Absolutely loved this spot and will be staying with Bob and Joy at some of their other locations on the North shore of Oahu. The space was perfect and the usage of the bikes and some personal guidance of the local area by Bob himself really made me feel at home rather then on vacation. Of you ever get the chance, book here, you will be stoked (super happy) you did. Aloha Bob and Joy!

This property sits far enough away from Kam Highway that you never hear it. On top of that the doors and windows are new double pane and seal out any noise should you want to close off the outside.This is unusual in HI as most houses are built with cheap thin windows or jalousie windows. There is a fan and AC if it's too hot. The fan is usually enough. The queen size bed is comfortable and equipped with a removable memory foam topper so you can either go supper soft or firm. The room is also equipped with a nice TV and soundbar. You can also use the soundbar with your Bluetooth phone or computer to watch movies and such too. Fast internet makes this an easy proposition. The shower is very spacious with an overhead rain style head or side mount shower. The shower is unusually nice for such a small place. I also really appreciated the privacy given to me. I almost never saw anyone. When needed though, the hosts were easily reachable and very responsive via phone or text. I would highly recommend this place to any single person or couple looking for a nice and inexpensive place to stay. There isn't much room for luggage and clothes. For one person it's plenty but for two it could get tight. It's Hawaii though and you don't need much. There is a washer and dryer on sight so for longer stays; don't bring as much and plan to do a load or two during your stay.

J Marie was very hospitable and accommodating. The location, access to bikes, and studio was perfect for my needs! I would definitely stay here again!

Everything is there : towels, dishes, washer and dryer, bicycle, a little garden, .... The studio is clean and calm. The beach is beautiful! Thank you Bob for everything! We will recommande your place to our family and friends. Sophie and Francois from Montreal Canada.

The surf Ohana studio was perfect for my wife and I. Clean and private, a very quiet street and nice and close to the surf. The bikes were a bonus and Bobby is the nicest guy you could hope to meet, ( we didn't meet JMarie ) there to help in anyway he could. We Highly recommend staying here if you're coming to the north shore. Tom n Kate

Great location, clean, comfortable, relaxed, quiet, and friendly owners. What more could you ask for?

Myself and my boyfriend booked this beautiful place to stay on the North Shore for a week. When we arrived we were greeted by the lovely J.Marie and she kindly offered us the other place that they had at the same location, which was a lot larger and with a full kitchen, for the same amount as it was quiet season and they had nobody booked into it. She was incredibly accommodating, we had everything we could possibly need, including 2 cruiser bikes, and she was happy to help with any suggestions with questions we may have. We could easily bike down to sunset and pupukea for whatever we needed. And just around the corner from Ted's bakery! We had the best North Shore experience we could of hoped for. I cannot wait to book again!

I recently returned from a North Shore surf trip. The surf studio is as advertised and just perfect for a solo traveler. I want to share my story regarding the kindness of the couple who own and manage this property. Prior to my afternoon check in, and just after my first surf, I was hit by a car on the Kam highway. Surfboard under one arm, by a distracted driver. On the first day of my vacation. I was able to contact the owners from the ER and they offered to come to the hospital, take my keys, find my rental car at the surf spot and drive it to the Surf Studio. I had to return stateside a couple of days later to get care, but while I was there the owners were very helpful in making me comfortable. When I heal I'll be back for sure. I just wanted to pass this on with a personal thanks to the owners for the concern, care and aloha shown to me

What a fantastic location. Life is simple here, and simply fabulous for anyone looking for a private, restful stay in a beautiful spot. I can't wait to go back in 2017. Very, very clean, which is always a top concern the first time renting at a new location. Not a concern here! A true North Shore surfing family, the gracious hosts, always make you feel most welcome, and totally respect your privacy. If you're the type of person who enjoys your own company, a good book, great beaches and a chilled bottle of wine with spectacular sunsets, this is your place.

I truly can't say enough great things about Joy, Bob or their home! Staying here is like staying in your own slice of zen paradise. It's immaculate, spacious and close to everything. I received plenty of hospitality, but was also given the space by Joy and Bob that I would compare to a hotel stay. I will certainly be coming back. Mahalo and Aloha. XOXO

Wow! Helliconia, hibiscus, gardenia in a luxuriant private garden. Quick bicycle ride to Sunset Beach for your morning summer swim. Paddle to Backyards and Sunset Point from two lane-ways away. Velzyland just around the point. This is a magic spot. J Marie and her family are so friendly and helpful with directions to beach walks and good spots. Everything is here for fixing a romantic Ono or Mahimahi dinner. The shower is a work of art. Surf magazines in the bottom drawer. Thanks so much. A beautiful return to the North Shore after so long.

The surf studio room is clean, quiet, very pretty, and right in the heart of North Shore surfing beaches (which can be calm swimming beaches at some times during the year). Everything you need is provided, including a fridge, towels, plates, bikes, everything. The shower is awesome! If you want the peace and quiet of the north shore, this is a perfect place. Ted's Bakery is an easy 5 minute walk, Foodland grocery store is a 5 minute drive, the Turtle Bay Resort is a 10 minute drive, and Waimea Bay, Pipeline, Sunset, Pupukea, and lots of secret beaches are all within a 10 minute drive. I highly recommend the Surf Studio!

Perfefectly comfortable cottage for the two of us. Lovely garden setting and ideally located to the beach and bike path and bikes that were supplied were a real bonus. Highly recommend!

We loved the studio, great location, impeccable, close to the waves, and the owners are great! Thanks for everything.

I just returned home from a 2-week stay at Surf Studio on Sunset Beach. It was comfortable, cool, quiet, beautifully decorated and absolutely clean with a fantastic location. It was the perfect place to relax and unwind and wake up to the sounds of tropical birds in the morning. Only minutes to the beach, I could take leisurely strolls or bike to the beach to swim and watch the surfers or view the sunset. It was an easy bike ride to Ted’s Bakery or the supermarket. And a great location for short drives to the nearby Turtle Bay Resort for yoga or pilates classes at their Luana Spa, or the stunning Waimea Beach, or even the picturesque town of Haleiwa. The Sunset country market on Saturdays and the Farmer's Market in Haleiwa on Sundays with local organic produce, arts and crafts are defintely worth checking out. There's horseback riding for anyone interested. As a single female, I felt absolutely safe. The owner was very understanding about my chemical sensitivities and insured that no toxic chemicals were used in and around the studio. Whereas I often have reactions in other hotels and rentals, I had absolute no reactions at this studio. The listing description is accurate, the photos accurately reflected the rental's appearance and amenities, and the property was clean and well-maintained. The owners were very friendly and helpful in answering questions and sharing their knowledge about the neighborhood and surrounding area. I would definitely recommend it to friends and relatives and can hardly wait for my next vacation. I definitely want to return for future stays are Surf Studio.
