Sunset Beach Vacation Rental house

Unbelievable! The pictures do not do it justice. We like to stay as remote as possible when we vacation and this is as good as it gets on Oahu. Jay and Karen have bent over backwards to make this the ultimate vacation spot. The views are amazing, beaches and shopping close, and the kitchen is outstanding so you don't have to spend an arm and a leg for food. But if you need to eat out Ted's Bakery at the bottom of the hill is to die for. As for location, you can make it to Pearl Harbor in an hour....that's how small the island is.
For anyone who uses these reviews like my family does, there are no smoke and mirrors here. This is the best spot in Sunset Beach, northside, or all of Oahu to spend your vacation. You will not be disappointed. Guaranteed. Thanks again, Jay and Karen.

We had a great time on our first trip to Hawaii. We enjoyed the sunshine and warmth...scarce in Michigan in January. The accomodations were great. We took in Pearl Harbor and learned a lot. The botonical sites were beautiful. The golf was surprisingly affordable. We even saw whales from our ocean-view kitchen while eating breakfast one morning. We enjoyed seeing and hearing the crashing waves. For two people in their 50's accompanied by parents in their late 70's, even though the airplane ride was long, this was an ideal vacation spot. We packed a lot of activity into one week. It was great.

This place was AMAZING!!!! We absolutely LOVED this house--we will definitely recommend this place to our friends and family. Great location--up the hill behind Ted's Bakery, just across the street from Sunset Point, and within walking distance to Sunset Beach and V-land. Biking on the path down to Waimea for a swim (with a quick stop at Shark's Cove Grill for a snack) was a common theme during our stay!
Perfect location--not too far from Haleiwa, but not too close, either! We had friends staying at Turtle Bay Resort and they were super jealous of our place!!
I especially enjoyed the yard--I spent an entire morning looking at all the trees/flowers/plants/etc.!! Mountain views all around and the Pacific Ocean in front of us! We spent a LOT of time on the HUGE lanai--lots of chairs/loungers. There was a big grill (which we didn't use, but wished we had!) and the house had very comfortable furniture inside. No A/C, but the trades kept the house very cool (we visited in May)--so cool that we had to close our bedroom window at night! It was great.
The only thing that we DIDN'T find pleasant about the trip was the walk to Ted's--the walk itself was fine, but at the bottom of the hill there was a house with a BIG nasty dog that the owners let wander free. I found this out one morning while going for a run--fortunately, the owner was outside and managed to pull the dog away from me--it never bit me, but ran full speed at me and barked and grunted at me for a full 30 seconds before the owner yanked it away! Yikes!!! We ended up DRIVING to Ted's after that!!! This is the ONLY reason why I would not recommend this house to people with children.
(The dog also deterred us from biking past the house--fortunately, there is a road directly behind the house that you can access from the side yard--just go down the hill and it will hit the Kam hwy.)
Overall, we absolutely loved this place and can't wait to return!!!
