever. This was my third visit and I'll be back again ASAP! ALOHA Hawaiian Heaven!

Fantastic Executive Oceanfront Home - Five Stars

Guest: Rhino (Southern California)
Date of Stay: 08/06/10 Review Submitted: 08/20/10

This is an executive home with all the finest appointments and its located right on the beach between Pipeline and Shark's Cove. The beach is private and sandy...great for younger kids. You can snorkel in front of the house or walk 2 minutes to Shark's Cove for some of the best snorkeling on the island. There is also great swimming at any number of beaches within 5 miles of the house. Some of the best golfing on Oahu is 4 miles away at Turtle Bay. You can't miss Ted Bakery only 2 miles away. The house easily handled 7 adults and 3 children. Included with the house are towels, boogie boards, snorkeling equipment and surfboards...evrything you need to have a great time. Everyone had a time they will never forget. Thanks Daniel and Shellie for your hospitality. Steve & Ann

Epic Surfing

Guest: Bill (San Clemente CA)
Date of Stay: 12/16/09 Review Submitted: 07/31/10

Brought the family including our two teenage boys in Dec of 2009. The house was well appointed and in excellent condition. The Master bedroom and bath are beatiful, and there are aslo two bedroom/bath combos, decorated in a style well suited for younger kids. Further, there is a bonsue room with a sofa-bed downstairs incl a full bath. Lots os ammenitis incl surfboards, ping pong, foosbeall, gym equipment, outdoor BBQ and table, and just down thw street from the local market. We suggest hitting the Costco though as you leave the Honolulu area to save money however. We are used to staying at 5 star resort properties, and this was the first time we decided to rent a home. I must say, the experience is much more relaxing than staying at a hotel, as this beautiful home gives you plenty of opportunity to relax and unwind, without the compelling need to go out and do something you'd feel at a hotel property. we did all our cooking in the marble covered kitched or out on the BBQ. There is a nice downstaits indoor/outdoor lanai to lounge on, as well as an upstairs deck with a futon to view the piunding surf. If you are a surfer (as our entire family is), this place is next to some of the world's best surf spot. Our home in San clemente looks down on Trestles which is where we all surf, so we have some clue what we are talking about in this regard. Depending on surf conditions, the water may be a tad rough for those uncomfortable in the Ocean. Overall, we would recomend this property highly, and intend to go back in 2010!

Dream Come True!!!

My dream for a long time has been to take my family to Hawaii where none of us have ever been to celebrate my 80th year of life, and make memories for a lifetime. As I searched the internet for a place that six of us could call home for nine days, I kept going back to Hawaiian Heaven, but thought, how could all the pictures, list of amenities, and descriptions of the house be true----it was like a fantasy land. Well EVERYTHING I read and saw exceeded my expectations!!! Above and beyond the beautiful house, the private sandy beach, the beauty of the ocean, was the "tender loving care" given by Dan and Shelly. From beginning to end their attention, their patience and prompt responses both on email and phone, the welcome gifts and flowers throughout the house, gave us a feeling of warmth and caring. So much to see an do in close proximity by walking, by car or on bicycles provided. We did make our memories: however, because we had difficulty leaving our home away from home, most of our memories wer made in the beauty and magic of "Hawaiian Heaven on an Empty Beach." Thank you Dan and Shelly and somehow, someway, I must return!!!

Beyond Belief! We have been to the Caribbean many times, but from now on its the North Shore of Oahu for us, and WE HOPE TO STAY IN THIS HOME EVERY TIME! Owners are professional, and the home is magical! What a beach, and hardly a soul on it! My boys are going to take up surfing the next time we visit.

Amazing! Incredible home. We have stayed here 5 times in the past 5 years. The whales in front of the home are so close! My wife is an advanced student of Hula so we travel to Hawaii frequently. The beach in front is huge and white sand and private. We can't seem to stay anywhere else- Hawaiian Heaven is as luxurious as it gets. Mahalo and Aloha!

UNREAL! We stayed for the month of March and never wanted to leave. This is our 4th trip to this home, and we will be coming back every year. This place is truly 5 Star Luxury. The surfing and golf are incredible and the beach awesome! Next year we are going to scuba dive near the Humpback Whales.
