This house is in a fantastic location right across from a quiet beach. We enjoyed walking across the street several times to spend time there. The traffic can get a bit noisy but that's the trade off with being on the main drag right across from the beach. The host is very responsive and caring and we enjoyed interactions with her. Great communication and great location - 2 big checkmarks off the list when looking for a VRBO from a distance! It's homey with lots of details thought out with accommodations for guests, including consumable things which we haven't experienced at other VRBO's. The scenery is breathtaking with the beach in front and mountains behind you. We also appreciated the security of motion lights, cameras, private property signs, and securely locked entrances everywhere. The neighbor was great to interact with! The power went out for about 10 hours one day and when we got home late at night, she came outside to make sure we had flashlights and everything was ok. We enjoyed seeing her 2 pups cruise around the yard playing. The only place I feel the VRBO fell short was detailed cleanliness. It's surface clean and well kept, but I do notice things more than the average joe after growing up with a mom who owned a cleaning company. I did reach out to the host with a few things and she did respond quickly indicating that it would be pointed out to her cleaning service. So that's nice. All in all this is a wonderfully accommodating home in an AMAZING location.

We loved are stay. The house was fantastic.

We love the access to the beach across the street and the view from the living room and main bedroom. The ease of getting around from this location was very helpful. Shannon is a helpful host and very quick to get back to me with any inquiry I had. I will definitely stay here again. The price is right as well.

This house was perfect for our family! The host was great and responded promptly to our questions. The house was stocked with everything from beach chairs, umbrellas, beach toys, to cooking spices. It was also nice having a washer and dryer on site. It had everything we needed. It was great the house had A/C in the bedrooms which made for comfortable sleeping. Views of the ocean and mountains from the porch were beautiful. Sunrises in the morning were awesome and we would walk across the street to the beach to watch the sunrise with our morning cup of coffee. The kids(8 and 10 year old) really enjoyed the location. The home was as advertised and what we expected. Would definitely return to this location for sure.

Punalu'u Paradise is a wonderful place to stay if you want to escape the hustle & bustle of Honolulu. This house is located on the northeast part of Oahu, and it is a fairly short drive to the North Shore activities. There are majestic views of the ocean and the mountains from this house. The beach is just a one-minute walk across the street. During the week, it almost felt like a private beach, as there were very few people at all. There were a few more people on the beach during the weekend, but nothing compared to other beaches. The owner has provided beach towels, toys, snorkel masks, chairs, boogie boards, and a lot of other beach necessities. The beds were comfortable, and the house was clean and modern. The guest room has 3 bunks, which was perfect for our kids. The couch could also be used for an additional bed if necessary. The two bedrooms have A/C, but the main living area doesn’t. There isn’t a TV, but who wants to watch TV while you are in paradise anyway? Shannon was a very responsive host any time we had a question. All in all, this was a great place to stay, and we definitely will stay here again if we ever go back to Oahu.

This was the perfect location complete with beautiful sunrises every morning! We loved the house and would stay here again if available next year when we come!

Wonderful stay right across from the beach. Little hard to find turn in the dark, but a wonderful house with everything you need for your stay.

I can't say enough about how wonderful this property is! It's not just a place to sleep; it's really got the feel of a relaxing getaway. I loved being able to wake up and sit on the front veranda and watch the ocean (which was about a minute walk away), or just swing in the hammock and stare at the nearby mountains and foliage. The host has the home filled with all kinds of thoughtful touches, like beach toys, boogie board, supplies for roasting smores in the backyard fire pit, games, extra linens (it was fabulous not having to drag 7 beach towels in our luggage from the mainland!), and I could go on and on. Communication with the host was always super fast and easy, she was really, really nice. Basically I can't say enough about this home and how it made our family vacation such a wonderful trip and first visit to the island for our kids! They all decided that they want to live in Hawaii now. 😆 I would book this again in a heartbeat.
