Excellent, beautiful North Shore location, comfortable home, chill environment. Great access to every level of activities and dining from food trucks and fruit stands to Ritz Carlton. Obviously super close to everything on the North Shore places but also a comfortable drive to Honolulu if you wish to visit. Very much enjoyed the stay.

Dream Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed for an entire week and wish we could've stayed longer. Everything about the rental was amazing. The views, the amenities, etc. With just steps from the beach and just a short beautiful drive from most activities, we were able to enjoy a plethera of activities. We are already looking into booking another trip next summer.

4/10 Poor

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy
The rental was not clean (dead bugs everywhere-including dead flies in the refrigerator, greasy countertops, used dishes under the bed, chips and debris on the floor, mold on shower curtain). The top level has 6 windows that have screens ONLY (no glass). This allows hot air to come in and the upstairs only cools off in the bedroom area in the wee hours of the night. The two beds in the extra space on the top level never cool off. The shower in the top room is in the jet tub which would be fine except the tub is difficult to get in (turned longways). One bed did not have any screws in one side so we had to zip tie it together to sleep. The electrical outlets did not have covers in the children’s room. The plumbing on the jet tub was exposed (tile literally on the floor). Cushions outside are wet and moldy. The host doesn’t respond in a timely manner. Look closely at the reviews as MANY are not verified and say the same thing over and over (fake). The host did little to fix the problems. If you come to Hawaii to have a nice experience, don’t waste it here.

Excellent Views

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The family enjoyed the property. The kids loved the yard in the back, while the adults could watch them and enjoy the deck overlooking the ocean. The property isn't fancy, but it is clean and had everything we needed. 3 bathrooms is always helpful with 6 people and kids. There is some traffic noise, but we pretended it was the ocean (but bring plugs if that is an issue for you). Otherwise it is very private and a beautiful setting. We would return.

Beautiful home & location.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Such a pretty home! You can't beat that view! It was gorgeous from the moment we arrived. Clean and well stocked for all our needs. Kitchen has spices and and all cooking supplies we needed (except a spatula!). The only A.C. units are in the bedrooms. The living area could use a ceiling fan to help keep it cool though. Upstairs became extremely hot with the evening sun and didn't cool down until after sunset. Curtains would help solve this during the day. We found 4 fans in the downstairs bedroom and that was a lifesaver. I was worried about the tide pools initially but they became a gold mine! We found fish, urchins, eels, crabs and so much more! What a treasure! If we ever get to come back we would definitely stay here again! Mahalo!

Beautiful Spot on Ocean

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a lovely house overlooking the ocean with beautiful sunsets and soothing sound of the surf to put you to sleep. Kitchen and living area are well equipped with good inside and outside sitting and dining areas. Nothing fancy or luxurious but clean and comfortable with lots of bathrooms. Downsides to be aware of: Road noise from adjacent highway and beach not great for swimming.
