48 Reviews of Property 138931 in Laie, Hawaii

Excellent views, wonderful people, nothing short of amazing.

First time in Hawaii and we couldn't have asked for a better home base. The house is exactly as described...not huge but more than big enough for our family of 4, including two teen boys. The beach right outside your door is great - especially for those who want a calm place to swim and snorkel. If you want big waves for body surfing there are lots of beaches within a 20-30 minute drive, including the public beach "Pounders"...which is literally around the corner. It soon became one of our favourites.

If you don't want the crowds of Waikiki this is a great choice. We did day trips to Honolulu for Pearl Harbour, Diamond Head, etc. Less than an hour's drive down the beautiful east coast and you're in Honolulu to do all the touristy things. 20 minutes in the opposite direction and you're in the heart of the big waves of the North Shore, including Haleiwa. But at the end of the day you get to come back to your little house on your private beach - and it really was private as we literally saw about 10 people on the beach the whole time we were there.

The property is shared, as other reviewers have mentioned, but that wasn't an issue for us. The people in the two other units were very nice and we rarely saw them. Our sons pretty much had the run of the yard for playing catch. Martha and Keld right next door were very helpful with any questions we had...and gave us free run of their yard to retrieve stray footballs that went over the fence :-)

Oh, we were lucky enough to see the Seal that others have mentioned. He or she is amazing, and massive!!

All in all a fabulous vacation in a fabulous location. We definitely would go back and recommend it to our family and friends. Many thanks for sharing your lovely house with us!

My husband and I visited this lovely get-a-way the first of February. We wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life and the cold of our home state on the mainland. We found this delightful little bungalow very relaxing and peaceful, warm and definitely away from busy life. The kitchen and bathroom have been upgraded.

The calm beach with small waves protected from the big surf by two reefs that was actually just outside the backyard was perfect. We are thinking of taking our grown children and their children there and renting more of the units in the complex.

The manager was friendly and helpful, even leaving a key ring with a discount card for the local Foodland supermarket just half a mile down the street. The unit was clean and orderly with everything we needed, including some beach towels and a cooler!

Being just across from the Polynesian Cultural Center was convenient and within a half hour of pleasant drive to Haleiwa and Waimea Bay where the great surfers show their stuff was a highlight!

If you're looking for a peaceful, private place to relax and recuperate from real life, rent this place! Way better than a high rise condo in busy Honolulu or a condo in a big, impersonal resort. All you're giving up are the crowds and hassles you planned to get away from!

This was my first time renting a place for vacation and I was a little apprehensive but Victoria ( owner ) was easy to contact and all the key points were easy to address .
We spent a week at the property and it was fabulous close to all amenities ,15min from northshore ( big waves) quaint shops and restaurants. We explored a new beach everyday , the beach at the property is beautiful its truly like described ( bath tub ) perfect for small children , good snorkeling white sand , its called the windward side for a reason but on our stay there was perfect weather slight wind perfect ocean breeze. I spent many mornings watching the sunrise with a coffee in hand, one would think you would hear traffic noise from the Polynesian cultural center but you don’t atoll .
The house is clean throughout nice new kitchen no AC you don’t need it, at nights it’s perfect temperature the caretaker was very friendly and took care of any issues. Its not really a detached house it has 3 units one 3 bedroom and one bachelor suite all shearing the same 100ft of ocean front lot , now this was not a issue for us we had no problem with that , we enjoyed the other family in the 3 bedroom unit but if we were a signal couple with no kids it would be, having said that the property was perfect for us . We would with out question stay again and recommend it to others.

My Family had a terrific time here. The property is VERY well maintained and clean. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. The on-site Manager was very kind, helpful and pleasant. The beach and views were perfect. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone with kids or without. Thanks!

Is this Laie or Paradise?! If you are looking for the lights people and excitement of the big city then this place is not for you, but if you are looking for peace, quiet and AMAZING views this IS the place for you! The incredible sunrises—come on, you may not get up that early at home but your body won’t be on Hawaii time for a few days so enjoy it!! The air is so clean that you can really breathe! The sound of the waves crashing on shore outside your window is like the best lullaby you can imagine and the views of ocean and mountains will stir your soul! The Polynesian Cultural Center just across the road is a “don’t miss” if you want to have a real picture of the cultures of the Islands. We have never rented a vacation home before but this experience has changed that forever!

Victoria (the owner) contacted me right away when I requested information and she and Laurel (her assistant) were very helpful. Martha (the onsite host) was there to greet us when we arrived and made us feel right at home! The house is clean, well equipped and very well maintained (rust at the beach is a constant battle!) and the beach right outside the living room and first bedroom is lovely for anyone who isn’t looking for a place to surf—you need to move to a place with fewer rocks for that, but it’s the North Shore—those places are not far away! Our daughter had a blast finding different fish just off the beach!

We can’t wait to come back! Mahalo, Victoria and Martha!!

The property was as descibed on the web site. Enjoyed having the beach "right there". Propety was clean although somewhat dated. I will be interested to see new kitchen!

The location is breath taking and the owner was very easy to work with. We had a monk seal sunning itself on our beach one morning. The evening breezes made sleeping a delight. We were visiting our daughter at BYUH and the location couldn't have been more convenient. We went to the PCC twice (bounce back opportunity) and hiked to Laie Falls as well as snorkling and body surfing at our and other local beaches. We would definitely rent again if the opportunity rises.
