This home is so cute and perfect for a week stay with friends. About an hour drive from Honolulu airport but located near north shore and Waimea Bay. Local walking paths, fruit stands, shrimp trucks and fun beaches nearby. Beach in front of house is rocky but a sandy beach is about a 3-5 minute drive down the road. Limited amenities for inside home (no shampoo/no laundry detergent). Plenty of towels for everyone and has AC! The master bathroom is chefs kiss Back patio is where everyone is going to want to be except being bug spray because there were mosquitos.

Trip of a lifetime!!! Mahalo!!

We LOVED our cottage! It was absolutely everything we hoped. Big house, beautiful grounds, awesome kitchen and lanai!! Every bedroom was super spacious with AC!! Slept sooo good! We saw spear fishermen, a seal that came to shore literally on the beach behind our yard, night fishermen, tide pools. We are already planning our next trip to rent out ALL four of the cottages with more friends and family. You can’t do better if you want North Shore laid back Hawai’i vibes. Thank you for an amazing trip!!

Fantastic Stay!!

The house and location was perfect for our family’s week long visit! We had 2 seniors, 2 adults and 3 kids. We enjoyed the tide pools on the beach and even got to experience high tide coming in! If you’re looking for a great place to land and spend time relaxing, look no further! Super convenient location to all the tourist stops on the north shore and grocery stores and food trucks! Would love to come again in the coming years!

Another amazing family trip!

Our large family had an absolutely fabulous time! This is our second stay in this group of homes and there is no place better on the North Shore. The views are immaculate! We saw whales and turtles from the lanai. And the neighborhood chickens and cats are pretty awesome too! We will always come back to this spot!!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was perfect for our trip. Plenty of room, clean and well-stocked. The provided beach towels and boards, umbrella, floats, etc. were great. One of the beach chairs was broken, but there was another one. The shore at this location is rocky but beautiful. No swimming here but tide pools to explore and great beaches within a few minute drive. The yard was great for playing, the trees were beautiful, and the view can't be beat -- especially sunsets. Quick drive to food trucks and grocery store. Would definitely stay here again. We hated to leave.

Amazing Views

This property was absolutely perfect for my family of 8. The house was clean and well stocked. The sleeping arrangements worked out well with two kids, grandparents, parents, and auntie. The best part of the house are the stunning views. The house was close to a swimming and boogie boarding beach. We also loved the distance to the fruit and shave ice stand. The house is close to grocery stores, bakeries, and restaurants. We would rent this house again. Thank you for the amazing vacation!

Cool spot

This house is right on a very accessible beach with a nice grassy area in the back. Lots of places to relax and lounge and enough space for everyone! We also love there are a few houses close together if you’re going in a big group or family. It was nearby most of the food, beaches and excursions we wanted to hit so that was great!

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
not great. We tried really hard to focus on the couple things we did like about this property, the location & quiet beach access. The rest of it was subpar and cheap especially for the price. We always stay in VRBOs or the like because we prefer to buy fresh whole foods and prepare our own meals. This was the poorest quality kitchen we’ve dealt with to date. We had to buy several kitchen items to make due- a sharp knife, meat thermometer, a chimney for the briquette BBQ. This is the first rental we’ve ever had to buy TP, paper towels, laundry soap. The dishwasher is worthless. toaster works just barely, & very intermittently. fridge/freezer went out several times & spoiled much of our costco grocery haul. no wifi except for briefly one single evening of our 7 night stay. cheapest china junk throughout kitchen. Home alarm censor over one slider failed during our stay. washer reeked of mildew on arrival. I had to do a hot empty cycle with bleach and a second hot cycle w/baking soda to try to decrease the smell so our clothes didn’t get ruined. It still stunk up the whole house. there wasn’t even a dustpan & broom inside to keep up on floors. just an outdoor broom for the deck. the neighbor’s exterior light shines brightly into the one downstairs kid’s room, kids had to share the other room. none of the bathroom soap dispensers work. poor water pressure. And the right hand sink in the upstairs master bathroom drains super slow. overall wouldn’t recommend this place.

Great house! Amazing location!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We couldn't have asked for a more perfect house for our trip. There's plenty of room and the house was stocked with all the necessities for a beach vacation. Close to many shops, food trucks. Just a short walk to a beach with calm waters and a farmers market with fresh produce, shave ice and cold brew. Gorgeous views from the backyard. We could sit on the deck and watch the whales jumping in the distance until the beautiful sunsets every evening. The only thing we were missing was binoculars! The host was fantastic and provided all necessary information well in advance if our trip. Would definitely stay here again!
