Overall positive experience

Overall positive experience, but wouldn't stay here again. The property is good, has some quirks, but very spacious, great location on the North Shore. We stayed here for one month in December of 2024.The main issues we had were regarding a mold/mildew smell we detected soon upon arriving. We asked the host to fix, he begrudgingly cleaned what we thought was the source of the smell (AC unit in our bedroom) it did help significantly. As time went on, we continued to smell mold/mildew, emanating from one of the closets. Based on how defensive and unhelpful the host reacted the first time we asked him to fix the issue, we just put up with the smell for the remainder of our trip. Please be more willing to help when issues arise, don't make me beg, just fix it or find someone who can.

Great place to stay

This was a great place that accommodated our family perfectly. The location was perfect! Very close to everything we wanted on the north shore. The beach was literally 30 seconds away. We loved the deck! Mike was an excellent host and was super helpful from the moment we arrived until departure. This isn't a resort, so don't expect it to be. If your looking for a comfortable home with lots of room, close to the beach then this is your destination. We loved our stay!

A Great Place to Stay!

This was a perfect set up for my husband, myself, my 2 kids, and my in-laws. The two floors allowed for some privacy, but also great common spaces for everyone to hang out. The lanai was beautiful and all the fans and air conditioning units made it so comfortable. It is so close to the beach, less than a minute walk. We saw turtles and beautiful sunsets. And a warm outdoor shower to wash off the sand. Mike was great and super helpful. Would definitely stay again!

Amazing host and awesome location!!

What a fantastic stay! A walk across the street to a great beach that feels private, is fun for snorkeling, allows sunset and sunrise viewing, and has frequent turtle sightings. Mike is a tremendous host!! The house he built is so spacious and has everything you’d need and more- there are chairs, a surfboard, and boogie boards for the beach, Bluetooth speakers that rock the whole house, and a wonderful balcony with a ton of seating and great views- This was a terrific vacation and Mike’s attentive hosting and this great house were a giant part of that!

Authentic Aloha place to stay

We had a great stay at Mike’s place. His place was clean, organized and welcoming, Mike was welcoming. His laid back Hawaii style made us feel like staying at an old friend’s place. Our 3 teenage sons stayed comfortably in the boho style bottom level complete with stereo, tv, shower and kitchenette. The upper level had a full kitchen, full bath, 2 masters. And an entire outdoor covered deck. Mike had all the body-boards, snorkel gear and towels already there for us to use. The beach is easy walking distance. We will definitely be back.

Spacious and comfortable

We rented this property for 11 nights. There were 6 young women and 2 adults in our group. Having space to spread out was a top priority in our search. This property has tons of room to spread out and relax. We had room to spare! There are 3 seperate bedrooms and another large room with a double bed and a king bed. 2 livingrooms and a large beautiful deck (lanai)- my favorite spot! The nearly private beach- Stunning! The property included several extra amenities -lots of towels -beach mats -goggles -Boogie boards As someone else mentioned, there are bugs, but it's not from un-cleanliness as they implied. The house was spotless! Bathroom, kitchen, floors, appliances, even the often over looked baseboards, vents and windowsills- all very clean! You are visiting Hawaii- expect bugs. Laundry not an issue at all. Mike has several machines and was happy to get those started multiple times during our stay. He graciously made himself easily available to help with anything we might need. Even contacting us to warn us of a severe storm watch. (It passed and we had lovely weather the entire stay.) Be sure to contact Mike a few days before your visit to arrange your arrival times and other details! PS. Side note about your trip to Oahu- plan to book any special events or tours 2-3 months in advance. Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor, Polynesian Center, Kuoloa Ranch tours, Luau's, zip lines, etc sold out 2-3 months in advance. Enjoy!

Great Neighborhood off the beaten path

If you are looking for size and a quiet beach, this place might be a good choice. We are a family of 10 and we all fit in existing beds comfortably with plenty of space to spread out. Property owner is friendly and helpful, he even put out a hammock for my kiddos with swing in during our stay. The house was clean and provided a large covered patio area on the upper level. Plenty of seating for dinning for our large family. TV's in every room but they are not set up for viewing of any kind except the living room TV located upstairs. Had to log into my own accounts to watch from roku devices on other units. Beach view is very narrow, but ocean waves can be heard from unit. Walk to beach is only about 500 feet from unit and is easy to access. Parking is on site, but can be a bit tricky if you have more than one vehicle. Entry to unit requires a brief walk through ground level that is covered in rocks, doors to unit do not lock, this was not an issue at all, but something to consider. You have to walk through the yard which is covered in rock, so you must carry your luggage to the unit door. This is not a 4 or 5 star unit, but is a great place for a large family to spread out and enjoy the nearby beach.

Unbelievable Stay

This pad was unreal. I have never rented a place with a mo' bumbin' sound system. Mike, the owner, is awesome and super attentive. Footsteps from a white sand beach and a view from the wrap-around porch is to DIE for.. The place is huge and the multitude of mirrors make it massive. Perfect for large groups looking for adventure.

10 Day stay

We were a party of 12 (11 adults, 1 teenager). We stayed 10 days over Christmas and New Years. The house was adequate for our group. Be aware that the landlord literally comes with the house. Laundry requires his supervision and is outside the house. Be sure and have renters insurance. The battery went bad in one of the smoke detectors over a bed at 4 a.m. The next day we ask him to replace the battery and he refused so the next night we unhooked the detector and now he has filed a property damage claim against us. We regret that we cannot recommend the house to others.
Response from VrboOwner on Mar 25, 2020
Sorry about the washing machine. In the past, I’ve had people put the softener and soap in the wrong areas and it wrecks my washing machine, that is why I supervise it. I am sorry if you do not like that. I replaced the battery on the fire alarm but it went out again, I’m sorry about that. I did not refuse to put the battery in, I did but it died again. I did my best, I am sorry.

The house had many beds and was spacious. The hosts were very friendly and hospitable. However, both bathrooms had some issues (the layout of the downstairs toilet was strange, and the upstairs bath had a mild smell). We also encountered many bugs. Mike's friendliness made our stay enjoyable.

Awesome location, 5 minutes from Haleiwa, about 15 to Waimea Bay!

We had a large group and filled up all 5 bedrooms, it was very roomy and comfortable. We had to use some bug spray and keep the food put away, but there are a lot of bugs in Hawaii and if you come to the north shore, you know you are not staying at a resort. There is A/C in one room upstairs and one room downstairs, but during late afternoon we ran all the fans and it was warm. Be sure and wind down the shades on the east side deck to shade the house during the day. The outside showers were a lifesaver when we all got home from the beach, there are at least 2 outside showers, maybe more. The most remarkable feature of this place is that it is one house away from an almost private beach. We spent so much time at the beach right next to the house, saw turtles almost every time we snorkeled, even saw one sitting on the sand. We rented SUP's and could be out on them in 5 minutes. Several sunrise paddles and even one beach bonfire that we shared with some locals that ended around 5 am. Mike was super helpful, even printed some schoolwork for my daughter in grad school. As a huge fan of the history of this legendary surfing town, the house and everything about the north shore was magical! Don't miss - Waimea Bay Beach and Falls (luau is awesome), Clark Little gallery, Giovanni's Shrimp truck, Pupukea food truck (best Poke of your LIFE!) and of course Matsumoto's shave ice. Aloha :D

not as promised

Before booking, I spoke with host Mike. I specifically asked about stairs stating that several members of my party have mobility issues. He said it would not be an issue, just 4 small steps on main floor. Well, there are steps everywhere on main floor and the bathroom is so poorly built one sister fell on the steps coming out of shower, causing an ER visit. 4 more of us went to the ER which we blame on the musty, dirty conditions of this rental. Mike is proud that he built it but it is poorly, at best, created. Pictures show 2nd floor which did have 2 decent bedrooms and living space. The bathroom has a gargantuan bathtub that is unusable by anyone but a giant. Kitchenette counters are pieced together marble and formica with tape. So grimy, moldy coffee used filter in coffee pot, cockroaches and red ants. Not any basics in cupboards with just a sprinkle left in salt shaker. Mike did give us butter for 1st mornings' toast as we forgot to buy enroute along with groceries. Mirrors, mirrors everywhere. We felt we were being electronically monitored. Ridiculous number of mirrors and their placement made no sense. 1st floor only used for sleeping as it was dark and musty, even with windows open. Towels and linens stored downstairs and when doors opened to search for items, it fell off on my sisters' foot. Washing machine located outside but no dryer and assistance required for use. Several times when home sick in bed, we heard someone come in our rented area. This place should be condemned. Definitely the absolute worst rental we have ever had.

Great Location, Dated House

Overall we enjoyed our stay in Hawaii. Mike, the host, was very helpful and friendly. There are pro's and cons to this house. PRO'S: Location- ocean view from deck, no neighbors to the back, and just steps to a kid friendly beach. We also loved staying on the North Shore versus Honolulu. The town of Haleiwa is a fun town to play at the beach, shop, rent gear, and eat. -The house is spacious and there were plenty of sleeping places for everyone. CONS: -Only 2 bathrooms for 12 people and one of the bathrooms is a midget-sized bathroom. Also, both bathrooms smelled like urine from our arrival on. The set-up of the house is odd. -The house is dated and cluttered, although I'm sure if it was updated, the rental price would increase dramatically.
