Amazing experience for our first time in Hawaii! We had the best time and this location was unbeatable. We cannot wait to come back and stay here again!
If you’re looking for a quiet North Shore spot, this is it. Beautiful views off the back porch, and basically your own private beach. The kitchen has been updated, and the bath is clean and functional. The interior furniture in the living area could stand a reset, but we spent 90% of our time on the back porch from sun up to sun down. The spot is convenient to places both north and south. Would definitely stay here again.

This location is the best! This is our second time staying in one of the 4 rental homes here. This 2 bedroom home was perfect for our needs and we loved sitting on the porch enjoying the view each day before and after the days activities!

Small 1 story house in the North Shore on the beach. Property is shared with 3 other homes. This is a 2 bedroom 1 bath home. Nice ocean view from kitchen and living room. Washer and dryer are located outside. There is an outside shower but it is not enclosed, just a shower. There is some beach stuff available to use during your stay. Wish there was at least one full length mirror. Overall it was a great stay.
This was an incredible stay. Just far enough away from the busyness of town. But close enough if we needed anything. Would be cool if the property had a clothes line to hang up swim suits and whatnot. But other than that, we are already planning another trip and this place is definitely a repeat for us. Mahalo!
My daughter got married at Turtle Bay so the location was perfect. Loved sitting on the wrap around porch and watching the ocean. Beds were very comfortable. Nice having the air conditioners in each bedroom and living room. Although plenty of windows for cross winds to blow through without the air. Very clean. Overall no conplaints. Highly recommend for a family with 2 kids or even four adults.
Wow what an amazing location. As a family of 4 with teenagers there was plenty of space. The beach right outside was great and lots to see in the rock pools. There was great beaches and plenty of activities nearby. It was nice to have some beach items like mats, snorkeling gear etc they came in really handy. Highly recommend staying here location location location, with everything you need for a relaxing stay.
Had the most amazing stay here. From the location to the house itself. It was exactly as described. Quiet retreat away from the city. Host was communicative and made staying there a breeze. Will definitely come back soon!

We enjoyed our time at the rental and loved the property
Great place to stay, unwind and explore the island.
The property was clean, easy to find and having amenities available. The beach was easy to access via stairs down to the ocean with amazing views from the property.
We had a fabulous stay at this beach front property!! The tide pools were really fun to walk around and see fish, eels, and hermit crabs! There was a nice rock wall separation from the ocean waves and we were able to hangout on floaties in the calm bay between the two. We would highlight recommend this property and are already looking for a time that we can come back!!
beautiful spot, way different feel than the city if that's what you're after. We loved sitting on the beach, the back deck, and being away from the hustle and bustle!
This was an amazing stay. The communication with the real estate company was great as was the experience of living on this beachfront property. The place was clean and comfortable and we will definitely be recommending it to everyone.
This cute cottage felt like the "old Hawaii" I remember from living there decades ago. Exceptionally clean, simple style- yet has all you could need for a wonderful stay! Very private which I appreciate. A perfect combination for relaxing and experiencing the North Shore at its best. The sunsets and beach views were exceptional! Loved the ability to grill and enjoy some home cooked meals.The communication with the host was excellent, check-in easy and he was prompt to respond to questions and/or a need. I plan to return next year!
It was truly an unforgettable experience. The house was absolutely stunning, just as pictured. It was clean with all modern amenities. Our host was just one text away if we needed anything. The neighborhood was quiet. The beach just down the steps was the perfect backdrop for breakfast, dinner and cocktails. We will absolutely be back!

The cottage was super clean and comfortable for our family of four. You cannot beat the view and it was an easy walk to a beach with a sandy entry free from rocks.
