Sea of Glass is an architecturally stunning beachfront home on the North Shore of Oahu, completely remodeled in 2018.

This gated property on a cul de sac street offers privacy and security with passcode protected locks and a Ring security system.
The main floor of the house is situated on an elevated platform, enhancing infinite ocean views from every window. As you ascend the front steps and open the double front doors, you are greeted with wall-to-wall ocean views through the sliding doors and clerestory windows along the back of the great room.

Beautiful North Shore vacation home
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.

A few items in the Sea of Glass house were not operational
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

An Amazing Beachfront home!!!
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!

Wonderful house for a relaxing getaway
Everything was immaculate. Plenty of space for a group getaway. All the amenities that you could ask for, including bikes and water sports supplies. The kitchen was nicely stocked, the location is close and quiet. Priscilla was extremely responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. I have not spent much time in Hawaii, so this may be me being naive, but I thought the beach off the backyard would have been more swimmer-friendly. There is a lot of debris washed up, and it's pretty rocky. There are plenty of beaches nearby that are great for swimming and snorkeling. All in all a beautiful house and we all had an amazing time. Thank you Priscilla. Mahalo.
