Up country. Like going back in time 60 years. North Shore close. Amazingly gorgeous beaches, parks and mountains. You could sit on the lawn the entire time and never want to leave. Totally different Hawaiian experience than a resort. I’ll be back.

Laid back, O’ahu gem with privacy, great views and all you need to have a memorable vacation. You’ll never want to leave!

We felt like we won the lottery. We had a wonderful stay in the perfect location. Thank you Lance for the wonderful experience.

This was a great location on the North Shore with access to the water steps away and beautiful sunrises and stars in the night sky. Lance was extremely helpful with suggestions for places to eat and very accommodating when we requested the grill. This rustic location was perfect for us because we were there to relax and unwind. The only thing we found difficult was parking due to traffic on the street outside (surprisingly once inside we rarely knew it was even there). Although the water was accessible if you have children it may be a bit difficult navigating some of the waves but for adults we found it very pleasant. Also we found that there was another rental upstairs and had a couple times where the renters made their way to the grassy area outside of our hideaway so please know if both places are rented you may see others outside enjoying the beautiful view.

Wonderful stay! We loved the quaint apartment within steps of the ocean. Lance was very responsive and helpful. We really enjoyed our week here.

This place is a lovely cottage that sits only a few meters from the ocean and provides a gorgeous, eastward facing living space that is refreshing to sit in whilst enjoying the wind and waves. The interior is rustic if a bit simple, but it has all the important things covered, with a two burner portable electric griddle for cooking and a window A/C unit in the bedroom for cooling (which we never used - it's more than enough to just open the windows, turn on the ceiling fans, and let the ocean breeze do its work). The location is a little tricky to find unless you pay very close attention and look out for the building's sign; fortunately it's right on the Kamehama highway so it's very easy to get in and out of to head out to any of the area towns on the North shore. There are two grocery stores less than 10 minutes away, and the view will never get old whether you're looking out to sea or inward towards Oahu's towering mountainous interior. Do yourself a favor when you check in and just sit and stare at the ocean waves for a bit from the back porch when you arrive - you'll immediately feel your stress and cares melt away, carried off by the pacific island breeze.

We had an amazing experience at this VRBO in Hawaii. The location was absolutely unbeatable, with stunning ocean views and access right at our doorstep. The rental provided all the essential amenities, which was all we truly needed for a comfortable stay.

Amazing. Incredibly beautiful. Will come back and already recommended this to all my friends and family.

This was a wonderful home away from home for my husband and I. The ac in the bedroom was perfect and much needed! The location is beautiful and you just can’t beat the view!! We saw sea turtles swimming in the mornings and evenings. The place was very clean and Lance had everything we needed for the first couple of days like shampoo and coffee! :) Lance was also very quick to respond any time we had questions. Check in and check out we’re super easy. We highly recommend this place!!

We had a great relaxing 4 days.A little windy but that was not your fault.

House had all we needed. Loved morning coffee in the backyard right by the ocean.

We can’t wait to come back! It was an incredible stay!

Loved the locale, close to anything on the North Shore you would want. The owner was prompt to any inquiries from us.

A little getaway for just hubby and I. The most amazing view from this property. Perfect for us. We will be back.

We enjoyed our time here! The space is rustic but has everything you need and boy, you can't beat the view! A good place if you have kids, they can easily play in the water, the large waves break quite a ways out. 5 coconuts all the way around!

Location was absolutely wonderful. beautiful unobstructed ocean view, and fairly quiet. Futon was a bit dingy and dated. Bare bones for kitchen gear, toaster was scary to use. needs more glass ware Owner said there were beach chairs but we could not find them.

From the moment we arrived very satisfied. Beautiful view on the ocean. Sunrises are amazing from your back door. Walk into the water at low tide and see fish swimming. You can snorkel and there is a sandy beach just a 2 min walk. Had everything we needed for our stay. Quiet area grocery store, gas, local food within a few minute drive. Polynesian cultural center 10 min drive, north shore beaches 20 min drive. Beautiful drive from wikikki. Basic amenities, but everything we needed for morning coffee and breakfast. Lance was great, he made sure we had everything we needed. The place was clean.HIGHLY recommend. I wish we would have booked for 2 more days.

I absolutely loved waking up to the sunrise over the ocean, watching the geckos come out at night, and seeing the lizards eating their bug meals. The ocean access was unbelievable and totally unforgettable.

Secluded. Basic essentials, don’t plan on cooking a meal…. Clean, could use a furniture update. For North shore seclusion, it’s great.

Wonderful

This was the best place to listen to the waves and wind through the palms. Owners were wonderful and a pleasure to work with. Cinda

My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights and LOVED it! Amazing backyard that is right on the water with breathtaking view- quiet and peaceful. Lance was great to work with!

This place is the best hidden paradise tucked nicely in the country! Right on the ocean!! The best sunrise views!

My husband and I very much enjoyed our stay at this property. The view is obviously one of the best parts in the backyard area. We saw sea turtles everyday and although we did not snorkel out back ourselves, one could do so. The house was also quiet at night and the neighbors are very respectful and not loud. There are so many things to explore on the island, and this house was perfectly situated in the middle of the North Shore and Honolulu. The host was also very communicative and easy to deal with when booking, checking in and out.

It was hard to leave. We are easy people who do t need alot. This is the place. We loved the ocean front but abell to cook our own food.

This house was perfect for my husband and I who were on our honeymoon and wanted to stay away from the hustle and bustle of a crowded resort. Gorgeous sunrises every morning. Beach right out the door. We saw many sea turtles each morning.

Super happy with this rental. The location was perfect. The views were INCREDIBLE. All necessities were there within the home. AC in the bedroom was a MAJOR PLUS. It did rain intermittently throughout our stay and have to shut the sliding door which does make the unit hot but this should be expected in Hawaii, not the fault of the owner. The surf was choppy not really a swimming beach but during low tide I did go in for a few dips. Beaches more suitable for swimming all within near distance. This place was meticulously clean! One thing I could recommend is a more comfortable bed, but this is everyone’s preference which may be different from mine. I really enjoyed my stay and feel blessed to have had the opportunity to stay at this beautiful rental. Mahalo!

We loved our stay at this property. Watching the sunrise every morning was amazing! Having the ocean so close was the best. It was fun to go out and walk on the wet sand when the tide was low, and we enjoyed watching the waves crash on the wall during high tide. One morning we even saw sea turtles out in the water while we were sitting on the porch enjoying the morning. Check in was super easy. Everything was clean and the kitchen was well stocked for cooking meals (the hotplate was easy to use as well). It was nice to have a washer and dryer to use when we needed it. The bedroom is the only room that has A/C and it works great. This property is super close to all North Shore areas, which made it easy to get to the places we wanted to visit. Getting to Honolulu was not difficult either. Lance was very timely with a couple of things that we needed his help with. He even brought us two body boards for us to use, which saved us some money. We would book this property again due to the location right on the ocean.

The property was perfect! The owner handled any concern we had very quickly. Location was so close to every where we wanted to go. We can't wait to return.

This place was very clean and a great location away from the hustle and bustle of the bigger cities. The AC in the bedroom was a godsend as the rest of the place has no AC. Very happy and would stay here again! Thnx for staying available Lance! Lance, the host, was great.

Beautiful location right on the water. Such a clean house! Everything we needed for romantic holiday. Landlord was very easy to contact. Highly recommend! 😊

I stayed here with my husband for a week for our first time in Hawaii. The unit was incredibly comfortable, clean, and perfect for our trip. The view is unmatched, and we saw sea turtles swimming from the back yard several times! Our host Lance was communicative, accommodating, and has true aloha spirit. We had ZERO problems whatsoever. The unit was private, had easy parking, good water pressure, and NO bugs! We will definitely be staying here again! 10/10
