I couldn't have asked for a better studio with an incredible view of the valley and the North Shore. I feel as comfortable as I do at home with their house being located in a great neighborhood. You will not find better hosts than Love and Amy, and they were always checking up to see if there was anything we needed for a better experience. I will not stay anywhere else besides here when returning for the winter swells in December. The drive to the North shore beaches is only a minute drive down the hill with birds-eye scenery all the way to the bottom. Overall, if you are looking to have a home away from home, this is the place to be.
Jun 27, 2019My husband and I loved staying at Amy and Love's North Shore Oahu Getaway! The unit was easy to find and just as described in the listing. The kitchenette had almost everything we could need and accommodated our cooking needs very well. Although we only used it once, the pool was easily accessible and crystal clear. The location was a bit away from the major cities, which was perfect for us, but would be something to consider for anyone looking to rent the unit, but also spend a lot of time in Waikiki or Honolulu. We found that there was plenty to do on the North Shore that was very near to the unit, though. Between Haleiwa, the Dole plantation, Sunset Beach, Waimea Bay, etc. there was a lot to explore in the immediate area. Also, the restaurant recommendations that Amy and Love gave us were spot on (especially Opal's Thai restaurant in Haleiwa). We would definitely return to Amy and Love's rental if on Oahu again!
Jun 27, 2019My best friend and I stayed at Love and Amy's for 5 days at the beginning of May and wished we could have stayed for much longer. Love and Amy are fantastic, gracious hosts who made us feel totally welcome. They had some awesome recommendations for places to go and eat in town. Their place is in an awesome location on Pupukea hill and is close to all the major things to do on the North Shore. It is a bright and airy space with gorgeous view of the vegetation outside. The kitchen had everything we needed and the bathroom was clean with a lovely large shower. We loved staying at Love and Amy's and will definitely be returning for longer in the near future.
Jun 27, 2019We feel truly blessed to have landed at Love and Amy's door. The apartment was beautiful-super clean, comfortable, well equipped kitchen, gorgeous bathroom and stunning grounds. We went there to relax before having our baby and I can't imagine anywhere else being this comfortable and calm for a couple expecting their first baby in a couple of moths. Love was very helpful and kind with lots of great suggestions for the North Shore. We would highly recommend their place to all our family and friends. This was our first time using airbnb and we are very happy with our experience.
Jun 27, 2019Vacationing in Hawaii itself is a fantastic thing, but when we decided to choose Amy's & Love's Studio we just made a wonderful vacation into an extraordinary experience! The studio is nicely equipped with all amenities and privacy that you need during your stay, the pool/hot tub are open for your use and also the pool area grill. The main advantage about staying here are with your hosts, what a fantastic family, Amy, Love and Haven (not to mention TomTom, Polka and Rosemary, the family pets) are great, they are always available to help you with anything that you would require. They made our vacation an unforgettable and incredible time, we believe that we made new friends for life! We enjoyed every moment we spend in the island either relaxing in the beach, exploring the mountains, or only by simply sharing a meal while having a great conversation with Amy and Love. We were bitten by the island lifestyle bug and we are anxious to get back there soon! We know that we have fantastic friends there and will be a blast to see them again in the near future. Thank you Amy, Love and Haven for your hospitality, friendship and kindness! We truly miss you guys! Mahalo! Alessandro and Juliana
Jun 27, 2019We spent 5 days in the studio. It is a spacious room, very clean, bright and airy. The location is great-- it's a short drive to either sunset beach or waimea bay. The studio is great for sure but even better was getting to know Love and his family. As we were driving to the North Shore, Love called to see where we were and if we needed help in getting to the place. He was there to greet us as we drove up to the property and all through our stay was helpful and generous. We really felt like we were staying with a friend! It's a great studio, wonderful owners and its reasonably priced. You can't do better if you are looking for a quiet place on the North Shore. We would highly recommend this place to anyone!
Jun 27, 2019The accommodations showed in the photo are spot on. Very clean, modern, spacious and tranquil. Very high ceilings and a cool mountain breeze was an added bonus! Love made every effort to help us feel at home. He provided us with all of the necessary beach equipment i.e beach chairs. umbrella, snorkel gear etc. Located in the heart of the north shore. Can't beat it!!! Thanks Love!
Jun 27, 2019WE LOVED IT! Great North Shore location. It was exactly as advertised and was a very comfortable, clean place to stay. Love was an awesome host.
Jun 27, 2019WOW, what more could we say? From the first email, Amy and Love were friendly and courteous, replying in a timely manner to all our emails. The studio was clean and neat, providing all that was needed for our vacation, from snorkel equipment, beach chairs, fresh fruit from the grounds and even a pool with a Jacuzzi. Just a couple minutes’ drive from Sharks Cove but tucked away in a safe, clean and relaxing neighborhood with a great view.. Amy and Love were more than helpful and informative with all of our questions on hiking, surfing and of course local dining. We can’t wait to visit Oahu again and of course we’ll be staying at the Hawaii Oahu North Shore getaway! Thanks again Amy and Love!
Jun 27, 2019This was exactly what we wanted and to be away from the tourism and hotel/condo scene was perfect. It was truly an oasis! We also enjoyed the chickens and cat they own. I would love to come back here and bring our parents and have them stay in the pool house available for rent as well.
Jun 27, 2019Love Hodel is an incredibly warm, attentive host and a genuinely interesting dude. My wife and I had the immense pleasure of staying at his North Shore studio during our honeymoon and we came away relaxed, beaming, and wanting desperately to return. Why? Let me explain. First the property is quiet. I mean pin-drop quiet. Located just a short drive up a country road from the Food Land near Pupukea Beach (pro-tip: the ahi poke is marvelous), the loudest thing you’ll hear is the chirping of tropical birds (and maybe a rooster) early in the morning. At night you’ll see stars so vivid you’ll swear you’re in a planetarium. (Pro tip #2: bring a small flashlight - the country roads tend to be sparsely lit.) It’s only about a 7-minute drive down to the beach for some of the finest food, surf, and sand anywhere on the planet. Second, Love is one of the coolest, friendliest, and most mellow hosts we’ve ever encountered. A professional surfer/stuntman/fight coordinator (yes, people this cool actually exist) he went out of his way to make us feel like old friends. When the water heater broke during our stay did he toss up his hands and say, “I dunno what to do. Maybe shower at the beach?” Heck no, techno! He offered us the shower in the nearby pool house while ensuring the water heater in our unit was repaired quickly. Look, I’ve been to Oahu like a million times. If you’re mulling the merits of staying somewhere with a little more action - like say downtown Honolulu – don’t do it. It’s like sleeping in a hot metal garbage can while someone bangs on the outside with a hammer. Staying at Amy and Love’s place, on the other hand, is like getting a deep tissue Shiatsu massage while being spoon fed macadamia nut ice cream. During your stay you’ll find yourself asking questions like “I wonder how long I can extend my vacation without losing my job?” and “How much does property cost on the North Shore?” While everyone will answer these queries differently one thing you’ll never question, if you stay at Amy and Love’s place, is your choice of accommodation.
Jun 27, 2019We stayed in Amy & Love's studio for a week over the Thanksgiving holiday. The studio was perfect for us. It is clean and comfortable; being able to make food is great! Amy and Love generously shared their land with us as well, letting us pick starfruit and swim in the pool/hot tub. Their son Haven came to play with our son Rex and the whole family brought us into their home, even offering to share Thanksgiving with us. We enjoyed this studio and would definitely stay here again when returning to the North Shore.
Jun 27, 2019The place is just perfect. Modern kitchen, modern bathroom, great apartment. Located in a calm area, but really close to everything if you take the car. Love such a great host! He was super cool , easygoing and nice! He also helped us to get some surf lessons. I definitely recommend this place!
Jun 27, 2019I'll let all the other great reviews speak for me. This is just as you see & read, if you want a quiet getaway but close to everything the North shore has to offer, and only 70 minutes to The furthest possible points on the island, then this is a wonderful choice.
Jun 27, 2019I could just repeat the previous comments! It's a great place on north shore with very nice, helpful and welcoming hosts! we had everything we could ask for. We loved to stay here and it was the perfect place to come after super busy and touristy Honolulu. The only thing a regret a little is not having taken a surf (Website hidden by Airbnb) DO IT!
Jun 27, 2019Amy and Love's place was absolutely wonderful. We have been to the North Shore three times and stayed at AirBnB residences each time. Amy and Love's place was hands down the best, not that the others were bad. Everything is as advertised so I don't need to regurgitate the other reviews. The living space was comfortable and had everything you need to make meals. We recommend them to anyone looking for wonderful residence on the North Shore.
Jun 27, 2019If you are staying in the northshore it is the best place you could find! Everything was perfect, small Kitchen well equiped, nice bathroom, very good bed, nice pool... Everything you will need for a wonderful stay is there, Even snorkel gear, beach towels and beach chairs! Love is a very nice host and we hope to come back soon with our family... I definetly recommand it!!!! Aloha from France
Jun 27, 2019My wife and I could not have enjoyed our time more at Amy and Loves place. The place is clean, quiet, comfortable and close to everything on the North Shore. All of the communications with Love were very prompt and gracious. Kept in touch with me very late in the evening with our arrival due to airline issues and even offered late check out with our late departing flights. I will certainly recommend this place to anyone wanting to visit the North Shore and we hope to return again. Thanks to Love and Amy's place out trip was very relaxing and everything we wanted for a Hawaiian vacation.
Jun 27, 2019We had a great time. The nearest beach is Shark's Cove, which is just down hill from their place (a few minutes drive). They keep the place tidy and clean, and the bed was comfortable. The windows are big and bring in a lot of light. It may not feel super private, as there are no curtains on some of the windows. But, at night, there is no noise pollution and we slept great. Amy and Love are also very helpful and friendly. Thanks for having us!
Jun 27, 2019This was our first trip to Oahu and the Hodel's studio on the North Shore was the perfect place to stay. It was modern, clean, quiet and safe. We were off the beaten path, which is exactly what we wanted. Love told us about the best local places to eat and hang out at the beach. He was available if we had questions or needed anything. We can't wait until our next visit!
Jun 27, 2019The studio is spacious and clean. The kitchen came with everything we needed to prepare meals. Love was very prompt when we made a couple of special requests. We were very comfortable with the neighborhood, and enjoyed walks in the afternoon. Nice space, great hosts, would stay again.
Jun 27, 2019My boyfriend and I stayed at Love´s place for 2 weeks, and everything was great. The owner is very helpful with his detailed diretcions to get to the house and other questions we had. The apartment is big, with a great bathroom, very close to all the North Shore beaches. There is a supermarket (Foodland) 5 min driving. I thought it would be kinda "desert" around the house, but I was wrong: it is surronded by beautifull houses until you reach a very short road that leads to the beach. Love and Amy were very friendly, I would recommend this place for anyone!
Jun 27, 2019Amy and Love were exceptional. Very nice to deal with and a pleasure to rent from They have the perfect set up for anyone wanting to experience the North Shore of Oahu. Love put us right at ease and made us feel like family. We woke up to the sounds of birds in the lush tropical setting where their house sits high atop a mountain. The place was immaculate and very up to date. The proximity to everything on the North Shore can not be beat. It was very private like having your own guest house. Nice and quiet surroundings. A class act to say the least. I felt like I hit the jackpot of places to stay on the North Shore. I hope to book more dates in the future with them. Can not say enough good things about my experience there. Mahalo Amy and Love….
Jun 27, 2019Amy and Love were awesome! Their place is absolutely beautiful, and so clean and cozy. It's just a short drive to some of the most beautiful beaches, and fun things to do on North Shore. I would definitely stay here again and will be recommending it to friends as well. Thank you Amy and Love!
Jun 27, 2019We loved it here! It's a perfect place to feel at home in North Shore. Love was very friendly and ensured that we were doing fine in the midst of a possible hurricane. The description and pictures are very accurate. The location is beautiful and a quick drive to wonderful beaches. I would be happy to stay here again.
Jun 27, 2019Great spot on the north shore. We had a great time! Everything went smoothly.
Jun 27, 2019We loved our stay on the North Shore and felt very welcomed by Love and Amy. The studio is clean, modern, quite, and peaceful! I highly recommend this place.
Jun 27, 2019Amy & Love's place was truly a home away from home. They are in a beautiful location only a few minutes from the beach. We had everything we needed in the full kitchen and really nice bathroom. The bed was also nice and comfortable. It was an ideal space for the two of us. Amy and Love were very nice hosts and a super cute family. They were around whenever we had questions and also helped set us up with surfing lessons. Overall, we would definitely recommend this place and it is totally worth the money.
Jun 27, 2019This was the perfect homebase to our week on Oahu. The property is very large with lots of fruit trees, and natural vegetation. There is a large lap pool. We stayed in the studio. Very simple furnishings, beautiful wooden ceilings and beautiful bathroom. It was exactly what we were looking for. It is located in a wonderful neighborhood and we often ran the hills in the morning. I think the location cannot be beat! You are close to all the main surf beaches on the North Shore. Amy and Love were so great! They were friendly, kind and very fun to talk with. They were there to help you and were the perfect hosts!
Jun 27, 2019This place is great! Amy and Love are great hosts, made us feel welcome at their very private guest room and gave us great suggestions for activities. The room is over the garage with a private staircase and is exactly like the photos. The kitchen is well equipped and the bathroom is very nice too. The neighborhood is beautiful and quiet. About 20 minutes to Haleiwa, 10 minutes to Weimea Valley and 5 minutes to the supermarket. Fun and easy!
Jun 27, 2019The place was exactly as described. The hosts were helpful and very friendly.
Jul 27, 2019We absolutely loved our visit! Amy & Love's home is in a beautiful quiet neighborhood and is very close the water and to everything the North Shore has to offer. The apartment was very clean and has cooking pots and dishes if you're looking to have a few meals at the house (although, make sure you visit local food stands and restaurants!) The studio is very private. We were very quiet guests and were essentially off every morning on our own adventures, but Love was incredibly nice and was sure to check in with us. The place has a great big bath, beautiful wood beam ceiling, very comfy bed and beautiful lush surroundings. Haleiwa is such a beautiful area and we wish we could have stayed longer to explore more.
Jun 27, 2019This spot on the North Shore of Oahu was fantastic! Love was very helpful and kept in touch the whole time we were there. He made sure that we had everything that we needed. I truly felt at home. I can't wait to come back!
Jun 27, 2019My girlfriend and I loved staying at Love and Amy's place. It was the perfect North Shore get away and took us away from all the Honolulu tourist traps. We really loved being close to Waimea Bay and Pupukea Beach for the snorkeling. It was quiet and the grounds were peaceful. Thanks again Love!
Jun 27, 2019Love was a great host. I booked his place at the last minute, actually while boarding a plane to fly to Hawaii. Since it was last minute and his normal house cleaner wasn't available, he personally was cleaning the apartment when I arrived. He allowed me to check in early so I could drop off my stuff in a safe location and hit the surf. The place is in a quite neighborhood up the the hill from the only grocery store in the area, Foodland. The location was convenient for getting everywhere on the North Shore and since it is up in Pupukea it is a little cooler, which is great when sleeping at night with the windows open. Since I was flying out on a red-eye, Love also allowed me to checkout late since no one was renting the place for a few days.
Jun 27, 2019Love was a great host, attentive and polite. This place is in the perfect location on the North shore, good access to shops, restaurants and all the stunning beaches on the North. A beautiful property,tropical relaxed and cozy feeling. Very spacious,clean and perfect for a couple. Peaceful at night with a comfortable bed and wifi access. The pool looks fantastic even though we were so busy touring around Hawaii we didn't have time to use it. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a good spot to take in the laid back North shore vibe. We can't wait to go back!!! PS make sure to check out the restaurants recommended by Love & Amy in the arrival welcome booklet.
Jun 27, 2019For us, this was the perfect location on the North Shore. Amy and Love were great and the little bungalow was excellent for 2. Very unusual to have a pool but it was a welcome addition for the days when we returned home late in the afternoon and were looking for a little quiet time. We will definitely be returning! mahalo
Jun 27, 2019My boyfriend and I had an amazing week-long stay at Amy and Love's place. The apartment was clean and comfortable. The location was beautiful, very scenic. Love and Amy were very communicative and gracious hosts. We are so happy that we opted to rent a car and stay on the North Shore for our vacation instead of staying at one of the high-rises on Waikiki. We definitely recommend staying here!
Jun 27, 2019What perfect and peaceful home! Love and Amy provided a great place to stay. We were greeted with lychee from their tree and a super friendly cat named Tom. Everything we needed was there,easy, and it was nice to be in the quiet and still close to everything you want on the North Shore. You could really hear the wildlife and sounds of Hawaii. The apartment was a good size with all the amenities. Thanks again Love and Amy! Aloha
Jun 27, 2019If you're headed to the North Shore, this is a great place to stay. Amy and Love are super friendly hosts and they have a beautiful property. My boyfriend and I spent 5 nights here but wish we could've stayed longer. The unit is spacious, very clean and quiet. It's situated in a pretty neighborhood and we loved that we were just a quick drive away from so many gorgeous beaches. It's also just up the hill from Foodland, which made grocery shopping easy and convenient. We highly recommend this spot and we already can't wait to go back. Thank you!
Jun 27, 2019My husband and I spent nine nights in Oahu and thoroughly enjoyed our stay on the North Shore. Love was a great host and the place was exactly what we wanted for our stay. We would definitely return again.
Jun 27, 2019Amy and Love are the perfect hosts and their guest home is the perfect getaway on the north shore of Oahu. I have stayed at this property long term in the summer and have had no problems! The space has vaulted ceilings which give such an open air feel along with a large bathroom and living space. Love and Amy are gracious hosts and can recommend all local activities and to do’s! I would recommend staying at their property to any family and friends staying on the north shore of Oahu and will definitely being staying with them again in the future!
