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.

Wonderful for large family
This house was wonderful for our large family. We had 9 adults and 2 babies. There was a pack and play,a stroller and a wagon, which helped enormously. The house was very clean, very comfortable beds,and the AC was cold. The large dining table was a great bonus. The walk to the beach was a little further than we thought,but not terrible. Neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. I highly recommend this house.The ad stated 2 washers and dryers but one was out of service, but it really didn't impact us at all. Host was very communicative and check in was a breeze. Also, really appreciated the fully fenced and gated yard.

Would recommend this place to anyone
Absolutely incredible experience staying at Secluded Sands. Would recommend to anyone. There are enough rooms and beds to easily accommodate 2-3 families. The kitchen had all the little things that you need (utensils, seasonings, pots/pans, cups, bowls, plates, etc.). There were lots of toys, chairs and umbrellas for the beach. The wagon came in extra handy. The stand up paddle boards were great to have at nearby Kawela Bay where we saw lots of turtles. Will stay here every time we come to visit Oahu. Thank you so much!

Amazing place to bring our family
We had a wonderful time staying in this home on the North Shore and will definitely come again! Home was large enough for our big family and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Sunrise views from the home are unbeatable.

Born and raised in Hawaii
Pros: -Quiet location-Safe location-Amazing views-Spacious for a big Ohana-Sunsets/sunrises are breathtaking -Close to grocery stores/fruit stands/beaches-clean and comfortable Cons:-Entry gate would work sometimes-Booked this property because we thought the beach was right outside the house but it was down the street so if you’re thinking it’s a beachfront, it’s not. -trash was full before we got there from previous renters (a fee if you do not take it out on Tuesdays/Fridays)-if you’re looking to have a get together (esp being from Hawaii born and raised, we come with a big Ohana) it will not be approved due to a clause they said they have which means the amount of people you can have in and out the house is 14 (basically the max of people that is accounted for while renting there) we wanted to have a dinner for my mom and it was not accommodated so we had to have a plan B. I found this very disappointing as it was not a “party”. For the price that we paid, to be told we basically can’t have visitors but it states “as long as we let the host know and they don’t stay past 12am it was ok was really upsetting.

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.

Bria’s place was a great find for our stay in Hawaii. It comfortably fit our family of 10 with lots of private space for everyone. The kitchen was had tons of appliances and cookware which made it easy to make homemade meals. We loved all the beach gear that was available to use.

Wonderful home!
Beautiful, updated house and property in a quiet, safe neighborhood. The beach is a very short walk away and we never saw anyone else there when we went. It was so beautiful and peaceful! The host’s instructions were so helpful and very detailed about every part of the property. Having AC in each room was a lifesaver on hot, muggy days. The property is located in such a convenient location to quickly get to our local favorites in Laie and Kahuku. Haleiwa is not a far drive either. We came as an adults only girls trip but this property would also be a great place for families. I’d definitely bring my kids back.

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.
