About this property

Entire place

Beautiful Spacious Cottage on 1.5 Acre of Lush, Gated Property. 30 Day Minimum.

A large private, free standing cottage/home with full amenities located 2 miles above Waimea Bay, including, in addition to the full bathroom, an added outdoor shower area, beautiful acre of green lawn and a TV room with 50' Plasma TV/DVD and quiet split Air Conditioning.

Away from the crowds, this is a beautiful, serene, gated property for the honeymooners, couples or quiet individuals. The acre and half is shared with the owners home on the same property. Less than 5 minutes to beach at a cool elevation. Surrounded by tropical fruit trees and plants including Mango, Banana, Avocado, Star Fruit, Tangerine, Lychee, Jack Fruit, Lemon, Pomolo, Macadamia and Coconut trees.

Sleeps 2 adults maximum, no exceptions (one king size bed + one single bed). We added a single bed located in the TV room for two singles traveling. The TV/Bed room can be private by closing the curtains. To maintain the special nature and experience of your stay; sorry, not suitable for children or pets and please, no smoking.

At the perfect elevation with cool Hawaiian breezes and away from noise and traffic this cottage/home gives you privacy with tinted glass windows, WiFi, cable, washer/dryer, microwave, dishwasher, AC and of course, plenty of aloha!

For the quiet, private persons you will find this to be a very special place to stay for a total retreat and recharged vacation. You will feel at home, private and at peace in this beautiful, tropical paradise.

We like to think of our place as a retreat from the world. A place to recharge, a base to return to, a feeling of peace and beauty. It is a home, away from home. Of course, we want the cottage to reflects this and wish our guests this experience.

We enjoyed our stay at this cottage very much. The cottage and grounds were large and beautiful. It was a wonderful stay. I especially loved picking fruit from the Starfruit tree! Inga and Rick were very kind.

Perfect Oahu lodging
Great property. Everything you may need is supplied. The house is well laid out, lots of comfortable furniture, large closets, the kitchen is well equipped and laid out well. The hosts are very nice folks and even though they live next door you never know they are there. 2 miles down the hill and you are at the beach. Food truck pod is at the bottom of the hill along with a nice Foodland grocery store. We enjoyed our stay and would book this property again.

Pupukea Paradise
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this spacious private cottage located in the heart of the north shore of Oahu. Our hosts were very accommodating providing us with information about the local area. The cottage was very well equipped with all the conveniences of home and very comfortable and relaxing which is why a vacation is so important! We will definitely return to Pupukea and highly recommend our hosts and this Pupukea paradise!

April 2019 visit
We found Inga and Rick's guest home to be precisely as described, and their accommodation to our arrival/departure schedules was very much appreciated. The spacious VRBO is well maintained and fully appointed with appliances, basic supplies, beach gear, and conveniences to make relaxing easy. Owners Rick and Inga were terrific hosts, and they made sure we had everything needed for an enjoyable week on our 50th anniversary. We never needed to use the air conditioning as several ceiling fans and louvered windows allowed good air circulation during day and night. We were delighted to discover that the guest home was outrageously quiet compared to closer to North Shore and Turtle Bay, where we had stayed the prior week. We would highly recommend this VRBO for its location, relative seclusion, and accommodating hosts.

Birds Galore
Beautifully built and creatively appointed, the large private cottage sits in a neighborhood removed from the busy North Shore. A lovely place for a quiet couple who want a retreat. Bird watching is wonderful and the hot/cold outdoor shower is an added perk. For those who love cooking, the kitchen is complete and well equipped. Foodland Market is close by.

Sanctuary
Really nicely appointed open space guest house next to the owners home (Rick and Inge) but very private. Completely private lot surrounded by thick natural hedges and vegetation with a open and closing front drive in gate. It was a wonderfully peaceful sanctuary after tackling the bustle and insanity of the North Shore! The house is very well appointed with everything you can need (except food of course) and Rick and Inge were perfect hosts who were very hospital, kind and respectful of our privacy. We loved our stay there.

Terrific place to style to immerse yourself in the North Shore way of life!
Location: Terrific distance from all North Shore spots and Foodland Shopping. Property is up against a valley on back boundary and located on a street that dead ends. Very Quiet and convenient. Condition: Very clean and very nicely decorated. Flooring, cabinets, countertops are very nice and in great condition. Drawers have self closers-which keeps noise down for the early riser. Amenities: Bed is terrific. Washroom is great. Outside shower stall is really nice for returns from beach....although it is private enough you could just take the daily shower out there and be secluded. Kitchen has all you might need for cooking. Beach chairs, umbrellas, ice chest, boogie boards etc provided for days on the beach. Rick was very helpful and responsive before and during our stay.

Spacious and Tranquil
Rick and Inge have a beautiful and spacious cottage. We loved staying in this peaceful neighborhood that is well protected by lush foilage. The cottage is well stocked and leaves nothing to want including a full size washer and dryer. Quick drive and you are at many beaches on North Shore and a well stocked grocery store. We experienced a winter storm which was no problem for this cottage as the yard was well protected. I’d highly recommend this cottage if you enjoy privacy and peaceful surrounding while being close enough to the other beauties of the island. Thank you for having us.

Wonderful stay! Very well equipped and spotless. Rick and Inga were so gracious and helpful.
The drive from Honolulu can be a challenge with heavy traffic. Once we found our “home” it was a great location for exploring the north shore. Would highly recommended this home. Leave your alarm clock behind; the island is full of confused roosters!

Great relaxing place to stay.
The owners met us and gave us a quick tour of the cottage when we first arrived. The cottage was clean, well equipped and laid out very nicely. The photo's on the website do not do this location justice. The owners also labeled the wall switches so that it was easy to locate the correct one to control the many lights and fans they have installed. They also had some "how to" books located throughout the cottage which we found very useful. Keep in mind that you are about 2.5 miles from the nearest beach by road, but they have many beach accessories you can put in your car and take with you to the beach. The Foodland store is also about 2.5 miles, and has a good selection of items. There is a nice group of food trucks located right next to the store if you don't want to cook. This was a very peaceful location that we will use again next time we are in Oahu if it's available.

Clean, Well Appointed, Quiet and Convenient
This was a lovely place to rest after busy beach and hiking days. The kitchen is perfect and not lacking a thing.The sheets and bed are wonderful as well as the decor with unique furnishings. It's up in a lovely quiet neighborhood; a car is a must but it's close to all the good beaches, supermarket etc.. It's incredibly clean as well! The hosts are very welcoming and available for questions. The private outdoor shower (there is an indoor shower as well) and clothesline were very practical when coming back from outdoor sandy activities. It would be nice to have an open outdoor seating area to watch the stars or beautiful plants but not a big deal since our days were filled with outdoor activities. I highly recommend this beautiful rental and the price is very good for the North Shore Area.

Very nice property in a beautiful setting on the North shore.
We had a wonderful time in this jungle mountain get away. Everything is just as pictured and is very clean and comfortable. The hosts are kind and helpful. Haleiwa and the North shore beaches are a short drive away. The North shore is a great place to get away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki and all the tourism. Relax here and enjoy the peace and serenity of the big waves especially in the winter months.

Peaceful, serene and comfortable.
If you desire a quite rural setting in a comfortable, modern rental, this is your place. It’s not on the beach, but it’s a short drive to nearby North Shore beaches. There is a convenient, well stocked grocery store, Foodland, where Pupukea Road meets Highway 83. If you like poke, be sure to buy some there. Good restaurants nearby. There is a good nearby hiking trail and an interesting historical park, Pu’u O Mahuka Heiau nearby. This park offers a stunning view of the western portion of the North Shore.

The cottage was large and roomy. Ground lush and well maintained. Hosts were gracious. Only downside was short drive to beach. However, very close to a Foodland for supplies. Would definitely stay again.

Great North Shore Cottage in Pupukea
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful cottage. It is spacious, clean, and comfortable and is located on a beautiful (and safe) property in the Pupukea uplands, perched above Waimea Bay and about 5 minutes drive from the shoreline. We were able to cook when we wanted, but the cottage is close enough to drive quickly to Haleiwa (when Kam Highway is not congested). We appreciated the use of beach chairs and umbrella. Had there been a wave in sight, I would have used the available boogie boards. (We visited in June, when the North Shore is calm and serious surfers have disappeared.) Cable TV was available if we had wanted to use it. Rick was responsive and helpful and our stay went very smoothly. I highly recommend this vacation rental.

Beautiful peacefuly large space amongst the trees
What a beautiful space to return to each day after discovering Oahu’s North Shore! We loved our stay at Rick and Inga’s, two beautiful souls who welcomed us with hospitality above and beyond. The space is huge and well equipped, the bed is so comfortable that we’ve come home and now want a new one ourselves! We would recommend staying to anyone who wants to explore the north shore and have a beautiful retreat to return to each day. We would love to return some day. Christie and Grant

Really Nice Place to Stay on the North Shore
This cottage is beautifully decorated and we loved the location! Very well tended and taken care of. Great value for the money! Their was a rooster and some dogs that liked to be loud on the adjacent properties...that was a little bit annoying, but we would still stay here again because the house and property are that nice. Just as an FYI...the cottage is located on the same property as the owner's home. I can't remember seeing that in the description. Still private, but just wanted to put that out there in case others wanted to know.

This is a great pace to stay and relax. Cottage is actually very large and well stocked with beach items, soaps and various other items. Bed was the nicest of any we slept on in our 15 night trip; just like being home. The historical town of Haliewa and Turtle bay are each just 10 to 15 minutes away. We lost electricity on day due to high winds and Rich above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. Grounds were beautifully maintained. We would stay here again in a heart beat.

Large, lovely, well equipped spot above the north shore
Gracious hosts, beautiful spot. Large, spotless, well designed and equipped cottage with excellent kitchen (sharp kitchen knives!) and extremely comfortable king size bed. We enjoyed watching the Olympics on the giant TV in the comfy TV room. The hosts Rick and Inge are hospitable and thoughtful. There's no lanai or regular outside eating space, but they planted two very comfortable chairs on their large, lush lawn and invited us to lounge there all we wanted. It was peaceful watching the wind mills turning across the tops of the trees.
