Wonderful, backyard was the beach.

This place was wonderful, the only reason we rated it a 4 and not a 5 was that the air conditioner was broken when we arrived and the back bedroom got really warm and security lights kept going off. Great food trucks close by.

Beautiful beachfront stay in paradise

Our family has just returned from this incredible beachfront place. Everything was wonderful. We had an excellent time and appreciated how clean the place was, how easy it was to find and to enjoy, and how kind the property manager is/was. Thank you for such a relaxing, serene stay right on the beach!

Private tropical getaway

Oh my oh my, this was incredible! If you’re thinking of booking, just do it. You have basically a private beach to yourself, and you can watch whales and the stars through the spyglass on the back porch. The house itself has gorgeous painting all through out. Chuck, the caretaker, is amazing! He was able to give us great recommendations while also just being awesome. We will be back and if you’re thinking of staying here’s I highly recommend. The kitchen had everything you need, there was laundry, it was clean, and you’re between turtle bay and the town area of Haleiwa so you have options for dinner if you don’t want to cook. 10/10, we will be back

Better than expected

Location was fantastic. Loved watching the surfers every morning from the back porch. One mile walk to Ehukai beach and was able to see the WSL Pipe Pro. I feel the pictures do not do this place justice. It was very clean with great amenities. It was on the expensive side - at least for us - but ended up being well worth the money. Chuck is awesome. I would stay here again.

Sunset Beach Serenity

This property deserves a 5-star rating and with just a few minor touches it would be totally worthy. Location - AMAZING!! literally steps to your own beachfront and only a short 1 mile walk to Sunset Beach park/surf area. Easy to view surfers and whales (in season). Zen out to the sound of waves day and night. Cute, kitschy property is decorated somewhere between a surf shack and a Balinese property, this place has almost everything you need. There are a few reasons it misses the mark on 5 stars. Zero closets. Wanna hang something, no bueno. i can forgive that in a place where swimsuits and t-shirts are the norm. No welcome book to give you any directions around the place, which wasn't overly distressing until we wanted to watch the NFC/AFC Championship games. TV/Cable didn't work and we couldn't find any instructions. Again, we don't generally watch TV when we come to HI, but when we do it's nice to know it's easy to access. My biggest complaint is lack of beach chairs... 40 at Costco!! At a certain age, sitting in a beach chair vs sitting on the sand is preferred. And beach chairs would have gotten an intense workout had they been available. Special mention goes to Chuck the property manager who lives next door -- incredibly nice, easy to chat with and super helpful. Overall, a fabulous place to land.

Relaxation Paradise

Our stay was amazing. The location is perfect for relaxing on the lanai or sightseeing at the nearby attractions. Very comfortable, clean and has the best view of the beach! Watched the surfers and even caught glimpses of very active whale! The very friendly, helpful caretaker was a bonus! Will stay here again!

Cozy and Comfortable in Paradise

Beautiful property. Well-kept, clean with all amenities provided. Right on the beach, where the sand and ocean were only a few feet away. The only downside of location is that there are very few restaurants nearby (food trucks were close by, but hit and miss in terms of quality of food), so it would be wise to stock up to cook simple meals yourself. Chuck, the property manager, stays onsite and is very responsive to all questions and requests. And if you're lucky, you'll meet Baby, the resident duck. ;)

peaceful and perfect!

the view was amazing! home inside and out had no expense spared. it was comfortable, felt like home and was the perfect setting for our Hawaiian experience. the beach had some pretty major waves well over 50 ft making it every surfers paradise. your are feet from the ocean. it rained one entire evening and the covered patio was a nice place to relax and watch the waves roar in. I took a nap on the comfortable patio while my daughter and husband played cards. you cant go wrong staying here. It may be the first time in my life I truly enjoyed a rainy evening on vacation. The kitchen was well equipped for making steaks, seafood. and opening a nice bottle of wine. Bedding was comfortable and was freshly laundered on arrival. The caretaker, Chuck was helpful and shared stories of his past cliff jumping days. A sweet lil duck welcomes you on arrival and waits patiently outside for bread or his favorite treat a donut hole from Teds! Great experience, lovely home!

Simple but Beautiful

The house a simple bedroom house with no closets and very little room around the beds. It does not have central air, so you have to sleep with the bedroom doors open. The real selling point of the house is the back yard with living space outside. Unbelievable beauty and just a few steps from the water. An outdoor shower was nice to wash off all the sand before re-entering the house.

Wow, what a great place!

We have spent the last 6 months traveling around the world on a surf trip. Lots of BNB and VRBOs, this one was by far the best. Great location, tons of Aloha, awesome waves. We had a really great time!

Great place to stay but with some quirks

This place is magical. It's in a prime location and the vibe of the whole place totally puts you in the hawaiian mood. I'd totally stay again. There were some quirks with the place though, the manual lock and digital lock were not working properly upon arrival. The property's maintenance man came out after reaching out to the owner and he fixed the issue. In addition, not all the wall plugs worked in the house and there are no closets or racks for clothes anywhere in the house. I would love the option to be able to hang the nice clothes that I brought. Other than those things, I absolutely loved staying here!

Exceeding our Expectations!!

This beautiful one of kind retreat far exceeded our expectations. The property, the location, the uniqueness of the home made our trip special and forever memorable. The caretaker was attentive and very knowledgeable, kind and friendly. The pictures do not do this property justice. We travel a lot and stay in vacation rentals, this is by far our favorite.
