Would stay here again in a minute. We have two young children (2 and 4) and it was the perfect location for us- lots of gorgeous beaches to visit up north and many great places to eat (do a little research before you come). We felt very safe letting the kids play on this beach without life jackets- very little wave action, not too deep & nice sand to dig in. When the tide was in, it offered the adults a chance to do a little light snorkeling too. We had the entire beach to ourselves except for the huge monk seal sunning itself on the rock reef one day! The house itself is everything that you need- had lots of extra things, beach towels, boogie boards, coolers, chairs etc. It was quite windy on this side of the island but it only made it a little cooler (which was appreciated). The mangers were also very helpful and immediately were there when we had questions.

We celebrated our 30th Anniversary! Our stay turned out to be everything we had hoped for, and more. Laie is a special place and the beach house and private Bathtub Beach were gorgeous! We live in San Diego, but our water and sand and water temp are no comparison to Hawaii. Great beach and accomodations for couples and families! Nice Kitchen & bath. Spotless! They have everything, we mean everything, in the beach house you could possibly need. Pack light. Martha & Keld were most gracious and helpful to us. The Laie Hawaii Temple is a beautiful / peaceful place. Fell asleep to the sound of the waves and warm tradewind breezes everynight.

Great vacation. The home is beautiful. It is just like advertised. It has been recently remodeled and updated. The rooms are clean and well appointed. The beds are very comfortable. Each room has a dresser and end table. One room has a queen and the other has 2 twins. The kitchen has everything you need to cook any meal. A few spices, not many which is understandable. The kitchen was very clean and easy to work in. No dishwasher but that's ok. Granite countertops and smooth-top range. Never saw a bug in the 5 days we stayed. A few flies but we let them in.

The view is beautiful. You can see the ocean from the kitchen or sitting area and the larger bedroom. It is amazing. Walk a step out the back door and the ocean is right there. You can hear the crashing waves with the window slightly open. Very peaceful. Unfortunately you can also hear the rooster early in the morning. We saw many on the island so it must be a common thing. You get use to it in a couple days.

The PCC is literally across the street. Great place to see the culture, eat Polynesian luau and see an evening show. The north shore had lots of places to surf, swim and snorkel. We went on the beach in front of the house and it was ok. The tide was up so not much sand during the day. You have to go thru a gate and down about 12 steps to get to the beach. Its not tough. Our 86 yr old mom made it fine. If the tide is up then its mote difficult to see the big rocks at the bottom. There was a seal that came up one day. The water is pretty calm but also shallow unless you go over the reef.

Martha is so nice. She helped us with anything we needed. She had lots of ideas for us. We didn't get to meet Keld so maybe next time. Mahalo Martha.

The BBQ is a weber style not gas so you have to buy charcoal if you want to cook outside. They sell it at foodland up the street so no big deal.

The movie theatre was showing the Avenvers movie on opening day so that was cool especially since it was raining during the day.

We would recommend staying here. The blue house is great for 3-4 people. It took about 45 minutes to get here from the airport. Beautiful drive along the ocean and really easy to find. We felt very safe as 3 women staying in the area.

Victoria was very helpful in booking the home. Everything she said was true. We were refunded the security deposit in a couple days. Glad we choose this home after reading reviews for days trying to find the perfect spot.

We just returned home from a truly amazing week and made memories of a lifetime. We chose this home, in part, due to all of the great ratings of previous guests and we were not disappointed! Victoria contacted me immediately after I inquired about the rental and you could just hear the pride she had in her home. She had great follow-up and provided us with a lot of information. Martha, the property manager, greeted us our first night with such a warm Hawaiian welcome - we felt as though we knew her for years!

The listing was just as we had anticipated, however, I don't think pictures could ever do the view justice. I was simply amazing. We loved the location - we never had more than a 45-60 minute drive to some of the attractions we wanted to see - but we were always so glad to get back in the afternoon and evening. It was so quiet and serene and relaxing! I loved sitting on the bench and just soaking up the wind, the ocean, and the view of the mountains.

As the previous guest mentioned, we too laughed at the rooster. It was at times annoying but didn't really bother us overall. It actually reminded us that we were away from the hustle and bustle of Honolulu.

I am so glad that we found this little piece of paradise - I would definitely recommend!

We couldn't have asked for a more relaxing vacation.The place was very clean.and has all the basic stuff you need .Martha was wonderful,the Polynesian culture center was Amazing! Best part all you have to do is walk across the street the show is wonderful.The beach was great to snorkel in...saw some great fish.even had one in the party who doesn't swim or snorkel but she felt comfortable to attempt to snorkel in the bathtub beach...she did pretty good too. The only negative thing is there is a rooster who crows at 4:00 a.m but you get used to it and joke that he wants everyone up to see the beautiful sunrise ! Would love to take the whole family and rent the 3 bedroom ...

Loved our stay and enjoyed walking the beach each morning. Would recommend this place to anyone wanting a private beach, convenient tourist attractions, and a warm and friendly environment. We loved the bathtub beach and taking our little one. Safe, warm and beautiful clear water. Our bedroom faced the ocean and the beautiful sunrise greeted us each day. At night we could go to sleep with the sound of the waves out front. The newly remodeled kitchen and bath were awesome. The house was spotless. We especially like the kindness of the owner and the warmth of the property managers. We hope to return again. It was a long flight from the east coast, but well worth it.

My family really enjoyed our stay. The house was central to the attractions we wanted to visit (North Shore, Turtle Bay, Kualoa ranch, Pearl Harbor, etc. No more than an hour drive to any thing. What we really loved about our stay was the quiet at the house. Every night we slept with the window open and listened to the waves against the beach. No traffic noises at all. It was just the right blend of quiet and convenient. Thanks!

The house is spotless, welcoming and comfortably appointed in all the rooms. The kitchen and bath are great and are stocked with some basic supplies to start you out. In both the bedrooms the beds are comfortable and cozy, nice to fall into at the end of a long active day. There are plenty of towels and beach mats, boogie boards and water toys are all there for your use. Your lovely host Martha is handy and stops by to see if you have any questions or needs, but is not intrusive. It's great to have a knowledgable local so handy.

Farm stands and beach parks are not far down the road and many conveniences and attractions are nearby but the set-up of the houses makes you feel removed from the activity around you. A quiet cup of tea and some farm fresh pineapple on the lanai watching the sunrise over the ocean or an evening barbeque with the same view is priceless.

The beach is quiet and beautiful with only a handful of homes having access because of the geography, it also has a natural break water to create a calm swimming area in the afternoons. If I am lucky enough to go back to Oahu, I’ll certainly come back here.
