This was exactly how I expected it to be from the listing. We stayed with my 75 year old parents, my 18 year old daughter and her friend, myself and hubs, and our 1.5 year old son. We spent most of our days and nights enjoying cocktails on the lanai, cooking in our take out, and an hour or 2 on the beach every day. We didn't turn on the TV - NOT ONE SINGLE TIME! We enjoyed the ocean views and sounds of the waves and birds. We cooked in some, and made our way around to the local eateries. The owners were phenomenal at their correspondence over the text thread and in person. The kitchen is FULL with every sort of utensil, cups, plateware, cookware, you name it! It was glorious! Shopping for your stay- even tho the owners don't stock the home fully, they don't believe in waste either. We used the left over sunscreens and shampoos, then replenished when we opened the containers we took. Take inventory before you go shopping. There are things others have left behind that you might use! (Seasonings, cooking oils, etc...) There was plenty of toilet paper for all of us for a week, but we bought paper plates and paper towels. We are also used to camping, so we continued to air dry our towels and reuse. So if you're not used to that, bring extras or do laundry at the coin-op. We seriously didn't want to leave! Ps. If you're reading the reviews, it's 27 man-steps to the sandy beach walkway. But I'm a woman and it took me 30 steps 😂😂

The house was perfect for our family of 8. The beach next to it was one of our favorites. The host took great care of us!

The inside is large but tired Beds small and aged No property for the children to run around Beach is close No Gas BBQ

Family trip for 11people. We rented this house and a studio( sofa bed and bathroom). This place is closed to the beach, we enjoyed the beautiful peaceful beach. We just felt in love with Hawaii. Very very very beautiful!! Beautiful green mountains trees, clean emerald blue beaches, fresh clean air. Every dinner we cooked this big clean house, eat, talk, laugh. Thanks a lot. We recommend this place.

It is an upstairs unit with lots of rules. It is a short walk to a nice beach. The unit is not new and is the Hawaii standard of worn. There is also your favorite roster that will wake you at 3:30am on the dot. Closed windows help but ... I would stay here again.

We had a wonderful time at this rental! Some of the beds and pillows are not the most comfortable. It isn’t the crisp impeccable hotel experience, but it is homey and cozy with plenty of space.

My family and I enjoyed our stay so much. There was plenty of room for all 9 of us. Owners and neighbors were very friendly and helpful with anything needed. Would love to go back soon.

The owners were very accommodating, addressing all of our needs and questions in a very timely manner, and going out of their way to take care of us. The house is just a few minutes walk to the beach and was very nice to stay in. North Shore location is great to be close to many good beaches, food trucks, etc, and away from the crowds.

We enjoyed our stay. The land owner was very helpful. We were a bit further from the beach than expected, but it was a very short walk. Very close to the grocery. The beach was perfect for swimming and snorkeling. We would recommend this place to friends.

Myself, my husband, our 7 y/o child our 3 adult friends felt completely comfortable in this lovely AirBNB. Perfect location away from the hustle of the city life we are accustomed to in our day to day...but a close enough drive to anything else we wanted to experience (cultural center, ATV / UTV tours, ziplining, food, etc.). The owners are not kidding when they say they have an amazing beach that is literally only a few steps away. The alligator pond was perfection for our son; an absolute flawless stretch of beach. Being from South Florida, we are no strangers to the strength of the ocean and we are always on alert - but even we were able to throttle back a bit as our son enjoyed the stretch of beachy heaven! Prepare to snorkel and explore all that you can on this beach – it is a must! Now, back to the home - it boasts a large open floor plan with nice sized bedrooms and bathrooms. The kitchen even allotted space for all of the adults to prepare food at once – I cannot do that in my own kitchen haha. They offer various seasonings and a lot of dishes / cooking utensils for use. Just go to the grocery which is close by and prepare your favorite foods as you would at home…easy breezy! Even in the summer months the AC was not a true necessity as the ocean breeze was fantastic and so cooling and refreshing! If we ever travel back to Hawaii, we will book this home again – 110% without a doubt. Home, owners, location - all superb!!!!

The property is 3 houses off the beach, there is a nice porch for enjoying the sunrise and sights and sounds of the waves.

We had a wonderful vacation! The house is in an ideal spot for having quick access to the beach without the crowds of tourists. A true relaxing Hawaiian vacation spot for a family looking to enjoy the beach. Owners are close for answering questions and are genuinely nice people.

Beautiful property and helpful and responsive owner.

We had a great stay. House was close the the beach and the best shaved ice we had. Which is all we needed.

Aloha, My family and I really enjoyed our stay at Hawaiian Dreams, perfect location if you’re planning on going to Kualoa Ranch Tours, Polynesia Culture Center, very close to Foodland and about ten minutes to a verity of food trucks that have been featured on Dinners Drive and Dine. What we really enjoyed the most is that the beach at the house was all ours and not crowded like when you stay in Waikiki. My family and I are planning our next vacation, we’re definitely going back to Hawaiian Dreams the house is very pretty and very accomdating for a large group of 10 adults Jeri and KeAlli are very nice people and very welcoming Mahalo

Loved every minute of our stay.

Good location for the area. House is nice. We had an awesome view of tons of New Year's fireworks from the back lanai. Definatly need to be able to do stairs. My mother in law did ok but there are a decent amount of steps to get into the house. Very friendly hosts and they promptly brought us a lantern and flash light when the neighborhood power went out. Definatly no view of ocean which I thought there might be because it said something like steps to the beach. Beach area more like very short walk...I guess that's steps but a little farther than I was expecting. The beach was pretty rocky. It might have gotten better quickly but we didnt explore this beach much because we were mostly doing sight seeing during the days.

Overall we had a wonderful stay at Hawaiian Dreams celebrating Christmas and my 50th. However a few things to note: * The en-suite toilet takes a couple of flushes to work and the sistern needs attention. Drove us crazy at night when it kept wanting to fill up. * When staying 10 days - would be lovely to get a change of linen or have access to a working washer and dryer. There is a $2 charge per load - when staying at a house I would expect this to be included. With the rain it felt like the towels were always damp. * There is insufficient glassware for a party of 8. * Showers were always lukewarm but understand it is solar powered. You needed a sunny day to have a hot shower. * If you are going to advertise for 8 or more people to stay its unreasonable that one double bed is a blow up mattress. Not a particularly comfortable stay for our 25yr old son. * For future guest stays would recommend you put a little effort into a welcome basket - my extended family stayed down the road and enjoyed a total different welcome experience with fruit basket, small gift and festive decorations. * Rooms should be equipped with ceiling fans. * Wifi kept dropping out but owners were quick to reset the router. Owner shared tips on the local area and greeted us each morning. House located close to the beach. There was a great ‘alligator’ rock pool and the beach was safe to swim at. Home is also located in walking distance to the grocery store.

Our family of 7 adults and 2 children made this our home for a week and what a wonderful experience. We could see the beach from the deck and it was just 2 houses away to the beach. The owner was very pleasant and accommodating, the very essence of Hawaiian aloha. The property is located far away from the hustle and bustle of the city and the private beach was never crowded. The home itself was perfect for us with plenty of room for all 9 of us. The air conditioning was something to look forward to after being out in the heat all day. The kitchen was well equipped for us to enjoy preparing meals and the dining room table fit all of us. Our stay was AMAZING!! I highly recommend a stay at this little peace of heaven.

Great time Peaceful beach with some people, not crowded.

Perfect spot to relax after exploring the island! Fit our two families (10 people) perfectly. Loved the proximity to the beach! Was lacking in a few supplies supplies like beach chairs and a cooler for picnics. But, there's a Longs across the street to buy those. Enjoyed waking up to the sound of the ocean each morning! Overall, we would stay here again.
