Great beach cottage
We loved our stay at the surf cottage. It was close to everything we love on the North Shore. My family of 5 enjoyed the cottage, the kitchen, outdoor grill, extra beach items, outdoor shower, and colorful visiting geckos. Comfortable beds and cute decor also. We had a fantastic vacation. So much better than a hotel! Thank you, Stacey

We had a fantastic time while staying at this house. Stayed 8 nights and found it to be the perfect north shore location. The bikes were a great addition. House was clean and well stocked, providing all necessities for a fantastic vacation. The owner was very helpful and nice during the booking decision and process and during our stay as well. Thank you very much Jen!

Great experience!
Our family really enjoyed our time and stay at the cottage. We stayed in unit B and it was just perfect. Loved the location and have absolutely no complaints. The newly installed AC was unexpected and a great addition! I wasn't able to find the hairdryer but realized we didn't really need it. Book this place now and you wouldn't regret it!

Avoiding the crowds
The Surf Cottage is a great place to stay. The North Shore is low key and not overpopulated in the summer. Great place for kids with the beach 5 minutes away. Heather and Kai brought us extra sheets and gave us tips on where to go exploring. Great shrimp tacos from the food trucks. If you're looking to avoid the high rise hotels and to experience Hawaii more like the Hawaiians do, we recommend the North Shore and especially theSurf Cottage.

Home away from home
We had such a great vacation away from the cold weather. Thank you very much for all the little things that made your home very comfortable to stay in. My kids loved the beach across the street and all the little shops (and shave ice) in Haleiwa were perfect as well. We even had a chance to have dinner at Ola restaurant right on the beach at turtle bay. We wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you again for sharing your home with us.

My boyfriend, a close friend and have all been to the North Shore several times, but this was the most accommodating and comfortable house we have encountered. It's nothing fancy, but very clean and comfortable and every detail is looked after. We really felt like we were staying a friend's home. The extra beach towels and bath supplies were a nice touch, especially the Iodine, since we all got a few reef cuts during surfing. You can't beat the location - right across from one of my favorite breaks, Velzyland!

Perfect!
It's been awhile since we stayed but wanted to write a review! We lo9ved this little place and wanted to re-book it for 2017 but it's booked up :( It worked perfect for the four of us. One couple and two friends so the separate beds in the second room worked well. (great for kids too). We road the bikes to town and could walk to the beach. It was great! Had one issue with toilet but owners fixed same day while we were out. Want to come back!

Wonderful Beach Accommodation
The property was the perfect size for our family of 4, reasonably priced and in a good location, with easy access to surf beaches. The beach bikes were used every day for surf checks, whilst the outdoor shower was a bonus for post surf wash offs. The 2 bedrooms were very roomy and the full size kitchen was a great for cooking home meals. We hadn't been back to the North Shore for 20 years and it was refreshing to see that not much has changed. Its a very laid back community, with the coast line remaining raw and unspoilt. A big congrats to the local community for fighting to keep it that way. We had a fantastic 2 weeks at this property and will be back. Thank you, Lisa

A Perfect Stay at Velzyland Cottage
I recently had the pleasure of staying at Velzyland Cottage on Kamehameha Highway, Haleiwa, for almost a month with my family. We were five in total—three adults, one teenager, and an eleven-year-old—and this charming 1940s summer cottage accommodated us beautifully without ever feeling cramped. The beds were comfortable, and the cottage was stocked with plenty of fresh, pure-white bedding, bath, and beach towels. It truly felt like a home away from home. The kitchen was thoughtfully prepared, complete with basic essentials like paper towels, salt, pepper, garlic, and olive oil, which lasted us through the first few days before we needed to visit the local market. The host, Heather, was incredibly considerate, providing brand-new dish soap, sponges, kitchen towels, and laundry detergent pods. The washer and dryer were a lifesaver, allowing us to pack light for our stay. What made our stay even more memorable was Heather and her husband’s kindness and hospitality. They not only helped us feel welcome, but they also offered invaluable advice about the area as we prepared to move our daughter to a local university. Heather went above and beyond, giving me time to share my feelings during this bittersweet transition, and I deeply appreciated her compassion. The location of the cottage is perfect—just a short drive to Turtle Bay, Kahuku, North Shore Food Trucks, Sharks Cove, and Sunset Beach. The laid-back atmosphere of the area was exactly

Surger Cottage steps from the Beach!
Our family of 6 stayed on "side B" in July. We all fit comfortably, using the 3 beds plus a sleeping mat in the closet. There were no extra sheets and after asking, Heather (and her husband) found some for us right away! Also during our stay the washing machine stopped working and they replaced that right away! We so appreciate their responsiveness. Highlights of the cottage: steps from a quiet beach (crossing the busy road so be careful!) The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed; neighbors friendly and quiet; enjoyed drinking coffee on the front "lanai" every morning. :) And, a 10 minute walk to Ted's Bakery. We also like the way the place was decorated. We look forward to staying here again!

Comfortable cottage across from beautiful beach!
Our family of 5 enjoyed this beach cottage during the summer when the north shore is a snorkeler's paradise. The water was clear, warm and calm, with a small outside reef break. Great snorkeling conditions and overall perfect beach weather for lounging, SUP'ing, etc. A twin bed and queen bed in "kids" room worked for us, but the master bed is saggy. There's also a small couch that our kids loved stretching out on in the living room. We would rebook in a second, because there's a quiet little beach across the (sometimes busy) street. Kitchen is well stocked and the shower & laundry outside was much appreciated. We loved the beach vibe and comfort of this cozy house, and it's in an ideal location on the North Shore. Thanks to the manager Heather for her helpfulness (found lost sunglasses) and overall responsiveness.

Late Response
I never really do reviews thus this one being almost a year late, but because I plan to visit Hawaii again I wanted to leave a great review for this house. I was able to stay here with my husband, my brother, brother in law and his girlfriend for I believe a week and it was amazing. Not only was it convenient for my husband to visit family near by, the beach right just a 5 minute walk, the house itself was beautiful. They had an amazing shower inside as well as outside, a sofa bed, wifi, movies to watch, just about everything we needed that week. I would definitely recommend this place to friends and family who plan to visit and would hopefully rent here again in the future. The whole transaction was easy and the communication as well. Also if we needed anything, Heather was only a call/email away. Great place and a great experience! !

Great deal on a fun place!
I knew it was a great deal but we were all really surprised at how nice both the house and the neighborhood were. There were five of us - two in each bedroom and my son on the couch. The house is very clean and tightly constructed. In almost all of our other rentals and even hotels we had a number of cane spiders, giant cockroaches, or other bugs - normal Hawaii. Despite being very rural there were absolutely no bugs inside the whole time! Another nice thing is the neighbors - it felt like a tight community that kept a watch on things, and also had great ideas and advice. One even helped our daughter surf on the local break. The beach is close and very beautiful and remote. Not the best for swimming as there's a lot of reef, but you can walk 5 min more to get to a swimming beach. The road is a bit noisy but never bothered us and it is quiet inside.

Great North Shore location!
We loved this place! Kai and Heather were wonderful and really took care of everything! It is located at the end of North Shore, so far less crowded than other areas. The beach across the street is beautiful and was almost always deserted. It was perfect for snorkeling! The house was very clean and worked well for the 2 of us and our 2 teenage children. Plenty of room! Kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook. There was an issue with the fridge not working, but it was taken care of right away with a new fridge! There is no AC, which is pretty common on the island, but with the windows and doors open and the fans blowing, it really wasn't a problem. The Kam Hwy can be a bit busy (and noisy), making getting into the parking area a little tricky at times, but really not an issue at all. In walking distance to Ted's Bakery, so that was nice! The boogie boards and bicycles were a great bonus! The area is really laid back. Great experience all the way around. We will definitely stay here again if we ever make it back to the island and will surely recommend to others!

Sunburned and Happy
We found the cottage to work perfectly for our family. It was simple and comfortable. We easily recognized it from the online pictures. It was just as we had imagined. We just made ourselves at home and used every square inch of the cottage. The washer and dryer were a big help in being able to keep our towels dry and small wardrobes clean. It was well stocked with cooking items and a full sized fridge for our leftovers. There is also plenty of room to park cars which was a bonus. The house geckos were a fun guests as well. We really enjoyed stalking them and watching them eat items we had dropped on the floor. It was great to be so close to the beach. We loved being able to watch the sunset each night. Being that close to the beach does put the cottage close to Kamehameha Highway and can be a bit noisy. There is no air conditioning so we had the windows open all the time. There was always a nice breeze blowing through the cottage. The cottage is very close to Haleiwa, Kahuku, Laie, Shark's Cove, Pipeline and Turtle Bay. Some of our favorite places to eat are Papa Ole's, Matsumoto's Shave Ice, Big Wave Shrimp Shack, Kahuku Grill, and Ted's Bakery. Food Land grocery store was very close to the cottage as well. The only drawback to the cottage was a rooster that seemed to roam the area and liked to crow quite early in the morning. Kai was extremely helpful and very good about answering any of our questions. Very fun, family friendly place.

Classic North Shore property
We loved this place. It is located at the end of the main North Shore beach area, so it is far less crowded than the Haleiwa, Waimea and Ehukai areas (especially on weekends) but still convenient to everything. Also, the beach across the highway is lovely and was just about deserted every time we went there (and is apparently a great surf spot when the waves are up). The property itself is a classic Hawaii house, not fancy and probably not for people wanting an antiseptic tourist experience, but my wife, two teenage children and I loved it. Plenty of space with Comfortable beds, a nicely updated bathroom, outdoor showers, a nice front lanai, a decently outfitted kitchen, and a washer and dryer which were crucial after 10 days of traveling. Visitors need to be aware that there is no AC, but we were just fine with keeping the windows open and the ceiling and box fans running. And yes, the neighborhood chickens rose earlier than we might have wanted to, but it's the country, so you have to get used to it. The entrance is right off the Kam Highway, so there's some traffic noise and the parking space can be a bit tricky to get in and out of with heavy traffic, but that's truly a minor hassle. The only drawback that I could really find was the refrigerator/freezer in the B unit seems to be nearing the end of its life and didn't keep things very cold (i.e. beer!). To summarize, if you want the real North Shore experience instead of the Hawaii vacation that the big hotel chains make you think you want, this is the place for you. Honestly, our biggest complaint is that we wish we could have spent longer here and less time among the tourist throng in Waikiki. Aloha!

Great stay in The Perfect Surf Cottage!
My family and I stayed in the Surf Cottage (Unit A) for a week earlier this month. I can't say enough good things about this property and Heather. It is everything as advertised and then some. The property is a duplex with very handy parking right in front of the house. I will say it isn't the easiest to find initially, at night, but that is kind of to be expected. As the name implies "Perfect Surf Cottage", it is just that...a surf cottage...not a surf mansion or a surf palace...it is a cottage...everything you need to have an awesome time in the laid back North Shore. Close proximity to Foodland grocery store and the best breakfast/bakery place you will ever find anywhere, North Shore legendary Ted's Bakery. Directly out in front of the cottage and across Kam Hiway is beach access that is a pedestrian only walkway that opens onto a fantastic beach named Velzyland. We are a family of 4 relatively tall people, the shortest is 5'-9" and the tallest is 6-5", we had plenty of room without being on top of each other. My wife's favorite thing was the outdoor shower. My younger son had a love hate relationship with the chicken family that lived on the premises...he has the rooster's crow saved on his I phone. My older son and wife did a shark dive out of Haleiwa "One Ocean Diving" that Clark Little recommends. I loved the whole cottage, especially the day geckoes and anoles that run amuck all over the place. The house is clean and well kept and was everything I wanted...not too nice...not to shabby...just right for the North Shore and a total relaxing atmosphere. I would highly recommend this place to anybody looking for that country North Shore Vibe and I sure hope to stay here again. Thanks, BW

Ok but not for families wit kids
Our experience was ok but not what we were hoping for. The beach was close by and that was nice but the waves were too strong for young kids. The house wasn’t stocked as well as we had had in past home rentals so we were judging off that. For example, no oils or spices for cooking. Not even salt and pepper or sugar. Everything smelled of mildew. It was just hard having to sleep in a bed that smelled and after shower towels that smelled. There were lizards in the house at several different times which didn’t really bother us but might someone else. I had to buy some laundry detergent to do a load of laundry (outside) and I actually left a few pods for future use for someone. I bought a dish sponge because it smelled awful too. The traffic was extremely loud and bright at night. Not the best for kids trying to sleep. Even with white noise it was loud. The floors are very creaky as well. Again, not the best for sleeping kids. No vents in the kitchen or bathroom which prob aids the mildew situation and one of the beds in the room had mold all over the bed skirt. Shower looked like black mold in the grout too. It wasn’t a terrible stay but we did want to check out early. Again, take this all from someone with two kids under 4 so that played a big part in our discomfort. We spent 4 days here and headed to Aulani. We wanted to experience both the country and a resort stay and I think we achieved that!

WE LOVED our Perfect Surf Cottage on the North Shore!
This accommodation was perfect for our family! It was light, airy, styled beautifully, spacious, private and comfortable. We enjoyed being able to walk or ride bikes to the beach, Ted's Bakery & Pipeline. We enjoyed the deck for breakfast and evening meals. The kitchen, laundry and bathroom were well set up. The North Shore area was lovely - nice to be away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The traffic on the highway outside our cottage was busy during the day... but quiet at night. Great to have car parking available and we appreciated the fenced yard. Totally recommend this accommodation for families and groups looking for an affordable holiday in Hawaii!

This place is perfect!!!!
We fully enjoyed our stay at this house across the street from one of the most beautiful beaches on Oahu!!The place was exactly as described, clean, convenient, quiet and in a great location.It was just me and a good friend staying there for a week, but the place is perfect for families too. We bumped into the owner on the last day and he’s probably one of the nicest people I’ve ever met! It is located right on Kam highway, so there is a little bit of road noise , but it didn’t phase us!!! Highly recommend this place!! Oh yeah, it’s got the BEST outdoor shower I’ve ever stood under!!🤙🤙🤙
