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!"

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2005
Chick and Cookie are veterinarians that live in the wine country of California. They come to their home on the islands frequently for rest and recreation.
Why the Owner Chose Laie
We have always loved Hawaii. We had an opportunity to buy a home on the north shore of Oahu and couldn't pass it up.
The Unique Benefits of this House
Privacy, while being able to take in the fabulous ocean views, sounds, and smells is the great experience that we get with this home. Chick enjoys surfing and they both enjoy body surfing and exploring. The location of this property makes this very easy.

Dear Chick & Cookie, The stay in the house was chillin! Haleiwa’s Grass Skirt Grill was awesome & Flavor Maina’s Italian water ice was very yum! I learned to boogie-body board at the Hukilau although the waves were a bit rough & I got stung by a jellyfish. The showers of rain are very soothing! From the outside shower to the lanai’s view of Goat Island & ocean we love all Oahu’s got to offer. My first snorkeling trip.

Thank you Chick & Cookie! We had a wonderful time in Hawaii! Your house is beautiful! You've got a great spot here in North Shore! Thank you soo much for letting us stay here. Shrimp Shacks are awesome! We ate there three times! Ted's Bakery was great for breakfast as well as Shark's Cove. Breakers was great too! Thank you again! Just another perk for being an employee! Love, Brent & Michelle P.S. If you ever want to start a vet hospital here in Oahu- I'll be the first to transfer! :)

Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. Surf was definately up on N. Shore while we were her but we still had many quiet, calm snorkling opportunities, too. Grandpa had served at Schofield Barracks in '57 & had always wanted to bring his family here some day. Thank you Grandpa! Listening to "Iz" Hawaiian music throughout the adventure adds a nice touch. Some of the highlights: Paradise air-powered hangliding from Dillingham & flying over this Laie Pt & over all N-shore beaches...seeeing whales

Aloha Well, the second time was better than the first! Thank you so much!. I am so lucky to work for 2 wonderful people, but even luckier to call you friends. Skip & I never had a honeymoon so what a better place to celebrate our 25th anniversary. Thank you Cookie for the suggestion of going to the west side of the island. For anyone that likes to whale watch, now is the time to be here. They have put on such a spectacular show. I think Skip wants to make this a yearly visit ( and yes he did look at the help wanted pages). I guess my friend Debbie will have to come on her own. Mahalo Skip & Debbie

Dear Chick & Cookie How I wish we could have met you. Your house is beautiful & tastefully decorated. We had a great time & really felt comfortable in your home. We enjoyed cooking fresh shrimp in the spacious kitchen & making tropical drinks in the blender. There is so much to see & do that 1 week is not enough to explore the island. I recommend to anyone to get reef shoes so the feet are protected from sharp coral & rocks when swimming. Also, the north shore was exciting with large waves coming in. Also sun screen is a must for pasty white skin. Our journey is one we will remember forever. Every day was a new adventure. Oh, & the map is helpful when driving as the freeways & streets are hard to figure out. Lots of traffic at times 7 crazy drivers. Cheap alcohol was nice. Very friendly people here. Thanks for everything. Now we go home to Saskatchewan, Canada to our winter of -30C (look that up in F)BBBrrrrr...Snow, cold, ice, you guys have NO IDEA how lucky you are! Waimea Bay- Excellent Beach! All sand, no sharp rocks. Cheap jumbo shrimp at Chinatown $4.50- $&.00 per pound. Don't get shrimp at trucks on highway- RIP OFF! Go to Chinatown market. Fresh & cheap! This is our first family trip together in Hawaii & what a great place to spend it (at your house). Everything was great & hope to do it again! Took alot of great sightseeing tours & loved them all! Thanks for everything, Dave, Evilyn, Hollie,David Jr.,Mike Jodie, & Josh REMEMBER: EDDIE WOULD GO!! (figure that one out)

Thanks for letting us enjoy a peaceful, relaxing, & memorable vacation. Darren & Jamie Thanks so much for sharing your home with us. We had a great time. We will never forget the memories. We enjoyed every minute of it! Ryan & Kristie Thanks for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home. We had the time of our lives. We snorkled, boogie boarded, saw whales & turtles & enjoyed the pie a Ted's Bakery & the shaved ice at Matsamoto's. We will always remember this vacation.Mahalo! Ken & Lisa
