Vacation beach home for sun and fun

Overall positive experience, but wouldn't stay here again. The property is good, has some quirks, but very spacious, great location on the North Shore. We stayed here for one month in December of 2024.The main issues we had were regarding a mold/mildew smell we detected soon upon arriving. We asked the host to fix, he begrudgingly cleaned what we thought was the source of the smell (AC unit in our bedroom) it did help significantly. As time went on, we continued to smell mold/mildew, emanating from one of the closets. Based on how defensive and unhelpful the host reacted the first time we asked him to fix the issue, we just put up with the smell for the remainder of our trip. Please be more willing to help when issues arise, don't make me beg, just fix it or find someone who can.

This was a great place that accommodated our family perfectly. The location was perfect! Very close to everything we wanted on the north shore. The beach was literally 30 seconds away. We loved the deck! Mike was an excellent host and was super helpful from the moment we arrived until departure. This isn't a resort, so don't expect it to be. If your looking for a comfortable home with lots of room, close to the beach then this is your destination. We loved our stay!

This was a perfect set up for my husband, myself, my 2 kids, and my in-laws. The two floors allowed for some privacy, but also great common spaces for everyone to hang out. The lanai was beautiful and all the fans and air conditioning units made it so comfortable. It is so close to the beach, less than a minute walk. We saw turtles and beautiful sunsets. And a warm outdoor shower to wash off the sand. Mike was great and super helpful. Would definitely stay again!

What a fantastic stay! A walk across the street to a great beach that feels private, is fun for snorkeling, allows sunset and sunrise viewing, and has frequent turtle sightings. Mike is a tremendous host!! The house he built is so spacious and has everything you’d need and more- there are chairs, a surfboard, and boogie boards for the beach, Bluetooth speakers that rock the whole house, and a wonderful balcony with a ton of seating and great views- This was a terrific vacation and Mike’s attentive hosting and this great house were a giant part of that!

Everything you could think of and more. 1 house off the beach. Mike is super helpful. Relaxing place. Thx .

This was a perfect fit for our family. The Landlord was very hospitable and good to work with. If I ever go back to Hawaii This is where I would stay!

Marie and Mike's place is a real gem, great location, lots of space, and excellent hospitality.

We had a great stay at Mike’s place. His place was clean, organized and welcoming, Mike was welcoming. His laid back Hawaii style made us feel like staying at an old friend’s place. Our 3 teenage sons stayed comfortably in the boho style bottom level complete with stereo, tv, shower and kitchenette. The upper level had a full kitchen, full bath, 2 masters. And an entire outdoor covered deck. Mike had all the body-boards, snorkel gear and towels already there for us to use. The beach is easy walking distance. We will definitely be back.

We really enjoyed our stay. It was exactly what we needed to get away from the city and chaos of life. There was plenty of space, we could have had an even bigger group comfortably.

It was great to have easy beach access and our host was a great guy. The house had plenty of beds. We had 8 in our group and we were all very comfortable.
