Had such a lovely stay here. The house cat greeted me every single morning & I was truly sad to say goodbye to her. The location was unbelievably perfect. Just a short walk to the most stunning beach! We slept so well & we are grateful we found this spot. Thank you Vanessa!

My boyfriend and I stayed here for a few days in May (I've been meaning to write this post for sometime). The location is perfect. Walking distance to what feels like a beach with incredible views, short driving distance to all things you need/want to experience in the North Shore. Definitely recommend renting a car, but this place is the perfect home base. It's not 5 star accommodations, but its clean, home-y, and has everything you need. This place is perfect for travelers who will be gone all day and simply need a quality place to sleep/get ready for the day. Will totally stay here again. The host were the sweetest!

The location was great. It was clean and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay at North Shore area. We especially we’re grateful for the umbrella, beach towels and snorkel equipment provided!!

Great location. Very clean and has more than expected in the studio. Would 100% stay again!

Close enough to Ted's Bakery to walk before the line gets long. Amazing place with all the essentials. So grateful for our stay

Cute little cottage that had hot shower, fridge, A/C and fan. Vanessa was super accommodating and extremely kind. Location is close to North shore beaches and food. Would absolutely stay here again. Mahalo!!

It was a great place to stay. Short drive to local beaches and restaurants. Great experience.

Minimalistic, parking was a patch of ground across from house next to a wall, one A/C unit in window (about 5K BTU), one large sink in bathroom, bathroom window had no curtain/had cloth hanging from two screws, front door and back glass door difficult to unlock and lock, washer/dryer outside under deck (when available), narrow shower in bath, hose outside to wash off sand, clothes line available, mornings were best when a cool wind would blow and a wide variety of birds would sing, found bugs in bathroom on two days, TV sound and sign in not available two days, was told to reach out but knocked on door twice and even with dog barking was completely ignored. Would be great stay for single person or someone wanting a place with the basics.

My daughter and I enjoyed our stay. The property is clean and quiet. You can walk to V land and Sunset! Ted’s is a 5 minute walk for breakfast or lunch! The unit is clean and spacious. The host responded to all my emails quickly! We were even able yo check in early. There are plenty of towels and there is even a nice little cooler for the beach! It’s a perfect spot for a few days on the North Shore!

Our stay was great. When you want something tucked away yet close to the beach. Easy walk to the water and relatively close to anything you would want.

Perfect for my quiet and restful getaway! Lovely studio with all the necessary amenities. Neighborhood cat was very warm and welcoming too! Friendly furry companion who wanted a lot of TLC. Good communication with owner and timely reponses too.

My stay was incredible. The community is wonderful and not overcrowded. Within an easy driving distance to the main attractions on the north side of the island, and not a bad commute for things on the other side (leave early and its not an issue), such as Pearl Harbor (a MUST). Hikers galore in the area. I left early a few days and hiked the trails. The vegetation and wildlife are remarkable. And- of course, the beaches!!! Beach bum is a compliment. The studio is quaint. It is private and small and perfect for the traveler(s) who know they will be on the go. Refrigerator, microwave, coffee pot, and two portable single burner hot plates. I cooked breakfasts and meals with ease. Other travelers have left a beach umbrella, a cooler for the beach, a rain poncho, and a few other items. The bikes are rusted (as another traveler noted) but everything with metal rusts in the damp air. It did not effect the function of the bikes. The biking trail is wonderful. And surfing? There are places to rent all of the things you may want to play in the surf. Mahalo for this amazing trip. It was perfect in so many ways. I miss it already. If crammed hotel stays are not your favorite, then I recommend this location. ALOHA and safe travels!!!

Great hosts

This beautiful studio is located on a private street just a short walk to the most beautiful beaches I've ever seen! This cute little studio had everything we needed there was even a washer and dryer right outside the back door. The bikes we were able to use really added to the trip! We went on a bike ride to watch the sunset at sunset beach! The bed was so comfortable, I slept like a baby! Can't wait to be visit this accommodation again in the future!

It was the perfect little place for 2.

The place was dirty, dead bugs, what looked like mold in places. Ill equipped and smelled. Found a coffee maker after looking through cupboards and it had old grounds that had molded then dried as hard as a rock. Had to buy toilet paper as no extra rolls. Does VRBO ever check out these places??

Our experience at this property was very disappointing. When we arrived, we were met with an outdated and unclean property that fell far short of our expectations. There was a thick layer of dust covering the old fan and AC, rendering them unusable, and we even found a dead cockroach on the floor. The bedding and pillows were worn out and outdated, making for an uncomfortable night's sleep. The living space was tiny and located beneath a rented out main house occupied by noisy guests. Given the amount we paid per night, which was over $300 including taxes and upkeep, we expected a certain level of value for our money. Unfortunately, it was apparent that the property owner had not invested in updating or maintaining the property to the standard of the rental price we paid. The rental price did not reflect the value of the property, which, in our opinion, should have been substantially lower. Despite the owner's apology for the noisy upstairs guests, we found numerous issues with the property that made it impossible for us to stay beyond one night. We had to find alternative accommodations for the remainder of our trip. While VRBO advertised the property as a "whole" vacation home that did not require sharing with other groups, we found this claim to be dubious. The thin walls, noise level, and lack of privacy made it impossible to enjoy our stay. Overall, we hope these issues will be addressed so that future guests have a better stay than we did.

Great location. Quiet neighborhood…no chickens. Did daily early morning walks to Sunset & Pipeline beaches. Bed was very comfortable after an active day. It would have been nice to have wash clothes, hand towels, garbage can, and a living room chair for reading before bed. *** Caution: there was no off-street parking for studio unit. Was instructed to park personal vehicle on side of road in a blind curve.

Perfect location if you want to be on the North Shore. Great stay!

Good place for 2 people, very comfortable bed. Check in process was easy. Location is on point! Just minutes drive from Sunset beach or 10min walk. 2 Bicycles are provided which my husband used to go surf in the mornings at Velzey land. We also drove to Haleiwa to eat and check out shops, only 15min by car.

Property was very very nice. Comfortable, relaxing and everything we needed was available. Good deal for the price. Good location for the North Shore. Will definitely try to book for next year. Hosts were super. Mahalo

I was super disappointed to find out when we got there that this is the downstairs guest suite in family home. It is not mentioned anywhere in the listing, and my only hint was when the host messaged me the day of our arrival to make sure I knew to go to the downstairs door. It was too late when I discovered that other people have complained about the same things in the reviews. The bathroom window is a straight shot to the bed area with no curtain; so if someone were in the backyard it would be easy for them to see in. I personally wish we would have just stayed in a hotel instead. Some people don’t mind renting private rooms, but it’s not my thing, and I feel like I wasn’t afforded the opportunity to avoid it through accurate advertising.

Perfect spot on the north shore. Great studio, close to beaches and surf, clean, fast Wi-Fi, loved using the bikes. Vanessa was an amazing host, would for sure stay again.

Like other guests who have stayed, we too felt that the listing was a bit deceiving and quite expensive for what you get. Cons:. It should be noted that this is a bottom studio apartment and a family lives above with two young children that you can hear through the ceiling. There isn’t a hose to clean feet after beach day when the owner requests no sand in the shower. Bikes are old / rusted. Shower backs up so you’re standing in a pool of water. Lock is tricky. Pros: Bed was super comfortable. Location is wonderful. Communication with owner was good.

Great studio for two people and good location for a mellow stay on the North Shore. Vanessa was very helpful and responsive. Loved having the beach cruisers to ride around too!

Just great! Hope to stay more days next time

Great place to stay at the north shore. Everything as described and good money value. Smooth check-in and communication. Would stay again!

Great quiet neighborhood street, near Ted's Bakery and Sunset Beach, so you can walk or bike easily around, which is way faster than driving on the North Shore during surf season and road work. Door lock a little tricky at times, but becomes easier after a few times. If you like quiet at night till the early morning, even with a family above, you totally get it, way better than any Waikiki hotels! Fridge/Freezer and a microwave available in room! Mahalos for the stay!

We arrived later in the evening after attending a show just down the road. Looking forward to a good night's rest, unfortunately upon arrival we went into the bathroom and there was an infestation of fruit flies, all over the mirror, sink, tap, hand wash and on the ceiling. We complained to the owner and she never got back to us until the following day around 2pm. We had to phone the Vrbo complaints department and sent all video and pictures of everything whilst on the phone to them a massive cockroach came down the wall. Vrbo kindly sorted us with new accommodation in a hotel and will refund us the amount we paid to the owner and the hotel we stayed at. Vrbo agreed that no one should be staying there. The owner claimed there was nothing there but I can provide all the evidence (the camera never lies) Can't really comment on the location as we never got to explore it but everything else is a big thumbs down for me. I read in a previous comment that she said she lived upstairs so no idea why she didn't come down to speak to us.

This was a comfortable place for us to stay just a short walk from the beach. The place was clean, and we kept cool with the fan provided. The neighborhood was quiet. It was nice to be able to walk to the beach instead of having to try to find a place to park! Traffic at sunset was crazy!

The studio is very large and fully equipped. If you are looking to stay near the nicest beaches in the North Shore, this is definitively the perfect place! Haliwea is only 10min drive, so we went there for diner.
