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 Sunset Beach House. Oahu's Favorite Vacation Paradise!
Year Purchased: 1975
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. ------------
Owner's Map of Sunset Beach
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

Sunsets at the Beach House

The Sunset Beach House is in a magical location, off the main road, tucked at the end of a tiny street, in it's own little world. Once you walk up the stairs, you smell and hear the ocean, then walk towards the balcony to see the perfect view; blue ocean and golden sand, directly in front of you. It is just a little south of Pipeline, which is perfect, and only 20 minutes to the historical town of Haleiwa. We had a few wonderful nights there with our teenage boys, one at a japanese restaurant, sitting outside, with live music, a local called Paul Izaak. Our boys went surfing mostly - for smaller waves, off Turtle Cove, about 15 minutes north by car. Then they would return to our magical home for a spa and barbecue, whilst watching the setting sun over the water.

The Sunset Beach House is the quintessential hawaiian beach house!!! It definately lived up to everything we expected. The setting is perfect on a quiet section of sunset beach. Even during the days leading up to Thanksgiving, the beach felt quiet with only a handful of people. Within walking distance, there is great snorkeling at sharks cove if the waves aren't too big. The private outdoor shower was used more than the showers inside the house because it was so convenient. The views are unbelievable and with the house being so open, we slept listening to the ocean each night. Plenty of room and wonderful to have all the amentities. We kept note to keep all food in the fridge and had no problems. I am looking forward to staying at the Beach House Again! Cindy Moore

Found the Sunset Beach House accidentally while googleing beaches during a long NY winter! (2008) Must have been fate because we needed a place for three nights on this recent trip and unbelievably, it was available. What can we say beyond "Loved It"! Comfortable, charming, bright, open, private, and in Hawaii. Fantastic master suite loft playing ocean waves all night long. The beach is beautiful and nearly private. We were there over a weekend and the beach goers were sparse. We plan to return in the future to enjoy most assuredly, an empty weekday beach all to ourselves. Hot tub, and outdoor shower with ocean views to enjoy while sippin away the warm care free days. And of course, sunsets to die for! True how quiet and private while so close to everything you'll need. We never wanted to leave the property but if you must, Haleiwa is fun to visit and don't miss the shrimp truck near turtle bay or Ted's Bakery. Yummy! On second thought, stay away, never rent the sunset beach house. It hurts to much to leave! :) Thank you so much to the owners. Everything was perfect and you will surely hear from us again!

Love love love this place. Im actaully from Oahu but have been living in San Francisco for the past 12 years. I decided to take a vaction with my friends and wanted to give them the quintessential hawaiian experience. This was the spot! The location is AHA-MAZING! Its like your own private little beach on the North Shore. Its also right next to Sharks Cove which has awesome snorkeling. And walking disctance to Foodland (a supermarket), which is far a few bewteen on that side of the island. The house is to die for. Its unbelievably charming. Totally gets you into the hawaiian vacation mood. It also has everything you need. Everything. Pots, pans, tons of spices, towels, boogie boards, an umbrella, a rice cooker, etc. We had such a great time, our friends got engaged on the beach! Cant wait to go back!!!

We have been going to Sunset Beach House for the last 15+ years. The location, home, surroundings could not be more ideal. There is not enough space here to list all the wonderful aspects of this house -- lots of bedrooms, fully-stocked kitchen, outdoor shower, amazing wrap-around deck, beautiful hot tub, volleyball court, isolated beach, walking distance to grocery store, bike/waking paths, super-clean home, nice ammenities, gracious housekeeper/property manager. Everything is A+, first-rate!!! I recommend it to everyone -- singles, couples, families, groups....

The house and property are stunning. The house sits at the END of a small cul-de-sac and is very secluded and private. You will fall asleep to the sound of waves and be awoken to the chirping of birds. It is true paradise and a true taste of Oahu's famed North Shore. I've lived on Oahu...this beautiful house is the real deal. Grocery shopping, amazing Ted's Bakery, and quaint Haleiwa are just minutes away. The beach and hot tub are SECONDS away. So...what are you waiting for?
Owner response:Thank you so much for this wonderful review. Its great to know that my guests enjoy my home as much as I do. I always endeavor to to make my guests as happy as possible and I am glad to know that once again that goal was fulfilled. Please come back and visit soon, You will always be welcome on our island and especially in my home. Aloha, Michel

Our family of three kids, myself, my husband, and parents had a wonderful time at Michel's beautiful home. It was the PERFECT place to stay as we were able to enjoy the incredible beaches, yummy restaurants, fruit stands, and close access to everything. I cannot say enough about it being the perfect location to enjoy the area. The house layout was perfect for all of us and my parents enjoyed having their own space upstairs. We hope to go back again...we are still dreaming of the ocean views, listening to the waves crashing while sitting in the great hot tub, and watching for whales!!

We loved staying at this gorgeous property! The house itself is open and airy with lots of natural light. We spent a lot of our time out on the deck, where we saw whales and dolphins every day, and ate the best fresh fish we've ever had! We loved the location.... it's quiet and out of the way, but at the same time very convenient with Foodland a 2 minute drive away, and Haleiwa Town a 5 minute drive away. It's also really close to great snorkeling at Waimea Beach, and of course, great surfing! We had an absolutely fantastic vacation here, and we highly recommend this house for a nice relaxing, peaceful and very fun experience!

Review Submitted: 04/22/11
First of all the pictures do not do the house justice. We happened to get there right when the sun was setting and we realized there is a reason they call it SUNSET BEACH. It was are first time to Hawaii and we could not have asked for a better place to stay. The house with all the skylights and windows makes you feel that you are always outside, we had a hard time ever leaving. Michel and Bitzy were very helpful from the first day I contacted them. With the four bedrooms there is plenty of room for 8 people, we had only 4 with my wife and 2 teenagers. It has everything you need right there and is very clean and well maintained. From whale watching every morning with our coffee, Pearl Harbor, jet skiing (highlight of the trip for my son 10ft from a humpback), shaved ice in town, a short walk down the beach to the pipeline to watch surfers battle 20+ ft waves one day. As my wife said it was her dream vacation. Michel thank you for opening your fabulous home to us. My wife said is we ever come back I want to stay here again and I corrected her and said when we come back.

I wanted to let you know that our stay at the Sunset Beach House was very nice. It was a perfect place for our family retreat. We had great beach days, great Mai Tai's, great dinners all while being entertained by the whales! We just loved the location, as you said, "almost a private beach", even on the busy weekend. It's bit hard to step back into the > working world after such a restful break!
