“The pictures do not do this place justice! We saw over 100 whales breaching/spouts right from the property over a week. Whole family of 70+ to 8 week old were comfortable and enjoyed the heated pool, game room, movie theatre and outdoor spaces! Highly recommend a private luau with Chef Sasha. Great interaction with the host.”

“We enjoyed 10 days on the North Shore at Samurai House in late January. The experience was fabulous from start to finish - Donna and her husband were so friendly, helpful, and attentive! The kids lived in the pool and we were able to watch the dynamic waves and surfers right from the pool deck - we even had some whale sightings! The location was so convenient between Haleiwa and Waimea Valley and we made multiple visits to both. We have stayed at many rental properties and this was one of the most well appointed and generous homes we have experienced - highly recommend!”

Samurai House is everything we hoped for and much more. Eight of us stayed here with plenty of room to get away for some quiet time if needed. Sunsets were stunning and I am really going to miss the sound of the waves. The house is wide open to the outdoor patio and pool . Every one of the 5 bedrooms has an ocean view!!!! We loved the tiki torches and the gazebo daybed. Very comfe beds. The kitchen is over the top and easily handled our crowd. Wood burning fireplaces and outdoor fire pit were a bonus!! The swinging egg chair was never empty. The master suite is a romantic getaway on its own. Our host Donna was very helpful in going through the entire house with us upon our arrival. She was a joy to work with and very responsive. Thank you so much for the experience of a lifetime.

The Samurai House and our experience staying there was truly perfect in every way. First, the home was impeccable and had every possible amenity you could imagine. We were a group of 7 and had more than enough room to enjoy our times together, but could also sneak off and read a book or enjoy the scenery in a quiet spot by ourselves. And the view, well, the view….spectacular. The house managers were amazing…they were so lovely and responded to any question we had within about a minute (not kidding)! All in all, we give the house and the experience 12 stars out of 10. Mahalo, Samurai House! We will be back, for sure!!!

The Samarai House is unforgettable! The views are amazing. We saw whales everyday. The house delivers in every respect! Donna was terrific. We had our wedding at the house and it was an absolutely perfect setting!
