My wife and i celebrated our thirty third wedding anniversary by making first ever trip to Oahu from our home in NZ We stayed for a week on the North Shore at the Hula House and were blown away by the beauty and peacefulness that is so definitive of this spot. We were rocked to sleep with the sound of the surf and gentle winds through the windows left open (no bugs or mosqitoes!) The Hosts were superb.So friendly and accommodating with very prompt communication and helpful in getting us through the preliminary arrangements.We were looked after as if we were royalty. I was super blessed to get a really great week of surf at Sunset Point and the host (great surfer and very humble guy) even helped me with local knowledge on the break and heaps of hints in negotiating one of the worlds most awesome surf breaks . We loved riding the bikes every day, swimming at all the sheltered spots close by, drinking Kona coffee (yummmm!) and having the most relaxed and soul restoring holiday ever! We would love to come back next year and bring our whole family.

Loved the location! Having access to bikes was absolutely the best! Probably the best way to experience the North Shore is on bikes. J. Marie and family were great hosts and wonderful people who offered great advice on where to go and things to do. Would definitely recommend these accomodations.

My husband and I had a wonderful stay. I was worried about sleeping upstairs and the bathroom being downstairs, but it wasn't a problem and was nice to have the extra space downstairs. Everything was very clean and comfortable! It was wonderful to be able to use the owner's beach equipment, we had a great time!

We had the perfect stay at Hula House. We could not have been happier with the location. So clean and nice perfect upstairs apartment with beautiful breezes throughout. Would highly reccommend this property to friends, family and coworkers. The walking/bike path was so close for our every morning 5 mile walk. So nice to be able to ride bikes to beach. Overall great vacation for my son, husband and myself. Thank you

We had such a wonderful stay during our time at the Hula House. We were a group of 3 and there was plenty of room and comfortable accommodations for all of us. The beds are very comfortable and the location is perfect! We had lots of fun riding bikes around, and we were sad to have to leave. We hope to be back!!! Thank you very much!

nice, clean, reasonably priced little rental house with many amenities, including bikes, snorkel gear, boogie boards, towels, cooking utensils, cable tv. a very short walk to sunset beach and ted's bakery, short drives to polynesian cultural center, waimea bay and valley, hali'ewa town and boat harbor, dole plantation, bonzai pipeline, turtle bay, grocery store. super nice owners (who happen to be serious surfers, not wannabes). a quiet safe area, off street parking. we really enjoyed it. thanks!!!

Our host was in contact from our first email here. They were very friendly and concise with detailled instructions on how to get there and how everything runs. Check in was smooth. They showed us what we needed and got out of our hair. They even provided us with a travel crib for our 9-month old son, Otis. You don't get much more accommodating than that. The location is awesome. Walking distance to Ted's Bakery and their famous Chocolate Haiupa (?) pie (I preferred their Dobash) and Sunset Beach, it can only be described as a real Aloha-get-away. What any first-timers should know about North Shore... THere isn't much out there. It's about surfing, hanging out and turning off. Seriously, if you want to go party and dance and have lots of fun, you might want to consider somewhere else. This has nothing to to with Hula House. Here, you can really wind down and relax with nothing on your mind except sun, surf and maybe some grilled shrimp or an Ahi sandwich. Another thing is you need a car. "Getting groceries on a cruiser is a bit of a pain."out hosts told us. Not so fast... I used their cruiser with a baby-seat on the rear to roll down to Foodland and back with minimal hassle. There is a bike lane that is shaded and runs about 90-95% of the way there. Even someone who hasn't been on a bike in years could make this trip. All-in-all this is a great getaway for anyone who wants to get out of the city and away from all the tourist crap. (Haleiwa is just a short trip down the road if you want...) They are great hosts and the bungalow is really pretty sweet. Christian, Sara and Otis.

My boyfriend and I could not have been happier with our stay at the Hula House on Sunset Point. It is the perfect location to be away from the crowds and busy highway but you have the bikes to take you wherever you want to go. Short walk to Ted's Bakery which is a must. The beach that is nearest to the studio is also picture perfect. The owner is wonderful. Pictures dont do justice to how nice it feels to be in this studio. Highly recommend to everyone!! I even got to see the owners other properties on the lot and theyre all great. She puts a lot of care into her rentals. We were torn between a couple of places and we are so happy with our decision to stay here.

The pictures and narrative description accurately convey what this house is all about. There is easy access to eveything you want or need that the North Shore offers without being right in the middle of too much traffic or too many people. I was traveling alone and stayed here for one week. Everthing was exactly as described, clean, and in good working order. The windows and ceiling fan allowed for constant airflow and no need to ever turn on the air conditioner. Every morning I enjoyed a leisurely bike ride down to Starbucks to get the day started. Then spent the rest of the day biking, walking, or laying around at the beaches. I really enjoyed that I had the closest beach almost to myself never seeing more than 5 or 6 other people at a time. But within 5 minutes biking there were hundreds of people so it was really the best of both worlds. A very short drive to Turtle Bay allowed for golf and dining while a little longer drive the other direction takes you to Haleiwa with surf shops, souvenir shops, and more dining choices. In between is all of the best surf breaks and beaches. Hula House was absolutely perfect for my trip and I would not hesitate to recommend it to any one, two, or three persons who are looking for quiet, clean, friendly accomodations with easy access to all of the North Shore. Aloha and Mahalo Joy - I hope to be there again next year.

I stayed at the Hula House for about two weeks in January and was very happy with the cleanliness, location and homey feel it had. My trip was outstanding and every night ended great because we got to hang in this beautiful place and make ourselves a wonderful dinner there. Pros: High ceilings, very well lit, lots of sun comes through, great breeze, many windows, clean property, bikes were greatt to have!!! safe neighborhood and the tenant could not have been any more friendly or catering. I hope this helped you in making your decision; Enjoy your vacation; Mike DJ

We loved the Hula House, it's so close to one of the most beautiful beaches in Hawaii. We could watch the North Shore waves all day long. The bed is very comfortable and the studio is equipped with everything you need. The owner is very caring & was a great help during the Tsunami alert which added to our adventure. Ted's has amazing food! We'll be back.

The Hula House was a fantastic find that helped round out a perfect North Shore vacation. Not only is it situated in a quiet neighborhood at the end of a cul de sac, it is within just a few minutes' walk or bike ride from some of the best beaches in Hawaii. The furnishings are perfectly done tasteful Hawaiian and the design of the house allows the sweet trade winds to cool you day and night. The bikes (especially! Have you tried to park at Waimea on the weekend?) and snorkel and surf gear are icing on the cake. The owners are wonderful and accommodating, and I will stay at the Hula House every time I come back to the North Shore.
