Oceanfront Beach House - Tropical Paradise!

We rented units A and G and had our family of 10 staying for the week. Property had everything we needed. The view is breathtaking and we would stay again.

This listing does not even begin to do this location justice. View from the lanai is just stunning. One of the best parts of each day is sipping coffee and watching the sun rise and then watching the sun set with a cold glass of wine. Just to the right of the house is Chun's Reef, a surfing hot spot. You can watch surfers and paddle boarders from dawn to dusk.

As several reviewers have said, this is a turtle mecca! Climb down the rocks behind the house and walk to the left and you will find a small cove just crawling with sea turtles (for those who don't know - Hawaii has very strict laws regarding their turtles - you must remain 6+ feet away from them. Be respectful of these giant beautiful creatures!)

Chun's Reef is an excellent swimming beach, just a 2 houses away. You can see the pristine sandy beach in the pictures.

Met several of the neighbors during our week here and they were all really nice.

Now for the house. Super clean. Our upstairs neighbors left a few days before we did and we saw the housekeeper carrying a load of bedspreads downstairs to the laundry for cleaning. The biggest "ick" factor for most travelers are the bedspreads, but it appears this place actually washes them along with the sheets between each tenant. Big PLUS. Master bedroom gets tons of air circulation and the smaller rooms are pretty breezy. Portable fans are provided for those needing extra breeze. 2 charcoal grills are provided (burgers and hot dogs just taste so much better when grilled in Hawaii while looking at the ocean) and kitchen is well stocked.

Now for the sites. Waimea Falls Park is close by - beautiful flora and fauna and swimming is allowed at the waterfall, providing conditions are safe for swimming - call ahead to make sure. It's a little humid in the valley so the addition of the golf cart a few years ago is a huge plus. They also have a farmer's market on Thurs afternoon. Veggies, fruits, jellies, soaps, etc. Bring cash as all vendors do not accept cards. Shark's Cove has excellent snorkeling with lots and lots of fish. Invest in an underwater digital camera and a pair of reef walkers. Great places for snorkling: Laniakea Beach (just a few houses from here), Sharks Cove and Turtle Bay Beach.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about this property! It was the prefect vacation for our family. It was the prefect setting for our family, enough room, the beach at the backyard, turtles down the beach, close to everything and anything we wanted to do. Thank you so much for a memorable time!

We stayed here with my family and a couple of our friends. The view is amazing and I loved falling asleep to the waves crashing on the beach. The unit is clean and amenities are more than sufficient. We had a BBQ and got to see honu (sea turtles) just a few yards from our porch. There is a turtle beach down the road packed with other tourists trying to see one, but we had 5 at one time that we got to see sleeping on the beach. There were also several swimming in the ocean too. It's also not to far from a grocery store and the main part of North Shore. We are planning on going back sometime this year hopefully and will continue to keep coming back to this unit. It truly feels like our home away from home.

We stayed in the unit for 6 nights. We LOVED this rental. With the open floorplan, there was a spectacular view from the kitchen, dining room, living room, lanai, and master bedroom. The place is very spacious and family friendly, not fancy, but very tastefully done, clean, and comfortable. It's a perfect location for all kinds of north shore activities, many within walking distance or a short drive away. The gated entrance and ample parking were a plus... the outdoor shower was great for keeping the sand outside.

There are surfers and kitesurfers on the beach nearby all day long, turtles come up on the rocks right out front every day. The beach just to the west is a gathering place for 20some hanu, and naturalists were there to log their activities and had very interesting information about each one.

We found the best snorkeling to be at Three Tables Beach, across from the Foodland, and it also had a nice beach for swimming.

The owner was very attentive to ensuring that everything was to our liking. This place exceeded our expectations and I would absolutely recommend it. Mahalo.
