To quote a guest (with permission): The location is spectacular! The house is right on lovely Malaekahana Beach but feels very private, with a short path winding from the house through the beach vegetation to the sand. The views are simply awesome, and there is nothing like opening one’s eyes in the morning to see the sun rising over the Pacific. Pure Paradise!"

Life Changing!

We decided last year to take this trip for the family and bring my mother and stepfather along, as they would likely never experience Hawaii. This island and this home blew away our expectations. It was therapeutic in a way that we can’t adequately describe. Perfect vacation and location!

Exclusive Escape!

We all appreciated the attention and care, especially from the lovely host, Brynn! The location is incredible - exclusive sandy beach, fun activities, and close to north shore attractions (Waimea Falls, Polynesian Cultural Center, Pupukea snorkeling, food trucks, etc.). The house was stunning and relaxing, and we loved seeing the sea turtles swimming by the shore!

Beautiful Home in a Great Location

This property is gorgeously re-done. Everything is top of the line, the location is unbelievable (centrally located to everything in North Shore but very private) and the beach is practically private. I think we saw 2-3 people walk past during our week stay, but otherwise it was like having a private path down to our own beach. I would highly recommend this to families looking for a private and relaxing getaway.

Paradise

This is a piece of heaven. Everyone had a wonderful time and all of them want to return with other family members. Its peaceful atmosphere and fun amenities made everyone happy, from the nine year old who learned tennis and ping pong to the the older members of the party who relaxed and let go of the stress of daily life. Just sitting on the beach was a delight. I would return any time!

Our family loved this house. It is beautiful! The house has an open floor plan which enabled our family to enjoy each other while still giving plenty of opportunity to spread out. The view from the house is amazing and there is a very short walk down a beautiful path to a gorgeous beach. No one wanted to leave! We hope to be able to visit the home again soon!

A fantastic family beachhouse

This is the perfect family getaway house on the North Shore of Oahu. We live only 25 minutes away and it feels like another world. The house is open, roomy and fun for family get-togethers with separate rooms and bathrooms, a ping-pong table and a perfect kitchen for making and enjoying meals together. The beach is beautiful and feels like a private beach - we took morning walks with our coffee and were all alone. Part of me does not want to say anything because we will definitely be back and don't want the competition in booking it.

Excellent place for a family getaway

This was an excellent place for our first family trip to Hawaii. The property manager, Brynn, was absolutely wonderful and there to help us check in. The house was very clean and spacious. Plenty of room for our family, and fully furnished. No a/c but not needed with the cool ocean breeze every evening that kept the house very pleasant. The kitchen has everything needed and with the local grocery store only five minutes away we were able to prepare most meals there. The location is amazing and the best part. Practically right on the beach in a quiet area. We spent many many hours playing in the sand, swimming, and walking along the beach. Boogie boards, sand toys, beach chairs, and towels were provided. This property is close to many fun activities on the north shore (zip line, polynesian culture center, turtle bay, Waimea falls, and many others). Highly recommend this property and would definitely stay here again if we ever came back to Hawaii.

Nice place if you want to enjoy the beach. Each bathroom has an outside shower to wash-off the sands. Very nice property. A bit worn down due to natural elements. But, awesome in every other aspects.

Great house in a great location

Our family stayed here in November 2021. House was clean, well kept, well stocked and met our needs perfectly. The beach was perfect for our family. Our elementary aged kids enjoyed boogie boarding and playing in the sand. Location to North Shore activities was great - close enough to get where you wanted to be and far enough away from the crowds so we felt like we had our own slice of paradise. We would absolutely rent this house again.

Wonderful beach house!

More than enough room for our family of 5, even with so many things to go out and see it was hard to leave the comfort of this home. Relaxing and enjoying the beach all day is a pretty good option! Loved the ping pong table and the many bathrooms and outdoor/indoor showers. Would love to stay here again if we have the chance.

Amazing Experience

We had a wonderful time staying here. The place is amazing. You have plenty of room and the beachfront is a beautiful cove area. You are far from the hustle and bustle and will enjoy large areas of the beach alone. The closest beach neighbors were always hundreds of yards from us. Sand castle equipment, beach chairs, toys, and a large umbrella are all ready and available for an enjoyable beach experience. The house is unique with each of the three bedrooms having its own private full bathroom with a closet, and a central half bathroom for company. There are two outdoor showers connected straight into the indoor bathrooms on each side of the residence. You have up to 17 comfortable indoor chairs in the living areas, and 28 chairs counting barstools and wooden chairs, not counting the outdoor porch seating. The kitchen is very spacious and has everything you could imagine for cooking and serving. The amount of natural light will keep you from having to utilize any lights during the day. The amount of towels, beach towels, and provided linens is numerous. We have a family of five and normally battle this with the washing machine multiple times a day, but here we could of easily went a week if desired. This residence is very well equipped. Our host Brynn was amazing. We were provided a tour and shown how everything works. She was friendly and attentive. We were provided her contact information in the event we needed help with anything. We were originally a little worried with not having AC, coming from Oklahoma. The large exterior doors with screens provide a constant breeze through the house, which kept us comfortable. Book this, you won’t be disappointed.

Great Beach House!

We love staying here, this was our second time. Jim(owner) has been easy to communicate with and the entire process has always been smooth. Brynn(caretaker) is awesome-so welcoming and attentive. The location is perfect, on the beach; not crowded like most other beaches on Oahu. Great for body boarding, body surfing, fishing, and the sandy beach is perfect for little ones. The house is stocked with body boards, grill, beach towels, kitchen amenities(toaster, toaster oven,grill utensils, pans, pots, ladles, can opener, anything you may need to cook a full meal), extra blankets, and all the basics. The house is spacious for everyone and with 4 bathrooms and 2 outdoor showers connecting tot he rooms, going from beach to the house is easy for everyone. The teens and kids loved the indoor ping pong table and had so much fun (and exercise) on the private tennis court. One thing we loved was the breeze; better than ac and fans! Inside there’s more than enough places to lounge and relax for the whole party. My little nieces had no problem watching their usual shows on the smart TV!
