Amazing place to bring our family
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.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.

Awesome vacation
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. Rooms on the smaller size Rooms

Not what we expected
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!

Perfect Place in Paradise
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!

Poor communication with “caretaker”
We were locked of our unit upon arrival and our multiple attempts to contact our “caretaker” 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 didn’t 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.

Outstanding Rental
We were a family of 12 and this place was amazing. There are always a few things that didn’t work like a few of the fans and ac units but we found with the windows open we didn’t really need them. It was exactly as advertised and couldn’t have asked for anything more. Definitely would recommend and stay here again.

Our group of 6 adults and 6 small children had the most amazing week here! We loved how easily we could access other parts of the island from this location. The house was set up perfectly for our group. Being so close to the food trucks was amazing. The communication with the host was excellent. This was our first time to Hawaii for many in our group, and the accommodations were exactly what we needed. We will be back!

Nicely kept house on Oahu’s north shore. We had plenty of room for all 12 guests, with room to spare. We did wish the beach was a little closer, but it wasn’t an issue to walk for most of our group. A view of the golf course with beautiful sunsets was still a perfect sight for us.

The house was marvelous with all its amenities and closeness to the beach. The host was attentive, courteous and very responsive. Some minor maintenance is needed from towel racks missing or loose to window curtain hooks being loose. A minor inconvenience with the downstairs plumbing however the host was able to rectify the maintenance needed and in the same day. The family would definitely recommend this place to others for vacation.

Great little 💎 in a quiet neighborhood
Our family of 13 stayed ar Secluded Sands for a week, loved every minute of it. We were in Hawaii to celebrate my parents 50th anniversary. The house was great, enough space for all of us. More than enough gear to go to the beach that was basically a private one for all of the kids. We cooked almost everyday minus 1 or 2. We had everything we needed. The location was great in Kahuku, the drive to places was great. Not too long in the car to get to the many adventures near there - Kualoa Ranch, Shark's Cove, Gunstock Ranch to name a few. If we go back to Oahu, we will definitely stay here again! 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Property was very clean and well-equipped. More than enough room for our extended family (8 people, including two kids).

Fabulous House in a Fabulous Location
We (10 extended family members) stayed here the last week of March. Perfect layout: upstairs there are three bedrooms (K, Q, bunks). Downstairs there are two bedrooms (Q, 3 twins) plus the couch. The kitchen and living room were bigger than expected from the pictures. The table easily fit ten. There was plenty of space on the balcony and the kids played in the large yard. The house is very well equipped, more so than most rentals. We had everything we needed in the kitchen including containers for leftovers, food wrap, food basics and many appliances. There are two washers and dryers which are modern and worked well. The house has a ton of outdoor equipment. Among other things, there are wagons, lots of boogie boards, two paddle boards, chairs, snorkel gear, sand toys and a lot of beach towels. Everything was extremely clean and in good repair. Between the AC and opening windows, we had no issues with the heat. The location is great. The house is in a very quiet residential neighborhood. All we heard was the ocean and the birds. It felt very safe. It took about an hour from the airport (in the evening - no traffic). It’s about a 6 minute drive to the closest grocery store or a ten minute walk to a large convenience store. The food truck/shops (great place to eat!) are about a 15 minute walk. The Polynesian Cultural Center is a ten minute drive. The local beach (always empty) was about a five minute walk down the street, then a couple of minutes through the treed path. While we were there we found the water too rough to go in but enjoyed walking, the crabs, watching the sun rise and even saw sea turtles. We also walked to the campground beach (15 minutes) which was better for swimming and boogie boarding. We swam at Kawela Bay (10 min drive, pretty, no waves) and Kahana Bay (about 20 min drive) which was our favourite boogie boarding spot as it is shallow a long way out. There were lots of beach options on the north shore but parking was challenging. Snorkelling was great at Shark’s Cove (watch for sharp rocks - 20 min from the house but traffic varied a lot along the north shore). We walked to the local church (very welcoming, 5 minutes) and Climbworks zip lines (12 min - highly recommend!). We also did the Nutridge Luau (fabulous) which was about an hour and twenty min drive. We had a fabulous week and would definitely stay here again. Bria was very quick to respond to all questions.

Excellent Amenities - Would Return In a Heartbeat
The house is great and the location was wonderful. I would highly recommend this property. This was my first VRBO experience and I would absolutely do this again. The communication from the property manager was direct and on point. For those looking for constructive criticism - the washer/dryer were a little challenge to figure out as it relates to how to dispense the laundry detergent. A google search helped but still had fun figuring that out. Oh, and one of the beach chairs had an arm broken. Big whoop. Seriously – these were the only challenges we experienced with this entire magnificent property. For those visiting next – have a blast and we highly recommend a late night beach hike. The crabs scattering along the water’s edge was an absolute highlight of our trip.
