The home has a lovely energy and great vibe. We loved the open floor plan and felt very much at home. Some thoughts to pass on to the newcomers:1. Directions could be a bit more specific if this is your first trip. 2. You cannot walk into town easily. You need to drive. We have a 3 year old so it required driving to get to stores, restaurants and the small town.3. That said, we loved our location. It was a private cul-de-sac, felt much safer and more secluded than the main streets and other houses. 4. We saw giant sea turtles every day. 5. The house had all we needed. Don't stress about amenities and big shopping trips for groceries. Many staples were there, generously left behind by previous guests. Arrive first, take stock, then do the grocery run. 6. I do agree with the above tenant about the pillows and bedding. Felt a bit like a motel in the scratchy/uncomfortableness, but all else was lovely.7. A walk down the beach (to the right) leads you to a larger community and a lot of great conversations with locals.
A few repairs for future tenants : The sensor lite on back porch is burnt out .. Door in master very difficult to close .. No key to lock front door when we leave .. The pillows are very uncomfortable & gave us both neck aches ..
We have fixed the sensor light and have scheduled a repairman for the door. Thank you being such a wonderful guest, we will see you again soon!
can't wait to visit HI in this house again. perfect for families. very nice beach right out the back door, and, in our experience, a very safe spot for young children. we will hope it is available next time. thanks!
Oven not functionalSeveral lights need replacementAnts and roachesOne of the free standing room fans is not functional
THE OVEN IS WORKING FINE...THE repair man moved it a bit and it started right up. There were and are plenty of light bulbs in the home in case any burn out, however, we did fine 1 lamp that was un plugged. The home is under bug control and at times an ant or roach can come in with packages. Sorry about that were in the tropics.. However, when we spoke to the tenant he couldn't of been happier with the place.
It was the first experience for us (my wife, 2 children (5 & 2 years old) and myself) to rent a house on a vacation, but we cannot stay at hotel any more in the future by the following reasons:- can walk to the beach in bare foot from the house, and the beach is the very private beach!!- don' t need to think about going out to the restaurants, worrying that kids would act up- can wash everything within the same day- can cook, eat, drink... at any time we likeSo we surely recommend this property to everyone who is looking for the beach-front home. I must stay at this house again in the next time.There was just one nasty thing we should mention; we found dog dirt on the beautiful beach several times. Sometimes 2 big dogs walked on the beach without collars... they are kept as pets 3-5 doors from this property. I think they are free to walk out of their home and make a mess on the beach. I'd really like the owner to complain and stop them.
Fantastic location in quiet upscale neighborhood away from highway. Perfect for couple or family looking to get away from it all. Nicely appointed house with very comfortable king in master bedroom. We had a tremendous vacation, (just two of us) and the property was all we hoped for and more.
Excellent getaway, beautiful location, home, beach. We'll be back!
I simply cannot say enjoy great things about this experience!! From excellent customer service from the office when inquirying about the property to the final call before leaving making sure everything went well. Will DEFINITELY be using your company in (near hopefully) future! THANK YOU!!!!
Could do better with an air conditioner unit
Fantastic location. On beach, near Haleiwa, near lots of public beaches, surfing mecca, turtles on beach, seal on beach. Loved the gourmet kitchen. Lots of room for our family. We felt very at home. Nice decor. We had nice surprises, like the set of "Lost" being on the same beach around the corner! Beautiful sunsets. Our only complaint was lack of internet connection which was quite important. We did buy our own hammock. Should have one on site - great location for one.
There is internet on the property surprised you couldn't find it. We were a phone call away. management
We had a fantastic time. This house has it all in a cozy space. The beach was phenomenal and the views are unbelievable. We will be back many times. The only thing the kitchen needs, although it has the best of everything, is a couple of good, big knives. We spent alot of time cooking and everything was great, but the knives there were small and dull. Other than that we do not have a single complaint. It was awesome and we will recommend it to everyone. The Hawaii Beach Homes staff is so nice and accommodating too, Looking forward to next time already
We loved the location of the home. Being off the main highway is a plus. The lanai and garden facing the beach was our favorite spot. Lovely, casual furnishings.
Great quiet home away from home. Very clean and comfortable.
Our family had a wonderful time - incuding both the 16 and 82 year olds. The north shore is stunning and the house allowed us to experience the sounds and sights of sunsets and rushing waves. The kitchen was beautiful and welcoming so we wound up cooking in more than expected. It would however be nice if they had internet. Because the location and home were so lovely, we did not feel the need leave the Haleiwa area. We thought this was going to be a one-time trip, but have already talked about going back. We hated to leave, which is always a good sign!
We spent our Spring break here and it was a wonderful location. The beach was very nice. The house is well maintained and is very nice.I would recommend this location.
Pros: private, quiet, great location, cozy, perfect set-up for surfing, comfy beds, nice kitchen, beatuiful view, close to shopping, restaurants. Cons: fridge didn't work, musty smell in bedrooms.
We have sent a maintenance individual to check the fridge and check for the smell. If any tenant experiences any difficulty during the stay please know you can contact us for assistance using the 24-hours service number listed in the move in instructions and in the house.
beautiful house and secluded beach, we drank coffee every morning sitting on the deck staring at the ocean, the house has everything you need except could have a better BBQ, overall I give it 2 thumbs up. We'll be back next year.
Beautiful location. Very quiet beach and lots of turtles at high tide. Great for small children as a little tide pool forms down where the turtles come to feed. The only criticism I have is the owner left a note stressing how costly it is to own a house in Hawaii and explained that only a fraction of the fees you pay go to them. I thought this was unnecessary.
This Home is amazing. Very clean, right on the water and private. It is true paradise!!!
Took my 22 y.o. daughter on vacation to Oahu (her 1st time). Stayed at 3 places in two weeks and we enjoyed this home best. House was very comfortable, she loved the sea turtles on the beach. The North Shore is much busier than when I lived in Hawaii twenty some years ago, but it still felt the same (amazingly; this home was located a short distance to all amenities. The only complaint was in the garage/wash room area there were a few palmettos (747s), but none in the house, which was very clean. Everything was working and fairly new. I'd definitely stay here again and recommend it.
This was such a great place to stay that it will be very hard to compete with on our next vacation. We loved falling to sleep with sounds of the ocean and loved watching the turtles!!
