We enjoyed a wonderful 3 night stay. Mike and Sharon were fantastic and provided us with great communication. Their home is lovely and we enjoyed exploring Haleiwa and nearby Turtle Bay. We'll be back!

WOW! I don’t even know where to start… as the title states, everything was perfect. Communication with the hosts, location of the property (both proximity to town and the beach), the condo itself with balcony, the “extras” they have available (detergent, beach chairs, snorkel gear, umbrella, etc), easy parking — just everything! The bed was very comfortable and temperature in the apartment was great. There are fans and an air conditioner so you can pick and choose what to use when. We can’t wait to come back! Thanks for everything!

This property was perfect for my husband and I! It was very clean, had all the amenities, and super close to shops/food/beaches/hikes. We ended up preferring the neighborhood beach as it was easy to walk to, quiet, and great swimming spot with a few sea turtles.

Wonderful Stay
We enjoy the space and how close (just a few minutes) we were to Haleiwa. We didn't get to enjoy the beach down the road from the place because of all the activities we had planned. The only negative to our stay is the heat if you are coming during the summer. There is a AC unit in the bedroom but unfortunately this doesn't help in the main room of the place. To keep costs down, they don't want you running the AC unit while you are gone so each night when we returned, the main room was extremely hot. Even with running the AC unit and keeping the bedroom door open, it still felt like a sauna. My recommendations to the owner would be to install a AC unit in the main room. Other than that, our stay was wonderful and quiet. Definitely recommend this place for a single person or a couple.

A perfect stay
This was our second time staying with Mike and Sharon and once again our stay was fantastic. The house is as beautiful, comfortable and clean as the pictures show. Mike, Sharon, their kids and even their guests are all very respectful of the privacy of the VRBO unit. We didn't hear the family at all during our stay but when we did contact them they were very responsive and helpful. Besides the accommodations, the location is FANTASTIC! The neighborhood has two close parks, its own beach (just blocks away) and we walked into town multiple times, its that close. We will definitely be back, again!

Great North Shore stay in Haleiwa!
Beautiful property, clean, modern, fully-equipped. Loved the balcony, watching all the local activity. Great location in Haleiwa - Adjacent to a large park, another large park just down the block the other way, fantastic beach a block away (swim, boogie-board, see turtles), a world-class surfing beach just a few minutes walk the other way. We managed without a car - walked into town everyday, took the bus to further places (Honolulu, Dole Plantation, etc.). Our only negative was the noise - although it is located in a nice, neighborly "quiet Haleiwa beach community", it is not a quiet area - The property is adjacent to a fairly busy road, and also to a beach access road with the occasional vehicle with extraordinarily-loud-thumping music going by. But you won't find a better spot to stay in Haleiwa!

Beautifully appointed one-bedroom, first floor apartment with private access via external stairs. First class kitchen facilities. Clothes washer and dryer were great. Adequate bathroom with large shower. Short walk to beach approx 150 m, great for swimming and saw a turtle! Free parking at front gate of property was super. Felt safe in this street. Air con only in bedroom and AC was too noisy leave running, so relied on ceiling fans - very warm inside in late afternoon and early evening. Owner left us alone but easy to contact if needed and provided the information we needed. Really enjoyed our stay.

The unit was super clean and cute. Right across from a magical tree and down the street from an amazing beach that isn’t too crowded. We love the town Haleiwa so many food options from good food trucks to restaurants. Lots of shops too. We found it easy to explore the North Shore. Hosts live downstairs and we’re friendly.

Awesome!
Just got back from 2 weeks in HI and this place rocked! I was looking for a different experience after staying in Waikiki for 5 years and chose this beautiful place. It was in a quiet, safe neighborhood, close walk to the beach, quick drive into Old Haleiwa; the lanai was great too. Mike & Sharon were so nice to deal with through PM & in person. Super helpful and even when we had an issue with something in the unit, they were so quick to help! The unit was super clean, and it had everything, I mean everything, you could think of to make your trip a great one from beach items to home items etc. It was a home away from home and I already miss it. Wish I could have stayed even longer. This isn't about the unit, but if you're looking to get around to sight see or drive into Waikiki etc, plan for somewhat long trips in the car (i.e. from the condo to Waikiki it took about 40-hour). I normally drive around a lot when I visit Oahu, but for some reason, I know we spent a lot more time driving in the car to get to destinations on the East & south side (which is fine). Some of the roads were closed or just had some high peak summer tourist traffic since this unit is by some great spots like Dole and Sharks Cove, Laniakea Beach, Waimea Bay etc. Plan ahead with time and you'll be fine. Either way it's the destination not the journey! Anyway, don't think too long about it. If you're looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki or just truly have a relaxing experience, this place is perfect for you. Trust me, you'll love it!

North shore oasis
We enjoyed our stay at Mike’s. It was our first time staying in North Shore and we loved how serene it was compared to the hustle and bustle of Waikiki. There’s a nice beach just a couple minutes walk away and you can follow that beach for a mile into downtown—it’s a beautiful sunny walk! Mike was very prompt with responding to any questions we had and restocking us during our long stay. There were even two yoga mats and a blender to our pleasant surprise, and we used them to start every morning. The unit is directly upstairs but we never had any issues with noise except for the occasional fire truck down the street. We cooked a few times and loved eating on the lanai. The internet was fine for my numerous zoom calls while working remotely. We would not hesitate to stay with Mike & family again next time we come to Oahu!

Heaven in Haleiwa!
If I could give this property 6 out of 5 stars, I would! This was a gem in the Northshore, and was exactly as described in the listing and the pictures - if anything, it was better! The location is great: super close to the historic strip of Haleiwa, and also a 2 minute walk to a great neighborhood beach (one of our favorites in all of the Northshore). but the great surf beaches are a 10-15 minute drive away if that's what you're traveling for. Although the apartment is above the homeowners, it is still very private and quiet. We never felt like we had to tiptoe around, or that we were intruding on anyone else's property. The space is bathed with beautiful sunlight throughout the day, and the kitchen is great for cooking. Since we stayed here for a month, we made great use of the dishwasher and laundry/dryer. The bathroom felt clean and newly renovated, even though a charming guestbook shows that this property has been around since 2018. As others have mentioned, there is only an air conditioner in the bedroom but we didn't need it since we were there in January, and there are also two great ceiling fans. We were sad to leave but would highly recommend this property to others: one of the nicest places we have stayed at, and we were sad when we left - it felt like home.

Lovely place by the beach
Mikes place was beautiful just like the photos, very modern and clean. The code lock entry makes checking in very easy and coming and going very easy without the hassle of keys. The place has everything you will need including beach equipment. It’s a short walk to the beach and located about a 10 min walk to the town. Parking is free and literally outside the property making it very handy. Our only negatives would be the Wi-fi is quite slow and disconnects quite a bit and as the only A.C unit is in the bedroom, so the place takes a while to cool down however there was a fan that did help, but apart from this we absolutely loved the property and would definitely stay again :)

A week in paradise
This was our first non-hotel experience...and it was worth every penny. The property was incredible - from the sparkling countertops to the exotic and large shower. Everything we needed, was there. The owners communicated with us over a month in advance - ensuring that the property conditions supported my asthmatic wife (to include a window A/C unit in the bedroom). The property is located about 1.5 blocks from a quiet beach - great for swimming and sunning. The neighborhood was quiet and we were within a mile of shops. All together, an enjoyable stay in fantastic conditions. If we travel back to Hawaii, we will stay again.

Immaculate unit
Wonderful unit in a quiet street, a few minutes walk from a beautiful beach. Immaculately clean with nice sheets and towels as well a beach chairs and a cooler. Full size fridge and good stove etc. Like all rentals, could do with some sharp knives. My only suggestion for international guests would be an inexpensive kettle for making tea without having to use the coffee machine (where the water always tastes of coffee). I really appreciated the quality washer/dryer with detergent provided. It is a good 20min walk from the town but I imagine most people will have a car. The surrounding views of the hills are amazing. Mike was very helpful and friendly and I never heard the family downstairs. A great place to stay.
