Spacious North Shore cottage with lush mountain scenery in the country!

Enjoy this North Shore 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment in the beautiful Hawaiian countryside with stunning mountain views. It's a perfect place to unwind for your North Shore get-away. There is a Queen bed in the bedroom, and the living room has 2 pull-out memory foam sofa beds - 1 queen size, 1 full size. This rental sleeps up to 6 people. This unit has its own private full bathroom and kitchenette (no stove, but has a hotplate), plus access to washer/dryer, and is situated on a gated estate with lots of tropical fruit! There is an air conditioning unit in the living room which you are welcome to use to keep cool while you are enjoying the unit. Close to Haleiwa town, Waialua & Mokuleia beaches, hikes, surf, shopping and everything else the North Shore has to offer.

You can pick delicious fresh fruit straight from the organic farm orchards on the property - mangos, papayas, guavas, avocados, lychee, dragonfruit, oranges, grapefruit, apples, dragoneye, bananas, macadamia nuts - depending what's in season when you visit. There is a beautiful beach with a few amazing surf breaks right down the street! It's about 2.5 blocks to the ocean, about a 10 minute walk! Rinse off in one of our hot outdoor showers under the sunset sky when you come home from the beach as the moon and stars come out for the night.

The property is located in a country neighborhood with typical pet and country animal noises (roosters, dogs, etc.) There are dogs on property in a gated area. The tenants who live on property will allow them to run freely through the yard for exercise two or three times per day then bring them up to their house each evening. There is a gate with a padlock that you will need to put a code into and then manually push a gate open and close behind you every time you enter and exit the property.

This is a quiet country setting, so expect to hear typical country sounds like dogs, roosters, people & road noise. You can hear big waves crashing in winter during high surf season. You will occasionally hear EMS vehicle sirens if they are driving by in response to emergencies and the once-monthly testing of sirens at 11:45am on the 1st business day of the month. The neighborhood dogs will howl at the sirens. A few times per year, people in the neighborhood light off fireworks at night.

Long-term tenants/ other rentals on property. Please do not bring animals to this property. There is a dog on property who loves people but does not like other dogs. For everyone's safety, please do not bring animals to this property! Our cleaner also uses essential oils for cleaning the inside of the unit which are safe for human beings of all ages, but these essential oils are known to be toxic and fatal to dogs. This is not a safe environment for ANY animals to stay at.

EV charging requires it be the only thing charging in that circuit. If you attempt to charge an electric vehicle here, you will be putting your lives, as well as the lives of all our other tenants at risk. We thank you in advance for not putting lives at risk by starting explosions or electrical fires due to attempting UNSAFE EV charging here. There is a SAFE EV charging station 3 miles away in Hale'iwa town near Stonefish restaurant.

Quiet, clean & comfortable!
We loved staying in this rental. It was spacious & thoughtfully arranged. The unit was spotlessly clean and well equipped for our stay. The kitchen was well-stocked for all our cooking abd dining needs. There was ample cookware & serveware for us to use. We also appreciated that the host provided two sets of clean towels for us as well as a washer & dryer. The area was quiet and conveniently located away from the north shore traffic. Thank you so much, we hope to be back!

The advantages of staying there became apparent as we stayed longer. Initially we became aware that there was No stove, dresser space, small bathroom, manual padlock each time you entered and left the place. For children this is an awesome place as there were lots of animals around; dogs, puppies, chickens, all kinds of birds and gecko varieties. Tree swings, and a feeling of being safe and able to walk around for children was wonderful. The bed n the one room was comfortable. Air conditioning cooled down front room immediately; lots of fans. Lots of fresh fruit to pick; guava, mangos, avocados, etc. People who were staying there were very friendly and welcoming. Although not too close to the beach, had wonderful food at every place we ate at in Haleiwa and never had to wait to be seated very long. The washer and dryer were a big plus too.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The description was very deceptive…the WiFi was slow and of poor quality, there was no hot tub or pool, the space was extremely small and the kitchen was very minimal. It stated a stovetop which equated to a small two burner electric “stove” that could barely accommodate two 2 qt. pots (we were trying to make meals for a family of 5). There was a grill but no propane. It was three rooms attached to a larger dwelling that had permanent tenants who were raising chickens and dogs on the property so we woke up to crowing roosters and howling dogs every morning. There were other VRBO rentals on the property. There was also old and decrepit shipping containers and other junk on the property like old cars and such. There is a reason there are only three pictures of the same rooms. We ended up leaving a day early and going back to a hotel.

Perfect Country Retreat!
We had a wonderful stay at Tina's north shore cottage. The hustle/bustle of the big city (Honolulu) or resorts (Waikiki; Ko Olina) are not really our pace. Tina's rental was absolutely perfect. It was clean and quiet. The beds were comfortable. There were thoughtful touches like beach towels, beach toys, access to laundry. We enjoyed fresh mango, star fruit, guava and macademia nuts daily. For us, this location was perfect. Close to Hale'iwa we ended up there daily for dinner, water play, and poking around the cute little shops. We also did our own "circle tours" and took in all parts of the island - 40 min to the airport; 45min to Ko Olina for a luau and snorkel tour, 15 min from Dole Plantation, 30 min from Turtle Bay, etc... We made friends with the resident pups and the property resident, Jake (?), was friendly and informative - telling us about what fruits were on the property and telling us about the Noni fruit outside our door. All-in-all, we thoroughly enjoyed this stay and highly recommend.

Great North Shore Spot
Had a great time at this spot just outside of Haleiwa. Was super nice to be away from the hustle and bustle of Honolulu. The nearby beach public access takes you to a very quiet and quaint spot that is excellent for relaxing. The bedroom can stay kinda warm at night if you need the door closed, but other than that, you can't beat the location/price for the area.

Nice, but just the bare minimum
Host was friendly, property was nice and fenced and full of fruit trees. The location was perfect for us, away from the downtown and most touristy areas. As someone who likes to cook some meals at home, it was a struggle for a family of five. What I would consider the basics for cooking they didn’t have. Everything else about the home was just so-so, a place to stay. There are three big windows in the main room with a gorgeous view of the mountainside, but curtains only on 2 of the 3 and a bright street light shined in all night. AC is just a window unit and doesn’t reach the back bedroom too well and you definitely can’t close the door at night. The temperature was good and we were comfortable, but just mentioning so others are aware. Maybe a floor fan for the back room as the ceiling fan might not be enough. One thing I appreciated was that the listing mentioned the use of essential oils to clean versus chemicals. We are sensitive to scented linen and cleaning supplies so the lack of those was a plus for us. There is a gorgeous beach super close that doesn’t get too busy. This was also a plus. All around good stay. Thank you.

The place is wonderful! We enjoyed seeing all the green trees around us. Very easy to check-in. Very close to the beach and other well known places in North Shore. The place was clean and they provided enough towels and other beach accessories. My only recommendation to the Property Owner is to provide a mirror in the bedroom and change bathroom shower curtain. Other than that, my family and I were very satisfied with our stay. :)

I absolutely loved staying here. It is a magical property with fruit, flowers, puppies, chickens and a trampoline! The space was clean, airy, bright and comfortable. It is out of the way of the Haleiwa bustle but an easy drive to access beaches, ranches, hikes and amenities.
