We will always have a clean and well-kept home for you, but please be advised that little visitors (insects) are not uncommon, especially if you attract them with unattended food.

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!

Spacious, peaceful, and ideally located near Turtle Bay and Kawela Bay

We absolutely loved our stay at Secluded Sands. The home was spotless, organized, and ready for us the moment we arrived. It was perfect with two separate living areas that made it easy for everyone to relax and spread out after a day in the sun. The private beach access was a major highlight. After following the simple directions in the guest guide, it was just a quick and easy walk to a quiet, uncrowded stretch of sand that felt like our own slice of paradise. Beach gear was fully stocked and ready to go. Location-wise, it doesn’t get much better. The house is right by Turtle Bay and Kawela Bay, which gave us easy access to calm snorkeling spots, scenic trails, and more gorgeous coastline. Turtle Bay parking was free, surprisingly, for our day of snorkeling in Kuilima Cove. And the nearby food trucks were a hit. Tons of variety and super convenient with plentiful options when we didn’t feel like cooking. I would definitely recommend this home and if we ever go back to Hawaii we would stay here again.

Cool spot! Close to lots of stuff

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. It’s a great location if you want to be close to the school and to the food trucks in Kahuku. We also enjoyed time driving to various beaches. The beach near this place was fine, but almost more enjoyable to drive to other beaches, then walk to this one about the same time.

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.

Excellent stay

Our extended family had a wonderful experience at this property. The fully equipped kitchen and proximity to grocery stores made self catering easy, which with 6 children ranging in age from 4 months to 18 years in our group was a fantastic option. The 5 bedrooms and multiple living areas means that there is plenty of bedding configuration options and breakout spaces. This property allows excellent access to North Shore beaches and Tourist destinations and was a great opportunity to see a different side to Hawaii. Communication was excellent from the hosts and they were very responsive to questions or issues as they arose.

Nice for our big group!

Place was amazing and big enough for all 14 of us. Our favorite beaches were very close so travel to and from was very easy and fast which was great because we had two babies with us that needed to go back for naps during the day. Host was great and very responsive and proactive at communicating making our experience even better. The house had everything we needed for cooking and for the beach which was awesome because we didn't have to pack anything bulky like Beach towels in our luggage from home. Locals around the house and in Kahuku were super nice and friendly. Would definitely stay here again if I was traveling with a medium or big sized group.

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.
