Great location for large groups

We spent just over a week at Secluded Sands. There were two families, totaling 10 people and the home was perfect. Quiet neighborhood with walkable access to a secluded beach. Location provided easy access for day trips even to Honolulu.We communicated several times with the local property manager. The only issue not resolved during our stay was access to TV streaming services, but we didn’t miss those all that much.Would highly recommend for larger groups o that need some space to spread out!

This Pahipahialua Beach area was the perfect spot for our stay. The house offered a peaceful retreat, tucked far enough from the main road that it was blissfully quiet, yet still close to local conveniences like the resort, food trucks, and grocery store. It was our first visit to the North Shore, and we were thrilled with how easy it was to access excellent swimming and snorkeling spots. A highlight was having curious dolphins join us in the water. What an unforgettable experience! Our group fit comfortably in the home, with plenty of room to spread out or gather together. The house was clean, welcoming, and well-equipped for cooking meals at home. Big thanks to our hosts for providing a smooth experience start to finish.

Perfect for us

Bria was very responsive with any questions we had. She also let us know that someone would be coming to fix the gate, very professional. House fit my entire family of 11 (including myself). Great location, close to many beaches and very quiet area. Other than that worth the money spent and will book again if we come back in the future.

Spectacular home!!

This place was amazing. Its in the north shore so it's far from the busy beaches that are around Oahu. The house is located minutes away from a secluded beach. She provides paddle boards, beach towels, floaties, and wagons to haul it to and from. If you're a foodie then you have the world famous Giovanni's shrimp truck, The Bald Guys, and Kalbi on fire are really close by. The house has a private driveway gate so your cars are secure at night. This place is as advertised. She really goes out of her way to make sure you have a great time. Would definitely recommend this place.

Amazing!

Our group of 6 adults and 6 small children had the most amazing week here! We loved how easily we could access other parts of the island from this location. The house was set up perfectly for our group. Being so close to the food trucks was amazing. The communication with the host was excellent. This was our first time to Hawaii for many in our group, and the accommodations were exactly what we needed. We will be back!

Amazing Place. As a group of golf enthusiasts, it was a privilege to watch golfers every morning while eating breakfast. Also the coffee maker was the best I've ever used and I plan to buy the same one for my home. If I have another opportunity to stay in Oahu, I will not hesitate to stay again.

Beautiful beach house, just steps from the beach. Clean, well organized, easy access, awesome views, and great hosts with local knowledge of a variety of things to do during your stay. Close to many nice beaches, restaurants/food trucks, hikes, snorkeling, paddle boarding, zipline adventure, horseback riding, golf, etc. Polynesian Cultural Center is nearby as well. We filled our time with activities that were all within just 20 minutes of this prime location.

It was amazing. So much room. Great layout. Lots of items such as beach towels, beach toys, loved the outdoor shower. It was a beautiful house. So glad we were able to celebrate a 40th anniversary, 2 high school graduations a 5th birthday, a 17th birthday a 18th birthday and a 60th birthday. It was a great location and the kids loved the beach.

The property had many accessories and made for a comfortable stay for the family. Barring some appliances that were not working, it was enjoyable. On site support staff came to try to remedy the situation. If your family will stay at the house, it will be a wonderful vacation spot. Subscription services are included on the tv. My family wanted to fish so it was a little aways from the beach; needed to walk carrying our fishing gear. Wish beach was closer. Couldn't cross the golf course which is in front of the house. All in all a fun weekend getaway.

Family and Friends Getaway

The house was marvelous with all its amenities and closeness to the beach. The host was attentive, courteous and very responsive. Some minor maintenance is needed from towel racks missing or loose to window curtain hooks being loose. A minor inconvenience with the downstairs plumbing however the host was able to rectify the maintenance needed and in the same day. The family would definitely recommend this place to others for vacation.

We'll be back!

This was a thoroughly enjoyable stay for me and our family. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants a pretty, quiet, lovely and generously appointed house in a peaceful area. Away from the tourist hordes and next to several gorgeous beaches, it's uniquely situated where you can get the best of either the East Coast or the West Coast weather. Great communication by our host helped as well, thorough local information was provided and we wanted for nothing. We'll be back Kahuku! 😁🤙

This was a positive experience for our entire group!

This was our first time staying in a place that wasn't a traditional hotel. We were nervous, especially as we haven't been to Hawaii before. Thankfully everything went smoothly. The host was professional and responded quickly. Dare I say this was actually a better experience than a hotel! I'm sold on traveling this way in the future. Our accommodations were so sparkly clean! Loved the location. Perfect beach house for adults and children alike!

This house is incomparable!

This home far exceeded our expectations. It’s in a private, safe neighborhood. The owners have taken extra care to make sure you feel safe by providing locked gates and security around the home. The cleanliness was excellent.. communication with Bria was efficient and easy as well. There was alot of space for our kids- they even had fun toys for them- extra bonus! This house by far has the best amenities of any home we’ve rented- plenty of dishes for cooking and eating, extra blankets, 2 washers and dryers. Everything was also conveniently labeled, which we found very helpful. Tons of beach toys, towels and chairs in the garage for renter use. We are absolutely planning to stay here again!

Poor communication with “caretaker”

We were locked of our unit upon arrival and our multiple attempts to contact our “caretaker” were ignored. We were left on our own for two hours with Zabrina trying to help us from California. The care we did not receive negated the beauty of our surroundings. We still have not received any correspondence from you other an automatic email stating we would be fined if we didn’t take the garbage out today ( two days after our rental ended and we checked out). We would appreciate acknowledgement of our poor treatment. We left the unit spotless but we were put in an unsafe situation with literally no other options for accommodations other than sleeping in our car. The hotels and rental units on the north shore were all booked. We would be happy to let you know how we finally gained entrance if you want to discuss this with us. Any contact with you at Hostably/VRBO would be appreciated. We have rented through VRBO for many years and have never been treated like this and have never left a negative review.

Fabulous House in a Fabulous Location

We (10 extended family members) stayed here the last week of March. Perfect layout: upstairs there are three bedrooms (K, Q, bunks). Downstairs there are two bedrooms (Q, 3 twins) plus the couch. The kitchen and living room were bigger than expected from the pictures. The table easily fit ten. There was plenty of space on the balcony and the kids played in the large yard. The house is very well equipped, more so than most rentals. We had everything we needed in the kitchen including containers for leftovers, food wrap, food basics and many appliances. There are two washers and dryers which are modern and worked well. The house has a ton of outdoor equipment. Among other things, there are wagons, lots of boogie boards, two paddle boards, chairs, snorkel gear, sand toys and a lot of beach towels. Everything was extremely clean and in good repair. Between the AC and opening windows, we had no issues with the heat. The location is great. The house is in a very quiet residential neighborhood. All we heard was the ocean and the birds. It felt very safe. It took about an hour from the airport (in the evening - no traffic). It’s about a 6 minute drive to the closest grocery store or a ten minute walk to a large convenience store. The food truck/shops (great place to eat!) are about a 15 minute walk. The Polynesian Cultural Center is a ten minute drive. The local beach (always empty) was about a five minute walk down the street, then a couple of minutes through the treed path. While we were there we found the water too rough to go in but enjoyed walking, the crabs, watching the sun rise and even saw sea turtles. We also walked to the campground beach (15 minutes) which was better for swimming and boogie boarding. We swam at Kawela Bay (10 min drive, pretty, no waves) and Kahana Bay (about 20 min drive) which was our favourite boogie boarding spot as it is shallow a long way out. There were lots of beach options on the north shore but parking was challenging. Snorkelling was great at Shark’s Cove (watch for sharp rocks - 20 min from the house but traffic varied a lot along the north shore). We walked to the local church (very welcoming, 5 minutes) and Climbworks zip lines (12 min - highly recommend!). We also did the Nutridge Luau (fabulous) which was about an hour and twenty min drive. We had a fabulous week and would definitely stay here again. Bria was very quick to respond to all questions.

Private, Comfortable, and Ideal for Families

The house was perfect for our large family group with plenty of space to spread out, and the setup made it super easy to stay comfortable. The beach is just a short walk and felt practically private every time we went. The house had everything we needed and more. AC in every room (huge plus), fully stocked kitchen, comfy beds, and tons of beach gear that we actually used. The baby gear was also a lifesaver since we were traveling with a toddler. Location-wise, it doesn’t get much better. Easy drive to Turtle Bay, PCC, Haleiwa, and some great food spots. But honestly, we loved just hanging out at the property or walking to the beach most days. Check-in was smooth with the smart lock, and having on-site parking made coming and going stress-free. The host caretaker was easy to communicate with. All around, this really felt like an island home away from home. We'd come back in a heartbeat.

Excellent accommodations

The house is very well cared for. We had a group of 8 that came to Oahu for UH graduation. The space was perfect for our group. All amenities and aspects of the house are in good working order. The location has great access to a secluded portion of the North Shore beach within a short walking distance. Highly recommended.

What makes this property unique

Pursuant to local laws, this property hosts one rental party per thirty-day period. Your rental term is thirty days regardless of your actual length of stay (you don't have to stay all 30 days).

Dates described as "Check in", "Check out", "Arrival", "Departure" or similar terms anywhere on this site or in any communications, indicate dates of occupancy, not an advertised rental term. If your dates fall within a thirty-day term already claimed by another rental party, the host will not be able to rent this property and will notify you as such. The host determines your thirty-day rental term based on your requested dates, or you may specify a thirty-day rental term preference in your booking request.
