About this property

North Shore Tropical Studio with breathtaking mountain views!

This beautiful studio apartment with stunning mountain views is a perfect place to unwind for your North Shore get-away. The studio features a queen bed with additional twin bed, and it sleeps up to 3 people. There is air conditioning which you are welcome to use to keep cool while you are enjoying the unit. The studio is equipped with a full bathroom, kitchenette (no stove, but there is a hot plate), spacious patio deck, access to washer/dryer, and is situated on a gated estate with lots of tropical fruit! Close to Haleiwa town, Waialua & Mokuleia beaches, hikes, and all the North Shore has to offer.

You can pick delicious fresh fruit straight from the organic farm orchards on the property - mangos, papayas, guavas, avocados, lychee, dragonfruit, oranges, grapefruit, apples, dragoneye, bananas, macadamia nuts - depending what's in season when you visit. There is a beautiful beach with a few amazing surf breaks right down the street! It's about 2.5 blocks to the ocean, about a 10 minute walk! Rinse off in one of our hot outdoor showers under the sunset sky when you come home from the beach as the moon and stars come out for the night.

Property is located in a country neighborhood with typical pet and country animal noises (roosters, dogs, etc.) There are dogs on property in a gated area. The tenants who live on property will allow them to run freely through the yard for exercise two or three times per day then bring them up to their house each evening. There is a gate with a padlock that you will need to put a code into and then manually push a gate open and close behind you every time you enter and exit the property.

This is a quiet country setting, so expect to hear typical country sounds like dogs, roosters, people & road noise. You can hear big waves crashing in winter during high surf season. You will occasionally hear EMS vehicle sirens if they are driving by in response to emergencies and the once-monthly testing of sirens at 11:45am on the 1st business day of the month. The neighborhood dogs howl at the sirens. A few times per year, people in the neighborhood light off fireworks at night.

Long-term tenants and other rentals on property. Please do not bring animals to this property. There is a dog on property who loves people but does not like other dogs. For everyone's safety, please do not bring animals to this property! Our cleaner also uses essential oils for cleaning the inside of the unit which are safe for human beings of all ages, but these essential oils are known to be toxic and fatal to dogs. This is not a safe environment for ANY animals to stay at.

EV charging requires it be the only thing charging in that circuit. If you attempt to charge an electric vehicle here, you will be putting your lives, as well as the lives of all our other tenants at risk. We thank you in advance for not putting lives at risk by starting explosions or electrical fires due to attempting UNSAFE EV charging here. There is a SAFE EV charging station 3 miles away in Hale'iwa town near Stonefish restaurant.

It was fine.

I wasn’t prepared for a compound or getting out to unlock and lock padlock for gate each time we left. I knew people lived in the house on main level, but wasn’t aware of other buildings.I knew there were dogs, but barked at us coming and going. The stay was fine, but not what I was expecting.

Cozy studio in the country

Lovely upstairs studio that looks like it’s been recently renovated. It has everything you need for your stay. The bed was comfortable and the kitchenette was well set up. The sunrise from the room and balcony was breathtaking. It is a multiple unit property. A couple of other residents have big dogs that were well managed but good to know that it’s communal living. The only challenge was having lock and unlock the entry gate. It is a short drive to Haleiwa and its quaint shopping and dining spots.

Peaceful and quiet.

Very well kept property with parking right next to the front door. I was concerned about the dog and rooster noise mentioned in prior reviews, turns out there was nothing to be worried about. Once the dogs get to know you the barking is extremely minimal. Can’t recommend this property enough.

Wonderful Stay

We loved this VRBO just 10-15 minutes away from Waimea beach. Our last 2 days of our honeymoon were spent exploring the north shore. The host went above and beyond, leaving a personalized card and gift to welcome us into this vacation rental. Wonderful stay, highly recommended!

Perfect property, beautiful, quiet and everything you need for a nice vacation.

I am from Hawaii, the North Shore of Oahu, and had recently sold my house. I had family in town and needed a bigger place for them to stay, It was an absolutely perfect beautiful space, all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay, quiet, a close walk to the beach, and a beautiful property. I will definitely be staying there again in the future.

Such a lovely place

We were very impressed with the beauty & cleanliness of this rental. The property manager was very responsive, helpful and went above & beyond to ensure our needs were met. Excellent, prompt responses and very friendly manager. The unit was very spacious and quiet. We used the air conditioning and we didnt hear any of the neighborhood noises at night that other reviews mentioned. The views were breathtaking and we loved using the large deck space. I was able to enjoy some late season mangos, plus starfruit, papayas, avocados, and we even cracked open a few macadamia nuts frest off the tree in the yard. I will definitely be back!

As other have said you will hear dogs barking, but the A/C does a great job of drowning that out. There is plenty of fruit trees when in season. Owners are friendly. Nice beach within walking distance.

We loved the quiet of this location and the north shore. The nearby town of Haleiwa was adorable. We love the beaches and food trucks of this area. The roosters were talkative in the morning but we learned to love them.

Mokuleia

We enjoyed the mountain view space very much. It’s in a real community of the north shore and your accomodation dollar is supporting genuine local people. We found it handy to the Halieva food trucks and the beaches are awesome. You will need a rental car though. The space is comfortable and good value.

Fantastic studio in a quieter area

We had a great time staying here! The property is nice and big, and there will likely be residents around in the other parts of the house. However the studio is on the 2nd floor and feels nice and private, plus has gorgeous views from the windows. The bathroom was nice and clean and the mini kitchen is nice for coffee/tea/storing leftovers/etc. Would definitely recommend this unit for anyone looking for a nice, quiet and beautiful location for 1-2 people :)

Great for getting a residential feel of the area

Super easy check in and stay. The place is upstairs with a great view of the mountains. The walk to beach is about 10-15 minutes and you can also drive an park. Beautiful beach and we went a lot because it was so easy. The unit is attached to the house but upstairs so very private. The kitchen has a hot plate and microwave which worked great for us.

Nice place

The property was pretty much as advertised. It was very clean. You had to leave the unit to get to the bathroom across the hall which was a little bit odd. Also, there is a step between the living area and the kitchen that one could easily fall over. I put a Gatorade bottle on the step so I didn't fall flat on my face. The unit itself is tiny. There is no desk to set up a laptop inside. The outdoor porch is nice. Nice location and easy to find. Overall, satisfied with the unit although some wine glasses or beer mugs would be nice.

Homey in Hawaii

Comfortable studio apartment above the main residence is located in a typical, residential neighborhood about a fifteen minute walk to the beach. There are no amenities within walking distance. The adorable little town of Haleiwa is a fifteen minute drive and is full of tourist amenities. The four large dogs on the property do bark during the nights and early morning hours but not continuously. The “orchard” is a dozen trees that do bear some fruit despite being neglected. There’s a busy main thoroughfare that runs along the border of the property. The full time residents are quiet and polite. The Mountain View is gorgeous.

Cozy spot in a beautiful place

This location is a perfect place to be close to a more isolated and authentic part of Hawaii. The beach is a few blocks away and the walk there is through a lovely neighborhood. There are other beach access spots close too, but those would be a short drive. The rooms were comfortable, clean, and well maintained. The host offered a few chairs and umbrellas to take to the beach too, which was nice. The only thing to be aware of is, like lots of rural Hawaii, you will hear the roosters crow at sunrise. But take advantage of the early wake up call and go for an early morning walk on the beach!
