Book Hotels in Haleiwa, HI

"This studio was great for us and served as a comfortable base camp for exploring the north shore. If you're looking for something fancy, this may not be the place for you. I suspect most of the private rentals in the area are a bit funky, so keep that in mind. Pros: big comfy bed, nice TV, adequate kitchen, great location (very short walk to beach, Ted's bakery, Banzai Bowls, Elephant Truck (best Thai food!), Sunrise Shack); Cons: noisy road (no biggie if you close the window facing the road and turn on the AC unit fan to high for some kick ass white noise), shear curtains provide little privacy (although after visiting Polo Beach this was less of a concern ha ha)."

"This is the authentic Hawaii. Not commercial, not high rise buildings. Comfortable accommodations. Not fancy, but everything you need. Cool breezes, wrap around porch/balcony. The rental portion of the building is on 2nd floor, so do need to be aware it requires climbing a flight of stairs with your suitcase, which was not a concern for us. Our hosts - real people. Friendly, available as needed, but never intrusive. This is on a plumeria farm with some fruit trees as well. There are a few little pigs and chickens running around. It doesn't smell like animals at all, just authentic additional local color. Smoothie/coffee/acai bowl stand right in front of the property , a 1 minute walk down for daily breakfast. Literally just a walk across the highway fronting the property is Sunset Beach, where we ended each day. If you want to slow down, enjoy the North Shore and feel like you belong here for a few blissful days, this is a great place to stay! We spent a week on Maui staying in a high rise. We finished the vacation here. All six of us agreed this was the favorite. Thank you to the Fosters for sharing this place with us. Sorry we didn't get to meet you Lovey, but we are glad we did get to know your dad, and learn a little of the property history. Five enthuiastic stars from our family!"

"A family vacation made even more special with this wonderful home. The amenities were spot on. We were a little worried with the property not having central AC. Don’t let this deter you. The breeze coming down the hill was perfect for the summer nights. Communication with the owner was wonderful. Thank you for the great memories made."

"Great home base for exploring the North Shore!"

"Just off the shore, this house was a perfect spot for a great restful escape. The house is furnished thoughtfully and had everything one could want--from a fully equipped kitchen ready for actual cooking (including, kindly provided in the pantry, cooking oil, spices, coffee filters, sugar and decent knives) and luxuriously furnished bedrooms to outdoor equipment (two bikes, flippers and snorkeling gear, beach chairs, beach umbrella, water shoes, etc.) and washer and dryer (with laundry soaps). The furnishings and rooms were very comfortable (just as pictured) with ceiling fans everywhere that ensured a breeze (no AC but not needed while we were there). Everything was a in immaculate to great condition--a very well maintained property. The two-car garage and outdoor seating area were spacious. It was delightful to take breakfast just sitting outside beside the palm tree and tropical foliage and dinner upstairs on the upper deck overlooking the ocean at sunset. There are very cute and entertaining geckos about the garden and occasionally inside--one as short as an inch! On top of the great house, the location cannot be beat--a very short walk from great snorkeling at Shark's Cove (superb snorkeling n the mornings 8-8:30 am when all the sea life is having breakfast!) or a semi-private sand beach; walking distance to a Foodland grocery store; minutes away from Wimea Valley and great hikes in the overlooking hills of the Pupukea-Paumalu Forest Reserve. All in all, I have no reservations recommending this property--definitely among the best out of a dozen rental properties we have stayed in. That said, know that everything is expensive in the area and traffic congestion was astounding during the day, bumper to bumper just crawling north in the mornings and then the same south after noon."

"We had a wonderful stay, it was just a bit short. We were provided with beach equipment and a kitchen with all the utensils you need. There are windows all around, so it gets quite bright early in the morning. Definitely would recommend!"
