Very narrow double bed, hardly a double bed. Limited kitchen, you have to be creative to make a hot meal. That said, location and price is best combo we found on Oahu.

We stayed at the family studio on the beach site and the location is just perfect, only a few feet from the waters edge.

Weird rules, e.g. you cannot check out if there's any dishes in the sink (even if they're not yours) - not gonna do anyone else's dishes. No recycling.

Great location, good vibes, on site parking. The bungalow has a great terrace. The room was tiny but it was ok. Surprisingly quiet for a backpackers. The nearest beach was right across the street. I wish I could've stayed longer.

It was lacking a few ustensiles and one shower for 10 people was a bit tight. Bedroom felt a bit crammed as well.

Loved the location, the fact that it was a little house to share with others and you could rent equipment. Also very close to a few stores which was practical.

The bathroom needed some care

The location and price were fantastic.

it rained a lot during our stay and there was a strong mould odour and white mould on window coverings in our room. We were alsonot given the room which I thought we had been assigned, upstairs with 2 single beds, but The lower bunk beds had very little head room , unable to sit up in them. Also

loved the location, close to shark diving tours, close to snorkelling and beach. comfortable common areas

Stayed in May 2024

some insects (but we are in the tropics) a bit loud at night (close to the road) stove with one burner only - it did not work so good

we stayed in the private studio, not in the dorms great location one minute from the beach; walking distance to several foodtrucks and a grocery stores big and comfy beds friendly staff chickens in the yard

I had a late arrival, which I would think happens often. So I was unable to speak to anyone. The location of the house is not easy to find, the signs are not easy to see in the dark. Once I found the house and found the box that had my key, I then had to find another house down the road, that was where I was staying. It took me 45 mins to figure it all out. Which isn’t all that bad, but after travelling and being exhausted and being alone trying to find it. It was not the most pleasant experience.

So close to the beach. The location was amazing!

Booked 3 nights and I ended up staying 5. Very good location across from the beach.

Great location on North Shore, the studio is on the beach and close to all the famous surfing beaches such as Banzai Pipeline. Very close to the property, there are great food trucks. We also enjoyed the amazing Poke bar at Foodland supermarket, also very close to the property.

Nothing to complain

Perfect way to feel the unique atmosphere of the North Shore. Staff was amazingly helpful and friendly (we wonder if someone has come over for the lost key we found on the beach ;) )

The room was rougher than we expected and the noise from the other guests was extremely intrusive.

The location couldn’t have been better, and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Lots of dust and dirt on walls and under and near edges of furniture

Great location. Loved the back house!! Great staff!! Soo friendly and helpful!! Such an amazing set up. Loved having the chance to borrow equipment as well!

Whilst endearing, there was often chickens in the kitchen sink, which really didn’t want to make you cook any food

WiFi in the rooms is unstable (but fast in the common area)

Amazing place. Directly next to the beach. Quiet village but food trucks and supermarket nearby. Free rental of surfboards and beach equipment. Lots of space, easy to get in contact with other guests

Stayed in March 2024

The rooms could use a bit of TLC and a deeper clean for sure. Based on other reviews we knew this going in and likely the owners are well aware. (Possibly this filters out high maintenance customers?) If you don’t mind that sort of thing, then this place is heaven on earth.

Unbeatable location; very peaceful and friendly staff. Loved our private room which looks right over the beach with a deck and small kitchen. Three different beaches, stores and restaurants just steps away.

Nothing

Wonderful lovation, right on the Beach. We booked a standard studio, it was simple, but had all you wanted.

Shower needs an upgrade.

Straight across from the beach, foodland on the next corner, bathroom/ kitchen were far from new but did the job and could easily cook meals with the provided utensils. Beds/ lounge pretty comfortable! Never had an issue finding a car park spot on site. Prime spot, cool to be around other travellers, super friendly easy-going staff. Would definitely stay there again.

Stayed in February 2024

Location, comfortable clean beds, free parking, had everything we needed, Foodland close by was great. Not fancy, but we ate well, slept well, enjoyed Sharks Cove snorkeling and swam around fish/turtles (walking distance), saw best sunsets and enjoyed local hospitality! Owners/staff very friendly, bring some Tim Hortons coffee if visiting from Canada for the staff.

Don't expect the Ritz. It's hard in the tropics, but there were a lot of bugs, mostly roaches in the kitchen and bathroom. The sheets on the bed did not fit and kept coming off. The dishes were not very clean. Generally a bit run down but worth it for the location and seclusion.

We could literally could see the waves from our balcony. Incredible beach location. Sunset views steps away. We were in the "Beach House". Falling asleep to the sound of the waves was lovely. The staff were friendly and helpful with tips on things to see. Felt very homey.
