Quiet, clean convenient , courteous

Upon our arrival the owner had no instructions or information written down anywhere. She relayed all info either over the phone or in person and quite frankly we are used to not seeing the owner when we rent. We expected to see a binder of information instead but there was none. She barely had enough sheets and towels for all and charged $2.00 for each load of laundry. The owner charged us for additional people but did not provide us with adequate supplies for the week (towels, blankets, pillows, etc). The beach chairs were old and broken. We shared a driveway with another tenant which included opening and closing a gate manually each time we left or returned. Beautiful home in the north shore area, but felt invaded on by the owners living on the property in such close proximity.

The apartment and location are as nice or even better than what you we expected from the listing and photos. Just be aware that this is the upstairs unit of a rental double. If both parties keep all windows open and make use of the generous outdoor living spaces as the climate demands, the tenants downstairs hear everything you say and do, and vice versa. Whatever TV show they watch you will listen to. If they run the dyer at 5 am you won't sleep. You get the picture... If that possible lack of privacy does not bother you, the place is picture perfect.

The property was as advertised, quite neighborhood, great views and felt like home away from home. Property owner was friendly and helpful. Having the use of beach chairs, boogie boards and snorkeling gear on the property was a bonus!

A great property with good amenities. Good location to explore the North Shore.

We very much enjoyed our stay in Pupukea. The unit is very well maintained and updated. It was also spacious even for our family of five. Everything was in great condition. Alan and Anna were friendly hosts and since they were on site, easy to locate if needed. They were generous with use of their beach amenities. The local grocery store is right down the hill which was very convenient as we typically ate breakfast in the unit and sometimes prepared lunches. And, of course, world class beaches were literally minutes away, as was the fun town of Haleiwa. We opened windows for lovely breezes at night which kept us comfortable. The only downside is that with windows open in the early morning (still dark) you can hear the roosters, but perhaps that is to be expected! That being said, some nights we closed the windows and turned on the ceiling fan and the windows were pretty efficient as when closed, one couldn’t hear the roosters crowing. At night it is very dark in the area which made for incredible viewing of the sky. Star gazing was terrific. We would definitely recommend this place to our friends.

Host was VERY warm, easy going, and you can tell they cared. Place was very clean, well lit, large for 3 of us, and the views/deck is absolutely phenomenal.

We absolutely loved the lanai, it’s huge! We were able to borrow boogie boards and beach chairs. Snorkeling gear also available. The apartment was decorated very nicely. WiFi was good, beds were comfortable, five minute drive to Foodland, beaches, and food trucks. There’s a stovetop but no oven, no washer or dryer but a nice clothesline on the lanai. If you’re a blanket person pack your own. We would 100% return! Thank you!

My wife and I had a great time at Anne’s beautiful home. Spacious apartment, comfy beds, super clean and stunning view from the private Lanai.Anne and her family are super friendly. we even got to taste the bananas and avocados that grow on her property.

I grew up in Hawaii and have returned often over the years to visit family and friends and do some surfing. as a result I've rented a lot of different properties around Oahu. this is by far my favorite. the property is embedded in a quiet and lush green setting with spectacular views - I found it so relaxing. The pictures don't really do justice to the view from the deck - the evening ritual was watching the sun set over Kaena point and then eating dinner on the deck. and yet in 5 or 10 minutes you can drive to any beach on the north shore. There was a good breeze every day which kept it cool and mosquito free the entire time. Anne and Alan were wonderful hosts. They live in another house on the property and they were helpful and available but respectful of my privacy. I was there at the beginning of the coronavirus outbreak and they cheerfully did everything possible to accommodate my multiple change in travels plans.

We had the best time visiting the North Shore and staying at Anna's rental was seamless. The place is beautiful and has a ocean view on clear days. The house was very clean but incredibly private even though she has other rentals on the property. We adventured all over the island and it was so nice to come back to our own place and relax on the huge deck! There is a food store and food trucks right down the hill plus several towns within 10 minutes to have sit down meals. We enjoyed the ease of having breakfast in and then adventuring out for the rest of the day. Anna was so accommodating we borrowed her beach chairs and boogie boards so we didn't have to purchase any. We loved Turtle bay spent a day there as well as Hanauma Bay for snorkeling. We can't wait to come back and would not hesitate to stay at this rental again!

This property was great, house is clean and lots of room, owners are great folks, we were really pleased with everything. I dont know what more I could say, except EXELLENT!!!!!

The rental and property was beautiful!

Great place is in a very quite and relaxing location. The property is very well maintained and the owners are friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend!!

We had a wonderful time. Wish we could of stayed longer. We enjoyed our chats with Alan and the other guests. We were invited to thanksgiving dinner...just hours after arriving. Ohona- is truly what we experienced! The sunsets were so beautiful from the deck. Also, the fresh bananas and avocado were an unexpected treat! Maholo, Coreen and family

This property was gorgeous. The owners were great, really friendly, on property and answered any questions we had. We will be looking to stay there again. It was very spacious with a beautiful view. It was clean and very well maintained.

My girlfriend and I rented a VRBO and for various reasons it didn’t work. We were stuck in Hawaii without a place to stay. I sent out emails to find another and within minutes I received a phone call from the owner of this property, Anne. She was so accommodating and nice and let us immediately rent her property. Upon our arrival we were blown away with the location and the views. This place has everything you need and is centrally located. Jaque their neighbor greeted us with fresh bananas and was very friendly and informative about where to eat, activities etc. We both can’t wait to come back here and bring our family .

My family and I enjoyed our stay in your beautiful property! The home was very clean and the layout was as described. We had everything we needed and more. Jock the caretaker was very helpful, accommodating and respectful. He gave us a lot of the delicious apple bananas from the owner's backyard and he even gave my family a personal tour to see the turtles. It was one of our favorite memories on the island. Thank you Anne and Allan, The Florendos

For many years I’ve been renting vacation properties all over the globe and have never had such a negative experience as this. Our family was excited to vacation in Hawaii for my oldest child’s college graduation. I chose this location as it is close to where my daughter lives and close to the beach. We arrive and began to look for the check in sheet or instructions for the WiFi, pretty much looking for any information about the amenities listed on the ad there was nothing. We initially had reserved the rental for four guests then at the last minute my nephew decided to come too making it 5 people. As you can see it sleeps up to 6 people. The next day I receive a text from the owner stating that there will be an additional charge per day for the additional guest. She said it was stated in the contract...it was NOT! She continued to harass me through text and phone calls until I agreed to pay her the additional monies in cash, reluctantly I did. The last day we were there we returned the rental to its original state in which we found it, left all the used towels to the shower swept well washed and put away all dishes swept the floor and took pictures in case the there was some dispute as to the level of cleanliness we left her rental in. I receive a text after we leave stating “ what happen to most of the towels? Did you clean a car”? Still harassing me. A few days later I looked at my account and she has cashed my security deposit without explanation whatsoever. Three days later she sends an email stating we had damaged her mattress and stated it was “unauthorized removal of mattress protector”. We, of course removed nothing from any of the beds as we had no instructions to do so. Nor were there any stains or damage on the sheets. The invoice she generated didn’t look legitimate and the photos and damage I believe was from a previous renter.

The property was really well maintained and clean. The ceiling fans kept the upstairs unit cool and very comfortable. Our group had a great time! Thank you Annegret!

The "treehouse" was just what we were looking for when returning back home to visit Oahu. We only had a few days, but the home was just what we needed. Enough room for our 2 kids and ourselves. Anne even brought us fresh picked bananas that worked well for our breakfasts. She also let our kids and our friends kids that were visiting run around their yard to get their energy out. Overall a good stay.

Great host clean house perfect location !! Thank you anna!

House is very clean and well set up. It has a peek-a-boo view of the water. The deck is perfect for just enjoying the outside. Anne is a great host and wants her guests to feel like they are in their own home. I would definitely stay again.

We enjoyed our stay. Anne was a terrific hostess. Very clean and updated. Close to the beach and grocery store. Can’t wait to visit again.

This was a new rental for us, but we have stayed many times in this area. Very clean and well provided upper unit with comfortable living room, bedrooms and kitchen. We came from another rental and wished we could have been here the whole time. Very accommodating hosts.
