The tip of the peninsula is preserved as park. This is real Hawaii without high rise hotels. World famous surfing in front of house as well as Sunset, Pipeline, and Waimea surf beaches close by.

Some guest comments: 'This house is a perfect jewel. The views take one's breath away!' 'Great view, wonderful decorating, lovely area' 'We absolutely lived on the deck...mesmerized by the ocean!' 'We woke up each morning to the beautiful song of the birds & the ocean waves. The beautiful rain showers & the most amazing rainbows. Greeted by sea turtles right in front of the house & sting rays waving hello' 'Mealtimes were a highlight, sitting out on the balcony. Personally, I spent most of my time out there pinching myself to make sure that I wasn't dreaming and the view was real!'

This house was everything we had hoped it would be. We were able to comfortably fit 6 adults and one child. The Lanai was great for meals and daily whale watching. Sleeping was good with the ocean breeze and sound of the waves. The location was good with easy access to beaches, green turtles, and the Polynesian Center. It is away from rat race of the populated part of the island. A great place to stay.Owner response: Glad you guys had such a great time. Nothing like sleeping to the sound of the waves. Please come again. Chick and Cookie

We stayed at Chick and Cookie's for two weeks in March of 2013. The whole experience was very pleasant. The owners are very easy to work with and very responsive to questions and inquiries. The house is located on a peninsula with views of the open ocean, Goat Island and Hukilau Beach. We especially liked the long and spacious lanai, where we spent most of our time when we weren't exploring the area. Hukilau beach is uncrowded and Laie seems a world away from Honolulu. The kiteboarding and surfing is good and we had whale sittings from the lanai and Laie Point most days. There is also a more private beach on the backside of the peninsula. Don't know the name but we dubbed it Proposal Beach because my son proposed while we were there. (She said yes) The neighborhood is quiet and the people friendly. The house had plenty of room for six adults and had all the items needed to eat in and cook. It has beautiful hardwood floors and an outside warm shower for cleaning sand off as well as a washer/dryer and barbecue. It is about a block from Foodland which if you get the Makai card is pretty reasonable price wise for Hawaii. The house is walking distance to beaches, the Polynesian Cultural Center and a few small restaurants. Laie Falls hike is close which we recommend and the trip out to Goat Island is also fun. take a picnic! The PCC was great and the LDS temple visitor's center is worth a trip. There is nice dining in Haleiwa and for a quick bite we recommend 7 Brothers in Laie or the Kahuku Grill and Tita's in Kahuku. It is a short drive to Sunset Beach and Waimea Bay. This is a great spot for a family stay or North Shore adventure base and the house was just right. Thanks to Chick and Cookie for sharing! Pete and AmiRecommended for: Age 55+, sightseeing, families with young children, romantic getaway, adventure seekers.
Owner response: Wow Pete, so good to hear from you and that you had such a great time in our home. We haven't tried 7 Brothers but will have to the next time we come. Congratulations on the upcoming marriage. We can't imagine a more romantic location for a proposal!

The property was just as advertised. Well stocked and well maintained. Great location, wonderful lanai, excellent kitchen. We grilled out on the lanai every other night. Loved listening to the ocean every night. We logged into our office every day for a few hours and the wifi was fast and consistent. We stayed for a month and felt like kama'aina (locals). This place is good for your soul. Whether you want to relax on the lanai all day, or get out and go, this is a fantastic location! Thanks and Mahalo Chick and Cookie, Randy & KarenOwner response: So glad you enjoyed our home! It does our hearts good to know that others experience the same peacefulness that we have every time we visit. Thanks so much for caring for our "little slice of heaven" in our absence.

The four of us had an absolutely wonderful stay these last two weeks at your home in Oahu. The location, right over the ocean in a quiet neighborhood but convenient to shopping and transit, could not be beat, and views from the lanai of the shore and bay were so beautiful. We really appreciate how the house is designed to let the trade winds flow through the whole structure, so that everyone is always comfortable no matter what the time or temperature. We found the house to be clean, well maintained, spacious and charmingly decorated in the Aloha spirt. The kitchen is nicely updated and so great to have laundry facilities right on site just off the garage. There were more than enough linens and towels, and staples such as paper towels, toilet paper, soap, etc, plus boogie boards and snorkel gear!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, families with young children, romantic getaway.
Owner response: Joni, thank you so much for the kind words. It gives us great joy to have guests come away with the same wonderful feelings that we have every time we visit. We appreciate you! Mahalo! Chick & Cookie

Myself, my husband, his parents, my mom and our 3 children spent an amazing week at Chick and Cookie's home this past April. We had the vacation of a lifetime! My girls surfed the North Shore, we saw turtles on the beach, went up in a glider, snorkled, played on the beach and just plain relaxed. This home is beautiful. My mom and the kids slept on the lanai every night! The beach just down the path is quiet, private and beautiful. We had two rental cars and enjoyed travelling to Haleiwa frequently to check out the beaches, local farm stands and turtles. We would return again in the future. It was wonderful. Thanks Chick and Cookie for the use of your beautiful home, Jim, Lisa & familyRecommended for: Families with teenagers, girls getaway, sightseeing, families with young children, romantic getaway, adventure seekers.
Owner response: Jim & Lisa, we are so glad you discovered a bit of the magic that we experience every time we visit. We are so happy to share our home with people like you. Please come back soon! Mahalo! Chick & Cookie

Sit on your Lanai ( 30' long hawaiian covered porch) and enjoy your view .. spectacular crashing white water of the open ocean (throw a rock and hit the water), see your own five miles of white sandy beach which curves around a calm bay..walk there in two minutes and get lost for hours. Fishing boats pass in front of your home, we saw LOTS of whales jumping & birds flying. This home has an entire wall of (operable) sliding glass doors for a panoramic view from the professionally decorated expansive living room, master suite, bar and fabulous kitchen! Loved the view of the Island, too! Dark, cool to the touch, Koa wood floors under your bare feet are throughout the home, enhancing the real Island experience. Another beach is just three minutes to the south of this home where we saw the rare Monk Seal basking in the sun. We looked her number up online.. she might have her baby anytime soon. We saw coral, shells, scurrying hermit sand crabs, numerous shore birds, lots of big sea turtle families and schools of fish swimming in unison in crystal clear, aqua blue, water. If you are an early riser, walk out to the point and watch the sun rise over the ocean or never leave your 'home". Enjoy it all right from your deck. Nothing could have been better! This home is on the water and not on the noisy and busy main Highway. It is located on a spit of land in a safe, quiet area where just a few private, expensive homes have been built. The Lanai provides the perfect amount of protection from wind, if any, and direct sun. We lived out there and loved it! Situated just minutes from many world famous surf beaches, cocktails and dinner out at Olas, the 18 hole Turtle Bay golf course designed by Arnold Palmer and more. Find local and inexpensive food shacks nearby (the owners provide a great list!), tour the Polynesian Cultural Center (10 minutes), don't miss the easy hike up Waimea Canyon to the waterfall and lake. Enjoy the large granite kitchen. A shopping center with a good grocery store is 2 minutes away. Separate breezeway for reading/ naps in comfortable chairs that make into even more beds is delightful... or sleep out on the lanai and hear the crashing waves and feel the island breezes! Palms sway in the breeze. While there, it rained only at night, making the days beautiful and fresh. The 80 degree temp, as we understand is typical in this area, was perfect. The airfare is the least expensive to Oahu, making this the best vacation ever! We are going back!Recommended for: Tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, people with disabilities, sightseeing, families with young children, romantic getaway, adventure seekers.
Owner response: We certainly appreciate such a detailed review of our home and your adventures! We hope you do come back soon and experience more of the magic that we always experience at our island home. Mahalo! Chick & Cookie

Chick & Cookie's home is located in an excellent spot. Its close enough to Honolulu to do the "touristy" stuff and drive back to the peace and serenity of La`ie Point. If the hustle and bustle of Honolulu and Waikiki isn't for you, then drive 15 - 20 mins. north to enjoy Sunset Beach, Sharks Cove, Waimea Bay, or Laniakea Beach (to view the basking sea turtles). If you're a beginner at snorkeling, then Turtle Bay is just 10 mins. away. For more advanced then (previously mentioned) Sharks Cove or beautiful Hanauma Bay (45 mins. south) is great snorkeling and the variety of sea life is abundant (bring an underwater camera!!). For those who like to hike, there's Diamond Head or Manoa Falls. Once you're done hiking Chick & Cookie's home at La`ie Point will be waiting for you. Also within a 30 - 40 min. drive is the Dole Plantation, the pineapple soft serve ice cream is great! Speaking of food . . . during your stay, there are 3 places NOT to miss. 1) The Hukilau Cafe (delicious and VERY affordable), 2) The Kahuku Grill (awesome burgers), and 3) The Impossibles Pizza Truck . . . this truck starts the afternoon at Sunset Beach, moves on to Sharks Cove, and ends the day at Waimea Bay. The prices are reasonable and size of food portions are very generous (a slice of pizza is 1/4 of a large pizza!!). The lasagne (six cheese or sausage) is excellent. Chick & Cookie's home sleeps 7 comfortably. Grocery store (if you're staying for a week you may want to consider a trip to Costco), post office, movie theater, hardware store, and ice cream / shave ice shop are walking distance. The beach (not crowded at all) is barely 1/8 of a mile walk. In the morning, walk to the end of La`ie Point and enjoy the beautiful sunrise that begins the day. The view from the lanai is spectacular and the breeze that comes in is refreshing. The breeze and the sound of the waves in the evening is so relaxing and soothing that you'll have no problem falling asleep. Chick & Cookie, your home made our first Hawaiian vacation a fun and memorable one. It was very hard to leave and hope to go back in the near future. Thank you for welcoming us into your slice of paradise! Vince, Melody, Samantha, Vanessa, JT, John, Heather, and Henrik.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sightseeing, families with young children, romantic getaway, adventure seekers.
Owner response: Wow, thank you so much for your excellent review! Looks like you had a busy stay and discovered some of the magic of the island. A pleasure having you. We get great pleasure out of sharing our little slice of heaven. Please do come again. We'll "keep the light on" for you. Aloha & Mahalo! Chick & Cookie

If you're looking for a "get away from it all" vacation home, this is the place for you! Chick & Cookie's Hawaii House is paradise found! The tropical breezes, sounds of the ocean waves and the breathtaking views from the lanai whisked our family away to true relaxation. The home is extremely comfortable & well appointed. No comparison to a small, stuffy hotel room in Waikiki! So, forget about the traffic and craziness of the tourists' Hawaii & come to the real Hawaii -- North Shore! PS: Make sure to visit Ted's Bakery -- awesome treats!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, people with disabilities, sightseeing, adventure seekers.
Owner response: We are so glad you enjoyed it! We work hard to make our home your "home away". Please come back soon! Mahalo! Chick & Cookie

6/2010) We just spent 2 weeks here with our whole family (8 of us ages 6 years-63 years) and never had a harsh word to say to each other, what does that tell you! The location for exploring the island is great and we did that. But we ended up so happy just walking to the beach we could see to the left of the house and just hanging out on the lanai, reading, eating, playing games and sleeping while the beautiful Pacific graced us with it's beauty and hypnotic sound. It must be one of the most beautiful views in the world! The house is very comfortable and filled with the feeling of aloha...I'd recommend this home to all my family & friends!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sightseeing, families with young children, romantic getaway, adventure seekers.

What a beautiful house and location. My first impression was to lay out a mattress on the lanai and sleep out there...the sound of the ocean and night time breezes seemed so romantic. A large master bedroom with walk in bath. Two smaller bedrooms and a bathroom off of the combination kitchen and living room. Fully stocked kitchen with bar stools around the kitchen island and a patio table on the lanai. A nice touch is glassed in area around the patio table to break the breeze while eating. I happen to get around in a wheelchair and was able to use the house although not specifically built for access. The upstairs neighbor gave us the combo to the garage and going through the garage there was a small 1/4 step up. I did find the bed mattress a bit old and hard and the bedrooms got hot at night...no A/C...but ceiling fans helped with the windows open. After a few days though we acclimatized though. The long very narrow driveway was a major problem and only one person in our party dared negotiating it when backing out. We finally opened the garage door to turn the car around. All in all it was a great trip and I would love to stay here again.Recommended for: Tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, people with disabilities, sightseeing, families with young children, romantic getaway.
