ALOHA FROM THE SUNSET BEACH HOUSE!!
Perfect for 2 to 8 people, located on the sand at Sunset Beach (on the main island of Oahu), this exotic, Polynesian-style house is one of the best values for a relaxing, exciting vacation in one of the most beautiful, natural settings the islands have to offer. The home has 4 bedrooms & 3 bathrooms, and sleeps up to 8 persons with comfort & ease.
My home is located right on the sand at Sunset Beach, on the main island of Oahu, about 1000 feet down from Pipeline, one of the world's most famous surfing spots. The beach in front of my house is gorgeous and is hardly used as there is no public access to it close to my home. The home has four bedrooms and three bathrooms. There is a Jacuzzi on the deck overlooking the beach and my own private volleyball/badminton court is right along side of the house, as you can see in the aerial photo on my website.
The house is less than ten minutes from the historic whaling town of Haleiwa, which is the main town on the north shore of Oahu. It has lots of restaurants, shopping, a marina (in case you would like to go deep sea fishing), and live entertainment nightly in some of the restaurants. The Turtle Bay Hilton is about five miles away from the house in the other direction, and they feature two championship GOLF courses, horseback riding, and a disco.
There is a wonderful Foodland Supermarket about a half mile from the house which also sports a Starbucks coffee shop. All the Island activities, from hangliding to scuba diving, from polo matches to jet-skis are all just minutes away from my tropical retreat. The water is crystal clear and the snorkeling is great. SCUBA diving is also a major attraction on the north shore with both boat and shore dives available. Waimea Falls is only a mile away, and hiking at Waimea Valley and visiting the falls is an unforgettable experience.
The house is my own personal residence and is beautifully furnished in rattan and antiques. You'll see pictures on the walls of stars like Suzanne Somers and David Carradine who have stayed and relaxed here.
Lush foliage surrounds the house and the sound of the wind and the waves will remain in your memories for years to come.
YOU WON'T HAVE TO bring anything except your Swimsuit and a Smile to have a Great Time!
Aloha from Your Owner!

The week we spent at the Sunset Beach House was one we'll never forget. We were travelling with our friends and our kids. 4 adults and 4 children. The house was set up perfectly for us all to have the space needed to be more than comfortable as well as all the amenities we'd ever need for a week away. The property was well maintained and in a great location on the north shore. Any concerns we had ( which was a minor dishwasher repair ) were addressed with a sense of urgency and our stay was followed up by the local support with phone calls to ensure we were completely satisfied. The location is close to so many other fantastic day trips that the whole family enjoyed such as hiking, snorkelling, swimming with turtles and surfing that the days seemed long and the week kept getting better as time progressed. We will most certainly return to the north island and would certainly stay at The Sunset Beach House again.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, families with young children, adventure seekers, families with teenagers, sightseeing.

My wife and I went there for a short week with 5 friends and we had a blast! This is the perfect beach house. The location is amazing; it's the last house of an uncrowded beach, just half a mile from pipeline. The view from the house is stunning, but be aware that swimming might be dangerous because of the rocks and strong waves (at least at that time of the year, i.e. March). Inside the house, you'll find everything you need. The house is very comfortable and clean, and the jacuzzi is great. What's more, the owner, Michel, has been really kind and helpful. We had an amazing time there and I would warmly recommend this place to anyone.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, adventure seekers, families with teenagers.

What a beautiful Beach house,right on the beach, functional,kitchen well equiped, rooms were comfortable. Sunset beach house meet all our expectations.Thelocation at the end of Ke Iki road made the house quiet and private. Best of all was the deck and spa, coffee inthe morning, looking out for whales, and sundown drinks in the evening watching unbelivable sunsets. Activities enjoyed by our mob, gliding and parachuting at Dillingham airfield, surfing with Suzy,Luau at the cultural center and Disco at turtle Beach resort. There was also the obigatory shopping expeditions to Honolulu and Waikiki. We visted a number of restaurants, Grass Skirt Grill, food trucks, Jamesions (highly recommended). But the best was having a BBQ on the deck, and having a few drinks. Foodland Super market close by was convienent for grocery shooping. Fresh fish can be purchased across the road from foodlands on tuesday and thursday. In conclusion we had a memorable holiday and hope to return in the near future. We highly recommend Sunset Beach house for all ages.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, families with young children, age 55+, girls getaway, adventure seekers, families with teenagers, sightseeing.

Four couples spent a week here and we could not have been happier with the house, the beach, the jacuzzi, the whales, the weather, the North Shore...I could go on and on. It was everything we expected and so much more. The flowers awaiting our arrival were beautiful and the house was exactly what the pictures showed. The Sunset Beach house is the perfect place to enjoy a Hawaiian vacation. We did not eat out much; we preferred to go get our food and it was handy to have a grocery store just a little way down the road. Any of the Things To Do on Oahu are not terribly far from the house, you can stay as busy or be as laid back as you wish. We went in the winter and the waves were awesome. We saw breaching whales, turtles and down the beach were the surfers. The sunsets were just breathtaking; we watched them sitting on the beach each night and never got tired of the sound of the waves as we went to sleep. If you get up early enough, the moon setting over the ocean is nearly as gorgeous as the sunsets. We are already planning a return trip and would not consider staying anywhere else.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, girls getaway, adventure seekers, families with teenagers.

If you are looking for a true North Shore experience then the Sunset Beach House is for you. The house is casusal, comfortable, not glamorous, but open and airy. You are on the beach, exposed to the North Shore sights, sounds, breezes and it's just steps to an almost private sandy beach. Watch the whales play offshore or catch an amazing sunset with a Mai Tai. Doesn't get much better. The house is simple, but has most everything you need for a nice vacaton. The surf can be big and dangerous during some winter months so it may not be the best choice with toddlers, few beaches on North Shore are really "Kid Friendly" during the winter. You can walk to Pipeline, Waimea Bay, Sunset Beach or several other surf spots and snorkle at Shark's Cove. This is an amazing house during the Big Waves! Enjoy the sunny days, comfortable evenings and nice yard with a volleyball court!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, girls getaway, adventure seekers, families with teenagers.

This house blew away our expectations! It's all that you see and more. Pictures and words cannot describe this home and it's location. The house is nice and spacious. It's decor was perfect for where it is. The house stayed a perfect temperature all day and was even better at night. Listening to the big waves crash on the shore when your in bed was amazing. Now to the best part.....the deck and outside. The deck has amazing views and is topped off with a brand new hot tub!! Just sit back and listen to the great music collection provided. How perfect is it to have your morning coffee on the deck every morning looking at the ocean. Don't like being in the sun all day? Well there are lounge chairs set up near the private walkway to the beach under a tree. You get perfect shade and great views of the ocean. The beach in front of the house is amazing and wide open! And the sunsets....there are no better we ever saw! Every night we saw a perfect sunset from our deck. It's hard to describe the absolute true relaxation you feel staying here! All the sites are close by. There is a food store about 1/2 mile from the house that even sells all your liquor needs. Turtle bay resort is 5 miles away and has nice restaurants and two great golf courses. So if your looking for a authentic hawaiian beach house that will make you relax to the fullest and fulfill your beachfront needs, then this is your house. Forget the crowded resorts with all the expensive restaurants and rent this home. Trust me you won't regret it!!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 2/2

Once again we spend another amazing week at Sunset Beach House! We have vacationed here several times during the last 16 years, and it truly is our favorite spot ever. One of the reasons we love it some much is because SBH is perfect for a romantic getaway, or a family vacation, or a vacation with several couples or friends. The house sleeps eight comfortably, and is completely equipped with everything you need to cook, barbeque, play, entertain, lounge, tan, relax, swim.....anything! The location could not be more perfect. The home and its surroundings are very tranquil and isolated, but it is a short walk to the snorkeling coves, restaurants, the bakery, the grocery store and all the various food trucks. There is absolutely nothing missing in the SBH experience. You will have it all, and enjoy yourself like never before on the gorgeous North Shore (hey, that rhymes!).Did you find this review helpful?

Our stay at the Sunset Beach House absolutely exceeded our expectations. The photos do not adequately describe the perfection of the location of this property. After reviewing literally hundreds of property choices for our Hawaiian vacation, none came close to the Sunset Beach House from a location standpoint. We were amazed at how close we were to the beach - literally steps away from the canopy of shade trees that cover the patio, hot tub (brand new), and volleyball court. The privacy of the beach was remarkable, given how close it is to the Pipeline and Haleiwa. With a large family like ours, we rarely succeed in making everyone happy with the locations we choose, but literally to a person this vacation was described as the best we've ever had. While we did venture out of our "home" on the beach, we attribute much of our vacation success to this property. Be sure to visit Ted's Bakery, which is very close by. On the rare nights that we opted not to cook, we enjoyed the short drive to Haleiwa where we had several excellent meals. Our favorite Hawaiian Shaved Ice was in Haleiwa (Aoki's - although we heard good things about Matsumoto's). There are so many shrimp trucks around, which I would avoid back home in Houston but are excellent in Hawaii. The grocery store around the corner from the property carries fresh, organic fruit and vegetables, and their fish selection consists mainly of wild, freshly caught Tuna, Marlin, Moonfish (wow!), and many others. We spoke with Michel several times while considering this location and he graciously answered every question we had. Once we booked, Michel sent us thorough instructions including several vacation tips. His assistant in the day-to-day running of this property, Bitsy Healey, was always available to answer any questions or solve any problems (there were none other than having to leave ;-). We will absolutely, positively return to the Sunset Beach House! Thank you Michel, for opening up your home to us. We can't wait to return! Sincerely, Mike, Sabrina, Allyson, Caitlyn, Fayth, Seth and AnnaGrace. PS...we left four brand new boogie boards for subsequent guests as well as for our return...Did you find this review helpful?

We found the Sunset Beach House functional and very comfortable and, with the Island's best beach on the doorstep and a reserve alongside, the location is unbeatable. The front deck was such a wonderful place to relax on the sun lounges, read a book or eat meals cooked on the 2 barbecues - in fact we rarely ate any meal in the house. The weather in May was warm, with a few showers during the first week, mainly at night. The surf was fun, but with shore-breaks close in and the bottom falling away quickly we had to be careful entering and exiting the surf. During the 2nd week of our stay the sea was almost flat calm with children playing in the small surf. We made the most of the superb weather conditions and snorkelled over the reef for hours, swimming through rocky grottos and filming our companions - fish and turtles. The beach in front of the house is beautiful with coarse, white sand, so clean and has very few visitors during the week. Not one, but two outdoor showers are located at the top of the beach path. What a luxurious treat to wash off any sand residue under hot water whilst watching the surfers further along the beach. Several undignified exits from a heavy shore-break left one of our party with ears full of shell grit that required syringing. He reports that the medical staff at the Kahuku Medical Centre, about 20 minutes' drive away, is efficient and friendly and the cost reasonable. We baulked at paying $300 per person all up for a round of golf at the Turtle Bay Resort, and with a little research unearthed a hidden gem 3 miles from the resort, the Kahuku Golf Course. The 'clubhouse' resembles a shipping container with a couple of porta-loos outside. The fairways and greens are less manicured than Turtle Bay and it is only a 9 hole course exposed to the trade winds but the cost for non-Islanders to play as many holes as they can fit into a session is $30! There are many shrimp truck and hamburger vendors in the area but we really enjoyed a Mai Tai and hambburger at Ola's, the beach bar at the Turtle Bay Resort and dinner at Lei Lei's Restaurant - expensive but the best meal we had during our stay. We ate at the Kahuku Grill, owned by a hospitable Mormon family. So take your own wine or beer, the family are happy for you to do so. The best lunch around is the unbeatable turkey and cranbery sauce sandwich at the Waialua Bakery in Haleiwa. Our children are more that happy to join us any time we book for another holiday at Ke-Iki Beach.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/2

Owner info
Year Purchased: 1975
About the owner: Hi, I'm Michel Rubini. the very happy owner of The Sunset Beach House. I am a musician by trade, and I have been playing piano since I was 3 years old. I came to Hawaii with my father for the first time when I was 18 and have had a mad love affair with the islands ever since. I told my father at the time, 'Dad, one day I am going to live here', and he answered with a little chuckle, 'Yes son, of course you will'. I don't think that he believed me at the time, but several years later when I was a little more grown up, I came back and bought my wonderful home on Sunset Beach and I have been coming to the islands ever since. To be able to sit on my terrace and view the beach and ocean and listen to the sound of the birds and waves is a wonderfully relaxing experience that I look forward to every morning that I am here. I am very happy to be able to share my little piece of Heaven with you. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Aloha, Michel
Why the Owner Chose Sunset Beach:
When I was first looking for a home to buy in Hawaii I was not familiar with the islands, so I decided to travel to all of them to learn about them and to see what each of them offered. I discovered after visiting the outer islands that Oahu was the very best of all of them. The best part of course is that I found the best beach in all of the islands, Sunset Beach, which was the best kept secret in all the islands. Nobody knew it existed there on the North Shore except for the local islanders, and they were not telling anybody. I was taken there by a very friendly local, and when I saw the beautiful, white pearly sand beach in front of my house and the exotic, secluded location, and also being only 1 mile from the biggest waterfall on the island, Waimea Falls, I fell in love immediately.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
My Home Has the unique advantage of being the very last home on a frontage road, and because of that I have only one neighboring house on my left side, which is hidden from view by a 30' hedge of island vegetation. On the right side of my home I have my private volleyball and badminton court, and then there is just state land for about 300 yards before the start of the next frontage road. For that reason, my home has a great feeling of privacy and tranquility with unsurpassed views of the beach and ocean. I never feel 'boxed in' like the other beach houses. ********************* I Found Out that I could be just as secluded as I wanted on the most beautiful beach in all of Hawaii, or I could enjoy a bounty of cultural and ethnic delights not found anywhere else in the islands. It was just up to me to decide what I would do on any given day, be a sun worshiper on the beach, or join in the party that is always going on around the rest of the island. *********** The Ancient Hawaiians considered this location to be a spiritual spot on the island and held many ceremonies here on the beach, and also carved hieroglyphics into the beach rocks (which you can see at certain times of the year when the tide is low). It is considered to be a location of considerable archaeological significance and is also believed to be a very spiritual place by the Hawaiians. *********************** Oahu Is as beautiful and varied as any of the other islands, but also has the advantage of being able to go to wonderful restaurants, movies, nightclubs and concerts. The main history of Hawaii plays out on Oahu, and the Bishop Museum, the USS Arizona Memorial, the 'Iolani Palace, which is the only true royal palace in the United States and the last official residence of the kings and queens who ruled Hawaii, King Kalakaua and Queen Kapiolani, are all must sees during your visit here to Oahu. ------------
