Family vacation

Loved it. The view is incredible. We love the north shore and can’t wait to be back. House was as advertised. Property manager was great, had a problem with the tv when we arrived and she was there the next day taking care of it.

Perfect North Shore house for family

The best view you could ever ask for. Spacious, comfortable, in a good spot near great beaches. Couldn’t be happier with our time on the north shore and would suggest a house up here over a hotel down south any day!

Location was amazing!! House was great!! Great neighborhood!!! ONLY downside was no blinds on sliding glass doors to prevent afternoon sun from reflecting off water and into the living room but would book again - no problem. Was my family’s first time here and they LOVED it

Amazing view but very warm inside

It has amazing views at sunset. The beach is not very user friendly as far as snorkeling but, there are tons right down the road. It has AC but doesn't really down the space so it was very warm during our stay.

North Shore Reunion

Easy to find, check in easy, beds comfy. Having a nice backyard lawn was fun and we did bbq. The couch in the house is outdoor furniture not comfy. It also can use some containers for left overs. A/C worked great. The view is priceless. To get to the water/beach you do have to go down about 10 stair steps FYI. Beach right there is not a swimming beach but nice if you have small children. You can walk a short distance to be able to get in. We were here in February so bigger waves. Its a beautiful house

Hot and non-responsive

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved the location, views and privacy. However, the afternoon sun baked the house except for the two first floor bedrooms. The a/c units are not adequate for this house. The a/c window unit upstairs needs to be replaced as it blew slightly cool air at the best. We texted and emailed the owner/management company about this, but never got a response. I was most bothered by the lack of response. Also, the living room needs a real sofa. It only has an outdoor wicker sectional that would not stay together. I would not rent from this company again or this house until the air conditioning if working properly.

Amazing house!!!!

I found this amazing house right on the beach and took my family to do a celebration of life for my wife who passed away from Cancer a year ago. Our stay was amazing, the house was exactly what it shows online, the pictures don't do it justice! We'd wake up and have coffee on the porch and listen to the waves. Access to the beach was great, house was very clean and had all the amenities we needed and was well stocked with towels and cooking stuff. Lots of local fruits and vegetables within a mile. No need to go into town! I am ready to go back and stay AGAIN! If you need rest and relaxation, this is where you want to stay! Get away from the hussle of downtown Honolulu and enjoy the beach! This was our first time renting a house and the property management team was very helpful and quick to respond to emails. The only downfall on this place is it got a bit warm inside just from the sun but in the evenings it cooled down. It was 8 adults that stayed and plenty of room for everyone, the outside shower was a great help with the sand. I CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK AND STAY HERE!!!!!

Best Vacation Ever!

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: We had the best time renting this house! We got married on the beach in the back yard and it was a dream come true. Waking up to the ocean view was amazing. I did not want to leave. The house was very spacious and had everything you needed except for food of course. It was a bit warm but at night time we would open up an the windows and the breeze would cool it down. There are window ACs in the bedrooms however the upstairs is open to the downstairs but the large fan made it comfortable to sleep at night. I would suggest one of the wall AC units in the living room to cool it better during the day. Overall our experience was the best. The washer had a mildew smell but that was expected being on a humid island. Foodland was 10 minutes away. Kind of pricey but convenient or you can drive to Walmart which is about 45 minutes away. We loved the north shore side because it felt like home. We will be renting this house again in the near future. We can't wait to return!

Amazing family vaction home

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 could not have asked for a better rental for our family vaction of 8 adults. The home was clean and well maintained. We enjoyed every day either on the beach a few yards to the right of the stairs or a 5 minute drive down the road. The kitchen was perfect for everyone to grab a quick breakfast, lunch or snacks. Dinner was obtained from the plentiful and high quality food trucks and stands right along the roadway. Every ones tastes and preferences could be accommodated without debate. The sunsets every night are spectacular. Would highly recommend this rental.

Such an amazing North Shore home away from home! Could not have been more perfect! Very well appointed house on the water. Epic waves and sunsets! Traffic on the North Shore was the only downside of our visit. I'd highly recommend staying here and hope to return in the future. Plenty of room for a large family or couples.

Very beautiful ocean view and a daily chicken parade!

The view was spectacular! Nothing more relaxing than sitting in the back deck and taking in the waves. It also was 5 minutes away from The Ritz, which has a nice beach for swimming. We also loved the parade of chickens that would come through the backyard in the morning!
