This was our second stay at Lori's place. The place is very safe, it is on a private road and the neighbors really watch out for strangers. We got everything as it was said. Vern the caretaker was very welcoming and kind. The place was clean and right on the shore in the town. Definitely recommended.

Very cute farm in Haleiwa. The hosts were very nice and accommodating. Lori and Tunji were on vacation while I was there so their friends checked us in and gave us a nice tour of the beautiful property. We felt welcomed and well taken care of and felt like we had great privacy too.

Lori and Tunji's Simple Serenity was exactly what its name suggests. After spending a week in busy Waikiki we were very keen to escape to some peace and quiet for a few days and the Mango Bungalow gave us just that. The bungalow had everything (and more) that we could've asked for; comfy bed, coffee maker, fridge and more. Strolling into town, the beach or the bus stop (that can get you anywhere on the island from) was super easy. On our departing day Lori gave us some starfruit which we enjoyed on the beach before leaving Haleiwa. We will definitely recommended the bungalow to friends travelling in Hawaii, and would love to revisit in the future! Thank you :)

This is a real gem, just as described. Verne and Cindy were there to greet me. It's a magical kind of space, comfortable, clean, and full of interesting plants, trees, and animals. It is right next to town and the beach, so you have easy access. A really lovely place to stay and great hosts - I highly recommend it~

Fantastic people! Beautiful farm with all kinds of delicious fruits. There is also a garden we enjoyed for our cooking! Facilities are good and ok for anyone, but be prepared to kill a cockroach. We stayed 2 weeks and had 2 cockroaches visiting. As long as you keep it clean, it's all good. The hosts are just wonderful people, and they make you feel warmly welcomed!

Exactly what we were looking for! A nice simple bungalow, very close to the sea, loads of contact with nature and delicious fresh fruit around the property. It was very quiet and peaceful to be there. Lori and Tunji were super welcoming and helpful. Would definitely go back and recommend the experience!

This is a clean, comfortable, and cute cabin on a small farm very close to town. They even take measures to put plates and silverware in ziploc bags. And there were beach towels for us to use. The description they give is very accurate. It is a perfect set up to come back to after a day of hiking or hanging out on the beach. Tunji was very responsive to things we needed or questions we had. He also gave us some fruit and a quick tour around when we arrived. Their farm is also a beautiful set up to see if you are interested in sustainable living.

Lori and Tunji were lovely hosts and made booking/ check-in/ check-out very easy. The small structure was adorable and spotlessly clean. My partner and I loved how cute it was and the location in general. Comfortable bed and everything you need to cook a great meal. Thank you Lori and Tunji!

I highly recommend this spot! It's so spacious, private, comfortable, and you can't beat the location. It is walking distance to all the main street in Haleiwa, the harbor, and beaches. The bed and pillows were the most comfy ever... even better than home. The yard is lush and there's a nice pathway on the private side entrance. I didn't cook much but the kitchen is huge... a whole nother room from the bedroom and lounge space. The wifi and desk made getting work done super easy and efficiently. Brian was super helpful and always open to communicating. From the time I arrived on my flight he made sure that I'd be able to find it and throughout my trip pointed me to good food spots and other fun things to do. His family is super nice too. There was a big storm while I was there and he was very conscientious in making sure that me and the house were ok. They were the type of family that made sure you felt taken care of while also giving you plenty of privacy. I definitely enjoyed my stay and can't wait to go back!

Accurate pictures and description. Brian and his wife are excellent hosts. Available to help and communicate, flexible and accommodating. Location is perfect to access all of Haleiwa 'town' , harbor, and beach without a car. Great visit!

We had a wonderful time in Brian's apartment in a perfect location in historic Haleiwa. The apartment is so recently renewed that we were the first guests, hence this is the first review. Brian and Charity are perfect hosts, with a very warm welcome upon arrival and advice on getting around, places to visit and suggested dining options. If you're looking for a taste of REAL Hawaii, rather than the hustle and bustle of Honolulu, then this is the place for you.

My wife and I stayed here on our honey-turned-baby-moon. Of our two weeks on Oahu and Kauai, this was perhaps the most comfortable place we stayed, including several resort hotels. The bed was so comfortable, that it was the best sleep my wife has gotten in the the 24 weeks of her pregnancy. We've followed up with Brian for the make of the bed/pillows since then. As for location, if Haleiwa is your North Shore base, you can't beat the location. The house is tucked away on a quiet residential street among several friendly neighbors. We were 3 minutes walk from coffee, several restaurants, shaved ice and the harbor where all of your whale watching, shark diving and fishing activities will leave from. We were 10 minute walk from world class surfing and relaxing beaches. We came to appreciate the proximity after making trips in heavy traffic up and down the main road. Brian was also great in making suggestions of things to do and places to eat as we were planning our trip weeks before arrival and after we arrived.

We ha do such a fabulous time during our stay. It was close to everything, clean and larger than I expected from the pictures. What push my rating to a 5 had to do with Brian our host...he had the aloha spirit in spades!!! He was easy to get a hold off prior to our stay and extremely helpful during our stay. Everything he recommended were spot on! We would definitely stay here again the next time we visit paradise!

I had the most amazing time staying in Haleiwa with Brian and his family. The unit is perfect for a solo or couple traveller. Quiet, private and very comfortable. I can't wait to visit again. Mahalo

What a great spot with an amazing host. Very private and central to the wider North Shore. If we had our time over we would have booked the whole week there rather than spending 3 nights in Waikiki

Brian is a great host. A local to the area and was able to provide great locations on where to beach and snorkel with sea turtles. Just an FYI the unit does not have air conditioning so starting your night it is very hot and cool when you wake up. Brian does provide a fan and the unit has a ceiling fan.

Nic sent us a highly detailed welcome pack, with lots of local information. The apartment was beautiful, and clean, and in a great location. The complex was quiet, with a locked shared laundry room. It also gets a lovely breeze. The kitchen was great and we had all the appliances and utensils we needed to cook for ourselves as it can get expensive eating out every meal. The beach in front is lovely, and we enjoyed taking the provided beach chairs down on the sand for sunsets and watching the turtles. It does really help to have a car though! being an hour from Waikiki, and to get to all the awesome beach breaks like pipeline / sunset / etc! Would definitely come back here.!

Nic was well prepared with introductory e-mails, messaging, and ensuring we could get into the unit despite arriving later than anticipated. Apartment is nice and great location but needs new couch futon padding. Metal coils in my back was a disappointment and a sleeping issue since I had to sleep on it. I wish others on this site had warned me of that. Bed in bedroom seemed fine from what my travel partner said. Wouldn't stay here again unless couch/futon issue was upgraded.

Great location. The access to the beach was easy, and the unit had a pin code upon entry. There was never a need to bring a key. The unit is well furnished, has everything you need to cook and lounge in the mornings. Washer and dryers are accessible and convenient. The beach was not busy at all, there was even a monk seal that came up to rest. Saw some fish while snorkeling. Coming up to the units there was a foul odor, though. Other than that, it is a great stay!

Amazing location and nice host! Nic sent us all of the information we needed before arriving and responded promptly to any questions by email. The location was even better than we hoped! The apartment complex is located beachfront on a side street near the main street in Haleiwa town which means close access to shops and restaurants. This beach spot is a nice sandy beach that is great for morning and evening walks, and playing in the water. We saw turtles every day. The apartment had beach towels and beach chairs for us to use. Also super close and easy (5 min drive) to get to pua'ena pt beach park for surfing and snorkeling, etc. We had breakfast at the apartment every morning and were super impressed with the great kitchen amenities considering how small the kitchen was. there was a blender for smoothies, an oven and stovetop, coffee maker, etc. We would usually sit on the balcony and watch the ocean while eating breakfast. We even had dinner at the apartment a few times since it was so convenient and enjoyable. There are also picnic tables across the grass next to the water. We loved going to Beet Box Cafe, Luibuenos, and Celestial Natural foods, which are all close by. Wave riding vehicles had great prices for surf board rentals and everyone there was super nice! all highly recommended in Haleiwa! Highly recommended and we can't wait to go back!

Nic was great, house was close to so many things on the north shore and we appreciated all of his help with getting settled and working with our timeline.

Absolutely awesome location. Lovely accommodation.

The location of the apartment is awesome and the unit is very clean. Nic went out of his way to accommodate us once we arrived there and realized that there wasn't any air conditioning and it was 82 degrees in July. He does have a portable unit in the bedroom which really helped! He is an awesome owner! We totally enjoyed our stay!!

We had such a great stay at Nic's unit in Haleiwa! We would highly recommend it to a couple or a family with small children (such as ourselves). The unit is in a great location with the beach just across the lawn and the cute town just a few minutes away. Everything was as described, if not better. The beds were comfy and everything was clean and tidy. Two bathrooms were a definite plus too! Thanks Nic for a wonderful stay!

We had 4 amazing days at Emilys studio in Haleiwa. It's just a few steps away from all the hotspots at the northshore. Shops, restaurants and the beach are within walking distance. In the studio is everything as described and Emily helps whereever she can. We would definitly come back (again)!

This place was much better than expected and exceeded all of our expectations! Lovely and communicative host, walkable location, very new and clean unit, extremely private, great parking, really really nice place. Cannot wait to come back!!! It was everything we were looking for and more. Thank you!

Kay and the Surf Shack are awesome! The location is great, close enough to walk to historical Haleiwa. Great shops & dining...not to mention across the street from the beach and great sunsets! The Shack was adorable and had all we needed! Cozy & fun! We will come back for sure! Thank you Kay for sharing your tiny piece of Heaven with us! Mahalo!

We absolutely loved Kay's place!! It's so charming and cozy! Easy to walk to town- close to restaurants and shops. My husband and I did not have a car and replied on public transportation, which was very convenient. We can't say enough about the "Surf Shack"! It's small, but she has made such great use out of the space and provides everything you need. It's also right across the street from the beach which was awesome!! Clean, comfortable and cute- you can't go wrong! If we come back to the North Shore, we'd definitely stay here again!!

Kay is such a splendid host! The Surf Shack is the perfect place for a couple's getaway. We loved the city of Hale'iwa and all it had to offer--amazing food, beautiful beaches, great adventures--and this rental fit our needs perfectly. Kay went above and beyond to provide beach chairs and boogie boards and snorkel gear. We felt like new friends when we left!

Kay welcomed me into a clean, well-decorated surf shack on the property with her larger home just steps away from Haleiwa Beach Park. It was small, as advertised, but I loved it! 10min walk from shops and restaurants in Haleiwa. I'd definitely stay here again! Thanks, Kay!

Charmingly cozy bungalow just across the street from gentle beach; privacy screened lanai doubles the space. Full of loving touches in a historic and healing place. Colorful, rustic retreat in a peaceful neighborhood.

Kay's Surf Shack is fantastic and wonderful just like Kay herself! I had epic adventures full of positive energy and good vibes. The Surf Shack is a small studio separate from the main house. All of the basics are provided including, hot shower, flush toilet, futon, storage, and kitchen. The kitchen has a sink, mini-fridge, microwave, hot plate with pot and pan, coffee pot, smoothie blender, and all the utensils required. The photos are accurate. Anywhere on Oahu's North Shore is magical, however, Kay's place is extra special because the beach directly across the street and Haleiwa is a stroll away. I would stay here again!

Kay was a fantastic and hospitable host. The location was fantastic across the road from the beach and a short walk to the Main Street of Haleiwa for shops and restaurants. The shack was a functional space that had all amenities that would be required and was perfect for our trip.

Aloha! Kay's cute little cottage was the best accommodation we could have experienced on Oahu! As a young couple, we were looking for a private little house to call our own. We chose the north shore to get away from the big cities closer to a small-town feel. The cottage is small but roomie for 1-2 people and includes all necessary amenities (free parking, hot water, AC, shower, hot plate, microwave, WiFi, TV, etc). Kay provides towels and a selection of hygiene products for use. The location is PERFECT! I'd give the location 6 out of 5 stars if I could! Halewai is a cute little town that is bustling with little shops and food trucks. A 3 minute walk across the street is a park that has a beautiful beach with dozens of sea turtles. The best time to swim with them is at sunrise or sunset. Kay is gracious enough to provide snorkels and boogie boards for the adventurous residents. Kay is respectful of your privacy and is quick to respond to any questions or concerns. If you need help choosing what to do on the island she's full of knowledge. There is an abundance of hiking, beaches, food, and other exploring close by. Mahalo, Brendan

The Johnson's stand-alone cottage is clean, the kitchen has all the essentials, and we felt fortunate to find lodging on the north shore at the last minute.

The Johnson's are truly amazing people! So welcoming and hospitable. The kind of people you want to be your neighbors forever! We were sad to leave them, and can't wait until we get to visit again. There Guest house had everything we needed, plus much more. My husband stayed up and talked to Jeremiah and loved hearing his island stories. They are right across the street from the ocean when we went over to enjoy the water it was on a Saturday and the beach was not crowded at all. They had great recommendations and really cared that we had a great stay - Can't wait to come back! Thank You!! ~Mary & Curtis

The Johnson family was very welcoming and accommodating. Their hospitality was over the top. Our experience was better than we imagined, location was perfect, and the house met all our needs. Buddy the dog was super cool to hang out with too. We look forward to our next stay! Thank you.

Great little place centrally located in Haleiwa. Everything you would need for a home base while out exploring the north shore. Super close (easy walking distance) to great coffee, food, shopping, grocery store and of course the beach! The Johnson family (and sweet Buddy) were rad. We'll be back!

We had a wonderful stay with the Johnson's. The place was clean, suited all our needs and was in a great location close to lots of lovely shops and restaurants. The atmosphere was great and the family really friendly and we loved their sweet dog Buddy! Definitely stay again and sad to leave. Thanks for an amazing stay xx

Great location only a few minutes walk to the restaurants and shops. On the same property as the owners (separate building) but never saw them and easy to come and go. As others mentioned they have an awesome dog called Buddy who always wants to play and is waiting outside your front door each morning. If you are looking for a central location base for the North Shore this place is ideal. Basic ammentities but I would stay there again when back in that area.

Can't say enough about how wonderful the Johnson family were to stay with. Just the nicest family. We had a blast! Directions and information was well communicated and the description was spot-on. Seriously the best location to experience Haleiwa authentically. The place was clean and adorably decorated. Their dog Buddy was just the sweetest! We'll miss him! We had a minor mishap with our rental car and Jeremiah even got our his tools and helped us fix it. Just a really nice, down-to-earth family. We will definitely stay here again if we make our way back into town and highly reccommend them!!

Friendly hosts and an awesome little place. Thanks so much for having us! Only a 5 minute walk to the centre of town, even less to the beach. And Buddy, the dog who lives in the main house, brightened my day every time I saw him.

The studio is really great, there is all we need, it is fully equiped and very well located in the north shore! Thank you!

Sarah's place is perfectly located in Haleiwa. Super close to the main road of shops and restaurants/food trucks, and the beach, but just far enough away that you get some peace and quiet. It was a fantastic space to stay for a few days, with a fully equipped kitchen, and snorkel/beach gear. Sarah was great with communication when we had any questions. We really enjoyed our stay, and wish we could have stayed a bit longer!

For anyone looking for a quiet, low-key place to stay on the North Shore, Sarah's unit is awesome and I'm looking forward to staying again when I am back on Oahu. The unit is secluded in a quiet neighborhood, but in walking distance of food trucks and the North Shore Marketplace area. The unit is well-appointed. The bed was comfortable, and the kitchen was stocked with utensils, coffee maker, coffee filters, etc. Sarah and her family were lovely and welcoming, and she was very easy to contact. The neighborhood cat is also super friendly. A few notes: highly recommend a car to get around and there are roosters that crow nearby at night/early morning - bring earplugs if you are sensitive to noise.

We loved our stay at Sarah's place. We made good use of the snorkel gear, flippers, boogie boards and beach cruisers while we were there. The kitchen was well equipt, and the room is just as shown in the pictures. There were plenty of towels, and beach gear. Even umbrellas! Loads of travel books, and Chris and Sarah were super friendly and helpful whenever we had questions. Haleiwa is a great location, and from Sarah's place you can walk the quaint village shops. We biked down to turtle beach, and passed all the cars that were in traffic on a long holiday weekend! They provided access to laundry, and allowed us to use the soap as well. It felt like staying with family! Thanks so much, Sarah and Chris!

Sarah and her family were awesome! When we arrived, she greeted us and introduced us to her family. The studio is as described, really quite perfect for our vacation. She was very accommodating and a wonderful host. It's in walking distance to restaurants and shops. I would recommend this studio to anyone travelling to the Haleiwa area.

We had a really wonderful time at the Hardings'. This location is exceptional, and our hosts were truly great!

Sarah and Cris are great hosts, super relaxed and friendly. The Studio was clean and perfectly equipped and the location is very nice, convenient and quiet. We could use all toys and stuff that have, incl. their BBQ. We will definitely come back next time!

A great place to stay on the north shore. Sarah made it really easy for us to check in, we loved the location (walking distance from town) and we had everything we needed ...except for a few more days to enjoy the island.

I LOVED being in Susan and Betsy's newly appointed studio. It suited me perfectly: My eyes were continually pleased with the colors and materials in the studio. I wanted to do just a bit of my own food, and the kitchen has all tools necessary (but no pantry staples as yet). Places to eat out in town were close and varied. I used one of the bicycles on one trip into Haleiwa town. I wanted to walk to the beach and snorkel with turtles, which I did. I could take my snacks and a chair to the sand and sea, and just sit, then bring it all back in a flash, crossing the park-like lot between the studio and the ocean. Check for yourselves if the side yard is fixed up; it wasn't yet in mid-Jan. 2014.

Betsy greeted us when we arrived and showed us around. The space was pretty much as pictured. There are roosters around and they start early. There really isn't much of a place to sit inside in the studio. The big problem we had was the bed, which has a thick foam top and wasn't very comfortable for me.

Beautiful apartment, close to a wonderful beach. Perfect location for visiting the Oahu North Shore.

Room is charming and beautiful, just as pictures show. House is close to Haleiwa city centre and close by from surfing spots. Car is needed. Super clean, even more clean than most of the hotels. Beautiful, good shower, fridge, basically everything you need.

Loved it! Susan and Betsy were great hosts. The space was clean and well appointed as advertised. Beach access was superb.

This little studio apartment was just lovely and came very well equipped. Betsy was so sweet and welcoming upon our arrival, and even gave us a packet of things to do and see on the island. The location is just perfect... we walked to the beach several times and down the street to local restaurants and shops. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place to anyone!

Our first trip to Hawaii was wonderful and our stay in the North Shore area was the highlight. The room was just perfect. It was exactly what we needed. Very comfortable and well stocked. We made good use of the kitchen. It had all the utinsels and cleaning supplies that we needed to cook up some good meals and clean up after ourselves when we were done. Parking was great and access was a breeze. Betsy was delightful to visit with and very helpful in giving us directions around the area. We borrowed the bikes and the boogie boards on separate ocassions and had a lot of fun with them. Thank you Betsy for making your home available to folks like us.

It was a very warm welcome from Betsy an Susan. The room was clean and comfortable. We got a lot of stuff for the Beach and towels as much as we wanted. Thanks for sharing your wonderful paradise. We want to come back. Stephanie & Lennart

Thomas is very friendly, giving us a lot of recommendations. Very comfortable recently renovated house. Perfect location for exploring the north shore, close to all of the beautiful beaches around. We have simply loved it there.

Incredible place to stay! Tomas and Julia were perfect hosts and extremely punctual checking me into their lovely home. Situated in a beautiful neighborhood with quick and easy access to the beach. Would recommend to anyone looking to explore Haleiwa/North Shore!!!

Great space and a great location for a North Shore visit. You can walk to a nice beach nearby or drive to one of the many great surfing/snorkeling sites in the area. Tomás and Julia are excellent hosts, always ready with suggestions for the best local spots. Our guest space felt private and very nice. Highly recommend!

Tomas and his wife were very hospitable in their lovely home. We felt welcome and were very comfortable throughout our stay. They are great hosts! The beach right by their house was an amazing spot to watch the sunset. Their house is centrally located, yet secluded. Would definitely recommend their home!

A beautiful home hosted by 2 very warm, kind, and pleasant people. Steps away from the beach. Room is very cozy, clean, and the whole house is decorated with style and simplicity. Very wuiet neighborhood and home. 5 stars across the board for location, accomodation and hosts. You will not be dissapointed.

Beautiful beach just a few blocks from the house, nicely put together room (snacks and a french press waiting for us when we arrived) and very friendly hosts. Not as easy to get to anywhere other than the beach. We didn't have a car the whole time we were there, and the bus line that runs nearby doesn't run often enough to easily get around by public transit.

We had a lovely, relaxing stay! Very clean, fridge in room great and beach towels a bonus! We had everything we needed. Tomas gave us plenty of space to enjoy our stay!

I had a great stay in their beautiful home. You could tell that it was recently renovated. There was plenty of street parking. The room was stocked with a mini-fridge with bottles of water and snacks as well as things for the beach. Everyone was very relaxed. Check-in and check-out was easy, smooth, and flexible.

Our host was fabulous!!! They were very accommodating and always answered any questions we may have had. They pretty much kept it quiet during the e RBI g and we think it was for our benefit which was greAt!!! They made our trip so much fun and relaxing knowing we had a comfortable and safe place to lay our head!!! The access to the washer and dryer was also a plus! Thank you mahina and cristian. Until next time!!!!

Great little apartment on old plantation land! If you are looking to get away to a residential area away from the tourist spots this is it. Mahina and her children were wonderful. They have plenty of beach supplies and the backyard is a great place to relax. Parking is on street but you are able to pull a small vehicle onto the grass in front of the house.

The most perfect and cozy guest house for our vacation! Exactly like the pictures. Mahina and Christian are super nice and we're willing to accommodate us in any way. Beach towels, chairs, cooler, snorkels were available. Unfortunately, the bikes were out of commission during our trip. Washing machine was available, however we didn't even use it. The only con would be there is no AC, so if you aren't used to that it could be uncomfortable. There is a ceiling fan and a standing fan which were helpful. Overall very positive experience! Hope we have the opportunity to go back!

Great as a base for your stay on the North Shore. The hosts Mahina & Cristian were great when we arrived, the place is in a lovely residential area, and a short drive to some fantastic restaurants. The property itself is a compact studio with everything you will need for your stay, including lots of information about the area, cookware if you decide you want to eat in and it has a great shower. There is no air-con but they do have fans which cooled the room down considerably (we stayed in October). If you do have a lot of luggage it might feel a bit cramped but there is a cupboard where you can store your bags. The one thing to note is that you are staying next to someone's house and it did get a little bit noisy at times but I think that can be expected. Overall a lovely studio in the beautiful North Shore, we thoroughly recommend this cozy Waialua getaway!

Excellent and perfect place with high recommend. Thank you

Overall we enjoyed our stay here. The hosts were friendly and provided us with suggestions on things to do. They offered their snorkelling gear to borrow while we visited the beaches nearby. It's about a 5 min drive into town. The place was relatively clean. Comes with a fridge, toaster oven, and range. It would've been good to have a microwave available as we had some left overs. Overall would recommend for those looking for a stay in a local residential area and within a short driving distance to town.

We were a few days but very comfortable, Mahina and Cristian judiciously recommended the best beaches and places in the area, could use snorkel and beach chairs at our disposal. The house is located in a quiet residential neighborhood near Hanalei, is very charming and true to the photos shown, we had a great stay, 100% forbidden.

This location was perfect for our (way too short) trip to Oahu. Minutes away from Haliewa which is one of my favorite little towns. Amazing food - from the trucks to the cafes to the restaurants. This lovely studio was just what we needed. We arrived late due to flight issues, Cristian was more than welcoming regardless of the hour. This spot is private, cozy, pretty - a very nice space if you're staying ont the North Shore. They left us filtered water infused with lemon and two salads. Although we didn't cook, there was a good selection of cookware and spices in the cabinets. The oils and sprays placed around the studio was great. Lovely and refreshing scents. This is located right off the Kamehameha Hwy which can take you to all the majority of the beaches along North Shore. If you want to get away from the touristy action, this is your spot! Thanks Cristian & Mahina!! We had an excellent time. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

This was our very first experience renting a home through AirBNB and we were extremely pleased. The owners, Clem and Terrie were wonderful. They kept great communication with us, left us a cute welcome note upon arrival, sent us a text a few days in to see if we had everything we needed, and left a very handy handbook for us in the house with everything we needed to know and recommendations for local restaurants and attractions. We stayed in this beautiful home for 8 nights in early July 2017 and were beyond happy with our stay! We were a large group of 5 adults and 3 children (ages 8, 5, 3). This home is located in the absolute perfect place. Private, quiet, unobstructed views of the beach and mountains, but still close to great North Shore attractions and a short drive to Honolulu if you want to spend a day in the hustle and bustle the city. If you are traveling to Oahu to relax and enjoy the beauty of mother nature, this is the home and location for you! The beach is practically private, very little people traffic, even on the the 4th of July and weekends. If you exit the house and walk down to the left there's an area where the reef kept the water at the perfect level for our 3-year old to play in without getting hit by waves, even though the waves we did encounter were so mild our two older children had no problems playing safely in the water directly in front of the house. We saw sea turtles in the water in front of the house EVERY DAY! The large sliding glass doors were a dream. We felt like we were on the beach the whole time we were there. The house is fully stocked with everything you can imagine. Beach chairs, towels, floaties, a fridge on the 1st floor garage level to keep things cool and handy while you grill and chill on the lawn, fully stocked kitchen, etc. I could go on and on. We hope to stay here again when we are able to return to Oahu! Few tips from our stay: -Don't let the narrow driveway fool you, we parked our 8 passenger Ford Expedition in the garage every day without a problem! -We didn't use the air conditioners at all! Figured out the first evening that opening all of the windows was all we needed to let the hawaiian breeze cool the house down! Bonus: You can hear the waves all day and night! -Foodland in Wahiawa is easier to get to and park at than the one is Pupukea. Get the rewards card! -Try the Puffies at the Paalaa Kai Bakery, just about 5 minutes from the house!

We have rented properties all over the world and this one stands out on two levels. First, the property itself is wonderful. The beach out front is soft sand, the snorkeling is fantastic right in front of the property, the view is to die for, and there is a beautiful walk out to a scenic point to the right of the house. The place is extremely well stocked with whatever you might need to cook, have fun at the beach, or just relax. One of our major decision factors was good snorkeling - we saw a wide array of fish and multiple turtles during our August trip. We even watched turtles feeding and entering the water from the beach. The hosts have done everything they can to think of the little things - good pots and pans, soft linens, quality toilet paper (ok, so it's a minor thing, but appreciated), and big comfy absorbent beach towels. Second, the property and its owners are imbued with the spirit of aloha. I hope that I have used the word properly and respectfully. There was a note welcoming us, flowers, snacks and drinks on arrival. There was information about the area and the property readily available and organized. And the owners were more than available - they were responsive, patient, kind, and informative. Is the property perfect? No, but darn close and the new owners are working to make it even more so.

We were a family of 6 adults and 1 toddler (2 years) vacationing in Hawaii for 1 week. I had booked this place a couple of months in advance with a different owner (who never responded to my messages), and was a little bit concerned when 2 weeks before, I received an email saying that the old owners were selling their place to another couple o.0 This made me extremely nervous but it all worked out for the best in the end, as the old owners made zero attempt to communicate with me, but Clem and Terrie were conversely extremely responsive and kind! The property is absolutely beautiful. About a 40 - 50 minute drive from the city, near Haleiwa / North Shore. We LOVED this location! It was away from the hustle and bustle and the beaches here are so much more peaceful. The beach is accessible from the GARAGE / Side walkway, which is incredible!!! They offer everything imaginable for you to be equipped and ready for vacationing. We really appreciated not having to spend the extra money for beach items that we weren't going to take back home. Beach chairs, towels, coolers, boogie boards, some scuba gear, floaties for adults and lifevest. There was a life vest for our toddler, and even beach toys! It gets a little bit hard not to drag sand into the house because it's literally everywhere, but please try your best to rinse off beforehand and take off your shoes!! Details to note -- the home is split into 3 levels accessible by stairs (order lowest to highest): Garage Front Door / Kitchen / living room / balcony + room 1 Master bed / balcony + bunk bed room + laundry room. It is also attached to another home but you don't necessarily have to interact with them unless you'd like. The only shared portion is the garden / beach, driveway, and you can obviously see one another on the balconies. The only downside to this is if during your stay you happen to be next to some rowdy Spring Breakers ;) Also, the garage has 2 park tandem and is very spacious, however it's kind of tricky to park. You have to reverse into the spots. Baby tips -- they had a high chair already set up, a pack & play, and they had a tiny tub attached to the shower in the master bed. Our daughter loved playing in there haha. During our visit, the water in the refrigerator wasn't working, so we had to go out and buy water / ice cubes. Apparently the AC wasn't working either but Clem and Terrie gave us portable AC units in each room so we barely noticed! I messaged them about the refrigerator and outside shower (which was malfunctioning) and they were quick to respond and even came and checked in the next day! Like I said, they were extremely responsive and caring hosts (had a little welcome note and they left...

Our stay at Clem and Terrie's home was very peaceful and enjoyable. The views to the water and the mountains were completely breathtaking and so relaxing every morning just sitting out on the balcony. We found it was a short drive to good restaurants and shops, and the beach out front was so nice to just walk out onto. Clem and Terrie was very communicative and helpful in our booking process.

My group just returned from a 7 night stay here. We loved the location and all of the extras in the house like shampoo, conditioner, seasonings, foil, plastic wrap, trash bags, laundry detergent pods, dryer sheets, toilet paper, beach towels, floaties, beach toys, etc.. Terri and Clem had left us some nice welcome gifts also. The house is about 40 minutes from Honolulu and a short drive from most other locations. It is located on the beach which is awesome. We were able to see sea turtles every day and even saw them underwater while snorkeling. The beach is semi private. There were a few people there at times but nothing like the other beaches with lots of people. We would definitely stay here again! P.S. Getting in and out of the driveway and garage is tricky but you'll get the hang of it quickly.

This place is prefect, location, scenery is amazing, north shore is quiet, neighborhood is quiet. Will stay here again if we return to Oahu. The only issue we had is the Air conditioning not working in the upstairs master bedroom. Made sleeping difficult. Otherwise, we loved it.

The house was perfect, 2 minute walk to the beach and located on a quiet residential street. Haleiwa town is a 15 - 20 minute walk and there are great casual restaurants, a grocery store and some cute shops. House had everything we needed including a great blender. Was nice to have snorkeling sets and a yard! I would definitely stay here again.

This house is within easy walking distance of a secluded beach. The residential neighborhood makes you feel more connected. Everything was very clean, with newly updated kitchen and bathroom. The coffee and chocolates were a lovely touch! The fenced front yard was perfect for our kid to play in. The owner was very responsive when we had a small maintenance issue, and communication was smooth the entire time we were there. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Great location and updated space. Exceedingly smooth process overall with great communication along the way and seamless check-in/out procedure. Would love to stay again for future vacations with my family.

it was greate had every thing i needed she checked in on me to make sure i did not need anything veary clean the birds i was feeding that came by every day probley miss me

My wife, friends, and I enjoyed our stay here. The house itself was clean and comfortable, and the November temperatures were so pleasant that we slept with the windows open (though the roosters could be heard starting around 5am). Public beach access is a short walk away, perfect for some quiet sunbathing during the day or star-gazing at night. We spotted some turtles at Haleiwa Ali'i Beach Park, which is a 2-minute drive away. Haleiwa Town is only a 4-5 minute drive from the house, where you can find lots of nice food spots and boutiques. Our favorite spots were Haleiwa Bowls for acai bowls, Matsumoto's for shaved ice, and Number 808 for clothing. All in all, we liked this place for its cleanliness, comfort, and proximity to a lot of great spots. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Very clean, close to the beach & easy check in. We traveled with 3 couples and the 3 bedrooms were perfect! A great first time using AirBnb

Mariana's place was absolutely fantastic. We felt very at home during our stay and the place is steps away from the beach. There was also lots of stuff at the house that kept us from spending extra cash on toiletries, soap, etc. Thank you for your hospitality.

Four of us has a wonderful 3-night stay at Mariana's place, set in a quiet residential area - a 5min drive, or 25min walk from the shops, cafes and restaurants of Haleiwa. The place was clean, comfortable, well-equipped, had space for parking, and (as described!) was just a few steps to the beach! Would recommend Mariana's apartment for a relaxing stay on the North Shore.

The house was perfectly clean and very well equipped- especially the kitchen. It's set up for a big family to stay in with plenty of space. The beach toys and bikes available are pretty fantastic! There's even sunscreen if you run out. The property manager is very responsive and friendly and all went well for us. The pool area is very nice and in great shape. It's also only a 5 min drive to Haleiwa!

Great place at great locations, we love the pool, perfect to cool down for nice hot afternoon days.

My friends and I stayed at Lenora's and had the best time. The house was beautiful with a ton of space, walking distance to a small beach, while the pool was awesome to have! John was so helpful in checking us in and out of the house, while being available for anything we needed during our stay. I would highly recommend staying here if you are looking for the North Shore experience & I would come back again!

Every thing was good except we did not care for the road noise. Trees and plants were nice and we learned that gecko's don't like noise and by leaving the tv on they will stay out of the living spaces.

Love it ! House was clean and big there was nine of us worked out great. Everything you need in kitchen for cooking and there BBQ by pool. Pool was outstanding we played in pool for hours.private beach walking distance or can bike ride with the bikes on property . We were so happy stayed on north shore

Big house with a pool in quiet neighborhood on the north shore. Well stocked kitchen, plenty of seating, and everything you'd need to have a great week or more with a large group of friends or family.

This house was perfect for us. Very comfortable and felt like home, right down to the interesting selection of books in bookshelves. The check in was so easy, John and his assistant made it effortless. Communication with Lenora was also a pleasure! Many happy hours with my family that had gathered from near and far.

Lenora's home was wonderful for our family. We hung out by the pool, walked to the beach and explored Oahu. The set up of The house itself was great because my husband and I occupied the top portion with our two children under 5 and my parents stayed in the lower level. We had plenty of space and privacy when it was needed but could gather by the pool and in the common areas for meals when wanting to do so. The local property manager is very kind and easy to work with. Thanks for everything!

House was perfect. Close to the beach and the beach was very private. Never saw more than a few people. It had everything we needed. Would stay there again. My daughter stayed with friends at a larger (more expensive) house on the other side of the island and liked our house better because of all the wonderful fans.

Our stay here at Kurt's place was everything we wanted and more. The house had plenty of room, kitchen, nice living room with flat screen tv, washer & dryer and more. This house is in a great neighborhood with easy beach access. Very close to town with plenty of shops and restaurants. My favorite part however was the beautiful beach. Very easy access and quiet beach on the beautiful north shore of Hawaii. Kurt made everything easy and was always available to answer any questions. We will be back to his place yearly!!

Just a short walk down the path to the beach! Location is perfect as well for snorkeling, hiking & north shore shark adventures!! The place is very nice for 5 people. We were able to utilize the kitchen a lot and save lots of money that way! Kurt was a superb communicator & was very flexible w check in and check out times which was very helpful. Super clean home w all you need to enjoy a relaxing vacation!!

There is so much to say about this place. Before we even got there Kurt made us feel the Aloha Spirit! We had everything we needed and then some. Plenty of room for our family of 6. Towels, iron, blow dryer, and everything we needed for the kitchen. There was some stuff in the bathrooms too that was an added bonus. Also the washer and dryer was a great addition that included detergent. Plus an outdoor shower with hot water! The house is literally a 2 minute walk from the beach. We were able to use the kayak, boogie boards, noodles, intertube, and beach chairs everyday! Saved us a ton in rental fees! We were so close to amazing spots too like Dole Plantation, pipeline, Waimea, and Haleiwa beach. The grocery stores are a little far so stop on your way from the airport. Teddys Bigger Burger is awesome and a 20 min drive will get you to Maui Mikes for some amazing chicken. Waialua is beautiful and safe. Definitely the local feel staying at Kurts. We will never stay anywhere else! Mahalo Kurt! We will be back!

Stayed for a week and couldn't ask for more. Place was clean, Kurt got right back to us, and it's right by the beach. Would definitely stay again.

A great place so close to the water. Do your self a favour and escape the ugliness of Waikiki. Come up here to the north shore and get a real taste of Oahu.

Kurt definitely showed us Aloha. If you want to stay in Hawaii as a local this place is it! Kurt's house is better than it was described and pictured in his post. It was steps from the beach and very close to town to get anything we wanted. The location is also an easy drive to anywhere on the island. Everything we needed was provided and more such as bikes, a surfboard, and a kayak - Yes! The backyard shower was awesome after a long day at the beach. The neighborhood was quiet and I felt very safe and comfortable. The neighbors were welcoming and helpful. When I return to the North Shore, I definitely want to stay here again! Thank you so much Kurt for making our stay in Hawaii the best! You are an awesome host!

Kurt's place was perfect for my group! It's a simple home just an easy short walk from the beach. My group of 5 was more than comfortable, 8 people could sleep here just fine. Kurt was a great host and the neighbors were super friendly! Great location with a car or bikes! (The famous Giovanni's shrimp truck is just five minutes away!)

A really great house at a great location in the center. The Girls Lo, Andrea and Rachel are really great hosts, and there is still a really cool dog in the house. For us it was perfect, recommend it to everyone. I thank you again, and I wish you a good time.

Close to beach! Many restaurants and shops nearby!

Great place to stay if you like to walk around the town and try the food truck around there. Lo & Rachel is really friendly and the dog "Mohawk" is very cute.

Hale'iwa is a beautiful town to stay in and we had a great time on the island. First, the positives about the rental: Betsy was very helpful and gave us a quick run-down on the area when we first arrived. The house is conveniently close to shops & restaurants; we also appreciated the privacy of the space, though it is part of the house. As for the rental, we were surprised at the condition: the place looks tired and could use simple updates as well as new carpet and paint; the beds were small, not queen-size.

This apartment is in an excellent location. Just a walk from the main street of Haliewa. I would take a quick job there in the morning. Best of all, you literally can walk down to the beach, which is literally in the back yard, and swim with turtles and some of the most beautiful fishes in Hawaii. Its like having your own private beach. As for the apartment, it is well equipped, rooms are spacious and lots of storage space.

Perfect location - and great apartment. We had such a good time exploring the north shore. Betsy is so friendly and had lots of recommendations! We loved our stay.

Amazing location steps from the beach. Well fitted with all you will need and ten minutes walk to town.

Betsy was a wonderful host. The space was beautiful, clean, and comfortable, and just a few steps away from a perfect little private beach. We saw quite a few sea turtles swimming and sunbathing! Betsy was so kind and helpful, responding to all our needs and giving us great advice on where to eat and explore. Thanks for letting us stay here!

A charming spot just steps away from a beautiful, uncrowded beach--with sea turtles! The space was very clean and comfortable and Betsy was a wonderful host. You can hear the ocean while you sleep at night. Highly recommend!

Great place in a great location. Betsy and Susan were very helpful, friendly, and accommodating. Unit is exactly as described and Haleiwa is a great little town with amazing selection of restaurants. My only minor criticism is the lack of in-unit washer/dryer. However, Betsy offered to let us use theirs if we needed so super accommodating. Winner for sure!

I stayed at Susan's place in February 2013 with three friends for a reunion vacation. It was great and so spacious for four people! The two bedrooms provided ample space for us. The kitchen was also stocked with plenty of dishes and lots of seasonings and basic cooking necessities, such as olive oil. We enjoyed several meals outside on the lanai and took daily walks along the beach. We saw turtles swimming in the ocean in the morning too! The house is really close to the main street in Haleiwa--just a short drive, but also very walkable. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to escape the crowded Waikiki area. The hosts were also incredibly accommodating to our late night arrival--we didn't get to the house until after 10pm. Mahalo for a wonderful vacation!

The place was beautifully designed with even a shower view of the ocean! We did have some trouble checking in, where we were not provided any information days in advance. When we still received no information upon our arrival, we contacted airbnb and luckily Greg responded just shy of the 1 hour limit airbnb provides for a full refund. Place is very clean and has great spare mattresses for extra people in the rooms. Unfortunately the place is not in walking distance to the town of Haleiwa but just a short 5 minute drive.

Great room and wonderful host. I will be back.

New, nicely decorated unit.

A place of rest is accurately described! The room was clean and amenities provided! Can't beat the great deal for solitude in such a beautiful place! Greg is an awesome host! He quickly responds if anything is needed. Which actually, I didn't need to communicate with him until my last day to ask about the check out procedure. He quickly replied back with the most simple check out procedure! I loved it there! And I can't wait to go back and stay there again!

Greggs property was lovely. Everything looks exactly the way it looks like from the pictures. The room is perfect and spacious and the area is very secluded. What a wonderful time I had while I was there. :-)

The host canceled this reservation 6 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

This is our second stay at Greg's places. We love the spot - secluded on a hillside within a five min drive to Haleiwa shops and restaurants and 10-20 min to Pipeline etc other beaches and breaks. These new units are great. Some have AC and some don't, we understand. We don't mind the lack of ac and knew the neighborhood has both lots of wildlife (birds frogs roosters) sounds as well as a couple dogs across the street who sometimes bark a lot. Something to know if you're sensitive to noise. The room was lovely, but like some other reviewers noted - the sound insulation is weak. There are two private united downstairs main level and then three bedrooms and kitchen as part of one rental on the second and third floors. We had a nice family above us, but could still hear them walking around and it would wake us up if someone came in late. That said, You probably won't find a better price for location. We had a great vacation.

Greg was an amazing host and overall great guy. Very personable and helped me get situated into our space. The BNB was clean and had everything we needed. It was a great location as we wanted to be near the shops and restaurants and that was just a few minutes drive. We enjoyed our stay, and it made Haleiwa a great experience!

Jeremy and Jessica are new to the AirBnB community, however their property is a great new addition on the North Shore of Oahu. Minutes from Hale'iwa Beach. The apartment is super clean and modern, with all the amenities. The views are spectacular, and the neighbors are all very quiet, but friendly. We love the dogs, Adira and Abner! We would definitely stay here again!

We had an overall great stay. Arrival instructions and description of amenities were clearly communicated. Beautiful morning view. No A/C, but this is just fine for Hawaii because there is a constant island breeze, and ceiling fans were all we needed.

LOVED staying here! Amazing backyard view and very clean spacious place! It definitively lived up to our expectations. There are three airbnb apartments right next to each other all rented out by the same person, and this one, in our opinion, is the best of the three because it is on the end so we never had to worry about anyone walking by our windows! It felt very private. The fans are super strong which really helped keep away the heat. There is a closet area with plenty of room to hang up clothes and the washer/dryer was nice to be able to use. We also really loved the small town of Haleiwa just a short drive down the street. Would stay here again for sure!

Jeremy was an awesome host and the space is killer!! Close to restaurants, great beaches for surfing and swimming, and equipped with a full kitchen - a luxury around here. Loads of privacy. Highly recommended!!

My adult daughter and I were pleasantly surprised with the privacy, security and serenity this place offers. The unit was clean, modern and very comfortable, especially the memory foam king mattress. We'll be back the next time we visit Oahu. Highly recommend for couples who wish to stay out of Waikiki and near the North Shore.

Jeremy and Jessica's place is peaceful and super convenient for discovering the North Shore. Jeremy and Jessica were very responsive and helpful, and their dogs are super cute! The washer and dryer is a nice bonus. We did not use the kitchen but it had everything one might need to cook.

~~ Beautiful accommodation on the North Shore. There ballin farmhouse in secluded woods. But the birds in the morning is fabulous. Home owners are friendly and very private. There is also well equipped with cooking utensils. Ahswiwotda just because the ice is freezing mechanism. Kitchen is also spacious. Air conditioning is cool, but it never felt the need stars. I recommend that you rent the car. Spacious parking lot. It is safe from the outside. Helreyi bar until about 10 minutes by car, 15 minutes Waimea there. Is where you want to search again! Oh I ate a mango mango tree had fallen from a real taste of the best. And keungae of two dogs in the house because I was scared at first, but the house was no need to fear very gentle. Then by all means I want to go back.

Jeremy and Jessica's apartment was exactly as described. It was very clean, close to the North Shore, and in a quiet, peaceful location. They have a couple of dogs that roam the property, but they are super sweet. I would definitely stay there again.
