This was a great get away on the north shore. Close to beach and Tedâs amazing bakery. We used this as our home base to adventure for a few days. Great communication with Mike as well.
Nice place, very comfortable. Loved walking to the beach to watch the surfers and the sunset. It wasn't a swimming beach but that was a close drive with a sandy beach.
Great location on the north shore. Quiet and pleasant neighborhood. It was everything that was described and host was great. We came for 2 weeks to visit our son stationed on the island and will definitely stay here again.
This rental is nothing fancy- very baseline and bare-minimum kitchen supplies. Things aren't sparkling clean, but I think that is a product of it being Hawaii where things wear down fast. We also saw some ants and cockroaches, but that's just Hawaii.
i come to the North Shore to surf every year. This is a great location at Sunset Point. The unit was nicely laid out with all i needed. Thank you Mark.
Amazing Pupukea property 2 blocks from Sunset Beach!
This is a perfect location - 2 blocks from the beach and 2 blocks from Ted's Bakery. Private lanai was great for coffee in the morning and dinner in the evening. We walked to the beach every evening to watch the surfers and the sunset. Accommodations are as described, neighborhood has a quiet island vibe, Pupukea and Haleiwa are fun to explore. Highly recommend this great property!
Property was what we expected, clean, cozy and peaceful, just what we we're looking for. Easy to find, quiet neighborhood, easy walk to beautiful Sunset Beach. Thanks Mike for a great week!

Great location, walk to 'local' beach and short drive to everywhere else. Neighbors were great, place was clean and comfortable. Many electrical issues though...no lights in living room, no lights in kitchen or outside, some light switches didn't work, but a/c and fan in bedroom area worked great.
Place has an amazing location however if you plan to cook there where very limited pans and glasses no use of surfboards or snorkels as posted and the outdoor shower was gross
My sister and family rented a property on the beach and this was a block away. I was helping with her 1 year old and this was a life saver. No stairs and minimal items to get into. Easy access to beach. This was exactly as advertised. Would stay again.
This studio is clean but is furnished with thrift store purchases: furniture, artwork, kitchen etc. - which is okay as long as it is in line with your expectations. A pro for me was the large bath tub. I had a lot of trouble getting in due to being given an old code. I wasnât familiar with the tow of lock box so at first I thought that was the problem. Then it was getting dark and my cell phone was losing charge. The whole process took 30-40 minutes and was unpleasant. Landlord did call me back after I was inside. Said he was in a snowstorm somewhere. It would have been good to have more instructions on various things, such as the lock, recycling, washing machine, tv etcAs others have said, the outdoor eating space is horrendous. There are broken chairs, water rubbing into the space from somewhere and the large âplantersâ that contain the big plants surrounding the space are rotting and falling apart. All in all, there is the feeling of him an absentee landlord who really doesnât care. However the location is so convenient to the beach and is in a friendly neighborhood which gave a great tone to my visit.
This was a great little studio in a quiet north shore neighborhood. It's a quick 1 block walk to sunset beach and about the same distance to Ted's bakery. The place was easy to find thanks to the colorful gate and was clean when we arrived. There were basic cooking utensils and a 2 burner electric stove top (no oven). We rarely used the AC as there was a good breeze through the windows. There were also an assortment of beach chairs and snorkeling gear under the stairs to the right of the covered lanai. Overall it was a great value for a fun north shore vacation.
Very lovely clean apartment, for the two us it was perfect. Located in a quiet residential area on the North Shore we found it was in a nice location for us as we try to stay out of the city. Self checkin was great as our flight was delayed by 7 hours and we landed much later after 9pm and didnât arrive to the unit till almost 11pm. Very few staples in the cupboard, we didnât do any cooking in the unit but still had to get some sugar for our morning coffees. The walking distance to Teds Bakery is a gem, we got donuts and baked goods every morning and sat outside and enjoyed our treats. The walk to sunset beach is lovely each morning as well.
Also very much appreciated the A/C right by the bed, that was definitely used by us each night for comfortable sleep and even in the mornings as we got ready for the day.
Communication with the host was easy, we had a question about garbage and where to dispose of it and he answered right away.
Would definitely recommend to stay here if you are planning time on the North Shore.
Crash pad for college kids or surfers..We would not stay here again.
First impression was a disgusting âpatioâ area between the parking area and entrance. broken, dirty cement, planter that was literally falling down with dead foliage. Far from the misleading photo of the area that was taken from the parking area. Table that was filthy, chairs the same, one partially broken. We found that this was the only table for eating, unless we wanted to hunch over the coffee table in the living room, while sitting on the couch and the only upholstered chair, which had a thick blanket on it to (unsuccessfully) attempt to protect your butt from the nasty springs in the seat that made sitting on it very unpleasant. The microwave had a tag inside indicating it was made in 2006, and it looked like it. Gross, with very difficult to understand controls. No oven, as the 19 year old microwave was supposed to function as an oven. 2 burners in the counter top. Toaster worked but was just gross with burned on butter or something all over the top. First frying pan out of the cupboard had dried food stuck to it. Bugs constantly in the kitchen. Yes, itâs Hawaii, but this was the 6th VRBO we have used in the islands, and the only one that was buggy. Dish ware was very minimal, but sufficient for the 2 of us. The bathtub had nothing in it or that we could find to prevent falls, so we placed a towel in the tup for safety when we showered. BASIC cleanliness was not a problem. It appeared that the cleaning person did the best she could.I HAVE PHOTOS.
