We had a terrible experience. We booked a stay for two weeks and discovered a heavy roach infestation several days into our stay. The property owner’s response- “The North Shore is the country and not the city so there’s going to be cockroaches especially because of the warm climate.” That should be listed in the property description. He did allow us to leave- and refunded the portion of our stay that was unused after we provided proof of the infestation, but his response and the situation itself- put a huge damper on our entire trip.

Location is perfect! We enjoyed watching the surfers and perfect sunsets right from the balcony! House was very clean and perfect size for my husband and I for our honeymoon. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to cook. The area is centrally located to many great beaches and just a short drive to Haleiwa! We can’t wait to come back and will try to stay here again!

My wife and I had a wonderful experience with this rental. We loved looking towards the ocean and very happy that the whole front of it was windows to see the ocean. Such a beautiful view and we could sit and watch the surfers all days. This is such a peaceful side of the island and we enjoyed the large living room. We have really missed the sounds of the waves and all the nearby activities and the other beaches we visited while we were there for the two weeks. Thank you William and Betty! We’ll be back!

Loved the location and the property itself. Having the bigger yard was a plus. Quiet area after 9pm. Can hear the rumble of the waves when the swell is rising. Great views of pipeline! The beach is amazing all the way north and south. Great walking path of your calves are burning from walking in the sand :) Wish the kitchen had better pots and pans, silverware and small wears and knife set for cooking. We loved everything else about the house setup and upgrades. Will love to rent again in the future, you’re staying at a house amongst the elite surfers in the world. What an experience to say the least!!

This was absolutely perfect. Me, my wife and two boys try to come to Hawaii once per year and have settled on the North Shore of Oahu as our favorite area and the location of this property is ideal. The beach is stunning - a real beach too, not a few feet of sand in a picture shot at low tide. This is a wide sandy beach with sandy entry into the water and no strong currents in late July. There are fish and turtles frequently. If you want more fish etc, just head a mile up the road to Sharks cove. If you want the excitement of jumping off the rock, go just a bit more and you have Waimea Bay and the big rock. Foodland is right there too so you can get food, sunscreen etc. The house also has a nice big lawn for kids to play on. We bought an inexpensive volleyball/badminton set at Walmart and had great family competitions most days. Once you've worked up a sweat - head to the ocean and rinse off in the outside shower! If you want a quick hike to get your blood moving - the Pillboxes hike is a half mile away and will take you up to some nice views of the coast. Inside the house looks identical to the photos and was perfect size for our group. Normally we'd leave the windows and ceiling fans on and on the nights where the loft was a bit too warm, there was AC available. William was quick to communicate and his father even helped us out on the day of departure - a real gentleman. Hope to come back soon!

The beach in front of the house felt like a private beach. There was rarely anyone on the the beach in front of our house. The house had everything we needed for our family of 4. Loft room with 2 beds, and a roll away bed and a separate bedroom. Food trucks for dinner and take back to watch sunsets on our private deck.

In order to plan the perfect Hawaiian getaway, one that would put my dreamy honeymoon to shame, I channeled my inner Monica from Friends. I researched for days, cross-referencing every review site and travel blog and adventure listicle under the sun. With enough historical, and geographical information to give Lewis & Clark a run for their money, it was decided that Oahu was the place to be. We came across this beachside bungalow and were instantly charmed, it also checked off all the right amenities. The stunning pictures do not even do it justice. An expansive grassy yard, fully gated, 100 yards from the sand and the glorious ocean? Are you kidding me?! Paradise, we know her now. If you’re familiar with Los Angeles, North Shore is quite similar to staying in Malibu with its picturesque views and ideal location equidistant to nature, the city, local mainstays, and the historic town of Haleiwa when it’s time to shop. From this perfect bungalow, our access to activities sounds downright fictional. On land, we bike, hike, and discover local food trucks. On the water, we boat, kayak, snorkel, swim with turtles, and watch dolphins (yes, dolphins) splash in the surf. Best of all, the owner is kind, gracious, accommodating, and treats us like family (ditto for the local contact Betty). Even when Hurricane Douglas threatened to roll through, we felt looked after and as though we were truly part of the community. This place is pure magic and I couldn’t recommend it more. That is, if we ever leave and let someone else enjoy it in our place.

What a wonderful stay! The place is right on one of the best views of the NS. Awesome response from owner and manager. Many thanks and humbled to stay at this beautiful place!

This was a great house in a great location. We were close to great snorkel spots like sharks cove and turtle bay. We even snorkeled with a turtle right out in front of the house. The grocery store is close and they have everything you need to set up for the week. Plus they have the best Poke. Lots of food trucks all around if you need abreak from cooking. Haleiwa is also close and has great shopping and Matsumotos shave ice. My kids 10 and 12 loved the loft area and the master bedroom is nice and spacious. Air conditioning was a must as you get pretty warm with the afternoon sun coming in the windows. Thanks for the great memories.

This was our first stay at this beach home, and we loved it so much that we are planning to return next year! The location is perfect: on the bike path, close to Ted's Bakery and away from the crowds. The beach is wide with soft sand, and you can walk at least a mile in either direction. The water is clear and warm. The views are gorgeous, and we especially enjoyed the sunsets and views to Kaena Point. The home is itself is beautiful and immaculately kept by the caretaker Annie. Our boys loved the loft and it was great to have 2 full bathrooms and laundry. The A/C is worth definitely worth getting. William, the owner is quick in his responses, and his directions for entry and access are very clear. Thank you William for a wonderful and memorable stay!
