The family is very kind and welcoming and the studio is really charming, comfortable, secure, and well-equipped. It's exactly as pictured. The location couldn't be better. You can walk into town to wine, dine, and shop at dozens of unique restaurants, boutiques, and galleries. You won't find these types of places in commercial, over-crowded Waikiki. You can walk across the street and surf and hang out at famous Ali'i Beach, and dozens of other beautiful beaches and surf breaks for all surf/swim/snorkel abilities are just minutes away. If you want to experience Waikiki, it's only a 45 minute drive--IF you avoid rush hour. Beach towels, beach chairs, and beach umbrellas are provided. So are any items left in decent condition by prior renters--for my stay these included boogie boards, snorkels, sunscreens, lotions, bug repellent and regular umbrellas. I've stayed in over a dozen private vacation rentals on the North Shore, and Hale Kaupe is by far my favorite. Aloha!

Hale Kaupe II is a great room with all the amenities that you'll need. It's located in the perfect location to explore North shore, Hale'iwa has the world famous Matsumoto's shaved ice (don't call it a snow cone) and the best beaches are only a short drive away. We were able to easily discover all the island's hidden spots from here. We would totally airbnb Hale Kaupe II anytime we're back on the Oahu!

Thanks so much for a tremendous stay. Great location, great amenities, well equipped supplies in the kitchen, snorkels beach towels, chairs. Loved the outdoor shower. Would stay again in a heartbeat. Keep up the good work. Excellent value for money. Cheers Deni from Australia.

We had the pleasure of staying here for five nights in mid-May, and we had a WONDERFUL experience! The location is one of the best parts here, which we knew going into the trip, but there were so many other huge pluses as well. The accommodations were clean, spacious and exactly as they appeared from the photos. Even the way the space was decorated was adorable and had all of these great Hawaiian touches (loved the pineapple ceiling fan)! The bed was luxurious with nice sheets. The guide books in the room were helpful, and umbrella/chairs/boogie board/snorkel equipment were great with a beach directly across the street. Walking distance into many shops in Haleiwa. Room also came stocked with essentials...aloe, alcohol wipes, bar soap, kitchen knives, plates/bowls, etc. all came in handy. There was even an electric frypan, electric burner, etc., if you wanted to do more cooking; we didn't make use of this but it was nice that it was there. Also a huge closet with ample storage, and TV was good to have for winding down in the evenings. Lanai is huge and private, which we appreciated/spent lots of time on. Really great overall time here; would (and definitely will) return!!

First time trying airbnb, our host was very friendly and they had everything setup and ready for us. It was an awesome experience and would definitely recommend this place to anyone.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here - tranquil and yet close to town and the beach. The apartment was exactly as described and the host family was wonderful. I loved eating breakfast and dinner out on the private lanai. I would definitely stay here again and will encourage my family and friends to check into it as well.

We had a great stay at the north store. The studio and the location were perfect for us. It would be awesome to come back again in the future because we were absolutly happy with our decision to stay at Hale Kaupe II. If you are looking for a great studio and nice hosts then stop searching and get in contact with Garcia Ohana...you will not regret it.

Cosy and clean accommodation in an excellent location. Could not have asked for more. 5 stars.

Great hospitality. Amazing jungle / nature location. Surprisingly convenient location. Very clean, quiet and private. I would definitely stay again!

I would definitely come back to this place when I visit Haleiwa again. Very friendly and helpful host. Great location and clean, well organized studio. My small baby also loved staying there.

We stayed with Sarah for a 1-week vacation, and had a wonderful experience! The studio is perfectly located in Haleiwa - tucked away on a residential street that is peaceful, yet a short drive or walk to downtown. The studio is very comfortable had a number of extras, like beach towels and an umbrella, that really came in handy when we visited the nearby beaches! On our trip, we drove around the entire island several times, and came to the conclusion that this was the most beautiful area. The close proximity to fantastic spots like Turtle Beach, Shark's Cove, and Waimea Bay was amazing. Sarah and her family were always welcoming and kind - thanks for a great stay!

Sarah and her family were absolutely lovely. The accommodation represented exactly what was shown in the photos. It was spacious, compact yet very cosy. Great location to explore the North Shore of Oahu and very easy to find and get your way around. We drove and walked to the main street of the town and found no troubles at all. Would definitely recommend staying with Sarah, she made our stay very inviting, comfortable and no stress :)

This place was exactly what my husband and I were looking for: well located and comfortable. Sarah and her family were very welcoming and the room had towels, guide books, and almost everything you'd expect from home. Oh, bring ear plugs for the roosters that crow from about midnight to 8 am. We were used to it (and had ear plugs) so it wasn't a big deal, but if you're a light sleeper, be advised.

Sarah's place is a perfect place to call "home" for your visit to Oahu's North Shore. It's basic and all you need in paradise. Close by to restaurants and shops in Hale'iwa and a short leisurely drive to a whole string of beaches as you head to the east. Don't miss the garlic shrimp trucks/farms a short way past Turtle Bay resort.

This studio was exactly what we hoped it would be. We had a private space which was comfortable and well equipped. Sarah is the ideal host, she was very helpful when I needed some assistance with the planning of my itinerary and she welcomed us back for the future - so we plan to be back one day! The studio is peaceful, spacious for two, and has everything you need while passing through the North Shore. It is also very close to shops and food outlets, and about 15 minutes from some very popular surf breaks. We would definitely recommend Sarah's BnB to others if you're looking for a quiet and convenient place to stay.

When we arrived at the check in time and address given by the host, we found 4 separate houses on the property and had no idea which one had our host. There was nobody in the first 3 houses. A man building a new fence mentioned the owners had gone overseas ! I tried to call Sarah again and left a message. We found ourselves quite distressed not knowing what was going on or where to go. About 40 minutes later, and after going shopping, I tried calling Sarah again and this time she answered (to our relief). She said she was in California and explained a lady called Heather should be at the house to let us in. She then gave us clear verbal instructions on exactly where to go, which was a relief. She also mentioned that her partner Chris would be arriving in 3 days time and would be able to assist us if we needed anything. We drove back and found the right place and let ourselves in. No sign of Heather. The space was exactly as described and really wonderful for our stay. A fridge, bathroom, double bed, cable TV, and very comfortable sofa. The location is ideal being a bit in the country and yet close to Haleiwa township.

Lovely little studio. We enjoyed being able to use it as a home base while exploring the North Shore.

Had a short but excellent break at Damon's place. The bungalow is clean, convenient and comfortable. Neibourhood with good atmosphere. We hope to come again. The North Shore is really nice. Laurent

Damon's place was perfect. The location is ideal - a quiet, sleepy street literally across the road from one of the best surfing beaches on the North Shore. The town is small and not full of tourists. The studio itself had all we needed and was very clean.

Damon was easy to communicate with, provided beach and snorkel gear, and his place was well-stocked and looked new and very clean!! It was perfect for our needs!

The place was beautiful, spacious, and clean. The floor had a nice gloss over it so it was smooth and cool feeling. The bed was comfortable and we really enjoyed our stay here.

Everything like expected or even better. Ten times better then a hotel!

Damon was very nice. The neighborhood was quaint and perfectly located across the street from the beach park - that description could not be more accurate. Within walking distance to Haleiwa Joes for cocktails and dinner with soft top surfboards and more, but I only spent one night there. Clean studio with big bed and air conditioner, car port parking for one car.

This guesthouse was perfect for me. I enjoyed being able to park my car and walk to the beach, breakfast, bars, shops. It was bright and clean, and the bed was comfortable. Air-con was an option, but I loved being able to open the windows and let the breeze blow through. A great stay!

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 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!

Your place in paradise is a gem of a spot! Your basically central walking distance to everything you need. Its tastefully furnished and has a cozy home vacay feel to it. The bed is super comfy and the shower pressure is awesome too! Brian & his family warmly welcomed us upon arrival & they gave us tips on where to go out that night for live music. Brian also gifted us fresh picked mangos and papayas! Mahalo

Haleiwa is a great little beach town with friendly people, and Brian's place is right in the middle of it. Numerous shops, beaches, and restaurants are all within walking distance. More world famous north shore beaches are just a drive away. The studio was the perfect size for the two of us. A full kitchen, small bath, and cozy bedroom with a couch. It was the perfect headquarters for our north shore adventures.

Brian's Haleiwa Hale is a super clean, modern newly renovated beach style unit. The unit is in a fantastic location, with a 7 eleven on the corner, the beach and boat harbour a street away and all of Haleiwa's shops and eateries within a very easy walk. The unit is well equipped with a full kitchen, fantastic granite shower and the comfiest bed ever! After a 10 hour flight and a day of exploring the island, we had the best sleep ever. The location is very quiet and you can come and go when you wish without disturbing the hosts. We had our own parking spot and found driving around Haleiwa and the island very easy. That saying, everything you need is within walking distance of Brian's place. Brian is a great host and a really interesting guy who has much to offer if you have time for a chat. This was our first international Airbnb experience and we wouldn't hesitate coming back. If you are fotunate enough to be planning a trip to beautiful Hawaii, make sure you visit Brian's place and see Haleiwa. Its seriously a hidden gem!

Brian was a great host! Check in was nice and easy, we also liked the coded door lock it was nice not having to worrying about keys. There is heaps of room to park at the front of the property. The unit is clean and tidy. Brian has done a great job with the renovations to the property. The kitchen has everything you need if you have to cook and the bed is super comfy. You couldn't find a better location in Haleiawa. It is walking distance to shops, restaurants, supermarket and the beach. There are heaps of good dining options. Haleiawa itself is perfect if you want to explore the north shore. It's a short pleasurable drive up to all the famous surf breaks on the north shore and still close to the city. All in all a great 2 weeks at Brian's highly recommend!!

Perfect location to discover the beaches and towns of North Shore. Brian is super helpful and friendly and the place is clean, ideally located and has everything you need for a beach holiday for two. Would definitely stay here again!

Wow! The north shore is amazing and this airbnb was perfect. Clean, quiet and centrally located we really couldn't ask for more. All around wonderful stay!

Brian's place is perfectly located -- close to beaches, restaurants, and shopping. Brian is a great host, always happy to provide suggestions of places to go and things to do. He has kids and is good at thinking of options that will work well for children as well as adults.

Brian's place was perfect for my little family of 3. Cozy and close to everything in Haleiwa. Brian was very accommodating and his family are lovely. Would stay again!

We had a lovely stay in Haleiwa. The location of the studio was great as it was close by to lots of tasty places to eat as well as some beautiful beaches. The studio was nicely presented, spacious and tidy. Steph and Alex were helpful hosts and made us feel welcome.

Very nice clean studio. Close to walk to town. Has laundry which is great for being in the water and sand all day.

I stayed at Alex's studio for two nights and loved it! The studio had everything I needed and was really clean and nice. I managed to wash and dry some clothes that was really useful too. Alex was really helpfull when I was trying to find the studio he even picked up! The studio is in a great location too just round the corner from the main strip of Heleiwa, lots of good places to eat and interesting shops. It's about a mile to the beach and again a nice walk! Thanks Alex!

He was very kind and nice. His place was perfect. It was very clean and nice. If you wanna visit north shore his place would be perfect.

Amazing studio! Spacious and clean. The beach and shops are both just a stroll away.

We really enjoyed our stay at Alex's. He was very accommodating with our check-in which was much appreciated. The bikes were an amazing way to explore the area! Nice quiet accommodation, and tons of room. We also really enjoyed the food options in the area and public transport was very easy to use for watching the surf comps at pipeline.

We and my wife had a perfect stay at the studio. The studio is very well located, new, clean and fully equipped. The best part of our stay was the receptivity and attention given by Alex and his wife. Alex also gave us excellent tips for our stay at the North Shore. We wil be back as soon as possible!

Alex's place was exactly as advertised -- clean, new and the host was super communicative and allowed us to stay an extra night when our flight was cancelled. Plus there is a McDonald's for breakfast 2mom walk which was great.

The location is amazing. It is just south (walking distance) of downtown Haleiwa and a short walk through a grass field to a private section of the beach. The first thing we did is jump in the ocean. The space is better than described. It says Private Room, but I'm pretty sure you guys can list it as Entire House. It has a completely private entrance, and you don't have to see or talk to the hosts if you don't feel like it. The studio is super duper clean, and both Susan, and her darling mother, Betty, are the bestest hosts. I think this is a fabulous deal, and highly recommend it if you can find an available date.

Susan and Betsy were both very sweet and welcoming! The room had everything we needed to enjoy our stay - private bathroom, kitchenette, linens, beach supplies. It is a very short walk to the beach! It is only a few miles to the town round trip. It is a great area with a lot of shops, restaurants, and grocery store.

Incredible hosts, only seconds from the beach, what more could you need? Loved it!

We loved our stay here. Beautiful beach right out back. Perfect location. Comfortable bed and everything we needed. Great host too!

Susan's and Betsy's place was absolutely gorgeous. Very cozy and clean room, my girlfriend and I felt right at home. I'm a beach bum at heart and could of spent my whole vacation at the beach so I loved that the back gate opened up to a short walk right up to a pretty unpacked beach. Not a fan of the tourist packed beaches so this was an awesome surprise to have a beach you can walk to and just sit and enjoy the view. Also the snorkeling at the beach was a lot of fun and there are a ton of hono (green sea turtles) right along the outside edge of the first reef. Lastly, my girlfriend and I have absolutely no grips about the room. It was gorgeous. No a/c but come on, you're in Hawaii with a gorgeous breeze coming off the ocean. Having all the windows open and fan on made that room feel perfect. We defiantly will be booking again with Susan on our next visit.

Super awesome rental. Private, clean and the best part is a quiet beach is just out the back gate.

Perfect stay. The room was private and clean with very nice decor. The best part was the location - minutes from town and a very short stroll across a field to a quiet beach (complete with sea turtles!). They also provide beach gear so you don't have to bring anything (towels, chairs, cooler, umbrella etc.) I will come back for sure. Owner was very friendly and happy to give local info and suggestions.

Thank you Susan! Our visit was amazing. The studio was immaculate with everything we needed. Proximity to the beach and town was perfect. Hope we will be able to come back to the N. Shore soon. Thank you!

Great place to call home for a few days on the North Shore. Five minute walk to great restaurants and touristy stuff. Across street from a huge beach park with awesome sunsets! Hosts were friendly and helpful and their dog "Buddy" made us feel at home.

This location is amazing! Haleiwa is a lovely, happy town! The house is a very short walk from restaurants, shopping, coffee shops, shaved ice, etc. We enjoyed waking up each morning and jogging down the quiet Haleiwa Rd. Surfing opportunities just across the street. And various tours from the Harbor are also just across the street, such as shark cage diving, whale watching, deep sea fishing, etc. We enjoy the shark cage diving from Shark Encounters! We love Haleiwa and we loved this location! Family is very friendly, including their sweet dog Buddy.

At the risk at sounding cheesy, the Johnson's home is perfection. A short walk across the beach to watch the sunset and to see turtles on the shore. It's also a short walk around the block for shopping and restaurants It feels completely safe and the family makes it feel like your second home. Their dog is completely lovable (he almost came home with us). I can't wait to visit again!

The Johnson family is rad! Accommodated us on short notice. Great value for the money and you can't beat the location across from Ali'i Beach Park.

Convenient location right in front of Ali‘i Beach and the park/marina. Great private parking setup. Full kitchen, comfy bed, and nice big shower. Cool hosts! They have a half pipe and the sweetest cocker spaniel!

Great location! Description and pictures held true to the actual home. Quaint, clean, and everything we were hoping for during our stay. Hosts were welcoming and always available for questions or needs. It was a great deal and we were very pleased with our purchase.

Shinobu and her husband were awesome hosts, they opened their doors with a days notice of our arrival due to problems with a different Airbnb host. We felt very welcomed from the moment we got there and their kids were great with our three year old. The house was very clean, private and cozy with the sun shining through the bedroom window every morning. Located across the street from a very lovely beach park in a rad surfing town with some amazing veiws. We will be back!

The home is perfect. The dog Buddy is everything he's cracked up to be from the other reviews. Walking distance to everything you need.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The location was amazing. Walking. Distance to beach, shops, restaurants, grocery store. Suite was a bit tight, but would go back again.

excellent n shore accommodation!!

This cute getaway was perfectly located for anyone wanting to surf as the beaches were right across the street and a short paddle away. The quaint town of Haleiwa was right around the corner and provided all we could need from great shops, restaurants and rental places. The studio was private and had a nice patio to sit on to start and end your day. The pond behind the studio provided lots of entertainment but bring your earplugs The hosts were available for any questions and the studio was stocked with all your basics including beach chairs, a welcome basket and bug spray! Thanks for the great holiday!

I really enjoyed the town. Everything was really convenient walking distance from the house. I loved how quiet it was at night, even with the frogs and birds, it was so relaxing. The apartment is very cute, great use of a small space. Thank you.

Nico's place was an amazing place to stay in Haleiwa! Arrival instructions were very clear and checking in was super easy with Nico. The place is just around the corner/walking distance to the Haleiwa tourist strip which has a lot of great restaurants, food trucks, shops, groceries, and most important, shave ice! It's also so close to the water. Take a short walk down the beach to find a quiet spot to set up for an afternoon of relaxing. It's also a quick drive to some scenic walks/hikes along the ocean. The place itself is a detached guest house with french doors that open onto a small pond with wildlife. Very private and quiet. I would recommend staying here to anyone! Thanks to Nico and Caleb for being very friendly hosts!

We had a great stay at this place! The location is fantastic, you can see the beach from the driveway, and the check in was a breeze. The studio itself is the perfect size for 2 people, and we really appreciated the guide books and snacks. Nico and Caleb were great hosts, always checking in to make sure everything was ok. Highly recommend!

Nico was really helpful and place was just as described. Would definitely recommend and come back again. Location was great really in Haleiwa everything is walkable!

This is a perfect location for a single person or couple. Within a couple minutes walk from the beach and from downtown Haleiwa. I would describe the space as a detached grandmothers suite-Hawaii style. Everything you need (kitchen, bathroom, dining, bed, etc) with privacy from the main house on property. Very clean and well appointed. The space felt fresh and updated. If you are looking for a North Shore basecamp within walking distance from awesome shops and restaurants, you can't go wrong. Hosts were great. Excellent communication.

Spacious, nice house, close to lovely Hale'iwa and fantastic beaches. Recommended!

The property was recently remodeled and is in great condition. We have stayed in other North Shore properties. Carol's property is exceptionally clean and well maintained.

Roomy, clean and ideally located! Nice stroll into Haleiwa and great beach opposite. Has everything you need except a tv /DVD player but who needs it anyway ! Nice break !

Carol's place is on a quiet street that is right near the town of Haleiwa and is waking distance to the beautiful beach and premier surf spot Haleiwa Ali'i beach! The house was clean and spacious and we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again sometime!

Quiet, modern and well-designed flat. Perfect for a north shore escape!

Carol is a great host! Helpful and available, but gave us our privacy too. We are in love with Hale'iwa. Such a great feel. House was clean and beds super comfy after a hard day beaching, eating and shopping. Mahalo!

5 stars across the board, quiet, clean, kid friendly, a beach across the road and any kind of shop you can think of just a few mins away! Carol was the most amazing host and made us feel so at home, privacy was never an issue but she was always available to help with any questions we had!!! Can't wait to stay there again!!

We loved the place! It is a lower level of a two - story house, with a big walk out lanai area. The hosts - Carol and her family - live on the upper level themselves, they are super nice, and half to answer questions. The house and the living area is obviously very recently renovated. Three bedrooms and a common area open to the kitchen. We stayed with two kids and a friend, so three adults, and we were very comfortable. Very nice beach is about two minutes walk, just across the street. It has both sand and enough Reef for snorkeling. Also, the reef covers from big waves, good for the kids. We checked out a lot of famous beaches in the area, and the one across the street is a really good combination of everything. Нам очень понравилось у Кэрол. Это жилье - нижний этаж двухэтажного дома. На верхнем этаже живёт сама хозяйка с семьёй, легко можно спросить её если что-то нужно. Дом очевидно только что отремонтировал, внутри все свежее, удобное. Три спальни и гостиная с кухней в углу. Нам, трём взрослым и двум детям, было удобно. Хозяева очень доброжелательные, приветливые. Помогают советами, подсказывают что и как. Отличный пляж через дорогу, минута или две пешком. Там есть все понемногу : и песок, и риф с рыбами, и вроде даже черепаха, но черепаху мы не застали. Мы объехал много знаменитых пляжей в округе, и пляж рядом с домом - один из лучших.

Cristo's place is so great! I was sad I was only there for 3 nights. It was a great, clean place to stay & the other room was occupied by an awesome person from Germany. Definitely recommended for any solo travelers.

Enjoyed Cristobal's home very much. Cris goes the extra mile to make sure your comfortable....Aloha

I loved staying at Chris' place! I've stayed at many AirBnbs around the world, and this is genuinely the most 'at home' I've felt, which is important as a solo female traveler. Chris is so kind - he had a couple of friends over for a BBQ the night I arrived, and they specially made sure I had veggie food to eat :) was so much fun!

Great host and great spot to explore Haleiwa and North Shore from. Comfortable bed and home. Easy to relax there; Christobal made us feel very welcome. Thanks.

All round a great stay and great host. I hope to make it back to North Shore someday and would definitely stay with Chris again.

I had such a lovely time at Cristobal's place! He's a lot of fun, and is incredibly helpful! Haliewa is beautiful and the location is ideal. Will definitely come back!

Cristobal was a great host, down to let me practice my Spanish with him and is super easygoing and friendly. There is a little bit of traffic noise but Haleiwa gets quiet pretty quickly at night. It's super easy to walk to great shops, restaurants and the beach in Haleiwa and you can take a bus quickly to spots on the North Shore.

If you're wondering if this is the right airbnb for you, is it! Christobal's place is absolute perfect for everything you need while staying on the north shore. I loved the location and how easy it was to walk around Haleiwa. Haleiwa was a fun little town to stay in. There's some great restaurants, cafes and you are in very close proximity to the beach. Chris was a great host, very flexible, accommodating and laid back. I arrived a bit later than expected at the north shore and he was super cool about it. VERY happy I ended up staying at his airbnb. Would without a doubt stay here again!

Lori and Tunji's little bungalow by the sea was perfect for my wife and I. We were celebrating our one year anniversary and got to stay with friends for the first four days of the week. The last two nights we booked the Simple Serenity by The Sea and loved it. Lori & Tunji were extremely helpful and Lori personally greeted us when we arrived. She was on time and there were no hiccups. The two of them were quick to reply to my texts when I had any questions. The little bungalow is very "simple." It is semi-secluded (two other families live on the property) and is all open air. There are screens but no windows. Also just a heads up, at night - with the light on - everyone could see into the home even though you cannot see out. Overall we were extremely happy with the place; it was perfect for what we desired. It's very inexpensive compared to other rentals places listed. It's is rustic, but that was part of it's charm. The best part was the little garden and hydroponics set up. Haliwa is a great little town on North Shore and was fun to explore.

A little paradise, with simplicity & comfort. A special place ❤ The bungalow is located on a private road just minutes from town & is surrounded by a small fruit orchard & a garden. I was greeted with a sampling of fresh fruits & a fresh coconut full of water. Roosters & doves greet the morning. Inside the bungalow is a half fridge, double hot plate, sink, very comfortable bedding. Kitchen is well stocked. Microwave too. Outside is a picnic table & portable grill. The shared bath house is a short walk away with a shower & a very spacious bath tub. On the property you can book a massage, & acupuncture treatment with two very professional practitioners. Within walking distance is a beautiful surfing beach, county park, shops, restaurants, cafes, art galleries, surf shops, paddle board rentals. The North Shore has everything for a perfect holiday. The Bus stops are located on the main road & can transport you around the island. Enjoy ! Hosts are great communicators & I very much recommend.

The house was exactly as described.Their friendly caretaker Vern welcomed us and stayed out main contact. the house is located on the property so that we had perfectly our privacy but still were around the other houses. they have a beautiful garden with all kinds of fruits and vegetables you can partly pick yourself. we were able to BBQ by the house which was amazing. the house is located just perfect, you can walk Into town or to the next beach or you can start there to explore the area by car. the highway running along right behind the property goes along the coast and connects all important beaches and locations. i can highly recommend this place. thanks guys.

Amazing! So cute and close to everything. We had such a wonderful time!!

The mango bungalow is a perfect place, so lovely and calm. It is placed in a really nice area where it is easy to get around. Lori and Tunji are the greatest hosts. Really helpful and friendly.

The bungalow is great for anyone who wants an alternative to hotels but not quite prepared to camp. It had everything you needed, a comfy bed, running water, mini kitchen with hot plate, mini fridge, patio with chairs, hammock, lights and a ceiling fan and so many cute animals running around the property. If you are interested in organic farming or alternative medicine you really should consider Lori and Tunjis place, they are running a lovely farm just a short and pleasant walk from Haleiwa town. We loved our stay there and hope to come back one day! You really can't beat the price for such a central but private location on the north shore. Just know it is a functioning farm so you may hear a few chickens or kitties scurrying around in the morning but that's what was so charming about it. And you'll get some yummy seasonal treats from the wild gardens they have on the property. Thanks Lori and Tunji! Keep living the dream :)

What a fantastic time we had in our private little mango hut. It is a really lovely location with a lovely host. Thanks we really didn't want to leave.

My girlfriend and I wanted a quiet relaxed experience away from Honolulu and that is exactly what we found. We were considering tent camping over in Laie but this was camping on steroids. Clean and tidy interior of both sleeping quarters and restrooms. Plenty of cookware in the small kitenette for all your chef needs. Grill outside with plenty of chairs to relax in there beautiful gardens. Everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful! Would love to come back on our next visit in Haleiwa!

Staying at Cab's was fantastic. He's got a lot of enthusiasm for permaculture as well as for culture. It was great having conversations with him while eating his delicious breakfasts made from food from his garden and nearby. He also had some great recommendations for things to see and do while on the North Shore.

Food for the soul. This was exactly what I needed after some really long trips. To just stop and be in the moment. If you're looking for pressed linens and fancy surroundings, stay in Waikiki and save yourself the 45 minute drive North, if you want to experience island life with a local flair, then stay here. Cab is a wonderful person, truly connected to the universe. The vegetation on the property makes some of the best smoothies I've ever had in my life. If Cab makes a recommendation, take it, he knows the island, knows the best spots and will ensure you have the time of your life.

The host was extremely welcoming and is a fantastic host who knows the area very well. The listing is a laid back house right in the heart of Hale’iwa, walking distance to most of the best restaurants/food I found on the North Shore. I found it very convenient for access to the nearby beaches (Hale’iwa and Waimea Bay) and the garden Cab has in his yard provides him with a great variety of fruit that he had no hesitations about sharing with the guests.

Cab was a fantastic host! He's incredibly hospitable and welcoming, very flexible to our schedule, and has a wealth of knowledge on food and health! We loved his yoga class, conversations over delicious "real" food breakfasts, the mini jungle in the backyard and having the bikes! He also helped us find an awesome surfing instructor and make great restaurant recommendations in the area. The location is right in the heart of Haleiwa and the entire town was just a few minutes away by bike. It was a fantastic experience; I highly recommend staying here!

Good location

It was a different chill vibe for sure. I was a bit disappointed to not meet Cab because I chose his place based on all the reviews about him. His friend John was really sweet and did everything he could to make me feel welcomed.

Cab is AMAZING!!! He is the most friendly, genuine guy with such an amazing outlook on life. His house is just as described and he welcomes you and the other guests with open arms, making you feel like his house is your house. He gave us a great dinner recommendation and other tips about places to go while in Haleiwa. But most of all, the breakfast he prepared for us was just INCREDIBLE!!! He prepared a ton of amazing fruits that he grew on the property, made delicious coffee, along with eggs/spinach/avocado. But even more than the food, his company is just so enjoyable. This is the coolest place I have ever stayed with through Airbnb and I can't recommend it enough. If you want a unique, cozy place to stay with the most amazing host, this is the place for you!!!

Cab will make you feel at home, welcome and free to do whatever you came to do in Haleiwa very quickly, his place is unpretentious and will give you an authentic experience, everything is clean and there is an eclectic mix in his home. He has the knowledge and passion to share whats interesting for those curious about what grows around a tropical home garden as Cabs place is surrounded by one and hel is willing and excited to share with you these delights. His place is close by bike or car to surf beaches and hiking at Kaena point a 15 minute drive away. It feels like everything at Cabs place and about Cab is related to feeling at ease and enjoying what surrounds you whilst being free to do what you want and comming in and out of a safe home. It was so nice at Cabs place and Cab is such a nice and accomodating relaxed and interesting person that I changed my trip plan and went back to Haleiwa and Cabs.

What can I say but "perfect". The balcony looks directly at the ocean, which is directly outside. The home is clean and beautiful!!! Nic is top notch , everything is laid out so when you get there you simply walk in and start to enjoy North Shore paradise!!! The town of Haleiwa is amazing as well , with lots of great eats. Definately worth it, thank you Nic , had a great stay at your place!!

Aloha Nic!! Thanks for all!! It was perfect!!! We loved your studio!! Mahalo nui loa!!

Fantastic. Everything was great from the communication to the place. It was a wonderful way to spend Xmas. Thanks Nic.

There was a problem with the tv when we got there. The manager was already aware of it and had begun the process of remedying the situation. We were provided adequate towels and enough kitchen ware that we could do the amount of cooking we wanted while on vacation. Swimming in the ocean first thing in the morning was wonderful! We will return.

The location of this airbnb was great! We loved having DVDs to watch and a great patio to hang out on. However, the apartment was pretty dusty, especially the bedroom. If you looked under the bed there were large dust bunnies and dirt. Also, the walls are extremely thin and there is major construction happening next door so it is loud. The owner mentioned that there was air conditioning in the bedroom, but you had to figure out how to set it up yourself...not helpful! Also, the tv is damaged and isn't in the best working conditions if you are looking to unwind at night...which is probably something you would do on the north shore since many things close. Would i stay here again...not for the price and we have traveled to many not so luxurious locations and had great airbnb experiences.The price was not worth it...you can definitely find better.

Thank you Nic! This was a great place! Super clean, wonderful view, and everything was easy to get to from this location. Will definitely stay again when I come to north shore.

Nics beach front apartment was beautiful!. Amazing views with the ocean right out back. The apartment is the perfect size and had everything we needed for stay. Nics place in Haleiwa is beautiful place to stay, close shops and resturants. Short drive to famous surf spots. We enjoyed our stay throughly and would love to go back again one day!

We found a slice of paradise here in Haleiwa. As this is an area that most people drive through on the highway to the best North Shore surf beaches there aren't many options for accommodation. Most people say that you need a car, but myself and partner and 4 year old had a lovely time using the public buses. 10 min walk to the 7/11 and then another 5 mins to good coffee, acai bowls and shave ice! We even too the bus from Waikiki to Haleiwa with no problems. The Haleiwa beach was perfect for our little daughter. Calm and private. Clear water with fish amongst the coral. We even saw a turtle. The apartment has everything you need including snorkel gear. 2 bathrooms were great. Quality fixtures and comfortable queen size bed. It was a hot week but with the ceiling fans we didn't even miss a/c. Nic was really easy to contact and a great host. Coin laundry on premises was great. Highlight of our Hawaiian trip. Would love to stay again. Thanks for having usNic!

Greg was a great host and very ready to help us have a great time on the North Shores. This is a place of inspiration and my husband wrote a new song in the few days we were there! The home is newly constructed and very tastefully done. We had a great view from the rooms deck of the ocean and mountain with rainbows every day. The mattress was new, very comfortable with quality sheets, pillows and cover. Love it and look forward to being at Greg's place on our next visit.

Perfect spot for a relaxing time

We spent 4-nights at Greg’s “Place of Rest” single room while on business on Oahu. We loved Haleiwa, it is a great small town that served as a good launching point for exploring the North Shore. We enjoyed our daily coffee at Islands Vintage Coffee and the Whaler’s General Store had what we needed for our stay. The property is newly built, very clean, and secluded. There is an error on (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) Maps/Waze so you can not use GPS to get you to the actual property. A new access road was built and GPS will try to take you down a closed road. The room itself was tastefully appointed, the mattress was very comfortable and ceiling fan kept us nice and cool. What was problematic was the hot water situation, despite putting on a new gas tank, I couldn’t get the hot water to work before my job interview. I had to shower at a gym in Honolulu as Greg’s communication/response is very minimal. The issue was eventually resolved, however at another point the upstairs tenants locked us out of our room at night, I guess they accidently had a key to our room and the deadbolt? The downstairs room also does not have the amenities listed, there’s no wifi, no kitchen just a mini fridge/coffee maker, there’s no iron, no hair blow dryer, or if there was a washer/dryer I didn’t find it. Other than the above issues and difficulties with communication, we enjoyed visiting Haleiwa and it is a very nice property, at a value price.

Awesome accommodation with a nice view! Greg is the best host ever. Thank you for everything ...

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.

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. :-)

Greg(host) was so pleasant and accommodating. He has one of the most infectious personalities I have ever come into contact with. He is truly an inspiration. He made my friend and I feel very comfortable. The bed was really comfortable and the washer and dryer were so helpful. This is a brand new house and it is nice. What a value. I feel blessed to have stayed here my first time in Hawaii. I would definitely stay here again. Greg, please hit me up if you are ever in San Francisco Bay Area :)

Great location, sea-view, fabulous brand new building with smooth concrete flooring, private entry, sliding French doors, laundry and a HUGE shower! Greg is a fascinating, conscientious, caring, communicative host with reassuring immediate responses, a creative entrepreneur, a perfectionist, an admirable person and an ardent learner. Book early since Greg's suites and apartments are sure to fill-up quickly.

Excellent for my needs I would definitely stay there again.

Pattie is phenomenal. We loved staying with her! Her house is right down the street from Haleiwa town and the beach. Haleiwa is incredible, we went paddle boarding and surfing and saw so many beautiful turtles and rainbows. Pattie was super welcoming and made us feel right at home. Her cats are adorable (especially Kramer) and friendly. Staying with her was like going to stay at a good friend's house. She provided us with everything we needed (even bikes and a bike lock). She even dropped us off at the bus stop on our way out!

A very authentic plantation house on the north shore. Everything was clean. Pattie was a great host and went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and provide recommendations around town.

Had a great time in Haleiwa. Pattie made me feel at home right away. On her only day off, she took the time to show me Turtle Beaches, Waterfalls and so much more. I realley loved to stay at her place , Mahalo.

Pattie was so nice ! She had lots of tips about the North shore. Her house is an old house but she keeps it clean and nice. The room is big and the bed is really comfortable. It's close to the beaches and center, about 5 minutes by car.
