10/5-9/2007 - After a couple days in Waikiki, The Sharks Cove Getaway was an excellent way to spend our last few days in Oahu. We traveled the windward side of the island from Oahu and it was gorgeous. Our short stay did not warrant a Costco stop and with Foodland within walking distance we had everything we needed.
Close to excellent snorkeling, a walk across the street to Sharks Cove, a short walk to Three Tables and a short drive to Waimea Bay.
The house is spacious with ipod dock, high-speed internet access (and a desk with an excellent view of Shark’s Cove), a huge lanai, new bar-b-que, bikes and everything you need to enjoy a day at the beach. A shared full size washer and dryer with soap and dryer sheets was handy.
The view from the bedrooms gives the feeling of being in a tree-house. We did not notice there was no TV in the room until our last night. Linens are new and plentiful. The nightly rain was enjoyable. This is the wet side of the island so lots of gorgeous vegetation.

We had such a fabulous time during our stay in this Shark's Cove home. The house was very comfortable and equipped with eveything we needed to relax. We spent mornings and evenings watching the sun rise and set. Everyday we rode the bikes down the beautiful trail between Waimea Bay and Sunset Beach. The grocery store and Starbuck's was just a few minutes stroll away. The wireless Internet was a nice convenience and were the washer, dryer and fully equipped kitchen. We look forward to returning and will definitely do our best to stay in this house again.
Wonderful North Shore Vacation!

What a great location. The house was very comfortable and everything we needed was there. The bikes were the best part. I rode the beach path daily. Coffee every morning on the rocks across the street watching Whales! I'll be back.

I stayed at this welcoming cottage with family the end of October 2008 and absolutely loved it! I can go into several details, but I won't because there are too many to list! When we walked in, we were extremely impressed with everything - location, decorations, size, friendliness, and much more. I immediately felt like I was in a retreat and felt this could have been my home. We were blessed to have our vacation to be so wonderful and especially want to thank Dave and Michelle for their outstanding hospitality!!! Aloha, Venessa
Great North Shore Beach House

This is a funky 60s beach house with a great location on the laid back North Shore. The location just across the street from Shark's Cove is wonderful. It is also just a short drive from pretty much anything on the North Shore. It was perfect for our family of four with two teenagers.
We had a wonderful vacation here and would happily rent this property again. I would recommend this house to friends, but I would not recommend it to anyone with limited mobility. The house is on the second floor, which is good since it gives it separation from the street, which is busy. There is also a short set of stairs between the living room and the rest of the house.

Wow, where do I start. We had the best holiday we've ever had. Hawaii is
amazing, even more beautiful and special than I ever would have dreamt. We really fell in love with everything about it.
Our first week was spent in Waikiki in a condo. We had an awesome time at
the beach, surfing, shopping, hired a harley, went to the zoo and pearl
harbour. We then hired a car and drove up to the North Shore stopping at the
beautiful beaches along the way. We stopped for shrimp at Giovanni's truck,yum, yum before reaching the house.
From the moment we walked in we were blown away with how fantastic it was.
The view from the deck was awesome and everything about the house was just
as you described and how it looked in photos. We just loved having the
snorkelling gear, beach gear and especially the bikes and everything else that you just don't get when you rent from a hotel. It was also very
spacious, and the five of us had plenty of room to sprawl about. The house really is in the perfect location, so handy to everything and being across the road from Shark's Cove was just amazing. We snorkelled everyday and saw some beautiful fish and turtles. We liked exploring Haleiwa and having shave ice from Matsumotos. Rode the bike to Pipeline and Sunset everyday for a surf. We explored Waimea Valley and swam at Waimea Bay at Sunset. Went for a horse
ride at Happy Trails.
We really just enjoyed absolutely every second of it. We will rave to everyone who asks about Hawaii and certainly recommend your house to anyone who plans to visit. We would go back in an instant if it was
possible! It really is Heaven on Earth!
Everything was just perfect and wouldn't change a thing except maybe to book for longer next time!
Thank you so much for sharing your house with us.

We will definitely be back. The place was perfect, with everything you could ask for. Saved a ton on meals by going to foodland and cooking at the house and even used the brand new grill. Ate most of our meals on the amazing deck. I miss it already. The view was beautiful and it was close to all of the great beaches on the north shore. Surfed at Chun's Reef, went several times to Waimaia Bay and Pipeline went to the west side of the island to the Kua Loa Ranch and rode horses. Everything was extremely close and accessible. Sharks cove was beautiful too. I don't know why you would want to stay anywhere else. it is the perfect spot. Jack (the person who takes care of the grounds) does an excellent job and is super nice and very informative. I can't wait to get back there. Thanks so much for having us.

Our family enjoyed this rental. Our kids swam in a cove across from Kapuhi Street and enjoyed snorkeling in Shark's Cove. The deck is fantastica and the grocery is a short walk down the road. Thank you very much.
Comfy, casual, laid-back--fits the North Shore

The description of this property is accurate and honest. The location is stunning--just walk across the street and dive right into Shark's Cove!
I should note that Kam Highway can be busy even at night on the weekends, so anyone sleeping in the living room may want to have some ear plugs handy if you're staying during peak tourist season. Noise is not a problem in the bedrooms.
The house has a mid-sixties beach cabin feel--very open and breezy. It is an older wooden structure, so it naturally showed signs of wear, for example there were creaking doors that didn't quite latch, but nothing a bit of WD-40 and a screwdriver couldn't fix.
The orientation packet could have been clearer about details like the location of the laundry facilities (ground floor behind the deck); the hose for rinsing beach stuff (hidden under the deck halfway down the second set of stairs over on the left side of the house); the fact that you have to call the managers to get the combination for the bicycle locks.
Overall, this place is a great value if you are looking for casual and comfy and don't require fancy amenities. I'd recommend it to my friends.
