Sunset Beach - Spectacular Private White Sandy Beach Frontage

The Sunset Beach house lived up to expectations and more. From the moment we stepped into the house, we were stunned with the view, the instant beach access, and the wonderful home accommodations. It was spotless and will stay mostly like that if you follow the no shoes in the house policy. Whether you are a swimmer, surfer, or just there to appreciate the beach, it fits all the needs. Our stay was early summer with short to no surf, though we still had a nice break directly in front of the home. Snorkeling out front allowed us to see many fish and even honu (sea turtles). Accommodations were excellent, as stated previously. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen was complete in the front house and more than enough in the back house. Plenty of beach towels were provided. Bathrooms were very clean and functional. Private, gated parking, which is important on Oahu. We stayed as a family of 5 and were more than comfortable between the 2 houses.

Grocery store is 5 min drive away and several local food trucks and restaurants 5-10 min away. If having the beach in front of the house is not enough, you have a 5-15 min drive to several other North Shore beaches like Shark's Cove, Waimea Bay, Chun's Reef, and Lanikea (where you will find all of the Honu). The property manager lives just behind the house and is welcoming and informative.

As far as negatives, there was a bit of a bug problem in the back house, but the home owner responded to our complaint within a day and had the whole property sprayed. The beach in front of the house is eroding, but does not take away from the experience. You just have a few extra uphill steps to take to get back to the door.

Neither of these problems would prevent me or my family from renting again. The North Shore is the place to be on Oahu and this house is the best place to stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The house was well equipped. Ocean in this location is a bit rough, even in May, so we went up the street for ocean play.

We had a wonderful time at this Sunset Beach house. It is right on the beach, with great sunset views and the constant sound of surf. The waves were pretty rough right in front of the house (we were there the first week of April) but calmer waters are within walking distance. There is a convenient outdoor shower as well as a hose to rinse off sandy feet and flip flops. The 2 bedroom house and 2 bedroom guesthouse was perfect for our group of 6 adults and 2 children. The kitchen was pretty well equipped, which was nice as we cooked and ate most meals there. The stove was a little tricky--the temperature markings have worn off the burner controls, so that was a bit of a guessing game. The oven and microwave were fine, however, and we didn't have any real trouble preparing meals. There were a couple of hot, humid days and there is no air conditioning, but ceiling fans and box fans kept us pretty comfortable. The kitchen did get quite warm, especially when we used the stove and dishwasher--an exhaust fan or even a ceiling fan in the kitchen would help a lot. Previous renters had left some canned food, spices, dishwashing detergent, etc., so take a look at what is available before buying everything at Foodland (only a couple of miles away). Plenty of towels were available. Not much in the way of games or beach toys/equipment, but there were some boogie boards and a few sand toys and we brought our own Yahtzee and other games. We've rented quite a few places from VRBO and this was one of the nicest. However, it is the only one that did not supply soap or body wash for the showers, which was surprising. All in all, we had a wonderful time and even saw some whales from the lanai. We would definitely rent this property again.

Great location right on the beach and plenty of accommodation for a group of 7. Lovely relaxing holiday.

William was very easy to deal with

On behalf of my family, I want to thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us! This trip was symbolic for a year of changes for our family and we loved celebrating every second of it! The house was clean and well kept. We enjoyed cooking in the beautiful kitchen and eating meals next to the ocean! The sunsets were AMAZING, truly breathtaking. The location was right in the center of everything for us. We snorkeled, visited different beaches every day, had coffee at the Sunrise Shack, and ate delicious food all around the island. The young people all enjoyed having their own space in the guest house equipped with their own kitchen and the adults loved listening to the ocean as we slept! Thank you for making our stay in beautiful Hawaii incredible!
