Cozy Cottage centrally located on The North Shore.
The cottage was a great home base for our 5 days on Oahu. Minutes from many beaches, restaurants and shopping. The host made sure we had everything we needed. Hope to return 💯!

We wanted to feel like the locals so loved staying at the Bruner's cottage. The cottage was clean and light. Best sleep I've had in a while - bed was comfortable. The Bruners made sure we had everything we needed and were very accommodating (including fresh papaya picked by their son) and loved being greeted each day by Huckelberry. If we ever come back to Hawaii and need a place to stay, we are definitely booking this cottage.

Thank you so much for your guys hospitality. You were all super friendly as well as Huckleberry and Midnight. We had a wonderful stay and it was better than we were expecting. The house was really clean and the bedrooms were nice. Our son, LJ, still talks about Sunny boy too. He misses him and misses Hawaii as well. We definitely plan on staying with you guys again in the future. Thanks again and God bless you and your family!

Accuracy of Online listing is not clear
My child is allergic to cats and dogs. We did book this space (3 months upfront), because on the website it says that this place are not allowing any pets. About 1 month after booking I followed up with the host asking for the details/instructions/etc. She told me that she would send all 48 hours prior to arrival, as she did. Instructions said: "we have a friendly dog on the property". I sent a reply right away, explaining that my son is allergic and we cannot have any dogs or cats around. She told me that they will keep dog inside their house to make sure that it's not gonna contact our child. We arrived at 6:00pm, and by 6:30pm the dog was already running around the property, and just to be clear - this "friendly dog" is Pitbull. I have 2 kids - 2 years old and 8 years old (allergic one). I came to the vacation to relax, and do not think about their "friendly dog". Earlie morning, this dog was already next to our glass door, waiting for us without host around. We were basically locked in our tinny house until they decided to remove Pitbull. It was the worse experience ever. I did write the host explaining that it's not gonna work for us, my son already feeling very bad and we want to move out, and her reply was: "You cannot have your money back, because under the policy you have to cancel 14 days prior to arrival", but we knew about dog only 48 hours prior to arrival per her instruction email. We did move out regardless. Worse experience ever.

Best stay on the North Shore
Sarah and her family made us feel like family. From booking all the way through checkout, Sarah made sure that we had what we needed and if we didn’t, exactly where to get it. All of their recommendations for dining and activities were spot on! And I can’t forget Huck greeting us when we came home! The home itself was spacious enough for our family with two teens. We never felt like we were on top of each other. The location being so close to town made getting around easy and convenient. The only thing I wish is that we could’ve stayed longer! Whenever we do get back to Hawaii, we will not hesitate to book with Sarah again! Mahalo for everything , Sarah and family!

Clean, comfy and wonderful host!!
Everything we needed for our family of four to enjoy to north shore and come back to a clean, comfy place to stay. The house felt fresh and new and the beds were comfy! Stocked with beach chairs, boogie boards, snorkel/fins. Hosts were so helpful. The only downside is it’s not walking distance to town or beach but it’s a very short drive to incredible beaches and adorable town so not a problem. We really were happy with finding this place and being able to stay.

This property was perfect. It had everything we needed to set up a homebase for our trip. The cooler was a lifesaver! Its location was ideal, close to everything we needed, but far enough away from the crowds.The hosts were amazing, and went out of their way to make sure we were happy. (Thanks again for that frozen pizza!😁) They offered great suggestions for restaurants, beaches and activities. AND there was Huck, the dog. We miss him already! Thank you for everything- the amazing accomodations, and kindness. You made our trip better than we could have hoped! Hope to be back soon!♥️

Awesome Cottage with Amazing Hosts
My 16 yr old son and I stayed here and had a the best time! Cottage is spotless, comfortable, close to beaches, food and shopping. The hosts were extremely accommodating and easy to get a hold of. Check in/out was easy peasy, and our host hooked us up with their Shark Dive Charter - Hawaii Ocean Adventure Tours (better than One Ocean Diving) where we got to free swim/dive with sharks for an unforgettable experience. Wish we could have stayed longer, and definitely plan to visit again!

Sarah and Ryan were wonderful hosts, very communicative and available throughout our visit. The location and home were perfect! We truly felt we were coming “home” every evening after a long day of activities. As a bonus and being a dog lover, the highlight was having their pup Huckleberry greet us each morning. You won’t be disappointed!

An absolutely perfect place to stay!
The cottage was perfect!! It was very clean and comfortable and we felt safe and secure there. The property was everything we could have asked for. The beds are extremely comfortable, the AC was awesome and the kitchen was well stocked. There were so many extras like beach chairs, beach towels and boogie boards etc. We were also able to do laundry which was very helpful. Sarah is wonderful, she is so kind and easy to work with. I am afraid of dogs and she took her time to introduce us to their dog Huckleberry. He is very nice and to the shock of my family, I actually liked him! She also gave us suggestions on places to go and things to do. She suggested swimming with sharks which I had never thought I would ever do, but we did it and it was the highlight of our vacation. Sarah and Ryan actually own a tour and adventure company, if you are going to book any tours check with them first!! I wish I would have known before we had already booked and paid for all of ours. We felt very fortunate that this was the property we chose for our vacation. We will absolutely stay there again! Ryan and Sarah thank you for everything.

Great North Shore Getaway
Great rental in Waialua, short drive to Haleiwa. Clean. Even better feeling than what the photos show. Friendly and responsive hosts. Would definitely stay again! This is a unit on the back part of the hosts' property. And while I wasn't quite sure how it would work with being a back unit etc, it might have been the best part of the whole rental experience because they were the most amazing hosts and we had a nice time talking with them and hanging with Huckleberry (the friendly dog - but he does not go into the rental unit at all)! And if you want privacy, once you go into the back house, you can't even tell you're on a shared lot. There is AC in both bedrooms and if you keep the bedroom door open it cools off the living room easily. The futon is fairly large and drops down flat and there is a full sheet set if you need a third "bed". They hold one street parking spot for the unit, but anything beyond that might be a challenge in this neighborhood. Love this North Shore gem!

Amazing location, property, and host!
The property was perfect for our week long stay, and the hosts were incredibly kind, helpful, and accommodating! This little cottage is perfect for a group of 4 or a family traveling together, and the location was also great. Lots of great beaches, food joints, and hikes around and our stay could not have been any more perfect. The cottage was also a lot more spacious than anticipated. Next time we are in Hawaii we will definitely want to come back and stay here, we can’t recommend this place enough!
