In June 2009 my wife and I stayed here for 10 days. The other reviews say it all . . . SBTS is really an outstanding and fun place to stay. The beach is incredible (rivals the beaches of N. C.'s outer banks), and usually there is almost no one on it! The unit itself is so well equipped with... more

I looked at, stayed at a couple of places to stay on the North Shore but this place is miles ahead of anything I experienced! Amazing location, excellent accommodation, utilities, stocked fridge! But what really makes this place is the welcoming and hospitality the owners give. I cannot express what an impact this made on our holiday, anyone who has... more

Aloha, this was our third visit to Santa's in 3 years. My wife and I came this time to celebrate my 60th birthday. In addition, we sent our youngest daughter there on her honeymoon in 2004. Our daughter and son-in-law came away raving about the place and the managers, Gary and Cyndie Quinn, and we had to try it as... more

We just finished our third stay at Santa's, from September 4 - 8. As expected, we mostly had a great time and you can't beat the location if you're a fan of sitting on the beach and peoplewatching, doggiewatching, reading, etc. They provide all the basic amenities and more (washer and dryer, yay!) including brand new beach chairs, towels, and... more

My wife and I stayed here for three nights after a week on Maui and a night at the Kahala. What a great way to end a vacation. Located just steps from the ocean on the North Shore. Our favorite activities were grilling dinner, drinking wine on the gazebo with a killer view of the sunset every night. Or maybe... more

Reading the overwhelmingly positive reviews of Santa's, it seemed like a sure thing. This was my 10th trip to Hawaii, and the second time in a private home. I guess Santa's could conceivably be five stars if you've never been to Hawaii before. On the plus side, the bed is comfy, there is free internet access and the owners are... more

We managed to finally get a booking at this North Shore hideaway that we had read so much about. It is a converted under-story of the house of The Quinns, a very nice couple who bend over backwards to help you with anything you need. It is super-homey & cozy and in top condition. The fridge is full of food,... more

Husband and I stayed here for 5 nights. This place is great! It's the bottom of a duplex, no view to speak of from the inside, but it's right on the beach and the owners' have a nice pavilion at the back of the house, facing the beach for dining/surfer/sunset watching or whatever. It's a sweet setup inside, king bed,... more

This was heaven by the sea. The Quinn's (owners) were the most gracious couple and funniest pair that my wife and I have run into, they were great. We spent five days here and was it fabulous. The waves and the outdoor shower what a treat, and the place was stocked with just about everything. The gazebo was our absolute... more
