Wonderful house, fantastic location
This is an absolutely wonderful house, with almost 180 degree ocean views from the deck. Perfect for families.
Response from VrboOwner on Jan 2, 2021
M--Thanks so much for your kind words. It's true; the deck is where we spend most of our time whenever we get the chance to stay at our house(which is definitely not enough!). Hope to see you back again soon. A hui hou...
We enjoyed this beautiful home in the North Shore of Hawaii. The views from the covered porch were dramatic and extraordinary. We could whale watch from the porch!!!!! The ocean and waves and the mountain were incredible to watch. We went on many day trips and excursions and always enjoyed coming back to watch the sunset and night sky

Aloha E, We are so glad you guys had a peaceful, happy time with us. We really hope you'll come back again soon! Mahalo nui loa
I can't say enough about our stay here. The amazing sunsets - varied every night. The North Shore things to do - always in no rush. The background sound of the crashing waves - so relaxing. The first leg of the World Surfing Championships a 20 minute walk to the Banzai Pipline. And yes, the chickens everywhere and the calls of the roosters. The most relaxing vacation I've ever had.

Amazing view from your private deck
This was our second stay with Tropical Waters. The house is nice and clean with open living space and ample enough for 2 small families to share. The view from the deck is AMAZING and we had most of our meals outside. The grounds are wonderful with a grass lawn and its own private access to a sand beach. The beach feels private and gets only a little busy on the weekends. We love Tropical Waters, and the North Shore. I'm certain we will be back again!!!

Paradise!
We had a wonderful stay at the Hibiscus House. Everything either met, or exceeded our expectations. We already can't wait to go back, and would love to do it all over again. On one side of the shore we could fish along the rocks and coral, and the other side was the pristine beach. The lanai made for beautiful sunset pictures. They even had a blender for our tall umbrella drinks. We chartered "the Seeker" out of Haleiwa, just minutes away, and dined on fresh Ahi, and Mahi the rest of the week. The gas grill was in great condition and kept us from having a lot of cleanup after each meal. Nice Tommy Bahama beach chairs were available, and they had the shoulder straps so you could wear them like a backpack to and from the beach. Everything was first class. Thanks for everything Malia. We made memories that will last our family a lifetime.

Facilities great but management response lacking
The house & property were exactly as described. Thoughtful extras - boogie boards, water shoes, snorkeling equipment, beach chairs, etc were so nice to have. However, we had several small issues which were not addressed except for delayed (2 days in one case) responses that were basically “I’m sorry” but nothing else. We even had to purchase several items for the house - which both Cindy & the owner should have been there with no offer for reimbursement.
Bottom line - if all goes well, it’ll be a memorable stay but don’t expect exceptional service from property manager.

Response from VrboOwner on Jan 2, 2021
I am very sorry you did not have the greatest experience. This stay was during the week the big hurricane was supposed to hit us and power was going on and off (which is what the guests had emailed about). I responded as soon as I got the email and called the power company the minute you called me. But before a big storm, everything is a bit - off kilter. I am very sorry for that. As for the issue of paper towels and ziploc bags that ran out, I am sorry about that, too. We place a set amount in the houses but guests usually purchase their own after small things like that run out. Towels, shampoo, body wash, detergent, boogie boards, paddle boards, bikes are all supplied - no question.
Thanks for your comments. We will try to do better!

Liked: Check-in, communication
Older home, needs updates, but great views
We stayed on the property for 30 days in July and August, 2024. We had teenagers through senior citizens, one of which had knee replacement surgery earlier this year. The photos of the property did not accurately portray the number of stairs. There were 20 stairs up the front of the house, 10 up the back, and 10 down to the beach. It would have been nice to see all these stairs so that we could have made an informed decision on whether or not to book this house.
Other than the stairs, there was a lot to like, and a lot to dislike.
Positives:
-Great location. It’s right by Shark’s Cove, and if you are able, it’s a short walk. There is a grocery store near by as well, though they are very expensive and it’s worth a trip to Target or Walmart to save a lot of money.
-The views. You really can’t beat the beach views. We saw plenty of dolphins, beautiful sunsets, and lots of people watching!
-The team was very responsive. We ran out of propane and we got a replacement within a couple of days. When the power went out, we called, and were able to talk to someone right away. (The power came back on within the hour.)
-There is an outside shower that we used a lot! It comes in handy when you’re covered in sand.
Negatives:
-There is so much traffic. Not so much an issue with the house, but be aware that depending on the time of day and direction you are heading, a “quick” trip can take over an hour.
-The alley is a narrow one lane road. It is not a one way road which means you wil

Spectacular View!
This home is just as advertised. I searched through many houses, in many different locations, so I was nervous about my choice. However, any concern was gone when we arrived! The beachfront location is beautiful and the many windows and doors across the back of the house allow for great views from both inside and out, and also allow for a wonderful breeze through the house. We witnessed amazing sunsets in the evenings and whales right off of the deck many mornings. It doesn't get any better than that! The house was clean and maintained very well. The gated location is nice and the house sits back off of the road a bit. Foodland and Starbucks are within walking distance, as well as Sharks Cove and several great beaches. The beach that the house sits on Ke Iki, is also very nice and very clean. From the pictures online, I was slightly concerned about the large mass of black rock behind the house, but it was not a hinderance at all and was actually very cool to look at! We had family pictures and renewed our vows right on the beach behind the house, so it was very special to us! The location on the North Shore is nice if you want to be out of the hustle and bustle of Waikiki and Honolulu. However, you will be spending a lot of time in the car if you want to go back and forth for activities between the North Shore and Honolulu. A large stretch of the road is only two lane, and traffic is always backed up and stopped. So, you should plan once you are on the North Shore, to stay on the North Shore. Haleiwa is a nice little town with a few nice restaurants and many local shops. It is a 15+ minute drive from the house (depending on traffic). The owners/rental company were very helpful and dealt with the few issues that we had while at the house. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone who wants a beautiful location away from the big city. It would also be nice for large family/friend gatherings to rent this house along with the other 2 properties (Mako Hale and Honu Hale). They are all 3 within the gate and very close to each other (no worries if you are not with family and friends--there is very thick vegetation between the 3 houses which allow for adequate privacy). A great find!!

PLEASE NOTE: The other two properties Juli mentions--Honu Hale and Mako Hale--have had their names changed to Plumeria House and Ginger House, respectively.
This home has everything you need to have a successful stay and is well cared for. The location is impressive, each day we saw dolphins from the deck and the snorkeling was fun as well. Other days there were crashing waves so it was bell balanced for everyone. We stayed for a month with our two teenage sons. Plenty or space for privacy and hanging together. Strongly recommend this home.
The house we rented was awesome with a spectacular view of the ocean and beach! Located conveniently to everything one might need and easy to access other parts of the island. Highly recommend for a super getaway!
Nice location. Comfortable home. Easy grab and go beach gear.
Some things that could use an upgrade include the bikes and kitchen items such as skillets and additional glassware was needed.
This house was wonderful! The property is one that faces the beach/ocean directly. You have private, stair access right to the beach-shared only with the other houses in the street. You can enjoy your morning coffee and evening sunset staring at the water. Incredibly helpful is the fact that under the house there are beach chairs, snorkel gear, boogie boards, and more! All you need to stay at the beach-shared even provides a cooler to take to the beach. The house is very pretty and the location is simply amazing!
We had a wonderful time in Oahu staying in this great home. The location is perfect, the beach is beautiful and not crowded. We loved everything about our trip and this home. Cindy was great from the time of booking until checkout. We had no hiccups or issues with the home during our stay. We would definitely stay here again!

Feels like home!
My family stayed here for spring break and enjoyed it so much. It was nice to be far away from crowded, tourist-filled Waikiki, The house location is perfect. It is set back from the main road, so it is very quiet and private. We could walk to the grocery store, food trucks, and beaches. The house had a beautiful view of the ocean. We could sit on the back deck and watch the waves crash on the shore and see the sunset each evening. We could also see whales off in the distance. I recommend bringing binoculars. The house was very comfortable and had everything we needed. I can't think of anything I would change, except I wish we could have stayed more than a week. We would definitely stay here again. Cindy was very easy to work with, and everything went smoothly.

Well thought out vacation rental - easy to keep clean - very responsive owner/manager
This rental exceeded our expectations and most importantly the management responded quickly to minor issues that developed. They even trimmed/removed a tree that under certain wind conditions would bang against the house roof and make a racket. Early in our stay the living room furniture was replaced with very comfortable chairs and a new sofa. The condition of the house was very good to excellent. I would not hesitate to strongly recommend this house to anyone who wants to visit the North Shore of Ohau

Wonderful place to stay on North Shore!
Our family LOVED staying at Cindy's home on North Shore. The location was incredible. Walking just steps to the beach, seeing whales off the deck and enjoying rainbows and sunsets from the deck was truly amazing. The home was just steps to Shark's Cove, which was a family favorite. A daily walk to the market for Poke was a highlight for lunch. The accommodations were wonderful and the beach equipment available for guests was very well thought out and appreciated. The kitchen is well stocked also. Beds were very comfortable. The family room furniture was a bit uncomfortable, but everything else was great! Cindy was very nice and easy to work with. We are all hoping to stay there again in the future and would highly recommend this property to everyone. Thank you for a wonderful lifelong memory for our family.

PERFECT for a family vacation to the North Shore!
Cindy's home was nothing short of amazing! We had the most spectacular family vacation because of how intimate, accommodating, and beautiful the space is! We were a group of 3 couples and a 1 year old and never felt cramped. The kitchen had everything you need to make a big family dinner. We enjoyed the easy beach access and the bikes! Just a 5 min bike ride to local food trucks, foodland, and snorkeling at sharks cove! Sunsets are gorgeous from the patio and we stargazed at night in the lawn! Cindy was super responsive when I reached out with questions! We will for sure be back! Thanks Cindy!

This is an awesome home with a great view and great layout for multiple people.
This home is comfortable with a great location. We spent most of our time on the lani which has an awesome view of the ocean and accessibility to the beach. Very quiet and peaceful. The layout of the house was perfect as the large windows give you a view whether you were inside or out.
It is within walking distance to stores, food trucks and beaches and, most importantly, Sharks cove. We would recommend this place to anyone staying on the North Shore.

Excellent North Shore location
We stayed 5 days in North Shore and couldn't be happier in the location and house. The ACs worked great and the grill had extra propane so we didn't run out. The views and sunsets are amazing. Sharks Cove, food trucks and groceries are just a short walk away. We did end up buying our on snorkeling equipment, which was fine since we used them so much on Oahu and Maui. The ones available were either broken or didn't fit. There were also bikes and paddle boards available, which is awesome. We all felt it was an overall great value and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to friends and family. And not to forget, the Tao Luau is a mile away and the most personal and interesting one I've been to. And the setting is in the beautiful Waimea Bay Park.

Best place to stay on the North Shore
Ok no place is perfect but this was close, especially for the price! I read a previous review that was negative, there are things you can’t control, it’s Hawaii so the traffic can be bad at times. And the knifes weren’t the sharpest (but they had a sharpener that fixed that) the Fridge worked perfectly if you shut the door (my kids are use to our fridge that shuts Easily) and no “toilet” problems, some people like to find the negative and focus on it. Let me do the opposite. We had an air conditioned (which is needed don’t let anyone say otherwise) Home on the beach that is NOT crowded. a 4 minute walk from amazing snorkeling (go in the morning you will Have shark cove to yourself) we saw rays, turtles, and all kinds of amazing fish, less then thirty minutes from the PCC and zip lines one direction and then 10 from scuba and surf lessons, the other way. A hike to a waterfall you can swim in, 7 min away. A chocolate pie that is amazing with a Hawaiian bbq chicken sandwich you have to try at teds 5 min away. Sunsets that should Be on a postcard. Quite, peaceful, Great beds tons of space even with 6 people. Fast WiFi tons of beach stuff to use (snorkels mask water shoes boogie boards surf boards and bikes). When we come back we will stay here again!
