  • Hi Jeanne and T, I wanted to let you know your oceanfront cottage was a big hit with my family. The furnishings and decorations give the cottage a unique personal touch that makes you feel right at home. After a long day of activities, the girls would say what we were all feeling, “I can’t wait to get back to our Waimea beach house”. Before we found your listing, we’d been searching ads for a week. After numerous vacations in Hawaii we know what we like. We wanted an oceanfront house that you can walk out the door to watch the sunset. We wanted open windows to let the breeze blow through. I wanted to hear the birds in the morning and didn’t want to live behind a doorway, in a hall, in a high-rise. The girls love tropical gardens and get a kick out of photographing geckos under the porch light. This is the Hawaii I’ve treated them to every few years on Maui. The criterion was we wanted it all on Oahu’s North Shore because of a wedding reception and family reunion in Waikiki. Just before I was about ready to throw in the towel and settle for a townhouse condo, my wife spotted your place. We jumped on it and it was everything we expected and more. What really was the icing on the cake was your good old-fashioned Hawaiian graciousness. T made sure to ask us if there was anything we needed every day. This made it easy to inquire about the bikes and the snorkel gear. We used both several times and had a blast. Then we got to talking about surfing and he loaned us a video of the big waves that rolled into Waimea in 2006. Watching the surfers catch those 40 foot waves was awesome, and it was filmed from your front yard! We feel privileged to have stayed at your house right next to Waimea Bay. I have many wonderful memories of the North Shore from when I was a young man, now my family has their own set of memories that we will all share together. Thanks for making our North Shore vacation an experience we will lovingly remember over the years.

  • I have been home now for 1 week and each and every day I wake up sad that I am not awakening at this spectacular home. I can still recall the swooching of the palm fronds and the birds sweetly chirping as the warm sunshine beckoned me out of a very comfy bed. I stayed there from April 27th - May 3rd with my boyfriend, his mother who lives in Tiburon, CA, and his uncle from Melbourne, Australia. The house went above & beyond all of our expectations! We knew it would be beuatiful and cozy, but we didn't know that it would have everything we could ever need...the kitchen is fully stocked, we never ran out of toilet paper or tissue, the beds were very comfortable...no little detail was overlooked. Stunning tropical flowers welcomed us to our home for the week and everything, and I mean everything, was clean. We felt right at home! The house also has a wonderful gazebo overlooking the vast Pacific, and if you're lucky you can see Kauai in the distance. We enjoyed many a breakfast on that gazebo, and most every dinner. Some fine wine in the evening as you watch the glorious sunset...life does not get much better than this! The house also has an outdoor shower, which feels great after a day at the beach. And are you ready for this... it has warm water! There are also snorkel masks for your use, a ping pong table, couches for lounging on the front lanai, and 2 very affectionate sweet kitty cats. One named Nala, who will always greet you as you arrive home. The other named Tink, and he will always come to the window downstairs and say hello. Location can not be beat! A short 5 minute walk and you're at Waimea Bay. A short walk in the other direction and you're snorkeling at Shark's Cove. Just a few minutes further up the road and you're at Banzai Pipeline, home to big wave surf. Ted's Bakery is the place to go for freshly baked croissants (just get there early), Foodland is wakking distance, and Impossibles Pizza is an absolute MUST! The super nice and accommodating owners of the home (and very lucky... would love to trade my Broojlyn apt for their home any day!) did a marvelous job landscaping. Everywhere you go there's a palm swaying in the breeze or a Hibiscus displaying its beauty. It's a tropical paradise! We miss T and Jeanine and want to thank them for making our stay on the North Shore one we will hold dear to our hearts forever.

  • We just came back from the trip in North Shore, Hawaii. The beautiful rental home and the friendly landlords set the wonderful baseline for our vacation. The house is fully equipped with all the appliances and touched with details, so we feel just like staying home. There are tour maps, snorkels, and even bug repellent. Not to mention the 4 flashlights we fully used at the power outage time in Hawaii. Jeannie, T, and their entire family are very nice peole and treat us like friends. They gave us valuable trip advises and shopping tips. At New Year's eve, T put out his fireworks and showed my two sons how to light the fireworks. When we asked to borrow bicycles, T happily pulled out the bikes and pumped in the air. I just revisisted the pictures on this web site. All I can say is that the house and view are more beautiful than the pictures and the landlords are the best we can find. Mehalo. Hope to see you in the future. Mei, Michael, James and Eric

  • People have used the words perfect and exceptional to describe an experience or place so often that they have almost lost their power of description. To describe the sunsets, shooting stars, whales, Northshore atmosphere, stunning ocean,the wonderful hosts and ideal cottage without falling into cliches is impossible. It was perfect. Jamie & Ali. Jen & Bruce.

    My 2 daughters and I stayed here in August. The place is beautiful! The owner, tries and succeeds in making the house homey with lovely personal touches such as a box of candy upon arrival, and lovely soaps in the shower. The owners are so welcoming and helpful. We felt like friends, not renters. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants a relaxing, homey place right on the water You can't go wrong here. We will be back!

    Waimea Wonderful! What a perfect North Shore home away from home for our honeymoon. We feel blessed that we found your rental for our stay. It was a magnificent week here and what a great way to spend our last evening enjoying you and your neighbor's company on the gazebo, playing the beautiful instruments you made here with your own hands. You are lovely people. Thanks for sharing your slice of heaven with us. We will hurry back, and send our friends to stay here in the meantime. Mahalo and All the best.
