4150 sq' PRIVATE - NO NEIGHBORS - Whale Watchers Dream - No Traffic Noise!

I had a fantastic time here. The home is beautiful and I found the other reviews to be helpful and accurate. George was especially responsive and thoughtful--he knew I was traveling with a small child and had set up the pack 'n play before we even arrived. It was a huge relief after a long day of travel.

What a wonderful location. Overlooking the north shore, but still close enough to let the sounds of the surf lull you to sleep at night. The top floor master suite is to die for. Large enough for a family campout. Each of the 3 bedrooms has its own shower making the house great for family sharing. An ingenious system of sliding screens and doors lets you open the entire corner of the house fronting the pool. Other than bedrooms, the downstairs has an open floor plan that encouraged family interaction and made our visit special. The kitchen lacks for nothing. Despite being only a block away from the Kam Highway, daytime traffic noise was minimal and nighttime traffic noise was non-existent. The location is an easy walk to the beach and a short drive into Hale'iwa Town.

I should mention that this house has no air--conditioning. In my mind, none could be rationally wanted. Even with the sun coming directly at you during the afternoon, it was easy to stay cool by keeping the house open and taking a dip in the pool. The only time the house got hot was when it was closed up before our arrival. Since this house is at the end of a street, we had no issue with leaving the house open during our entire stay.

One other thing worth mentioning is the steep driveway. We were visiting my son on the island and he loaned us his Fiat 500. Getting up the driveway in that car required a running start. My brothers had no problems with their more powerful rental cars. The garage is usable and kept 2 cars shaded during the day. Nice bonus. If you have more than 2 cars - as we did - there is adequate street parking. The only downside to being on the hill is that this house may not be suitable for someone in a wheelchair. The garage is in the basement and getting into the house requires climbing stairs.

The internet worked flawlessly during our stay. We never turned on a TV. The refrigerator is blessed with a fast ice maker. Filling our large cooler for day trips never ran us out of ice. Dishes and utensils were more than adequate for our 6 people. Plenty of towels too.

The house has a washer & dryer. For some reason, the dryer vent hose disconnected itself whenever running. After we realized this, we let towels air dry in the sun to avoid heating up the house. This was so minor I neglected to report it.

In summary, we found the house so pleasant we often didn't want to leave.

My family just experienced one of the most chill and relaxing Hawaiian vacations we’ve ever had thanks to this fantastic house! One of the best features was the pool that is literally 10 feet in front of the family room sofas overlooking the ocean and mountain vistas. Our kids spent so much time in the pool because of its accessibility. The other favorite feature was that the whole front and side wall of the house opens up thanks to enormous sliding doors. The bedrooms are huge and each has its own bathroom.

The caretaker George was such a sweet and helpful guy, I was texting him questions before we even arrived and he helped me at every corner. Mahalo George for everything!

A very cool old town is near by, Haleiwa. We had amazing Açaí bowls at Haleiwa Bowls, a special and delicious 40th birthday dinner for myself at the Haleiwa Beach House, great coffee and lunch at Vintage Coffee, colorful and yummy shave ice at Matsumoto Shave Ice, and we of course hit the shrimp trucks about 20 minutes north for fresh garlic shrimp. There are also lots of cute local shops to check out in Haleiwa.

We spent a lot of time at the beach Three Tables next to Sharks Cove. Great protected beach for kids and amazing snorkeling just yards from the beach.

We spent the last two nights at Aulani, the Disney Resort which was fun but the best part of our trip was staying in this house.

Our family had a fantastic week staying here. The views were exceptional and the location was awesome; the home is far enough away from the road that traffic noise is not an issue. Both Michael (property owner) and George (host extraordinaire) were very professional and responsive. George checked in with us frequently during our stay to ensure everything was acceptable (which it was!) The only thing that would have made the stay absolutely perfect was if there was a/c (at least in the main floor bedrooms) because temperatures were unseasonably hot (90+ degrees) during our stay. That being said, we wouldn’t hesitate to book the home again because everything else was wonderful! Thanks, Michael and George, for making our trip to the north shore so fantastic!

We loved our time here! The house exceeded my expectations in both spaciousness and the panoramic ocean view. We loved leaving the sliding glass doors open, even if that did mean lizards/bugs were able to enter as well- the open air feeling was amazing! The only downside of this home for some may be the steep driveway. The driveway was a little intimidating for my mom (she drove), however when both my cousins stopped by to visit, the driveway was no big deal to either of them. We also spent some time at a resort on the Big Island and though that was really nice, I enjoyed my time here more since at this house we had a full kitchen and washer/dryer and so much space (and for less than what we paid to stay in the resort). George, the concierge, was very nice and responded quickly anytime I would text with a question. I would recommend this home to others!
