North Shore Plantation House***************************** Tax ID W51792723-01

A party of six, we found the plantation house to be our own jungle paradise. The house and the grounds were immaculate. We loved the lanai and the the way it was connected to the house through the 2, 15 foot, sliding doors. We left them open most of the time and when it rained the sound and smell permeates the house.

The pool is advertised as a community pool but although we used it twice a day we always had it to ourselves. There is snorkeling gear, stand up paddle boards and pingpong in the garage. The outdoor shower is tucked away in what feels like a jungle waterfall and enjoyed most when it's raining. The owner and head groundskeeper, Michael, has done an incredible job of landscaping the property with coconut and fruit trees and here and there a giant volcanic boulder that looks like it landed right where it sits. Thanks Michael, for making your house available and I hope we meet again.

We were visiting family on Oahu, and this spacious, well-equipped house was perfect for our two families with kids. The house exceeded our expectations in terms of space, furnishings and atmosphere. Papaya, banana, and dragon fruit trees surround you as you have breakfast on the spacious lanai. The house catches cool breezes and is tucked away at the back of the property -- it was a quiet oasis. My husband had one of the best naps of his life on one of the lanais! We all enjoyed refreshing swims in the shared lap pool. Michael was very welcoming and friendly, and we thank him for sharing his beautiful home. We would love to stay here again!

Perfect for our reunion. We came from three distant continents to Hawaii to be together and Plantation House was the perfect place to stay.

The house is wonderfully open and airy, sliding doors that disappear completely leaving a wide open expanse leading to the wrap around porch with plenty of places to for sitting and eating. We ate outside regularly on the porch enjoying the island breezes. A huge kitchen that allows for many helping hands when preparing meals, or just hanging out while watching others prepare the meals! Each bedroom with its own bathroom and individual deck.

Very nice salt water swimming pool available to cool down after sightseeing excursions. Not to forget the outdoor shower hidden among the rocks and plants for a completely pacific island feel on return from the beach or pool.

Early morning brings a wonderful cacophony of bird song, including the resident peacock, who occasionally visits personally to the deck. Awake to the sound of the waves crashing on the nearby beach, and because the house is set back from the main road no traffic noise.

Michael was the perfect host, always available to answer questions and offer local advice.

Our group of seven thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Plantation House, it made our reunion in Hawaii unforgettable.

Our family was in Hawaii to celebrate wedding anniversaries - a 45th, a 10th and a 1st! This was the perfect house for us! It was all the listing indicated, but so much more! Bedrooms were roomy and the beds very comfortable. A plus for our family of 8 is that there are 4.5 bathrooms in the house. We spent a lot of our time on the porch that extends on two sides of the house. We absolutely loved the patio doors that disappeared into the frame and let in lovely breezes. The layout afforded us family together time and also private couple time. The living, dining and kitchen areas are open concept. Each bedroom has its own balcony. The kitchen had everything we needed for the two nights we cooked. The lap pool was a hit - especially with our two grandchildren. The grounds are gorgeous. We could hear the waves breaking on Sunset Beach - a short walk from the house. We were visited frequently by chickens and a peacock, whom we named Kevin (after the bird in "Up"). While we did not get to meet Michael, the owner, he was just a phone call away to answer any questions. We would recommend this house for those who like to be near sites and activities, but still want a quiet, relaxing atmosphere.

Paradise on the North Shore. Michael has done an amazing job preparing this property. The house is fully equipped with everything you need. We felt right at home and enjoyed every minute of our stay. We look forward to returning next year!
