We stayed for nine nights. Wonderful home in a great location. Everything was as or better than expected. Sea turtles can be seen in the waters daily from the back porch. Close to Haleiwa, which has everything you need. Only 15 minutes to Waimea Falls, Sunset Beach, and the Dole Planation.

The home was perfect for our group. Large gathering areas with incredible views and direct beach access. We loved the location being in a quiet neighborhood. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a place away from the cities.

I mean, I don’t think I could have dreamt of a better place. Everything about this week was so incredibly perfect, I didn’t want to leave. Thank you so much and this place will always be the first one we look up when we go to Hawaii! Highly recommend!

Ahola,
The Sea of Glass house had a few items that weren't operational. The bathroom door lock to the loft and children's room was broken, unable to lock the door to take a shower. There weren't enough large family size bowls to serve large meals for a family of 10. The toaster only had 2 slots and a 4 slot toaster was needed for a family of 10. We tried to reach the owner because there was a power outage in our area and we had no response for 3-4 hours, thus we couldn't leave the house unlocked to head out on our Pearl Harbor tour for the day. The house is a smart house and requires electricity to the lock the house, so half of the family stayed so as not to leave the house unlock. The owner didn't response for 3-4 hours later. We could not find the tools to adjust the seats on the bikes for our morning bike rides. All-in-all, the views from the house were spectacular.
Mahalo,
Jackie from Boston

This home is so awesome. A perfect place for families - the home is spotlessly clean - decorated beautifully and is. so very modern with all the amenities.
The view of the ocean is so breathtaking ftom the house and balconies. . We went kayaking. snorkeling, and swimming- the beach is just steps away / we had our own private beach to enjoy. There are all sorts of equipment to use. We set up the volleyball net to play .
At night we saw sea turtles on the beach . The downstairs separate studio was excellent and private for my daughter and her newly wed husband.. Priscilla was so accommodating and great to work with, I would definitely come back to this paradise home! We loved it!!! 💝
Thank you Priscilla!

Wonderfully tucked away, private paradise. We really enjoyed this home for a small company getaway to work on strategy all day and then relax in the evening. A perfect working vacation.
