My husband and I stayed for 2 weeks in October along with our daughter and 2 young grandkids. They kids were sick for part of the stay and so we took turns staying home with them for a few days. It was absolutely miserable!!! So hot and stuffy. The "air conditioner " was not enough for the whole house. The fans did nothing. I called and got nothing. I was told i would get a partial refund for the inconvenience. Never happened. I paid quite a bit for 2 weeks. Not worth it!!!!!! This was my first time going to beautiful Hawaii. The island was amazing but the stay, not so great. Very disappointed.

This is a great place to stay. Two bedrooms, so the two grand boys and my wife and I each had our own bedroom in our own bathroom. A large open the main room that was kitchen/relaxing and chilling spot, and a little path, but let down the side of the beach house in front of us, so we were literally three minutes away from the beach. The beach here can be a steep, and the waves can be big, depending upon whether and tides, so smaller kids really need to be watched. However, you are a 10 minute walk/2 minute drive from sharks Cove, named because the cove looks like a shark. There’s a large break water that creates calm waters that are anywhere from ankle twice deep… In some places over your head… And the snorkeling there is great. Lots of fish to look at. The cold is made the top 10 family friendly, snorkeling spots. We were there in really rough seas, there is one spot in the middle of the cove, through which water can stream when the waves hit, and it creates a bit of a current. Stay away from that and you’re fine. If you’re taking a car down, get there early for a parking spot in the little lot connected to the park next to the cove. You’re only two or three blocks from Foodland a little grocery store. And you’re about a five minute drive from Ted’s bakery. They also serve breakfast, lunch, dinner… We had a great breakfast, sitting on the picnic tables under the awning outside the bakery. Plan about an hour to travel from here to Honolulu, so crank some tunes and chill.

Our family of four really enjoyed our stay at Ke Iki beach. The access to the beach was easy and so accessible. It's almost like a private beach with not a lot of visitors. Crystal clear water with the best sunsets views. Great access to Foodland Grocery store, local food trucks and Sharks Cove. The house was just as listed/described. Only complaint with the house was not having a working outdoor shower or faucet. Both bedrooms have window AC units and worked perfectly. The main open area (kitchen/dinning/living) has a portable AC unit. During the day, it gets very warm in the open area, but worked well at night and early morning. We also stayed at the house in August, so outdoor temps were extremely high. We would definitely recommend this property and location!

Great little cottage -- seemed to have everything our group of 6 adults needed -- 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths, futon, large living space with tv/wifi, modern kitchen and a nice balcony for morning coffee. Got a little warm during the day -- as we opened the windows and kept the 3 window air units off during the day (one in each bedroom, one in living space), and then turned on in the evening for sleeping (was very comfortable). Bedrooms now have faux wood tile flooring (carpet in photos is gone) -- very nice. Kitchen has ample dishware, cookware, appliances, etc. Was nice to see some spices/condiments left behind and available for our use. We added to them. Loved having a washer and dryer -- could've packed a lot less (note for next time). Parking was good for our rented Toyota 4-Runner -- and loved having the auto security fence. Management and cleaning were professional and responsive -- greatly appreciated. Unit looks like it's in the process of being updated (mostly complete). Only items needing a little extra love are some loose and torn screens (small tears), back balcony rail repair, and some fresh paint on the walls. Have spent several weeks renting homes on the beach on the north shore -- the beach is usually quiet and uncrowded (Logs/Pipe) except during surf contests (which we enjoy). The beach in front of this unit is big and beautiful -- but did run in to WAY more public beach traffic, including overnight camping/parties and the rude son (per his own declaration) of the owner of the bungalows 3 doors down , at this location (likely because of it's proximity to Foodland/Sharks Cove/Food Trucks? Or maybe because of "summer" crowds or the "end of a pandemic"?). Regardless -- very much enjoyed our stay -- and would recommend this unit to any group of 4-5.

We loved our stay. This house is steps away from the beach and located in the mix of the North Shore. It is easy access (just a short drive) to all the best surf the Oahu has to offer. We had a great time watching sunsets on Ke Iki beach and bbq'ing on the lanai.

This was our first time in Hawaii and we had a magical vacation. My family of 6 (ages 13, 16, 19, 21, 53 and 58) just got home from our amazing stay at this property and everyone says it was their favorite vacation. The house is exactly as described, except now they have an AC unit that cools the main part of the house. All of the beds were comfortable. My husband and I stayed in the master queen bedroom. My two younger daughters stayed in the other queen bedroom. My 21 year old son slept on the futon and my 19 year old daughter slept on the couch and they both reported being very comfortable. What I want to emphasize to anyone who is reading this review is how AMAZING Ke Iki Beach is!! Pictures do not do this beach justice. This house sits behind the main house, but it's so close to the beach! This beach is only for residents so it is not crowded at all! It feels like you are on your own private beach. The beach is huge and and the water is pristine! Another major positive about this property is it's location. You are in walking distance to Shark's Cove. It has amazing snorkeling. I would suggest bringing water shoes because the terrain getting into the cove is pretty rough on tender feet. (we didn't, but wish we did) You can walk to the Food Trucks and Foodland. The Food Trucks were okay, but we loved the Poke that is made daily at the Foodland deli. You can either walk or drive to Sunset Beach where you can access the Sunset Beach hike. The trail is next to Sunset Beach Elementary and the views are spectacular. If you love being on the beach this is the property for you! Aloha! Laura

Perfectly comfortable, great location, secure parking. It was a perfect place to be when not exploring the surroundings.

We loved our stay in this lovely, peaceful home! Amazing location to one of the best beaches in Oahu. We cant wait to come back!

Gorgeous spot steps from the beach. We loved every minute of our stay. Accommodations were perfect and the house was very clean. We enjoyed walking out for the sunrise and the sunset. Amazing that it’s so close.

We selected this property for its good location close to the ocean and walking distance to food trucks and the grocery store. It was advertised as sleeping six (two of which on the sleeper sofa in the living room) we had assumed it would be newish and appropriate for guests. Unfortunately the sofa appeared to be from sometime in the 60’s with horribly sagging springs and the original formerly 3” mattress. No child, let alone adult could have slept on that and still enjoyed their vacation.Also the property manager showed up several hours after check-in and asked to search for a missing tip left for the cleaning staff from the previous tenants. We assisted in the search but felt that there was an inference that we had stolen in it, which made us very uncomfortable and was an unpleasant way to start our vacation.When asked about the sleeping arrangements, she was unsympathetic and criticized our expectations, saying it was a “cheap” place to stay. We spent half of our only Saturday there driving around the other side of the island searching for bedding. She did email us back later that day and apologize for her rudeness and offered to reimburse us for the cost of the mattress topper, which she did plus some for gas.Overall the location was excellent the house was clean! It was nothing fancy, but the kitchen was well-equipped and there was also some snorkeling gear and beach things in the closet. We did have a wonderful vacation and would definitely stay in the area again.

The home is as listed. Great location. The AC unit in 1 room didn't work but with the fans was not an issue. The living room furniture is basically pation furniture and a sofa sleeper. The kitchen cookware could be up graded as well as the coffee maker. The BBQ pit definately need replacement. Overall we would stay again....

I took my son and my nephew on a surf trip to the north shore, the house was perfect for us. Close to many surf spots along the 7 mile miracle and the beach out front was great for some relaxing time between surf sessions. We would definitely come back again - Thank you!

The location is fantastic! Walking distance to Sharks cove for snorkeling & food trucks for dinner! Also grocery store. Less than 10min to town & some great surfing spots. House is expansive, though only 2 bedrooms & a little dated. Also there is a decent amount of car noise from main road - I recommend you run the fan to drowned out the noise. Overall we were quite happy w/ the place & would stay again.

The house was extremely well located. It was very hot in the main part of the house, but I called the property manager and she brought 2 fans over, which helped. The bedrooms were air conditioned, but very dated. They both had very old and not so clean shag carpeting and the walls could definitely use some new paint. The main house was updated, but it was way too hot to just hang out there.

Having spent many summers on this exact beach, we knew what we were after. Great for my husband and I as for the two teenage girls. We love the beach, the water & walking distance to everything. If the house doesn’t have what you need Foodland will and they are so reasonable and the deli is amazing ! Aloha from the Emil family!

The house was very clean, and everything was ready for us. Meaning, they had clean towels (to include beach towels), there was ice in the fridge, pans for use (although, not very well maintained pans). We tried to use the oven, but it was a little uneven of a cooking temp. Microwave was not functional although I am sure it will be fixed for the next person who uses the house. The air conditioning units are in the bedroom only and don't work that well so you are not going to be keeping super cool in the house, but not the end of the world in Hawaii. The showers were functional with decent water pressure. The house location though was not truly beachfront. There is a house behind it and you have to walk through their yard to get to the beach. Also, there was no yard space to allows kids to play in which is something we prefer when we rent a house. There is a small yard, but you can't be sure if it is your yard or the persons house that is directly behind you. The beach by the house is not good even for walking in the surf. Waves are rough with major rocks and drop offs. It is walking distance to Foodland (supermarket) and Sharks Cove (great for snorkeling) and several food trucks so you don't have to combat parking. The neighborhood though is not the best, but it not the worst....I didn't feel unsafe, I am just a bit of picky about well kept neighborhoods. If you need a clean place to sleep in and don't mind it being a bit warm with easy access to everything, this is your place. If you have a family and intend to spend time in the house with a family (kids + parents) this is not the right house.
