If you're looking for a place to stay on the North Shore of Oahu, this house is in a great location. Very close to Waimea Beach and Waimea Valley Botanical Gardens and Waterfall. Also, easy access to several great beaches in the area and the historic town of Haleiwa. The house is directly on the ocean, separated by a sea wall. The views are simply spectacular.
The house is very well appointed and in good condition considering the age of the property. We had a few issues with things not working and the property manager did her best to correct them. I would say to the owner that it's probably time to invest in some upgrades/updates as the house is a bit overpriced for the condition. Our biggest issue was lack of air conditioning in the Master Bedroom (all the other bedrooms have A/C). Since the MB is upstairs, it got VERY hot since the room faces the setting sun. An A/C unit in the M/B would help tremendously.
That being said, we do not regret our stay! We booked the mini luau with Chef Sasha and it was way beyond our expectations, from the food to the dancers (including fire dancers) and live music, all right there on the outdoor space of the house with the ocean as a backdrop. An incredible experience for our family. I would definitely book Chef Sasha and her team again.
The warm salt water pool was a daily ritual for us, cocktails in hand. The oceanside outdoor space is where we spent most of our time. Overall, great vacation!
