Tired in need repair Dated furniture tired House first impression was good but as you spent time in realize had maintance issues . We had near tragic fall resulting in broken arm and ambulance ride likely surgery . Could been avoided with handrail and steps secured . They were temporary and slid resulting on bad fall . Again could easily mitigated by attaching to to gazebo . r

Couldn't ask for a better location, house, or weather! Thank you to Donna and Sasha for the best vacation 15 great friends and family have ever had!

Wow! This property (aka - the "Samari House") exceeded all our highest expectations! How perfect for 10 people - (3 families of Grandparents [2]; son & family [4]; daughter & family [4]). Right on the ocean on Oahu's famous "North Shore" - we were less than 1/2 mile from the well known Waimea Bay and numerous other great beaches. The house has a fantastic Infiniti pool that we enjoyed early every morning and evenings, as well as a fantastic outdoor space for food, drinks and watching the daily sunsets. Add in a most well appointed Kitchen/ Laundry Room/ Billiard - Game Room/ Theater Room and large bedrooms - this property has it all! We also took advantage of the opportunity for "Chef Sasha" to prepare fantastic/ delicious meals & no-foolin' Mai Tai's for us - a really great additional aspect that added immensely to our pleasure and family celebration. The Samari House is highly recommended to any family or group looking to have a "one of a kind, truly unforgettable" Hawaiian adventure and vacation. Our stay there will long be remembered by all 10 of us, and become a most memorable part of our family's history & legacy. The BEST Vacation Home we have ever experienced.

Our family group of ten, ranging from teens to grandparents, recently stayed at the Samurai House on the North Shore of Oahu. We were there in early July 2022. It was fantastic and everyone in the group loved it. Not only was the house and pool perfect for our group, but the setting was all you could ask for. Good snorkeling right in front of the house -- with turtles! Donna was a gracious hostess. And we all recommend using Sasha the chef to prepare a meal at the house for the group. Good food and a fun time for all.

Pictures do not even come close to doing this property justice. Absolutely beautiful and immaculately clean property! Donna was amazing to work with and Chef Sasha made the experience once in a lifetime! We will definitely return soon!!

Samuari house on Oahu’s north shore is better than we ever imagined. The pictures don’t do it justice. Amazing sunset views. Pool was perfectly heated for enjoyment day or night. The house has everything you could need for the perfect family vacation. I would highly recommend chef Sasha. She not only prepares the best food on the island, she helped us arrange amazing adventures from surf lessons and a beach picnic to a private luau at the house. Thank you for sharing Samuari house with our family.

This was a fantastic house for our family trip. It’s such a great layout that even when everyone wanted their own space but still be out in the common areas there was plenty of room. The kitchen is amazing; all the adults took turns cooking for the group. Not having air conditioning downstairs or in the giant master was totally fine. The house constantly had a great breeze around it that just flows with all the windows and doors open. Waimea Bay is a pretty short walk away, so we got in plenty of beach time without having to drive. Absolutely fabulous!

We had a wonderful time on our multi-generational vacation. The backyard was just as grand as it looks in pictures, and the house was extremely well appointed for cooking and enjoying the pool and nearby beaches. Everything on the North Shore is a short drive away on the same street where the house is located. Donna provided wonderful recommendations for chefs and masseuses, and made check-in and check-out extremely easy. We highly recommend!

We were looking for a perfect place to spend a week escaping the cold gray of the East Coast. The Samaurai House was the most relaxing, beautiful, healing places to retreat to. Donna was the most helpful host who was always accessible by text or phone to help arrange a stocked kitchen, a private chef, perfect hiking trails and recommend amazing people in the Oahu community to provide yoga, Pilates and meditation services. Our days were filled with surfing, hiking, eating at the local favorites and our evenings enjoying all the amenities that the house had to offer- a dojo to work out, tiki lit pool overlooking the ocean and a private movie room. The property was impeccably maintained- inside and out. It is located the perfect distance between town and Pipeline and Sunset Beach. We definitely hope to return again and would enthusiastically recommend this incredibly special property to everyone. It is already missed!

Stunning home, looks even better than the pictures. Centrally located for all the North Shore has to offer, but hard to leave the house for any length of time. Spent hours on the back patio watching the waves, surfers, and the most amazing sunsets. Our host Donna was quick to address any issues that came up, and provided some excellent suggestions for the area. We would definitely love to return some day.

There are no words to truly describe this place...breathtaking and awe-inspiring come to mind. Donna and her husband were incredibly helpful and responsive not only during our stay but also in the months leading up to our visit--some of the best hosts I have ever come across. I wish I was still sipping my morning coffee and watching the surfers...cannot recommend this place enough.

Words can hardly state how incredible our time was at this property. It had everything we could possibly ask for and more. Whales jumping every day, big waves, relaxing warm pool, amazing sunsets, great movie and pool room, really comfortable beds, INCREDIBLE kitchen to cook in, the list keeps on going.

The Host and her team were awesome to work with.

The Samarai House is unforgettable! The views are amazing. We saw whales everyday. The house delivers in every respect! Donna was terrific. We had our wedding at the house and it was an absolutely perfect setting!

Samurai House is everything we hoped for and much more. Eight of us stayed here with plenty of room to get away for some quiet time if needed. Sunsets were stunning and I am really going to miss the sound of the waves. The house is wide open to the outdoor patio and pool . Every one of the 5 bedrooms has an ocean view!!!! We loved the tiki torches and the gazebo daybed. Very comfe beds. The kitchen is over the top and easily handled our crowd. Wood burning fireplaces and outdoor fire pit were a bonus!! The swinging egg chair was never empty. The master suite is a romantic getaway on its own. Our host Donna was very helpful in going through the entire house with us upon our arrival. She was a joy to work with and very responsive. Thank you so much for the experience of a lifetime.

We stayed at Samurai House for the second time and it was just as magical as our first stay. Truly a home away from home. Mahalo for letting share your home.

What an amazing property! We brought our 4 adult children and their significant others to enjoy a week in paradise and this house the best we could’ve hoped for! It had more than enough space for everyone, was well appointed, had views that went forever, and so many amenities that we weren’t able to fully utilize them in the time we were there. Communication with the property manager was excellent, we had everything we needed during our stay and loved every minute! Thank you for an amazing getaway!

In some cases the pictures that are posted online do not accurately reflect the state of the vacation property. This is not the case with this home. The pictures didn't do it justice and the home is much more beautiful in person. The amenities, location, and layout of the home could not be better. We had both of our aging parents, teenagers, a young married couple, and my wife and I that stayed in the home. There is plenty of space to spend time together, but when needed there is privacy as well. Since most of our group had not been to Oahu we did many of the 1st time visitor sites and experiences. Returning to this home and all that it had to offer was a blessing. The sunrise and sunset views were breathtaking. Being able to sit and look over the ocean morning, noon, or night was calming and amazing. We were worried about our parents handling the noise on a vacation and being able to relax. They said this was the best vacation and place they have ever stayed. That is saying a lot as they have traveled all over the world and been to some very beautiful places. Donna is amazing to work with and was timely in her responses to our questions. I would recommend this house to anyone that wants the Northshore life while enjoying the sites and events of Oahu. We will absolutely be back at some point.

This house is extraordinary. From the amenities to the views - it's hands-down one of the most enchanting places I've ever been. Host, Donna is incredibly helpful...be sure to ask for her recommendations on local services like chefs, masseuses, and on-site activities for the kids such as hula and ukulele lessons. Trust me, you'll want to bring all that stuff in...because you'll never want to leave this house. A few things to keep in mind about the area ... traffic here can get wild - so you'll have to be patient heading in or out of the property. But there are some great spots nearby. I highly recommend you check out the Toa Luau which is super close and a really excellent family-experience. Aloha!

We had an amazing experience! Every detail was thought of and the house is simply magical. Donna was a pleasure to work with.

This home lived up to its expectations and more! The pictures of this property do not do it justice. The views are amazing and the location was excellent. The property manager, Donna, was so wonderful to work with during our entire trip. The house has 3 king size bedrooms that were extremely comfortable, 1 queen size bedroom and 3 bunk beds. Each bedroom has a private bath. The queen size room shares a full bath with the bunk beds room. And there are 2 half baths in the home. Also an amazing rock tub and sauna shower in the exercise room. This was wonderful for our party of 12 who found plenty of privacy. The pool, outdoor spaces and covered gazebo were such wonderful spots to take in the beautiful sunsets and the ocean life! We saw multiple sea turtles and a seal sunning on the rocks. The kitchen was so amazing with lots of space and well equipped for anything. The dining spaces were perfect and the living room areas were great! Opening up the 4 panel door and having the ocean breeze come through was heavenly. The queen bedroom and 2 king bedrooms have AC units which really cool down the rooms quickly! The main living/kitchen and oversized master king bedroom do not have air conditioning but that was NOT an issue whatsoever with a ton of ceiling fans and the constant ocean breeze, we were extremely comfortable the entire stay. We stayed for 10 days and honestly did not want to leave! We went for the Hawaiian scenery and exploring but found it hard to want to leave the home. The house was just truly paradise and we loved coming home to it and the pool after exploring the Northshore each day. The location is perfect for getting to downtown Haleiwa in about 15 mins and up to the food trucks and Turtle Bay golf in about 25 mins. Foodland grocery is also super close by. We have been planning this trip and had this home booked for over a year, looking at the VRBO listing multiple times. Arriving and seeing that this place really exists and is honestly better than the pictures brought us to tears! This home was absolutely perfect and we are so thankful that this family opened their home to provide dream vacations to others. We really can’t recommend this home enough. Mahalo!

The pictures are just a small indication of the perfection of this property. I can’t imagine a better way to celebrate the ending of 2020 and beginning of a new year. We had a family of 8 and were very comfortable...none of us was ready for the vacation to end. One of our daughters lives in Kailua so we typically stay on that side of the island...North Shore was a special treat.Donna was a pleasure to work with and was available throughout our stay. We can’t wait to return to the Samurai House.

This property was the perfect place for our family to stay during spring break. The location was perfect for watching whales, turtles and surfers. The kitchen was by far the most well stocked in any rental home we have ever stayed at. There was plenty of space for six adults to cook and prep meals in. We loved spending time outside in the pool, sitting by the fire pit or lounging on the day bed watching the waves. The property manager, Donna, was extremely attentive, communicative and flexible with our travel schedule. When we had questions about the house, she responded almost immediately.We would all happily go back to Haleiwa Oahu just to stay in this property again!

We have been coming to the Northshore for many years. This property is the best we’ve stayed at! Wonderful property manager Donna. Very easy check in and check out process. We hope to stay here again for sure!

The Samurai House is amazing. We had a fabulous week, minus the rain. Would recommend this rental to all who inquire. The spacious kitchen and windows opening up to the patio and main master bedroom are great. Coming back to this House soon!!!
