Oceanfront Beach House - Spectacular Views & Privacy

The location cannot be beat! The house had everything you need for a comfortable stay. There were plenty of beach towels and outside games like bocci ball and corn hole. It is a beach house and you have to expect everything that goes along with that. We never used the air conditioning as we kept the windows open. Plenty of sea breeze but also some humidity. The host Dave always responded quickly when we has questions. The only quirk was the driveway as you are sharing it with the house next door. We had a hard time finding it in the dark. No street lights so it was very dark. The lanai in front and back were large and very nice to have when it rained. Location was great since it was centered between the East and North shores. Traffic is always busy! It is an island after all. We stayed 3 weeks and saw a lot of this beautiful island. The beach is literally at your door. I already miss the sounds of the ocean. We also saw whales right in front from the lanai!

This home is in an excellent location. Privacy and a beautiful view. The home is lovely, and the lanai is perfect for watching the waves all day. The furniture inside and outside is comfortable. We will be back!

The host was great, sent recommendations of things to do in the area and let us check into the house early! The house was clean and very nice, had everything you could need, including washer and dryer, which was so helpful. Couple of things to note- the beach access is not directly behind the house. You have to go through the trees on the side of the house and make your way down. Still was nice to have the beach accessible though!The house is advertised as a house with AC, but per the check in notes for the house, they highly encourage you to NOT use the AC units in the house, and instead use the ocean breeze. They also mention that Hawaii has high electric bills - so somewhat of a guilt trip there haha. It was quite warm inside, so we did use the AC… especially for the price you pay to stay here.Lastly, there are quite a few cameras around the house that were not disclosed in the listing. The main one that was the most uncomfortable was the one on the back patio. It just felt like someone was watching you at all times. I understand that it is likely for security purposes, but if you don’t disclose it, it makes people uneasy.Overall, great place to stay! Would stay there again if there were no cameras! :)

Overall the property is fine. Images are true to picture. Because it’s so close to the ocean, we found that the front porch and front of the house was always coated with sea mist. Just something to be aware of. The main living area always felt damp because of this. The main reason for our mediocre review though is the host. We booked this in Dec’23 for a June’24 stay. On the day of our arrival, we received a message that the only road in and out of the property was destroyed in a winter storm and would be closed 8am-3pm during the weekdays. Having two teens and a very active vacation planned, that was disappointing but we thought that we would try to work with the inconvenience. In day 3 of our stay, after having to move our car every day before 8am or lugging our stuff to the car and not being able to return midday easily, we were informed by the construction crew that the water would be off 8am-3pm. That was it for us. No ingress or egress to the house, and now no water. We reached out to the host and he agreed upon a one night refund and we found last minute $$$$ accommodations for the final two nights of our stay. It’s been now 6 weeks and no refund has been issued and the host is unresponsive. I’m sad about the stay. We spent a great deal of money for this house and the three days we were there were stressful. Damp house, doors that don’t close all of the way so we had flies constantly, and then unable to get to/from the house anytime we wanted. Disappointing.
