We had an amazing time! We could not believe how close we were to the beach/ocean. We could feel/see/hear the ocean at all times in the VRBO. It was so cool to go to sleep to the sounds of waves and wake up to a sunrise each morning. Kitchen is very well stock, decor is refreshing and calm. Mahalo
This place has no AC and I could not have been happier. Being from Florida we were a little concerned about staying here in June without AC but it was absolutely amazing. We slept to the sounds of waves crashing and salty breezes blowing through the unit. It did get a little warm one day so we walked a few feet to the cool Pacific Ocean!! The building and exterior is dated and there was a lot of construction going on during the week. Still it was the best stay we had on the island and would definitely recommend it.
Iur stay at Javqui and Terrie's property was fantastic. Calm, relaxing beaches, good snorkeling and a lovely 1960s era bungalow vibe. Exactly what my spouse and i were looking for from our babymoon. If you want more modern amenities like AaC you may want to look elsewhere, but if you want to relax with a great place and great hosts this is definitely the place to come. We will absolutely be coming back in the future with friends and family.
This was a perfect spot for our family of 4, with 2 teens. Waking up each moring to that incredible view of the ocean & sunrise was amazing, as was having the beach right out our door, and swimming/snorkling with sea turtles! The ocean breezes and fans worked well to keep us comfortable despite no AC (even for us Northwest Washington people!). We loved the location in a quiet peaceful part of the island that still had close access to amenities and the beautiful north shore. Even though it's remote, it was a short walk from a few food trucks, and a little minimart with a Hawaiian kitchen, as well as a quick drive to the grocery store and other options. The only reason we knocked a star off of "cleanliness" was because there was what looked like black mold above one of the kids beds. Other than that it was clean and well stocked (though a drying rack would have been nice, since there's nowhere to hang out swimsuits and beach towels to dry). We loved our stay, it felt like a good value for what we paid, and we definitely want to come back! We are headed to the other side of the island next, but wish we had just booked this place for our whole trip!
Oahu Secret!Every night, several sea turtles climb up on the beach to rest. This is one of the only places on earth where see turtles will enjoy dryland outside of spawning season. As sea turtles are blinded by white light flash photography use red filtered lights to see where youâre going and give them plenty of space if you tour the beach at night or very early in the morning. Absolutely do not touch them and donât blind them with white lights or flash cameras Enjoy!
This is our top vacation destination. Itâs our fifth stay. We love being able to cook our own meals in the well-furnished kitchen and then literally step outside to the beach. We could hear the waves from our bedroom. Sunrises are stunning. We saw sea turtles and seals on the beach. Host is very responsive and helpful. Snorkel gear is provided, and thereâs often some nonperishable food in the pantry (coffee, oil, sugar, salt/pepper). We canât wait to return.
Loved being right on the beach!! Quiet, relaxing and felt like our own private beach at times. Lots of sea turtles!! Great location and the cottage was clean.
We wanted somewhere to stay on the north shore that would feel more local and be near the ocean. This little condo delivered. When they say ocean views they arenât kidding. The beach was 20 feet from the windows! The unit was clean, provided all necessary amenities, comfortable beds, embraced the beach vibe, and what a view! My boys loved that there were twin needs so they didnât have to share a bed. Super happy with the stay, would definitely book again.
Terrie is such a warm and welcoming host, treats you like Ohana. Excellent location and very nicely supplied with everything you need. Just bring your Aloha spirit and you will enjoy immensely. Walk out the door and in just a few steps and youâre standing in the sand. The views, including the sunrises are incredible. Mellow waves, swimming is easy. Reserved parking, security guards 24/7, laundry rooms, etc. We will be back for sure, mahalo
We stayed here three nights! It was a perfect stay. We enjoyed going to the beach daily and saw sea turtles every morning! The sea turtles like to swim within the vicinity! Beautiful morning views and sound of waves was perfect! Thank you for a wonderful stay!
Great location, nice beach, very clean comfortable room. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5: Cable TV did not work, (ROKU worked, so not a huge deal) and construction on the large hive hotel was a bit annoying. Would stay here again after construction is complete, though.
This place is in a perfect location, right on the beach and close to Jurassic park ranch. The place itself is a little outdated and needs some renovation in my opinion. Everything else was great.
Cabin is clean and comfortable. A great spot right on the beach. Good swimming and snorkelling. Central to activities and popular spots on the North Shore. Would definitely stay here again.
Being Raised on Oahu and now living in Oklahoma, this cottage will bring me home. It is like stepping back in time to be there watching the turtles and whales through the window in my living room. I come to relax and float in the clear, glass like, ocean which is just steps away. One must see to believe and experience to know.
