Everything you need…

We stayed at this property for the month of February. Nice to stay at a place that provides lots of little extras - even a spice drawer! Owner was great to communicate with and quick to respond to needs. We requested a cheese grater and it was on our doorstep the next day. There are 2 fabulous hikes at the end of the street. I got used to the crowing roosters, but the noise from the neighbourhood dogs was a little annoying. Lots of places to explore on the North Shore.

Great apartment in heart of town

Loved how close this was to the Polynesian Culture Center and Laie. The home is crammed into a neighborhood, but I think that's the style of the city. The air conditioning was amazing and the home is great. We were very happy with our stay.

Great location!

This was a gem of a find in a great location on the North Shore. Very well stocked with everything you need and well maintained. Just a short drive from our favorite beach, Sunset Beach. A family friendly community to stay in. Mike was a great host, we would definitely book again!

Happy Hawaiin Vacation Spot

Great location, close to Laie, BYUH, PCC and the North Shore beaches. The property has all that we needed to enjoy our time there. They also had beach chairs, body boards, coolers, snorkel gear, etc to enjoy the beach. Mike, the owner, was great to work with and accommodating our late check in and out because of our flights. Would be happy to stay there again.

We loved the home. It was lovely. Just wished it had AC throughout the whole house, more couch seating, and regular sitting chairs - not all tall ones. But overall, nice place.

Plenty of room, close to beach

We enjoyed our stay here. More A/C would have been nice but we didnt spend much time in the house. It's a long ways from all activities except the Polynesian cultural center and the Laie temple. It is very close to those two locations. We love the North Shore so it was nice to spend time at new beaches, that were less crowded than Waikiki and Honolulu.

Great Eastern North Shore Location

The location in Hau'ula was great with easy access to all the outdoor activities we wanted to do. House was just as described and and provided everything we needed for two families- (4 adults and 2 kids). The only disappointing thing, which has nothing to do with the VRBO itself, was that the beach right by the house isn't great for swimming and wasn't the greatest for kids due to some questionable people being there in the evenings/night; my husband took the kids there one evening but didn't stay as he didn't feel comfortable with the people/activities that were occurring a the time. That being said, overall we felt very comfortable in the neighborhood and there were several fantastic, kid-friendly beaches within a 5-10 min drive as well as the more popular beaches further up on the North Shore. Mike was great with communication and even though the owners live on this property, we didn't feel uncomfortable at all and it felt just like we had the whole property to ourselves. I would recommend this place and would definitely consider staying again if/when we come back to Oahu.

Very clean with modern island decor

When we first arrived, we were thrilled to see this property and ground exactly as described. It’s a beautiful island property with gorgeous vegetation. Entering the unit did not disappoint either. The hardwood floors throughout, the modern cabinetry and kitchen, the gorgeous bathrooms, and comfortable bedrooms were exactly as described in the listing. The beds were comfortable. I usually get back pain when we go out of town for more than a day or two. I’ve been here seven nights and feel great! Micheal was responsive and helpful. Having beach chairs and mini coolers to take to the beach, as well as snorkel equipment, saved us a ton of money while we were here and were very much appreciated. If I ever return to Oahu, this is where I would stay! I highly recommend it.

Great stay at a great place!

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. It offered a plenty of room for a family of 4 and we felt at home there. The area was very quiet at night so everybody had a great sleep to recharge their batteries for the next day's adventures. The house is relatively close to all major beaches and activities. Mike was extremely helpful and offered us access to everything beach goers ever needed, including cooler, beach chairs, beach towels and even snorkeling gear so we did no have to spend anything extra. He also included a some useful reference books for tourists so we could plan our activities and sightseeing ahead. The property was well maintained and tastefully decorated. The instructions were brief and clear. Check in and check out were simple and quick. We would definitely return next time!

Mom and her boys

This home was exactly as described and more. It was perfect for my two boys (26 & 12) and myself. You are right in the middle of the beautiful lush green mountains and the gorgeous beach. The beach is less than 1 block away. Mike was such an amazing host. He was very accommodating. I ran into a couple issues on my end and he gratefully worked with me making our trip memorable. I never had to wait long for him to respond, whenever i needed him, he was there. You can tell he takes pride in his home and truly cares about his renters. They provide a full kitchen including cookware, silverware, spices, coffee, coffee maker, towels etc.. i will definitely be coming back next time i am in Hawaii. Thank you Mike!

Very hospitable host

We enjoyed our stay. The house is a quick walk to the beach, a 7-11, and a small market on Saturday mornings. We were able to buy smoked meat, foods, eggs, fruits/veggies and local crafts. All walking distance. The neighborhood is quiet and overall welcoming. Mike is a great host and went above and beyond to provide for our needs.

Amazing time with family

What a wonderful vacation with three of my children. Pleanty of room for everyone. The owners live downstairs and were great resources for inquiries we had. At first I thought it might be awkward having them below us, but we barely saw or heard them. And Mike was responsive to any questions. We all look forward to a return visit to this wonderful home.

Fantastic House close to beach and north shore

Our family of 6 stayed at Mike's place and everything was great. The information and pictures in his listing are accurate and represented the property well. We enjoyed the location and it was easy to get to different places. It is a short walk to a beach and there are grocery stores and pharmacies that are very close (one is less than half a mile away). Having stayed at a number of vacation rentals, Mike stands out as an excellent owner. He is extremely responsive and clearly takes pride in his place. He was easy to work with and communicated clearly and quickly. The place was very clean and well maintained. He was very quick to resolve any issues that arose. As an example, a previous guest found that the mattress was a little hard so he ordered a new mattress topper and replaced it while we were there. We were actually happy with the other mattress (the new topper did improve the bed quite a bit), but he clearly listens and responds. Notably, he even checked in to see how things were and if we needed anything. There were lots of extra's that we really appreciated like spices, cooking oil, and coffee. He also had chairs, boogie boards and such that we could borrow. I would definitely recommend staying at this house. Thank you for hosting us.

About the host

Hosted by Mike

Aloha! I've lived on Oahu for over 30 yrs. I love living here in Hawaii...the climate, ocean, natural beauty, & laid back lifestyle.

I have several outdoor hobbies, including surfing & photography. My wife & I have 2 young boys.

Why they chose this property

Beach parks, hiking trails, grocery stores, restaurants, food trucks, shops, etc. are conveniently located nearby. This small rural community is authentically Hawaiian, unlike touristy Waikiki.

The 2 lane highway along the east side hugs the coastline, offering spectacular ocean & mountain views, making it the most scenic drive on the island, IMO.

There are 2 popular state hiking trails (Hauula Loop Trail, & Maakua Ridge Trail), plus a paved scenic nature path just a short walk from the house.
