This was a great get away on the north shore. Close to beach and Ted’s amazing bakery. We used this as our home base to adventure for a few days. Great communication with Mike as well.

This studio is clean but is furnished with thrift store purchases: furniture, artwork, kitchen etc. - which is okay as long as it is in line with your expectations. A pro for me was the large bath tub. I had a lot of trouble getting in due to being given an old code. I wasn’t familiar with the tow of lock box so at first I thought that was the problem. Then it was getting dark and my cell phone was losing charge. The whole process took 30-40 minutes and was unpleasant. Landlord did call me back after I was inside. Said he was in a snowstorm somewhere. It would have been good to have more instructions on various things, such as the lock, recycling, washing machine, tv etcAs others have said, the outdoor eating space is horrendous. There are broken chairs, water rubbing into the space from somewhere and the large “planters” that contain the big plants surrounding the space are rotting and falling apart. All in all, there is the feeling of him an absentee landlord who really doesn’t care. However the location is so convenient to the beach and is in a friendly neighborhood which gave a great tone to my visit.
Nice place, very comfortable. Loved walking to the beach to watch the surfers and the sunset. It wasn't a swimming beach but that was a close drive with a sandy beach.
Great place in a perfect location. Kids were there to surf so this was ideal for guys who just wanted to be in the water and eat at Ted's.

Crash pad for college kids or surfers..We would not stay here again.
First impression was a disgusting “patio” area between the parking area and entrance. broken, dirty cement, planter that was literally falling down with dead foliage. Far from the misleading photo of the area that was taken from the parking area. Table that was filthy, chairs the same, one partially broken. We found that this was the only table for eating, unless we wanted to hunch over the coffee table in the living room, while sitting on the couch and the only upholstered chair, which had a thick blanket on it to (unsuccessfully) attempt to protect your butt from the nasty springs in the seat that made sitting on it very unpleasant. The microwave had a tag inside indicating it was made in 2006, and it looked like it. Gross, with very difficult to understand controls. No oven, as the 19 year old microwave was supposed to function as an oven. 2 burners in the counter top. Toaster worked but was just gross with burned on butter or something all over the top. First frying pan out of the cupboard had dried food stuck to it. Bugs constantly in the kitchen. Yes, it’s Hawaii, but this was the 6th VRBO we have used in the islands, and the only one that was buggy. Dish ware was very minimal, but sufficient for the 2 of us. The bathtub had nothing in it or that we could find to prevent falls, so we placed a towel in the tup for safety when we showered. BASIC cleanliness was not a problem. It appeared that the cleaning person did the best she could.I HAVE PHOTOS.
Great location on the north shore. Quiet and pleasant neighborhood. It was everything that was described and host was great. We came for 2 weeks to visit our son stationed on the island and will definitely stay here again.
This rental is nothing fancy- very baseline and bare-minimum kitchen supplies. Things aren't sparkling clean, but I think that is a product of it being Hawaii where things wear down fast. We also saw some ants and cockroaches, but that's just Hawaii.
Location is just around the corner from a Sunset Beach access, which makes for AMAZING sunset watching at night. Super cool neighborhood. Very close to Ted's Bakery, which was great to get something to eat.
Could use some minor updates, and a good deep cleaning, but cleanliness was not an issue. Overall, GREAT stay, and would recommend!
Good location. Inside the unit was clean and well stocked. Furniture was uncomfortable, especially the large chair because the springs or something was broken. We did not use the patio because it was filthy and planter boxed unkempt and broken. Outside furniture was awful and dirty. Ground uneven so you must be careful walking through patio and in and out of unit. My husband fell out there and really got banged up on his face, hand, arm and leg and was very bloody. Thank goodness he didn't break anything. If the patio was taken care of so you could enjoy the area and the furniture more updated we would have absolutely loved the place. Great location and clean inside!!
DO NOT stay at this property. For the 12 hours that we stayed (out of the week that was booked), here are the problems that we experienced:
1. Cockroaches - one in the coffee pot, one in the bathroom, and an inch-long one that was running all over the place. (I have a video of this one.)
2. 2 bath towels, 2 hand towels, 1 wash cloth, and 2 beach towels for an entire week's stay.
3. Refrigerator was dirty and rusty.
4. Outdoor patio was disgusting - needed a good cleaning with a pressure washer.
5. The bathroom cabinets were filled to the brim with every shampoo, conditioner, bath soap, sunscreen, etc that every guest for the last 3 years had left...so much so that there was no room for our stuff.
6. No washer/dryer in the unit as described in the listing.
7. Communication with property owner Mike was less than stellar - we asked for a refund since we did not want to stay in a roach-infested property - his response - you read the reviews and it's Hawaii.
If you are looking for a roach-infested bachelor pad, this is your place. If not, book somewhere else!
The windows were all open when we arrived very dark unit.The property smelt strong of mold and mildew. Was unable to correct with air conditioner on seemed to make it worse. Tried to contact property manager by phone no answer and by text no answer for a long time. We started to get headaches and felt like there would be problems with breathing so deciced it was in our best interest not to stay there. Property manager finally texted us back very unpleasant and unprofessional response. Outside of the property was unkept. Worked lots of extra hours to pay for our vacation. No refund from owner. VRBO wanted pictures of mold and mildew can't take picutres of a smell so no refund. Definitely wasn't what we thought we rented.
This was a great little studio in a quiet north shore neighborhood. It's a quick 1 block walk to sunset beach and about the same distance to Ted's bakery. The place was easy to find thanks to the colorful gate and was clean when we arrived. There were basic cooking utensils and a 2 burner electric stove top (no oven). We rarely used the AC as there was a good breeze through the windows. There were also an assortment of beach chairs and snorkeling gear under the stairs to the right of the covered lanai. Overall it was a great value for a fun north shore vacation.
This studio unit was the perfect quiet waystation to adventure on the North Shore. It's definitely not The Ritz, but you will have everything you need in an awesome location. The unit was very clean, just a walk to beautiful Sunset Beach, another short walk to the delicious Ted's Bakery, and a very short drive to Waiamea Valley.
We had an awesome stay!
Very quiet at night, good sleeping. We enjoyed getting away from Honolulu and enjoyed the North Shore.
