Second time!

We stayed here a couple years ago and then again in March of this year (2025). We love this house. It’s the perfect location. Steps from Three Tables Beach and Waimea Bay. Also walking distance to Foodland and some good food trucks. Super low key with a local vibe. So much better than the hustle and bustle of Waikiki.the host is so nice and responsive. HIGHLY recommend this property!!!

Best location!

Couldn't ask for a better location on the North Shore -- 1 minute walk to Three Tables, about a 5 minute walk to Waimea Bay, Shark's Cove, Foodland and food trucks. We barely used our car. The cottage had everything we needed. Would love to stay again!

North Shore heaven

Perfect little bungalow on the North Shore! My husband and I and our 2 teen boys enjoyed this great little house. Perfectly appointed, clean with AC that cooled the house in minutes (it was hot!). Easy walk to Foodland (we lived on their poke) and beaches a two minute walk. Would totally stay here again!

Amazing!!

We enjoyed our stay very much. Loved the house and the beds were very comfortable. Nice and clean too, with just about all we needed. Just one small draw back was the BBQ was so full of grease that the fire in it took 10 minutes to finally burn itself out.

Great little bungalow

Location location location! Steps away from two beaches. It's cozy and the bedroom walls are sliding doors so there's no privacy, but 5 adults had a great week. Very clean. Got a lot of use out of washer and dryer. Nearby grocery store has amazing poke!

North Shore

We had a great stay on the North Shore and loved the location. 5 min walk to Waimea Bay and Sharks Cove and only 1-2 min walk to Three Tables. On the weekend, when traffic got busy it was so nice to simply walk to the beach with no hassle. Also loved the convenience of the food trucks and also Foodland. We seriously ate Poke from Foodland 3-4 times and now that we are home are wishing we could have more. The two A/Cs were fantastic and cooled the house quickly in the late afternoon prior to sunset. Would definitely stay here again.

Great North Shore Stay with Family

Our family of 4 had a great stay at this North Shore property. The location was minutes from Three Tables Beach and many good food trucks, and walking distance to the Foodland in Pupukea. We did have a problem with ants in a bedroom and bath, which we took care of with Raid. All three bedrooms had slatted sliding doors, so not very sound proof. Kam Hwy could be pretty busy so we had to be careful getting into and out of the driveway. Otherwise, we really enjoyed our stay at this property in Pupukea.

Perfect Location on the Beautiful North Shore

The cottage is located within walking distance to Waimea bay, Three Tables beach, Shark’s Cove, Waimea falls, food trucks, and a grocery store. The historic village of Haleiwa with great restaurants and shops is only a few minutes by car as is Sunset Beach. In short, if you are looking for an active beach-centric vacation, this is the ideal place. The cottage itself was a little smaller than I expected and the three bedrooms are all separated from other rooms by louvered doors that are not very private, but would probably be ideal for families with children. It’s also a bit difficult to find the driveway from the road especially at night. There is only room to park one car, which could surprise larger groups. However, I would highly recommend the property for smaller groups of 3 to 6 (sleeping is best for 3 couples). We had a great time and will consider renting again.

Fantastic house and location, loved Pupukea and beaches(not chickens).

We truly enjoyed our stay. House was furnished well, laundry at house, bikes, stuff to use, all the stuff you need to relax, cook and enjoy Hawaii's north shore. Chelsea communicated timely and responded to all our questions. Fantastic location if you want to walk to great uncrowded beaches, food trucks, grocery. Short drive to Haleiwa we loved too. I think a couple things of note for others to be aware of. Like someone else noted, I thought the house we had was "front" and facing the water, it was not, but not a problem for us. Just be aware. Secondly, chickens(ugh)....Expect chickens as they spent a great deal of time, under on and around our deck. They will wake you up! Just before we left, one surprised us with 2 eggs on the chair. She was defiant at my shoo-ing. Now we know why! Very safe, very fun and we would gladly do again!! Thank you Andy and Chelsea in making this so easy. Take care! Brian and family

Holiday getaway

We stayed at the PuPukea beach house for ,Christmas. We arrived after dark and had some trouble finding the house at first since the house number we were given was erroneous and we couldn’t get ahold of anyone. We did eventually find it and had no problem getting into the gate and the house. We had a wonderful holiday here ! The weather was gloomy but when it stopped raining we walked on the beach (never made it into the water) and watched the huge waves. We were able to play pickleball next door in the basketball court. We cooked every meal and the kitchen is very small for two people . Baking cookies was hard as there is no mixer and no cookie sheet. Had to go out to buy a pan to cook my roast but managed ok. We could walk to Foodland easily. For our party of five it was a bit crowded eating meals as we didn’t sit on lanai due to mosquitos where we wound have had a dining table . all in all, It was a nice respite ; we never heard the people in the house behind us , only bumped into them when parking side by side. It was relaxing falling asleep to somnolent sound of the waves crashing! Would rent again!

Great location

The location is excellent. Lots of things close within walking distance or a short drive. Check in and check out fairly easy. Getting in and out of the property can be a little tricky. The road is very busy at times and is a mere 10' from the gate making it impossible to pull up to the gate safely off the road to wait while the gate opens. Parking area is very rough. The cottage description says remodeled. It is (in my opinion) dated with some updates, not remodeled. The outdoor grill on the deck was nice to have. House was very clean. Beds were fine with a decent comfort level. Washer and Dryer are outside in a shed but no detergent on site. You can not see the water from this property but it is so close you can hear it. No real views to speak of from any window. The mature landscaping makes it rather dark inside the cottage. The beaches are great but one thing to note if visiting during winter months. The bay will not look like the pictures in the description. It will not be that calm. Lacking beach gear. There were no boogie boards to be found and if it wasn't for a previous guest there wouldn't have been beach chairs. Just towels. The caption in one of the pictures says "Borrow our Bikes to cruse the bike path". This is is false. The bikes are locked up and we were told by the property manager that the bikes "are not for guests" after asking to use them. In summary, an average place in a great location.
