For the beach view, you have to walk up a golf course. The kitchen was great....had nearly everything you can expect. Living Room AC was off an on but we weren't in the house too long with so much to see and do. All else was great. The bedroom AC was a relief.
We had a great stay in Secluded Sands with our immediate and extended family. The hosts/manager responded promptly to questions. The A/C worked well and the kitchen was well stocked.
We spent just over a week at Secluded Sands. There were two families, totaling 10 people and the home was perfect. Quiet neighborhood with walkable access to a secluded beach. Location provided easy access for day trips even to Honolulu.We communicated several times with the local property manager. The only issue not resolved during our stay was access to TV streaming services, but we didnât miss those all that much.Would highly recommend for larger groups o that need some space to spread out!
Pros: -Quiet location-Safe location-Amazing views-Spacious for a big Ohana-Sunsets/sunrises are breathtaking -Close to grocery stores/fruit stands/beaches-clean and comfortable Cons:-Entry gate would work sometimes-Booked this property because we thought the beach was right outside the house but it was down the street so if youâre thinking itâs a beachfront, itâs not. -trash was full before we got there from previous renters (a fee if you do not take it out on Tuesdays/Fridays)-if youâre looking to have a get together (esp being from Hawaii born and raised, we come with a big Ohana) it will not be approved due to a clause they said they have which means the amount of people you can have in and out the house is 14 (basically the max of people that is accounted for while renting there) we wanted to have a dinner for my mom and it was not accommodated so we had to have a plan B. I found this very disappointing as it was not a âpartyâ. For the price that we paid, to be told we basically canât have visitors but it states âas long as we let the host know and they donât stay past 12am it was ok was really upsetting.
This house was wonderful for our large family. We had 9 adults and 2 babies. There was a pack and play,a stroller and a wagon, which helped enormously. The house was very clean, very comfortable beds,and the AC was cold. The large dining table was a great bonus. The walk to the beach was a little further than we thought,but not terrible. Neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. I highly recommend this house.The ad stated 2 washers and dryers but one was out of service, but it really didn't impact us at all. Host was very communicative and check in was a breeze. Also, really appreciated the fully fenced and gated yard.
We had a wonderful time staying in this home on the North Shore and will definitely come again! Home was large enough for our big family and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Sunrise views from the home are unbeatable.
The property had many accessories and made for a comfortable stay for the family. Barring some appliances that were not working, it was enjoyable. On site support staff came to try to remedy the situation. If your family will stay at the house, it will be a wonderful vacation spot. Subscription services are included on the tv. My family wanted to fish so it was a little aways from the beach; needed to walk carrying our fishing gear. Wish beach was closer. Couldn't cross the golf course which is in front of the house. All in all a fun weekend getaway.
This house was perfect for our group of 14, 8 adults and 6 children ages 12 and under. Close to food trucks, grocery stores, the Polynesian center, and shops. Easy access to other parts of the island. We did a day of beach hopping, visited 3 or 4 beaches in one day. The private beach close to the house, had a seal on the beach, our grandchildren thought that was awesome. be careful of the jellyfish, we had 3 littles get stung the first day.
Our grandkids were able to run around outside with the fully fenced yard with no worries.
We only had to communicate with the host once, and they responded quickly.
Make sure you wake up early to watch the beautiful sunrise. Perfect view sitting on the deck.

We booked this house because it was supposed to be on the beach. It was not it was on a golf course with a substantial walk to the beach. The house had 3 air conditioning units which required buckets to drain. They were not connected so we came home to over flowing buckets of water. All garbage pails were completely full when we arrived. We could not open car gate when we arrived so I called the house manager and never received a call back. For the price charged I would not recommend.
Wonderful house away from the traffic, but still a short drive to everything on the North Shore. There were 14 of us, so we used every part of the house. Plenty of room for us. Nice walk to food trucks and short drive to Foodland. Definitely would stay again. Best Wishes to the owners and there little one!
We brought our 3 adult children with their spouses and children for a total party of 13. The accommodations were perfect and the location couldn't have been better. There was plenty of room and the house was perfect for our family gathering. We went on walks at night in this secluded neighborhood at to the nearby beach. The listing is 100% accurate and we will be coming back again!
We were locked of our unit upon arrival and our multiple attempts to contact our âcaretakerâ were ignored. We were left on our own for two hours with Zabrina trying to help us from California. The care we did not receive negated the beauty of our surroundings. We still have not received any correspondence from you other an automatic email stating we would be fined if we didnât take the
garbage out today ( two days after our rental ended and we checked out). We would appreciate acknowledgement of our poor treatment. We left the unit spotless but we were put in an unsafe situation with literally no other options for accommodations other than sleeping in our car. The hotels and rental units on the north shore were all booked. We would be happy to let you know how we finally gained entrance if you want to discuss this with us. Any contact with you at Hostably/VRBO would be appreciated. We have rented through VRBO for many years and have never been treated like this and have never left a negative review.
We were a family of 12 and this place was amazing. There are always a few things that didnât work like a few of the fans and ac units but we found with the windows open we didnât really need them.
It was exactly as advertised and couldnât have asked for anything more. Definitely would recommend and stay here again.
