We loved this property. It was in a beautiful tropical neighborhood on North Shore and the studio was cute, clean and had everything we needed. Our host was very nice and helpful too. The bed was comfortable and we loved going to sleep at night to the sounds of the waves. I sincerely hope we can stay here again!
We had a wonderful stay on the north shore. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a quiet and relaxing getaway. Sunset views are spectacular. Close proximity to Haleiwa. We saw whales and sea turtles from the back yard. Accommodations are clean and host is friendly and helpful. Thank you for your hospitality. We hope to be back soon.
My spouse and I rented this studio for one week and we absolutely loved it. We were looking for a self-contained apartment close to the beach where we could live like a local, enjoy the north shore and we couldn't have asked for better quality accomodations or hosts.
Neal and Sue were so helpful but left us alone to explore and enjoy the area. It was nice to know they were just upstairs for any questions but the studio is well-maintained inside and out, with everything you might need in the kitchen, as well as some fresh herbs outside, too! We rarely had to bug them and were made to feel very welcome here.
Location-wise, you can't get any closer to the beach then this! There is plenty to do - long beach walks, swim with turtles, surf, splash, etc - so we were never bored. We used some of the beach and water equipment available at the house, too.
As with most islands, you will need a car to get around to historic Haleiwa town for groceries, and to get to other spots on the island. Otherwise, you have everything you need for a relaxing vacation right here. The location is ideal and we hope to come back again one day!
Spectacular view and location. The studio is well equipped and comfortable. 10 minutes from Haleiwa. Steps to the ocean and relaxing beach to just sunbath, swim or read a book. Perfect place for a relaxing vacation.
My mom and I couldnât have asked for a better trip! The house is located on one of the most beautiful beaches with minimal public access, so most days we had the whole beach to ourselves. Just a short drive to town with plenty of good food and cute shops. The room was great and had everything you could need. Thank you Neal and family for sharing your beautiful home with us!
The owner was very accommodating and super helpful. The location is perfect, a very short drive to Haleiwa. The beach is private and accessible with a short stairway. Beautiful view and you can hear the waves all night. The bed is super comfy!! We woke up feeling refreshed every morning. We really enjoyed the space and highly recommend it!!
A great stay and a great family. Cant say enough about the property and our host. Location of the house is perfect. Steps to the beach. Quick drive into town for some of our Haleiwa food and coffee favorites. If there were a 6th Star available for this review I'd still add another. Thank you Robert and family for the great stay!
Wowowowow we had such a wonderful stay at Robert's place. 10/10 would recommend for anyone looking for a spot on the north shore. The location is incredible, the unit is super comfortable, and Robert was a great host. We will (hopefully) be back again soon!
I couldn't imagine a better location to stay. It was perfect in every way, and Robert and his family were so welcoming. Our daughter loved playing with their kids in the backyard.
After reading all of the reviews on this place I was really excited to arrive. I had really high expectations prior to arriving. However I was actually blown away once I was on site. The pictures donât do it Justice. The perfect place for a semi private get away. Canât wait to come back. Neal was helpful and attentive. If you are traveling with a group of friends this might not be the place for you. But if you are looking for a romantic place for yourself and significant other then look no further you have found it.
This was the most amazing property. Right on the beach, gorgeous views from backyard. Gazebo in the backyard that is 2 levels. Great for watching sunset or having a nice meal.
Neal was a fantastic host and was great with communicating with me. This is a great area less than 10 min to the fabulous Waimea Bay. Less then 10 minutes to Haleiwa with restaurants and shopping. Itâs the North Shore! Turtles everywhere.
I highly recommend this property. We will back.
Our stay was amazing, our host was the best, available beach chairs and beach umbrella were so nice as we traveled to sunset beach and Waimea and it was nice having these. Our studio was clean very nice and prefect,y suited to our needs. We had a nice quiet beautiful place to come back to each day from exploring the North shore. Great beds, nice excellent bathroom, nice A/c.
We had a slight problem with the way the place had been cleaned but once we notified Robert he quickly took steps to rectify the situation. He and his family had been away but still took care of it.
Everything was exactly like it looks in the pictures and you canât beat the location! Great place.
This trip was a special one for my mom, son and I and Nealâs home made it perfect. We loved the privacy and proximity to the beach. It was perfection.
My husband and I had a wonderful vacation at Neal's studio rental! The bed was very comfortable, the unit was clean and felt spacious due to the high ceilings. We ate breakfast every morning on the elevated gazebo overlooking the ocean. We never needed to use the air conditioner. The ceiling fan and breeze through the windows kept the unit at a perfect temperature, and we loved hearing the waves through the open windows. We saw sea turtles feeding along the reefs by the shoreline, and a turtle even came on shore for a few minutes for a perfect photo op! Beach chairs, an SUP, surfboards, boogie boards, beach towels, lounge chairs, a hammock, a firepit, a covered patio and an elevated gazebo were all included. The panoramic views of the ocean, and the sunset views, from the backyard and patio were amazing. The beach was uncrowded, and the ocean was a perfect temperature - in the upper 70's. We are definitely looking forward to returning to this amazing property!
Read the glowing reviews and add another star! Couldn't have asked for more. Many amenities available, but we spent most of our time just basking in the serenity and beauty of the ocean waves with palm trees swaying. The second story gazebo is an awesome place to relax and watch the surfers. So long Turtle Bay Resort....Hello paradise! This was so much more relaxing, private, and convenient. Heaven on earth! Very easy to find. Perfect host. Can't wait to return!
Cozy spot right in the ocean. Quiet spot with spectacular views and easy access to the beach. We were able to have breakfast on the beach everyday while watching the worlds best surfers and sea turtles.
This was the perfect place for our week on the North Shore. Robert was a great host and the studio had everything we needed for our stay. We loved to hear the ocean at night and walk out onto the very quiet beach n the morning and sometimes see turtles. Highly recommended!
