We loved our stay at Gina's, in a peaceful residential north shore neighbourhood. Beach across the street (path short walk away) was lovely and private. We loved barbecuing and eating in our peaceful backyard with the chickens, cat and dogs. It was exactly the north shore retreat we wanted. Highly recommend.

Gina was very welcoming . the house is well equipped and clean . big and comfortable bed. in a quiet and pleasant neighborhood. we enjoyed it very much.

Gina (owner) and Tina (housekeeper) were both lovely and took great care of us. The guest house was clean, in a beautiful private setting, and a very short walk to the beach. We’ll be back... hopefully soon!

Perfect for the 2 of us. Very comfortable and the location was perfect as other family members were staying a 1/2 mile down the street.

Nice quiet neighborhood. Short walk to the beach. We blew the kitchen outlet breaker when using the coffee maker, toaster, microwave, and hot plate at the same time. Totally our fault but Gina handled it right away and called us while we were out to let us know it was taken care of. We definitely will stay here again when we come back.

Aloha! We just finished 5 wonderful days at this property in Waialua. The location is great, because it is just enough out of the way of North Shore busyness, to be quiet. We had the beach to ourselves on more than one occasion. In September, the ocean was calm enough to snorkel in -- althought the current is pretty strong. I swam for quite some time with a sea turtle and saw loads of beautiful fish. You can walk to the public beach access trail -- or drive if you have equipment to carry -- there was plenty of free parking spaces directly across from the trail entrance. And when I say trail, its actually, basically a short walk between 2 properties and you are there at the beach! The property itself is very good size. You enter at the bedroom (comfy bed) and then the bathroom, then the kitchenette, dining and living area. There are many things available to you like chip clips, bowls, a styrofoam cooler and so much more. The backyard is beautiful and I enjoyed sitting outside and visiting with a mama chicken and her babies. Gina met us at our front door when we arrived and showed us how to work the 2 air conditioners. We didn't see her again, so the whole experience felt very private -- but it was comforting to know she was right there on property in case we had any issues. Overall, we highly recommend this property and enjoyed a very relaxing stay after a very active week in Kauai. Now? It's back to life, back to reality - what a drag! haha :-) Thank you Gina!

This is our favorite place to rent in the northshore. It has everything list and more. It is spacious and ocean can be heard with the windows open. Would stay here again for sure.

We felt very comfortable in this clean big house. We appreciated the two air conditioners and the quiet surroundings.

Great spot. Nice folks. Quiet neighborhood. We'll be back.

Gina's home is across the street from a pristine North Shore beach. The one bedroom apartment is comfortable and clean with everything you need to enjoy a beach vacation on Oahu (chairs, towels, laundry facilities). You'll feel like you're living in paradise!

The best part of the house was it's proximity to the ocean. We also used and enjoyed many of the provided amenities - towels, dishes, umbrellas, beach chairs, list of places to visit. It's a not fancy, but it's totally comfortable!

Even though our stay was only 3 nights, we really enjoyed our time at Gina’s. The bed was very comfortable and the two air conditioners were very needed and appreciated while we were there. The place was clean, well supplied and decorated. The beach is nearby and lovely. The location was private (we had our own entrance and car port) and perfect for North Shore sightseeing. Gina greeted us and made sure we had everything. She was very helpful recommending places to eat and shop. We would definitely stay there again.

We (my two sons and me) loved this little house. It was out of town about 10 minutes and you really felt like you were in the country and part of the community. The place was perfectly equipped with the kitchen and cooking abilities were unlimited. We even borrowed a backpack cooler to bring food and drinks to the beaches. Gina was so lovely and told us of the local spots. We will come back and recommend to our friends living in Kailua. Wonderful place for sure!

A very nice and quiet place on the north shore!! Easy acces to the unit and a nice peaceful drive to Haleiwa If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle and see some amazing sunsets this is the place!!! We will definetly be back !!! Thank you Gina for your awesome place

Three of us girls stayed here for a few days and it was perfect. We had everything we needed and we love the location..amazing! I absolutely loved being able to meet jeff and gina’s Sweet little dogs and cat..they are very well behaved and cute. The neighborhood is a hidden gem on the north shore and if you’re looking for the true Hawaii experience, this is the place. No crowds but close enough to visit the touristy areas. Enjoy!

Great little place to stay. Very close to Dillingham Ranch and a few minutes walk to the beach. Would definitely stay here again.

We loved our time spent on the North Shore. The unit is great; has everything you could need with an easy, 5 minute walk to the beach! We loved spending the mornings on the patio reading + watching the skydivers from the nearby airfield.

My kids and I enjoyed Graceland, were still looking for Elvis, he might be surfing. Our hosts were wonderful.

Gina's place has everything you need for a great beach vacation. Our family was very comfortable in the apartment and the location to the beach can't be beat. This is a great place to stay if you want to really enjoy and explore the North Shore!

Lovely quiet area and only short drive to large shopping area, short walk to beach and carport great as parking in other areas of north shore difficult. Very comfy king bed - spacious rooms with everything you could need included. Nice, friendly hosts - would definitely stay again!

THIS PLACE IS AWESOME, IN THE COUNTRY , VERY RELAXED, CLEAN AND COMFORTABLE I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS RENTAL TO EVERYONE

Gina is really nice and a very genuine person. She's very approachable and will help you with tips on what to do on the island. I happened to land on Christmas day and she even invited me to little party that she was having, It was lovely! This property is beautiful, well maintained and in a beautiful town. Its really close to the best beaches in Waialua, the beach is protected by the reef which makes snorkeling possible and has decent amount of fishes. But the highlight are the turtles, you get to swim with them almost every day :). Thanks Gina... I 'll definitely come back to this house when I visit Oahu again

Our Host was away from the Island during our stay, but was very helpful in getting things squared away anyway. The house is great- My favorite part was sitting in the back yard watching the birds and the mountains views, and the chameleons. It was just the peaceful kind of place I was looking for. Haleiwa is only 15 minutes away, but it feels like another world. There is a beach you can walk to down the lane, and it's not a long drive to the popular beaches on the North Shore. The house was comfortable and adequately equipped. The listing was very accurate and the photos represented things well.

Hawaii has been a dream destination all my life and Oahu didn’t disappoint – it was exactly as we’d imagined, perfect - unspoiled and charming. Coming from England we did expect beachside rental prices for a week to be high and having spent some time on different holiday rental websites decided that rather than stay in a boring duplex or unit on a purpose-built resort, it would be more interesting to stay in Gina’s accommodation than staying somewhere where we wouldn’t get the chance to chat with locals. On stepping through the front door and looking round the bedroom, bathroom and kitchen/living space, we were impressed at the layout and soon settled in. We were disappointed though at the apparent lack of care in the general cleaning. Yes, the bath tub sparkled – as did everything on show, but the bedding and pillows under the linens were really grubby and stained, and we thought that the place needed a really good clean. I actually had to wash the pillows after the first night as we couldn’t stand the smell. I know there is a warning on the website that the owner stores her items in the wardrobe and around the place, but there was so much junk in drawers and cupboards that one was left with the impression that they’d just abandoned their stuff to make space room for paying guests. I lost a shoe under the tired sofa in the lounge and when reaching underneath to retrieve it saw the dirt and mess underneath where it hadn’t been cleaned for a long time. The “day bed” in that room needed stripping completely and the covers and pillows washed – I could not have slept on it. We could hear someone (the owner’s family?) walking up and down overhead and we could hear a dog barking occasionally and people talking and moving about through the adjoining wall to their home, but unbelievably no-one bothered to walk round to say “hello” during the whole week. We decided they couldn’t be bothered with us – this annex to their home is just a money making venture with as little input as they can get away with and we felt a little bit ripped off. It would have been so nice to have someone come round for a few minutes just to introduce themselves and to check everything was alright and possibly chat as we had a few questions about the island. The cats did come and visit! Despite all this we did enjoy our stay here and visited most parts of the island in the week we were here.
