Stunning Views of the Ocean, Surfers and Turtles
Our family had an incredibly memorable stay at this North Shore home. The view from the backyard porch was the star of the show. The day we first arrived we could see a family of turtles swimming in the ocean, little did we know that seeing 5-10 turtles a day would become a common occurrence. We had three small children in our party and they loved seeing all the animals from manta rays in the water to cute green geckos speckled in the yard. Throughout our stay we also saw many talented surfers enjoying the waves; it was very cool to see.
As for the inside, the layout of the home was very intuitive and flowed well for a large party. An unexpected highlight was the king-sized daybed in the living room. It quickly became a family favorite where we would chat, relax, and even enjoy movies. The kitchen was well stocked with kitchen supplies and the double fridge was a great touch. I appreciated how clean the home was and it was easy to keep clean with all the in-home cleaning supplies.
As a family, we went down the ocean daily. We all loved having direct access the the sand and we were sure to take full advantage of it! With that said, this is the only category I gave four stars due to safety. The beach access is convenient but it’s not easy to utilize. The stairs are steep and we had to use ropes to climb up and down. For the first couple of days, this was hardly an issue but overnight one high tide managed to sweep away a large portion of the sand leading to the ocean and our slight slope down the beach turned into a steep climb. All this to say, you would want to be able-bodied and relatively strong to take advantage of this beach access.
A couple of honorable mentions that I didn’t state earlier would be the beautiful green lawn, the perfectly placed hot tub for sunset views, and the amazing outdoor shower! Overall this home has it all! Outstanding location, set between shopping, nature, and the ocean with all the creature

Laniakea North Shore Beachfront home
The house was beautiful and clean. Stocked with everything we might have needed during our stay(soaps, cooking utensils, beach towels, etc)
The beach access from the house could be a little challenging at times due to erosion from waves, but you can walk 2 houses down and use the public access.
Beach was beautiful, lots of sea turtles.
Easy drive to food trucks/ restaurants.
Hawaii Beach homes was easy to work with, great directions and customer service. The Hospitality App that they use was very informative and had lots of recommendations for the area(activities, restaurants, bike rentals plus much more)

Magical Beach Vacation
We had the most magical time at this Hawaii beach home. The space was clean, beautiful decorated and fully stocked with everything we needed. We had plenty of space in the home and private beach access. Not sure it gets much better than that! There’s an outdoor shower with warm water to clean off every time your back from the beach. The kids loved playing ping-pong and foosball out in the Playhouse. It was really convenient to have two washers and two dryers as well as two refrigerators and freezers. The host was always very kind and prompt to respond. I definitely give this stay a five out of five and would happily go back again. Thanks for everything!

Great family vacation house
Love the location and all the accommodations of the house. Lots of space and love the two refrigerators for food storage. The garage was equipped with cool games for teenaged kids that was fantastic. Would definitely come back.

A Little Piece of Paradise!
I rented the Hawaiian beach house for my family as my birthday celebration. We all looked forward to our trip and hoped that the online pictures truly reflected what we had rented. We were not disappointed;the house was stunning! We totally took advantage of being steps from the beach and having a hot tub readily available. I won't restate everything mentioned in the rental description, but it is all there - the sea turtles, the sunset views, the beautiful beach, the house amenities. We also took advantage of all the places/activities close to us (waterfall, luau, food trucks/restaurants, hiking trails, etc.) as well as driving towards the Honolulu area to view other sites. The 30 mile trek to Costco, Sam's Club, or Walmart is worth it to stock up for your stay. The house was clean and well-equipped. You can even enjoy the game room while doing laundry in the TWO washers and dryers! The decor and attention to detail added to our enjoyment. Our visit will be a lifetime memory for my entire family. Given the opportunity, we would not hesitate to stay here again!!

Perfect family Vacation home
We traveled with 10 people for a family vacation in this house was absolutely perfect. They have thought of everything for a large party, the house is gorgeous, the yard is amazing and it is just steps from the beach. We will definitely stay here again.

Second Stay
This was our second time here at this lovely property two years in a row. Very clean and everything as promised was there. They had put a new deck in and happy to see they put steps in from the sliding glass doors. We brought our own portable ramp to get the wheelchair in and out of the house easily from the back deck Sand came right up to the back stairs so it was easy to get to the beach . Turtles up and down the beach from the property. You can sit on the back deck and enjoy the ocean views and whoever is on the beach cannot see up on the deck, which is great. Game room was awesome. They have a ping-pong table and a large TV to watch movies. We had a family of nine adults and We all fit. Can’t wait for our next visit

Best Family Vacation Ever
Our extended family had a wonderful time at the Laniakea Beachfront Home. The house had plenty of room for all of us (7 adults and one baby.) The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. The beds were comfy and the view was spectacular.We spent most of our time on the spacious deck. Please be aware that due to beach erosion there is no beach directly in front of this home. A very steep drop-off down to water level. We were a bit surprised by that because the photos show a wide beach. The floors of the home was very sandy upon our arrival, but a quick sweep took care of that.

Best vacation rental
Best location, house was stocked well with dishes, pots and pans, silverware spices etc. very clean open view to the beach where we saw turtles every day to walk down the beach was wonderful close to town. Loved the game room with ping pong. If you like board games, you should bring them because we didn’t see any only one deck of-cards and some puzzles.

Amazing location on North Shore
We spent 8 days at this beautiful property in April. The house was beautifully decorated, clean and organized. Everything was labelled and directions were clear. There were only 6 of us staying in the house but there was easily room for three families. The kitchen was well-stocked and we appreciated having spices, oil, vinegar, etc to use. The location on the beach couldn't be beat! We sat on the deck every day and watched the surfers. We saw many turtles and humpback whales as well. I think the best spot for swimming on the entire beach was directly in front of our place. Some days the surf was too strong for swimming but when it was calmer, it was a nice sandy entry. To the right and left of the house, it was much rockier. Considering its beachfront location, the property was very private. While sitting on the deck, you could see the ocean but not the beach. My teenage boys loved the pingpong table and hot tub. Traffic in the area was bad at certain times of day so it was nice to be situated in such an ideal location, a couple of miles from both Haleiwa and Pupukea. Hawaii Beach Homes left excellent directions to the property and were quick to send someone over to replace the hammock when we reported that it was cracked. If you want a relaxing vacation in a beautiful home, this would be an excellent choice. We hope to return in the future.

Beautiful and memorable
This home felt like a home...not a rental. Everything was amazing...the supply of everything in the kitchen, the cleanliness, the organization, the layout, the large deck with an abundance of places to sit, the detached room with a extra space and game tables...EVERYTHING! We loved the location...right in the middle of Haleiwa for awesome spots to eat and the other direction for yummy food trucks, food farms, golf at Turtle Bay, and surfing competitions with the massive waves. We loved this home and hope to be back again.

Dream Getaway
This home was absolutely perfect for our family stay. We had everything we needed, and with a trip to Costco, we barely had to leave - and with small children, that was exactly our intention. The house was very thoughtfully and tastefully renovated and well stocked to feel at home. The beach was beautiful and a fun spot to watch whales, turtles and surfers. With a quick drive into the cute local town, you really had no other need to venture far! We loved it.

Beautiful place!
We had a wonderful time at this awesome rental house. The pictures depicted it very accurately. If anything, it was better than the pictures. Plenty of room, clean, great decorating and right on the beach with easy access. The hot tub was a bonus, as was the game room where the double set of washer and dryers were located. Anything we needed was there. Thank you so much!!

Fantastic place, has extra features
Our family of ten stayed in this excellent house. The features are described in the listing, and there are more. There are two refrigerators, a rice cooker, an electric griddle. There is a game room with foosball and ping pong. One of the bathrooms has a door to outside so people can use the toilet and sink without tracking through the house. There is parking space for three cars.
The total count of accomodations is: four bedrooms, nine beds, three enclosed showers and one open shower (outdoors), four toilets+sinks, two washing machines, two dryers.
The location is great, about five minutes drive to Hale'iwa. Sometimes the return from Hale'iwa is ten or 15 minutes due to beach traffic.

Our stay at Laniakea was amazing! Beautiful immaculate home, every amenity, comfortable, great location! We fit 3 large vehicles in the secure driveway, 10 slept comfortably, cooked meals and baked with all equipment available. Great gameroom for the kids with pingpog and other games. Loved that eveything was labeled. Great location, spent most time on the north shore. Never missed the crowds of Wakiki. Grocery in Haleiwa better than Foodland. Best part - relaxing time with family. My daughter loved swimming with turtles daily. My son and d-i-l watched a turtle lay eggs one evening! We would love to go back and definately rent this house!

Laniakea Beach Home
This home is an excellent location on the North Shore. With close proximity to Turtle Beach and world class surf, you cannot beat it. Plus the house is great size and can accommodate large families or gatherings. The new owners have done a nice job upgrading the finishes and making it feel like a high end beach home. Well worth the stay.

Sibling Trip
My three siblings and their spouses, my husband and myself stayed for 10 fabulous days! The north shore location on the beach was perfect for turtle watching and surfer watching. We even saw whales!
The house was perfect for our group. The deck had chairs, loungers, rockers, and a hot tub. The cleanliness and decor it were impressive.
We hope to come here to stay again!!!

A Trip We’ll Never Forget
The home is on the beach, with an amazing outdoor space, we spent time on the deck or yard space everyday. Stunning views all directions & centrally located on the North Shore. Easy access to groceries, food trucks, other beaches, etc. Home was clean & organized, kitchen has every appliance & dish you could think of. It’s a bit of a drive to some attractions like Pearl Harbor but the drive was easy & we preferred to stay away from the larger touristy areas.

Awesome Beach Retreat
This place simply put is amazing! The house is laid out well & accommodated several travelers: 6 slept well, but could easily sleep (2) more. It is located on the beach and we saw sea turtles every day! The house is beautifully decorated on the inside with marble countertops and beautiful furnishings. We very much enjoyed our stay! The house was immaculate and inviting after coming home each day! We spent one or two days at the house and relaxed and we couldn’t stop being on the deck! It could use a closet in the southwest bedroom, but other than that, no issues! Nice, nice place!

Best beachfront property for surfers
We rented the Laniakea Beach House for one month. My kids did remote school from the house, and the WiFi was excellent. The house itself is nice and although it could use some upgrades, everything feels comfortable. It isn't huge, but it feels spacious with a nice sized living room and a big deck overlooking the ocean. The rooms are good sized with lots of bed space. The garage has been converted into a kids play room with a ping pong table and sofas. The kitchen has two big fridges and everything you need to cook. There is also a new gas bbq on the deck, which is perfect for grilling at sunset. We had a few simple maintenance issues and management responded immediately.
By far, the best part of this house is its location. It sits right in front of Laniakea Beach and the paddle out to surf is directly in front of the house. We surfed literally every day and had consistent 3-5 foot waves, with only a few days smaller and a few big days of surf. In addition, when the waves aren't too big, the snorkeling in front of the house is excellent. The local town of Haleiwa is 5 minutes away. It is a quaint beach town with all the amenities you need. Waimea Bay and Waimea Valley are only minutes away in the other direction and a must visit. Pupukea and Pipeline are 5-10 minutes away. Really this place is ideally situated.
I would definitely recommend it to anyone and everyone looking for a North Shore getaway.

Laniakea beach house
Fantastic home in a perfect location. This is our second time staying in this house and we love it. The location is perfect. Wake up in the morning and walk right out back to Lani's or Himalayas surf break. It's a short walk up or down the beach to some other less crowded breaks. For non-surfers the beach right out back is sandy and beautiful. There are regular turtle sightings which the wife and kids enjoyed. The hot tub is a nice feature and the garage with ping pong is great for the teenagers to hang out. House is well stocked. Owners are very responsive. I wish we could have stayed longer and hope to be back which I guess will depend on who buys it since it is listed for sale. Thanks for the much needed escape from reality.

Great Stay!
Had a wonderful time with my family. There was 4 large bedrooms that fit a total of 6 adults and 3 children. Another whole family could have stayed with us! The playroom was an extra bonus. Kids played Skee-ball and pool during the wind down hours. Beautiful location right on the beach. Will definitely recommend this property to friends and would love to stay here again.

Fabulous location - fabulous for the whole family. Spacious indoor and out. Some minor maintenance would make this a perfect holiday experience.
Kitchen tap broken, ice maker in fridge didn't work, and a few other minor details that were just a little frustrating - but overall a wonderful property.

Great location and fantastic view!
This location on north shore, Oahu, is the best! Not to many people, most people stay in the turtle bay 200-300 meters away. Perfect beach, stunning view! The house is nice, but you pay most for the beachfront view. One negative thing is no aircondition - only fan! The nearby village, Haleiwa, is really nice with good restaurants and beach shops. Beware of the massive traffic along the route 83! Drive out early or late!

Hawaiian Dream
This home has the BEST location on Laniakea Beach! The back deck overlooks the gorgeous ocean with white sand, swimming, surfing, snorkeling and Sea Turtles all day long. The sunsets off this deck were breathtaking and the back deck and yard area really become the living space for the perfect relaxing Hawaiian vacation. The home was nicely laid out for our group of 10 with plenty of beds and linens. We didn’t even use the additional detached apartment off the front. Location to the beautiful North shore sights is so convenient. Waimea Bay, Haleiwa Town ( which we loved) were a couple of favorites. The house everything we needed as far as linens, towels and the kitchen was well equipped. Some parts of the home are a little dated, like the bathrooms, however with people in and out of the surf all day it was fine. They were very responsive to some quick fixes we needed. The home doesn’t have AC and it was very warm our entire stay particularly in the ocean front rooms.

Spacious beach home with perfect location
Lovely beach home with lots of space to accommodate our group of friends. The large deck was the perfect place for everyone to hang out & watch the beautiful sunsets. Hot tub was an added bonus.
Only thing was the floors & curtain areas were a bit dusty/dirty when we arrived. Not a huge deal since we spent most of our stay out on the beach.

Spacious home on a lovely beach
Spacious and comfortable house, the space worked well for a family reunion. We could watch surfers all day from the patio. It was a quick 8-minute drive into Haleiwa for shopping and restaurants. The property was clean and well-maintained. A service issue with hot water in one bathroom was responded to in a timely manner by the management maintenance staff.

Great Family Vacation
Everyone had a great time. We really enjoyed the location, 2 refrigerators (yea), the deck with all the outdoor furniture. Two of the wash machines worked and both dryers - much needed with so many (14) people. The hot tub is mis-wired, thankfully we had several electrical people with us to figure out how to make it work. All in all, a great vacation rental - also loved the hosing off area! The kitchen is well stocked with all kinds of cooking dishes and appliances, too.

Pleasantly Surprised!!
We are a local family that wanted a get away, particularly to renew our wedding vows on our 40th anniversary. Of course when you book a reservation such as this, you only have pictures to go by so we were skeptical. To our pleasant surprise the home was just what we were looking for; it was clean, spacious and was everything we could have asked for our family. Everyone was comfortable and is already asking when we can go back. You will definitely see us again, hopefully soon!!

Family Stay at Lani’s — the best!
My family of 4 and my sister’s family of 4 all had an amazing stay here at the house. The beach front setup is second to none! Pretty much lived on the lanai and yard when not in the water enjoying the surf and turtles! Turtles Galaore!!! THE spot for turtles!! In fact the traffic stacks up at Lani’s just to check out the turtles. The house could use electrical work to the outlets. There were several around the house in key locations that did not work...other than that we had no other issues and loved our stay! You will not want to leave. :) Tip: load up on your beach rentals (surfboards, SUPs, diving gear, etc) in Haleiwa. Last thing, bring your bluetooth sound system... we did and kept the vibe flowing on the lanai the entire time. ENJOY

A little slice of Paradise
We had a four night stay here with our extended families 13 people in total (3 couldn’t make it) and we were very comfortable, 16 people may have pushed it?
Otherwise the house and grounds were fantastic and we were mainly outside anyway. Turtles would swim up the beach every day and we had a beach as our backyard. We wished our stay was for another two nights. The staff were in contact with us to make sure we were comfortable and all is going well.

Great house, amazing views!
Wonderful house with gorgeous views. Description and pictures exceeded expectations. Plenty of space for our group of 10 (including kids: 1.5, 2.5, 3 and 8). Loved how everything was gated and private so that kids could run free and looks for lizards and geckos. Location is great and even though it's right off a busy road you could rarely hear cars. We travel often to Oahu and have stayed in many vacation rentals, you literally can't get any closer to the beach then this house. That being said, there wasn't really a beach while we were there, as all the sand had washed out and the stairs ended on rock/reef. It is something that only happens a couple times of year but does happen in August and people with small kids, older folks or people who are not comfortable with the ocean should be aware. However, this is NOT something that should be counted against this house! The island and ocean will do as they please. We are water folks and just carried the little ones off to the left or right to swim and lounge. On calm days we snorkeled out front and saw several turtles, fish and even an eel. Having two washers and dryers was key and the cleaning people did a great job and are very friendly (we ran into them on the way out). There is some very normal wear and tear on things, especially those touching the outside (screens, ease of opening windows, etc) but that is to be expected when you are this close to the ocean and not the least bit bothersome. It does get hot inside the afternoon because there is no AC but it wasn't a surprise since it states that in the description and opening up the doors and windows made it comfortable. Gotta love those trade winds! After bbqing every night we would stargaze. We had such a wonderful stay here and would highly recommend it.

Fabulous beach home for family gathering
This is a fantastic house right on an amazing beach and it is convenient to get in to Haleiwa and go further up the North Shore to Pupukea. There are many areas for families to gather and spend time together both indoors and out. This house is particularly great for families with young children because of the enclosed yard and pocket doors in the home to keep toddlers contained and out of trouble. The home overall is nice but not so nice that you are worried about your kids ruining it. My only criticisms of this property: 1. the kitchen is a little under stocked for the number of people the home accommodates and some of the utensils are not in good shape. 2. The game room needs a makeover. It has only a warped pool table with holes in the pockets (not usable). We didn’t have anyone sleep out there but I imagine it would be hard to do so without any window coverings over the entire wall of windows.

Amazing!!!
Wow! This house was very spacious, clean, and well-equipped. The kitchen had everything you could imagine--dishwasher, coffeepot, blender, etc. Had a supple of beachtowels at the patio deck door for our use, sand toys and kids boogie boards on back deck, and great grill. The view/beach was fantastic. We were able to walk down the beach to view the sea turtles on the beach. It was the perfect Hawaii vacation home!!

Best weekend in a long time
My family spent the past weekend at Laniakea and this property was amazing. Our daughter summed up the weekend as "best weekend in a long time" as she enjoyed the beach, the sand, the hot tub and the property overall.
I think the rest of my family would agree with her as we all enjoyed ourselves. We are already looking forward to the next time we can stay at Laniakea!

perfect location
The location of the house is perfect,right aside the beach. when taking rest in the backyard, you can easily see turtles resting and swimming around. and you can jump into sea anytime you want.
however the property's general condition is far below expectation. there is no air-conditioner in the house, and there is even no washing machine there. unbelieveable.

Manager Response: The house has two washing machines and two dryers, they are located behind the door that has a sign that reads "Washer and Dryer". As advertised there is no a/c, the sea breeze and trade winds and multiple fans keep everything at a beautiful temperature.
Paradise!
Perfect in every way! 3rd time staying here!

A Dream Come True!!!!
The pictures just don't capture how truly amazing this home is! The home, the location are absolutely breathtaking!! Our family of 14 stayed here recently for our son's wedding and it was perfect. I really don't think you can find a better vacation rental in Haleiwa...

Hawaiian dream
Wonderful time great location. I liked how the towels were by the door and 2 refrigerators great idea. We all agreed that we would return. The only negative would be that we didn't get into the house till after five ( house was still being cleaned)and there was no Wi-Fi . Awesome vacation.

Manager Response: Were glad you had a great vacation. Wished you would have called re Wi-Fi it is there and the password is in the move in instructions. You must have over looked it. Sometimes it takes a little longer to get the house clean after the tenants leave sorry about that we usually allow you to use part of the house that is ready to go if we need a little more time. Come join us again hope the surf was good for you.
special house to stay
wonderful view and nice to surf

Olsen Family Reunion
We loved the location and the house. We enjoyed being able to go to sleep with the sound of the surf. The deck is in need of repair and we couldn't get the TV in the main room to work. Everything else was in good condition.

Big Family Vacation
We were 17 family members, including 2 toddlers, all together for a family vacation. The beachfront home was perfect. Every morning we enjoyed coffee on the deck as we watched the surfers out on the treacherous waves. A photographer took family photos with the ocean in the background in the early evening before sunset. The sunsets were phenomenal. The kids were entertained at breakfast with Disney, swim with the dolfins, surf lessons, snorkeling, and beach time. We couldn't have rented a more perfect home. The kitchen was a little small, but the adults rotated chef duties for breakfast and dinners. For a home that size I would recommend a larger coffee pot and more face cloths. We had a great time. Thank you

Best Vacation Ever!
This home is the perfect location for any size family. Every detail was thought of prior to our arrival. This rental was stress free from beginning to end. We received communication for easy access, and if we had any issues we knew exactly how to contact (we had zero issues). The decor was beautiful to match the view. I can't say enough great things about this home and the staff that made this vacation perfect.

Laniakea review - Sept 2016
We had a great time at a family (Ohana) gathering. The closeup turtle experience was a highlight for young and old alike. We used the brand new barbecue almost every night and stayed on the deck to watch the beautiful sunsets.
Side trips to Halaewa, Kapolani, Koko crater,Diamond head,Leanords (for Malasadas) and other sights filled our days.
All told we enjoyed the stay very much.
Note that the beach was much eroded in September, in part due to tropical storm Lester.
The new gate and stairway to the beach was nice, and when the deck and fence repairs are completed I will be able to upgrade my recommendation from 4 stars to 5 stars.

What happened to the Beach in the Picture and video?
Everything was amazing other than we specifically picked this location for the Beach that shows in all the pictures and video but when we got there in was nothing at all even close to that. We figured the beach and weather changes things but we also figured someone would at least warn us it IS NOTHING like the photos and videos any longer before we spend $10,000.

Osgood Review
House was exactly as it was described on the website. On weekends there was a lot of vehicle traffic on the road but was much better during the week. Water was calm for most of the week which enabled us to see many Green turtles from the property back yard every afternoon. All of the beach sand directly behind the property has washed away but very good beaches are close walking distance. Sunsets were spectacular. Rain was on/off on most days but this did not get in the way of activities. Sharks Cove, Waimea beach and Waimea Falls are all very close and really great to visit.

Family Vacation
This is a very nice location. Peaceful and relaxing. There were 8 of us in our party. My mother was able to enjoy the view from the sofa which made it very nice for her.

Beautiful home
Pictures don't do this home & views justice. In addition to a well thought out rental, the hosts are attentive, hands off, and even provide an app with check in/our procedures, things to do, etc. Best rental experience I have ever had hands down.

Fantastic House!
What a great house. We had 4 families (14 people). Plenty of space. The kitchen was well appointed with everything you need. The outdoor space was great with a BBQ. The surf out the front was rough but could still take a dip to cool off. Short drive to many attractions on the North Shore. Would recommend this property for large groups.

Immediate Relaxation
As soon as we walked in the door and saw the view we knew we'd picked the right place. Plenty of room to move around and not feel confined. The location was great because we could get everywhere easily.

Awesome vacation
We rented Laneakea Beach House as we have done many times over the years, and once again it was awesome. Everyone from Hawaii Beach Homes always goes above and beyond on helping us whenever something arises. Thank you. Would highly recommend their site and this home.

Great House but Needs More Cleaning
The house was on a great location with a convenient access to the beach.
Few things that actually disappointed me; starting with the old-misleading instructions on how to access the rental. It was referring to a green door which a couldn't find especially at 11 pm when I first arrived to my house. I found out that the house used to be green but it was repainted brown! And the instructions were outdated.
Towels are mostly clean but some had few stains and the garbage wasn't empty!

Manager Response: Your right the house was just painted thank you for pointing that out. The garbage only goes out once a week so sometimes its pretty full when people arrive.Towels are always an issue if people take the white towels to the beach.
Glad you had a good time. Come back again.
A4 Laniakea North Shore Home
We had a great time. The location of the home and the size was exactly what we were looking for. There were plenty of attractions up North to keep us busy and the drive to Honolulu was not too bad.

Awesome Vacation!
What a perfect house and perfect location! Three families enjoyed a vacation of a lifetime! Gorgeous views from the deck. We enjoyed many evening BBQ's and sunsets as well as swimming right out front with the turtles every day. Perfect spot, as it's not crowded at all in front. We had a couple days of amazing surf out front, extra bonus for August. But always swimmable for the kids. Super close to the town Haleiwa and close to beautiful Waimea Falls and Waimea Bay. The kitchen and house were fully equipped. Hawaiian Beach Homes are wonderful and pleasant to work with, huge bonus! Can't say enough about what a special place this is! Hope to come back!

Family Memories
Our 9 days at this property was like family paradise on earth time. The location was so fantastic that it was hard to get everyone to leave to do the "tourist" things Oahu is noted for. The Polynesian Cultural Center and Dole Plantation were very close being on the North Shore as was Matsumoto Shaved Ice which we stopped at several times. Also the fish trucks! The beach was the best I'd ever been to. Everyone got into snorkeling and loved the sea turtles. My bedroom looked onto the ocean and I will forever cherish that gorgeous view! Beds were comfy . Kitchen and living room space was spacious and had everything we needed. We had called about a missing screen in one of the bathrooms which was the only area with some bugs and was disappointed that Hawaii Beach Homes told us a maintenance person would come that day or the next BUT they never came. However that did not change everyone's opinion that Grandma gets five stars plus for her choice of our Hawaiian vacation home! I would highly recommend it for any family especially for a group consisting of several families within the group to accommodate everyone's needs. The ping pong table was the object of some fun and serious competition all week. It was a great non beach activity. When we went to the Arizonia Memorial we had a long wait so decided to take the Missouri Battleship tour. I would highly recommend that regardless. It was so informational and all ages in our group 8 yrs old thru Grandma were so happy we had done it. We snorkeled at Devil's Cove to see the pretty fish instead of the tourist snorkeling places which was just down the road from our house and that was perfect to get the experience and not go far.. The day we checked out we went into Honolulu to eat and got a feel of the big city and for all of us to agree we were glad we were on the North Shore for our stay and not in the busy city.

Manager Response: The maintenance man did go by the day after the complaint was made, no one was at the home. He ordered the screen at the local hardware store as the correct size was not in stock, the missing screen was not a standard size. It has since been received and fixed.
Thanks,

Out of Site Vacation
We had the best vacation (all 23) my husband and I planned this vacation to include our 4 children, their spouses, 13 grandchildren (ages 8-18) The houses were just perfectly located. We were able to visit the places on our list without much driving. The highlight of the whole week was snorkeling with the turtles right out in front of the houses. If we win a million we will definitely be back!!!!

Laniakea
Laniakea was perfect. The house had everything we needed. Clean, well maintained and plenty of room for 14 of us. Location was ideal. Great spot for young children and adults. Beach was safe for swimming. Swam with the turtles every day right outside the house. Convenient to Hale'iwa and Waimea.

Paradise!!
We stayed here for 5 nights, wish it was longer!! We had 13 people stay in this home ages 15-55, it accommodated us perfectly. Hanging out on the deck watching the turtles swim by, relaxing in the jacuzzi and napping in the hammock was extremely relaxing but being able to jump into the ocean at any time was absolutely perfect. We swam with turtles, almost nonstop! We cannot wait to come back!

Best home on the North Shore
My family and I could not have asked for a better home! The kitchen had more than enough equipment to cook with. There was more than enough towls, Beds, etc... The view was more beautiful than words can explain. The pace was private and excluded... The house was a hold proof save.. The counters corners were round instead of shard for little ones.. The house was just absolutely breath taking, there's not much more to say. Best home my family and I have ever stayed at!!! We can not wait to go again!!!

Lanikai review
Awesome. Place was perfect for us and after a couple of days we all decided to just stay "home" and enjoy it.
The house was super well equipped, had everything that we needed and more. We spent many hours on the beach which was 20 feet away and on the well shaded deck when we needed a break from the sun.
The only slight negative is the beach/surf. We were immediately warned by the local lifeguard that we had to be very careful because there is a channel right in front of the property that has a strong riptide, this was OK for a house full of adults but I would be wary if I had young kids. That said we would absolutely stay there again.

Incredible home!
Our time at Laniakea on the North Shore was amazing. The house was in immaculate shape when we arrived, was spacious, and had all the bells and whistles. It had everything we needed! I highly recommend this home (except don't book it when we are planning on coming back again...haha!...so we can have it).

Wonderful vacation home
We absolutely love the house, the beach, and the very accommodating helpful staff. This is our 6th time to this home. They have thought of everything to make it a delight. The sunsets, the beach in front, watching the turtles keeps us entertained. Why would one think of going to Waikiki?

Heaven on the North Shore
From the moment we walked in the front door to the moment we closed the front door for the last time, we were so very satisfied and grateful for the beautiful experience we had at A2. Laniakea-North Shore. Then view was breathtaking, the beach tranquil and inviting and the sea turtles were gifts of nature. The house accommodated our family of 12 comfortably. The kitchen had more than enough pots, pans, plates, etc. for all of our meals. We enjoyed the deck and bar-b-que every night. We soaked in the hot tub watching the gorgeous sunsets. Our grandkids enjoyed the game room and we enjoyed having them in the game room. Our week on the North Shore was very warm, both inside and out. But the beautiful ocean met our needs to cool off during the daytime. Nights were warm; a possible addition to the home would be a few free-standing fans. On a scale of 1-10, I would rate our stay and home a 9 1/12. Thank you for an unforgettable week of Aloha. We look forward to returning to this home and having yet another spectacular vacation!

Perfect location
The location was perfect. Our backyard was the beach. We swam with sea turtles... There were food trucks, 10 mins. away with food similar to our NYC cafes. We ate most of our meals on the deck facing the ocean. Morning coffee watching the sunrise, dinner watching the sunset, and Nightcap gazing at the stars. One of the nicest vacations we've had.

The best yet
Plenty of room for everyone. Big deck. Some lawn. Right on the beach with many sea turtles just below. A seperate room/studio which my three grand daughters turned into a babe cave and loved it. I would go back in a flash.
