Our main purpose was to relax and learn to surf. At first we were not very focused on the house, because we were not expecting to spend much time on it (only to sleep). But then we arrived to this cottage and fall in love... with her and with each other again :) The place is wonderfull, you have everything you need inside and outside... and you will stay in the famous "7 mile miracle" of surf. Use your bikes and explore all the beaches near the cottage, but if you don't want to exercise than just walk 2 minutes and relax on the beautifull beach a few meters away from the house. Lovely small town Hale'iwa is just 10 minutes drive but again if you don't want go that much far, you have it all just walking distance from the house: Foodland, Starbucks and some nice small restaurants. Last but not least, Anna and Aaron were great and gave us the tips we needed when we asked for it.
We hope to visit you again soon...

This beach house was perfect for us. It was cute and clean and had everything we needed. Aaron was there when we arrived and was able to give us good suggestions on what to see since it was our first time in Oahu. We loved staying on the North Shore away from all the crowds of Waikiki. It was a very short walk down to the beach. This beach wasn't a great place for us to play in the water, since the waves were a little strong for us when we were there, but is was beautiful to look at. (If you are used to the ocean, you could probably swim here.) There is a bike/walking path at the end of the driveway that goes a few miles. We rode Aaron's bikes on the path down to Ted's Bakery a couple of times. Yum! Don't miss the chocolate hopia pie. This was our first time to use VBRO, and I was a little nervous about it, but we had such a good experience that I'll definitely try it again. If we ever get to come back to Oahu, we would stay at Aaron and Anna's beach house in a heartbeat.

We had such a wonderful time at Ke Iki Beach House. My husband,son and I had a great time staying up in the N. Shore. Aaron was such a great help with food recommendations and places to visit. The house is well stocked with everything you need to cook with and is very cozy to come back to after a very hard lay of lounging at the beach. Foodland is walking distance and the town of Haleiwa is not too far away. My family had a photo shoot at Sunset Beach and our photographer grew up a few houses down from this beach house. I can't recommend this house enough...or maybe I shouldn't. What a perfect hidden gem in the N. shore. We hope to be back soon. Thanks Aaron and Anna for your great hospitality. Mahalo.

Review submitted: December 26, 2012   Date of arrival: November 11, 2012

This accomodation is perfectly located between Waimea and Pipeline and a very short walk to the supermarket. The ideal location makes it a leasurely walk to the iconic locations on the North Shore or if you are in a rush to get to the waves an easy bike ride (bicycles provided).
My wife and I enjoyed the privacy of having our own accomodation, but the owners Aaron and Anna (who are extremely nice people) were always close by if we needed some advice.
We would definately recommend this accomodation to other couples who are after privacy in a very central location. It was very clean and had all the kitchen appliances we required. Cable TV was an unexpected bonus.
This ideal place to stay really helped to provide what was a memorable holiday in one of the nicest places on earth.

This is the perfect place to stay at the North Shore. We arrived and felt right at home after a friendly Welcome from Aaron. The cottage is beautiful: nice furniture, a very well equipped kitchen, a big barbeque on the Lanai and everything spotless. The location couldn't be better.Go for a morning walk at the perfect beach, grab the bikes for a ride to another beach if you need some change. We hardly used the car while we were there.

The property was really clean and well maintained. The beach is just a few steps away and there is a grocery store nearby.

We stayed for a week in September and had a fantastic time. Aaron and Anna made sure our stay was worry free and that we had everything we needed. The cottage is immaculate, and located a short 2-3 minute walk from the beach. We enjoyed cooking on the new gas grill and eating on the deck, bicycling to Ted's Bakery, and walking to Shark's Cove to snorkel. The North Shore offers a relaxing get-away from the hustle and bustle of Honolulu, with lots to see and do, and many, many great places to eat. The cottage has all the amenities, including satellite TV, DVD player, washer/dryer, dishwasher, etc., and a cozy loft for the master bed. We would go back tomorrow if we could. Thanks Aaron and Anna for a great time.

Review submitted: September 20, 2012   Date of arrival: September 9, 2012

Like pretty much every review has mentioned, Aaron and Anna were very hospitable and helpful. My wife and I only stayed for 3 nights, but we had a lot planned, and we received very good tips on where to shop, dine, hang out, and enjoy the North Shore to its fullest. This cottage has pretty much unbeatable location -- quiet neighborhood that's pretty much a street corner away (~5 minutes on foot) from an extensive but relatively secluded beach (in September). Even though this is a quiet neighborhood, it is still very convenient to get necessities at the local Foodland (1-minute drive). Of course, the cottage is already stocked with loads of useful items: kitchen/grill utensils (with outdoor grill), spices, books, movies, etc. We also made good use of the bikes and snorkeling gear provided for us. This location is just 40 minutes from Honolulu, so you certainly have the option to check out bustling parts of the island while being able to have a peaceful stay if you choose.

North Shore Happiness for two newlyweds!

Snorkel man (Seattle WA)
Review submitted: September 16, 2012   Date of arrival: August 26, 2012

Outstanding rental for the couple or small family looking for all the comforts of home, with north shore activities a nine iron away. Arron and Anna are great host! They really share the Aloha and north shore vibe, and give you all the right tips to make the most of what you are looking to enjoy. The little beach out back is a little more than that. It is a secluded all day retreat that you would rarely share with more than ten people. The beach is also Ideal for nightly sunset viewing. With the bicycles that are provided, you can park the car and go for miles in either direction if your endurance allows for it. I could go on and on. The fact is that what Arron and Anna advertise is all there and then some. My wife and I will be returning and we suggest that others make it a must stay location.

Aloha,

Our gracious host Aaron (pronounced air - in ) (Aussie humour) was fantastic and very helpful in explaining local attractions and surf breaks. The unit is private and our host was not in the least bit invasive available only of we needed him. The accommodation exceeded our expectations. The unit is completely self contained and quite luxurious. Great kitchen for cooking ! Beautiful location, stones throw from the water and 10 min walk from what is unarguably ( you cant argue about it is the best) the north shores best snorkelling spots. Nearby local culinary delight is the Ahi fish burger and fish curry! We only wish we had more time to stay at this wonderful abode. Nearby drive to turtle bay where we actually did see turtles and nearby drive to Haleiwa Shops home of the shaved ice and amazing shopping! Very cute shops. Sunset aptly named we saw amazing sunsets

The Perfect North Shore Getaway

KC (Minneapolis, MN)
Review submitted: June 5, 2012   Date of arrival: May 11, 2012

If you're reading this, you're looking for a spot to relax on the North Shore of Hawai'i. Book this place!!! The house is spectacular, the location is prime and the owners, so welcoming. Our experience during our stay exceeded all of our expectations. We arrived to an open, spacious and extremely clean 2 story home with vaulted ceilings, updated decore, a full and updated kitchen, spotless bathroom, cozy 2nd level bedroom, and a spacious lanai with a new gas grill. Bikes, beach chairs, snorkel gear, and a boogie board were all available for our use. The tropical palms, flowers and other island flora and fauna that adorn the property are just magnificent! The house is less than a 7 min bike ride to shark's cove (best spot to snorkel on Oahu), Sunset Beach, Waimea Bay, and several of the best surf breaks in the world. The closest beach is right behind the house, a 4 min walk. Aaron and anna are the best host and that added so much to our positive experience on the North Shore. Thanks you two. Much love and aloha.

Have stayed at 4 other locations on Sunset Beach, but would return here. Very clean, very nicely furnished and well maintained. Owners' pictures and description accurately depict the rental, amenities, and location. Owners are friendly and helpful. Potential renters do need to be aware that the unit is located upstairs and that there is a narrow staircase inside to reach the sleeping loft.

This "cottage" (actually a beautiful house) was perfect for our beach vacation! All of the amenities and extras were exactly as stated in the property descriptions.

If you're looking for a laid-back, quiet, uncrowded and perfect beach vacation, then this is the place for you to stay. Fantastic beaches, snorkeling, and great views are all over the place within just minutes of the property. Owners Aaron and Anna were extremely gracious and very helpful with local "tips" and ideas for visitors. We highly recommend this property and would rent it again without hesitation.

This cottage was amazing. I was there for a week and it was hands down one of the most comfortable and welcoming places I have yet to stay. There is nothing more beautiful than the beaches that are a very short walk from the cottage and the owner's provide everything you need to enjoy your day on the beach. The best is the awesome bath tub after a long day on the beach followed by a very quiet nights sleep. This cottage offers everything anyone would need for a get away :)

This cottage get-away centered between Sharks's Cove and Pipeline beaches was the perfect place to relax and enjoy the North Shore. The home has everything we needed to enjoy the area and feel like local residents. The location is awesome. With bike and walking trails and the beach just a minute away, we enjoyed snorkling and biking several times. The cottage has beautiful landscaping and I especially enjoyed the lush feeling nestled around the quiet, comfortable home.

We had a wonderful time at Ke Iki Beach Hale! The place is beautifully maintained, the only little thing we would change is the pillows on the bed, (they were a little worn out) but thats an easy fix. It was absolutely all we wanted of and more.

We loved the location, the North Shore has lots of development/construction going on - we want to "Keep the COUNTRY COUNTRY" as the locals say. The North shore is wonderful because its simple, unfortunately many greedy people are trying to develop it and its a shame! Support this and other local small businesses so that we can all enjoy the serenity of the North Shore for years to come.

Review submitted: September 22, 2010   Date of arrival: September 1, 2010

We stayed at the house for 2 full weeks and it was simply “brilliant”. I struggle to find the right words to describe our experience. We always have self catering holidays but this property was by far the best we have ever rented. Absolutely everything was provided. Beach towels, beach chairs, cool boxes, snorkelling gear, bikes, some toiletries, soap powder and so much more. There is a policy in place where if you use something up you replace it for the next people, what a brilliant idea! The rolling library works well, plenty of DVDs available all in all a great experience! However the best bits about renting this property are the owners! Aaron and Anna would easily win a “top Host” award! Nothing appears to be too much for them, you ask, they deliver it is as simple as that. We read a lot of the comments before renting the property and I can honestly say none of them exaggerate the truly warm welcome you get from Aaron and Anna (and Java) of course. Aaron convinced us you should visit Hawaii at least twice and believe me we will be back one day! Mahalo to Aaron and Anna for the warm welcome and for giving Bill his daily “ask Aaron” half hour. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you would ever like to experience some cold, wet, Yorkshire weather. Big hugs from us both.

Words can't express how happy we were with our stay at Aaron and Anna's place on Sunset Beach! The open layout of the home made it inviting to stay in for dinners, cooking on the BBQ and eating out on the deck. The location is PERFECT!! We only wish we had a few more days to further explore all of the fantastic beaches in the area.

Aaron and Anna were absolutely the best hosts. We ran into a few challenges while we were up there (our own doing!) and they were quick to help in anyway possible, going above and beyond what I would have ever expected.

We would recommend this place to anyone looking for a fantastic getaway by the beach. We will certainly be back!

Anna and Aaron were also very responsive and willing to help us as much as possible whenever we had questions or special needs. The location of this cottage is fantastic - walking distance to a great swimming/surfing beach, walking distance to wonderful snorkeling Sharks Cove beach and only 2 minutes of driving to Waimea Bay which was superb for swimming in May - beautiful, clear-water peaceful beach. We greatly enjoyed both the privacy of this residential neighborhood location and close proximity to great beaches and grocery store. Overall, this was an excellent choice of the place to stay.

First off, thank you Anna & Aaron! The hospitality was great, the home was perfect, the location was beautiful, the value was amazing... we truly couldn't have asked for anything more! (maybe another week) As a guest you have everything you need within walking or biking distance (bikes included). You essentially have your own private beach within feet from your door, famous public beaches and snorkeling minutes away (Waimea, Pipeline, Sunset, Shark's Cove) Great food in Ted's Bakery (fresh donuts and pies are insane), Shark's Cove Grill, Smoothies, Foodland Grocery... need I say more?! We are already counting down the days before we get to return and stay there again.

I'm hesitant to give such a good review because we want the place to ourselves! Haha

Mahalo Aaron and Anna for your outstanding hospitality!

If you're looking for a true North Shore experience with all the comforts you need to truly relax, this place is perfect. We loved making a quick breakfast, heading out for the day then coming back to BBQ seafood at night.

There are several beach options within walking distance, you can see the action at Pipeline or chill on a very secluded section of sand for some quality reading time. This place and the surrounding area exude the laid back nature of the North Shore; we absolutely loved staying here.

Aaron and Anna were both incredibly hospitable, we're looking forward to staying at this property again! Best- Laurie and Joel

Waited a year to reserve a week after meeting a couple on the beach who loved the place. Stayed 1wk in Feb.2010. Perfect location, close to food and a very private beach. Particularly loved watching humpback whales from our beach chair. Anna and Aaron are perfect hosts. Aaron even warns you when a tsunami is arriving!

My wife and I stayed 3 days; we had a lovely time. The
cottage was absolutely clean and well attended, and
the owners (who live nearby and are accessible) open,
friendly, and keen to make the stay enjoyable. The
area is beautiful, to say the least. Highly
recommended.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Ke Iki Beach Hale cottage! Anna and Aaron were very helpful and went out of their way to be of assistance. Our only regret was not taking the surf lessons Anna suggested. We need to plan another trip when we can stay longer! After visiting beaches on Oahu, Maui, Hawaii and Kauai we have to say that this was one of, if not the best beach we had the pleasure of visiting. We can’t wait to go back!

We had a blast living at the house for a couple weeks. Anytime you can holiday to a place like this and not have to stay in a hotel is excellent and this place has everything you need too feel like a resident. The neighbourhood is friendly (even after the noise complaint...sorry again!) and the beach is private and quiet. I would definately recommend this house and would return in a heartbeat!

The cottage was great and the Valentines Day dinner cooked by Jill was great. We will be back next year and are planning a wedding.

We liked Aaron and Anna, who manage their rental as friendly professionals: quick replies and offers to help. We liked the locale: easy access to a quality market, the Waimea Valley for indigenous culture, and more beach than we could explore. We liked the conveniences and appointments of the cottage: a working kitchen and washer/dryer were "treats" after a week in a hotel; the ipod player gave us joint access to our music; the WiFi connection was fast and reliable; we felt safe and secure. We'd rather have had less rain (mid-Oct.), a proper chef's knife and a way to live in the tropics without sighting an occasional palmetto bug indoors. Net: we enjoyed our stay and readily recommend this opportunity to others.

The house was really wonderful. For all who are considering this place as a vacation rental, you will not be disappointed. The house is perfect for two people. My husband and I got married right down the street from this place. Afterwards we had a personal chef come and cook our wedding dinner. Anna could not have been more helpful or more accommodating. She even moved her car so that the chef could park in the driveway.

But Anna's great personality is only matched by how immaculate she keeps her properties. The decor, the location and the all of the extras that she adds in ( like the bikes, snorkel gear, boogie boards, and more) are the icing on the cake. We will be returning as this is one of the best places for a couple to stay on the North Shore. (Oh yes, and by the way, her rental rates are very reasonable.)

The location is great-right in the middle of all the great beaches (although the private beach right next door is the best!) And we loved the short drive to Haleiwa for the restaurants, shopping and ocean activities. We enjoyed watching "Java" the chocolate lab chase his ball into the ocean. What a good dog!

Aaron and Anna offered lots of friendly advice on stuff to do and places to see and made us feel most welcome. Thanks again guys! My only complaint would be that it's on the other side of the world. ;)

Our stay at the Ke Iki Beach Hale was wonderful. The
cottage had everything we needed and more! The
beach cruisers were tops, I don't think we used our car
the whole stay. We even rode the cruisers to and from
our wedding!!! We will certainly be back to stay again
in the future.

Aaron and Anna,
Karla and I were extremely impressed with our stay at your rental. Everything you represented was right on. We've been to the beaches and used rentals here in the southeast mainland, but you blew them out of the water. Everything that we could possibly need was provided. The quiet semi-private beach was a big plus for us. Fantastic job and you have a great house. We recommend your rental to all! We are looking forward to seeing you next year. If anyone who reads this needs to ask either Karla or I any questions, please have them feel free to call or email us.
Again, Aaron and Anna, RIGHT ON!!!!

We had a fantastic time on the North Shore at Aaron & Anna's beach cottage. The cottage was very clean, comfortable and well stocked. We couldn't have asked for a better location. The beach and the sunsets every night were beautiful. We would definitely recommend this rental.

What a wonderful weekend we enjoyed at your cottage. It was so peaceful and full of light. The only downfall was that we could only unlock one of the cruiser bikes, so we couldn't ride to Ted's Bakery.

Our stay on the North Shore was the highlight of our trip which included staying in Aaron and Anna's Ke Iki Beach cottage. We could'nt have been more pleased with our accomadation. The cottage is in a great location, very clean, and has all the amenities of home. We look forward to many return trips.
