Iconic Views Beachfront Condo
Loved the quiet private beach. The location was wonderful perfect for all that we had planned - We plan on coming back!

Lava Hale: North Shore, Oahu
Great location and great host who responded very quickly.

Second Wind, Ocean front, Sunrise View!
This place was fantastic! So happy we chose to stay here. Beautiful view from the living room. The beach is so peaceful. I loved that there was a pool and a gym. The gym is right on the beach and has what I needed for lifting weights. It was the best. This beach is great for sunrises and early mornings. The kitchen was great. Only thing missing was a baking pan for the oven, maybe I just couldn’t find it. There were appliances and cooking utensils and the glassware and plates were cute. We also enjoyed the lanai. I highly recommend this place. One of the best Airbnb locations we have ever stayed in.

The Palms at Punalu'u - North Shore
We loved our stay in Punaluu. To be able to walk out the back slider and out to the beach was incredible! We often walked on the beach in our pajamas to go see the turtles (between 9pm and 5 or 6am on the northern section). The beach on the property was calm for a quick swim, and it was easy to drive to other spots for more fish or more waves! There were plenty of kitchen supplies and we loved having a washer and dryer. There were 2 beach chairs and boogie boards which were fun especially at Hukilau beach. There were 2 sets of snorkels which were awesome at Sharks Cove as well. It was easy to do things in Laie or explore other places. We loved this location and felt like it was the perfect spot on Oahu to have vacation but not just feel like a tourist. The location is a little dated, but it was cute inside and had all we needed! To have an accessible beach out your backyard is a dream! Don't miss the turtles, either!! They were so fun to watch.

Hawaiian sunrise retreat
If you ever have a chance to stay on this side of the island…do it! This was my third time staying in this building, but my first time at Peter’s unit, and it was absolutely beautiful. We made a quick two-day trip over from Maui, and this spot made it totally worth it. Although we didn’t get to take full advantage of everything the unit had to offer, I was really impressed by how spacious it was. I also noticed a large bin on the balcony full of beach gear. That will be super thoughtful for longer stays! I’ll definitely be keeping this place in mind for my next visit. Thank you for the lovely accommodations!

Make your next vacation, Paradise!
My family just returned from a truly wonderful vacation at the Hawaiian Princess. Mary’s place was perfect - very clean, cozy, and quiet. My husband is a go-go-go type of guy who has a hard time sitting still, and he said that this is the most relaxed he’s ever been. It’s not located in a walkable neighborhood, but after spending all day playing in the soft sand of the beach, relaxing in the jacuzzi, and napping between beach time, we were all ready to sleep once the sun went down. We happened to have big waves the entire time we were there due to NW winds, which meant no swimming out into the water for us, but my young kids had fun watching body surfers as well as playing in the swash. Mary was always quick to respond, which made our stay that much more pleasant and easy. We would love to come back for another stay!

9K Hawaiian Princess - Alii Hale Aina
My husband and I stayed at the Hawaiian Princess on our honeymoon, and I can only describe it in five words: Quiet, comfortable, clean, safe, and relaxing! We would stay here again on a future vacation and highly recommend it.

Aloha Beach Front Cottage
Jacqui’s place was incredible and her instructions were clear. You can’t beat the scenery and location. It’s a laid back vibe but lots of families running around. Waking up to see turtles on the beach and then snorkelling with them later in the day was my kids highlight of the trip. The house is comfortable, though it does get quite warm without the windows open. If the windows are open then there is tons of airflow. If we come back to O’ahu, we will be trying to book this little piece of paradise again!

Oceanfront haven- let the waves lure you to sleep!
Turtle's place was nice. It's in an 8 story condo bldg & a bit confusing at first. The parking spot is in a difficult place if the spots around it are occupied. She informed us that backing in is prohibited so backing out in the small space was hard. It would have been easier to be able to back in when the spots were empty so I could pull right out. It wasn't impossible, just be aware! The condo itself is misleading. The description says "let the ocean waves lul you to sleep." In order to do that, you have to sleep on the sofa bed in the LR, and you have to leave the house unsecured. Since I am a woman & was traveling with my granddaughter, I was not leaving the house unlocked! Security was present every night. The BDRM is next to the elevator so you hear everything & everyone all night. You have to keep windows open for a breeze or you'll melt with no AC. The place proved to be perfect when all was & done and Turtle was wonderful. She was very responsive. I will be back! We felt safe!

New Remodel, Pool, Beach Access, A/C, @ Turtle Bay
Amazing place that’s a short drive to the water, and lots of local food options. I will definitely stay here again. The bunkbeds are so fun.

North Shore getaway condo with pool
This condo is amazing! Right on the beach, beautiful sunrise each day right from the lanai. Safe and comfortable. Snorkeling and swimming awesome. Condo Stocked well with everything needed for a family vacation. Great location on the quiet north west side of Oahu. Definitely would stay again!

Legal BEACHfront Condo, free pkg, pool, hot tub! 2
The condo was exactly as described. The location was perfect. I've stayed in this area before, but this is the quietest beach I've ever been to. Yes, there are homeless in the area but that is true of all of Hawaii. Safe; this is a very safe area (I'm very comfortable walking through the neighborhood). Very secure parking lot and security staff are present all of the time. Clean; I've owned Air BandB's and this is the cleanest unit I have ever seen. The owners are easy to communicate with and respond quickly. We had a minor glitch with the remote and they responded within minutes. Kitchen is well-equipped. We cooked a lot while staying there. Having the washer and dryer in the unit makes a huge difference. I lost two (very sentimental but inexpensive rings while there). Luckily, the housekeeper found one and is mailing it back to me this weekend (Truly appreciate). Great place. Fold out couch is a fold out but there is a nice topper on the mattress. Highly recommend.

Beautiful, modern beachfront condo-NEWLY RENOVATED
Wonderful location! Clean - easy - great communication. Loved everything and really - the best location!

🏝 North Shore Island Bungalow, Steps to Beach
Julie’s place is in a great location, is within walking distance to the beach and was very comfortable. Parking was limited if you arrived back to the apartment later in the evening.

Makaha Luxe
As first time family going to Hawaii we loved the condo! Clear instructions and it’s really easy to understand the routine once settled. We loved the ocean front view to get beach was easy.

Beachfront Condo w/ Amazing View
The property was absolutely gorgeous and the views were incredible would definitely stay again!
