Property Overview
Hawaii Tax I.D for both TAT & GET. No. 027-702-8864-01
Our oceanfront home, Kawela Kai, is located on the North Shore of Oahu in between Sunset Beach and the Turtle Bay Resort. The stretch of beach where we are located is beautifully secluded and uncrowded. The beach is protected by a coral reef.
The house is an air conditioned, cozy, two-bedroom, single-family home with it's own yard. It is furnished with a fully-equipped kitchen and all linens. The house has been upgraded and includes; granite counters, soft close cabinets and drawers in the kitchen, stainless steel appliances, crown molding throughout, and plantation shutters. There is one queen and two single beds. The house is not high-end fancy. If you are looking for luxurious accommodations, our house is NOT for you. It is clean, cozy, and cared for lovingly. For your convenience, we offer wireless internet access.
The house has a lovely covered lanai for protection from the sun or if you are a sun lover, there is a nice grassy area between the house and the ocean where you can soak up the sun. During the winter months and early spring, you may have the opportunity to see the humpback whales that migrate from Alaska. If the surf is not too high, you may see the whales breathing and breaching right from the lanai. Other wildlife may be seen from the lanai; such as birds, turtles, rays, Hawaiian monk seals, and the occasional surfer.
There is a washer and dryer available for your use during your stay. As with many oceanfront homes on the North Shore, we are located on the road that goes around the island, so the bedrooms may experience some traffic noise at different times of the day.
The house sits about 18 feet above the beach. Access to the beach is via steps in the sea wall. Good mobility is required for the steps down to the ocean. Other access to the beach from the house is two to three houses down the road by the beach park. Directly in front of the house is a flat rocky/sandstone surface with sandy beach further away to the right and the left of the house. Access to the water directly in front of the house is over a sandstone surface, and a lava/coral shelf.
It is recommended that only those very comfortable in the ocean access the water in front of the house. Experienced ocean swimmers may swim, snorkel, and surf in front of the house during the months from late spring through early fall, but because we are on the North Shore, when the surf is up it is not safe for inexperienced swimmers just about anywhere on the North Shore.
During the winter months, the powerful awesome large surf on the North Shore is tremendously exciting to watch. We are located two miles from Sunset Beach, three miles from Pipeline, and five miles from Waimea Bay. These three beaches are world famous for the large surf and surfing competitions. Even if you do not surf, it is exhilarating to watch!
We are located ten miles from historic Haleiwa town which offers a variety of shops and restaurants. We are about a mile from the championship golf courses at the Turtle Bay Resort.
We do not rent our house out for parties, weddings, or any other type of gatherings. The maximum number of people, including babies and children, allowed is a total of four.
NOTE: Due to the City and County of Honolulu vacation rental ordinance Bill 89 settlement agreement, our property is a legally established dwelling that is rented for periods of 30 consecutive days or more at any one time. Questions or dates unavailable? Click on the "Ask owner a question" button.

Reviews
The house was as advertised. Great ocean view, comfortable beds, and good shower pressure. We loved the miles and miles of walking trails at Turtle Bay. Walking near the house was hard because of the busy highway running behind the property. The owners were quick to reply with the small issues we had. The kitchen does need to have more plates and silverware added. So nice to have access to a washer and dryer. The giant waves and surf competitions were fun to see.
This property is in the ideal location. Oceanfront, near snorkel spots and great beaches. I haven't seen this mentioned in any of the reviews, but it is near Kahuku golf course. A very nice 9 hole oceanside course. Very unpretentious and relatively inexpensive compared to other courses in Hawaii for non residents. The beach in front of the home is a little hard to get down to as the listing mentions, but not horrible. There are nice tidepools to explore and you can actually walk several miles down the beach if you so desire. The owner is very responsive for a small issue that we had.
A average rental property that will do the job but not much else. How it got so many 5 star reviews baffles me. I guess people who have never used a great rental do not know the difference between so-so rentals and good ones. If you choose this rental, just know that the beach below it is unusable. Nice to look at, but not to enjoy. The owners clearly state that, but you will need to go elsewhere for true beach enjoyment. All the appliance work fine, but you will need to bring almost everything else besides what the owners state is included. So the bottom line is this: This is a RENTAL unit, not someone's home. There are very few extras, (as the owner states) unlike a very well appointment home rental. Just go into this unit with low expectations and you will be fine. Have fun!
Right on the ocean with beautiful sunsets just about every evening. Loved listening to the ocean. Kitchen well equipped. Bed was comfortable. Close by famous beaches. Saw 16 ft waves at the Pipeline. Lots to do nearby and driving a short distance. Beautiful walks everyday! Great food nearby. We are vegan and there were a lot of places with delicious food which is sometimes hard to find! We could have spent another month! Also our host was available to answer any questions immediately. LOVED our stay here!
Cozy oceanfront cottage. This cottage was well equipped and very comfortable for three guests in December. it is not located next to a good swimming beach but the views are incredible of the ocean and waves breaking on the reef. Beautiful back lawn and lanai for sunbathing and ocean gazing.
The property is lovely with a spectacular view. It's in a great location close to all of the things we were interested in seeing in the North Shore area. The owners were attentive and responsive to any need or concern. We definitely recommend this place and want to book it again. Thank you so very much!
Awesome!
Ocean views were beautiful! Quiet neighborhood ! Great location close to all north shore
We really enjoyed our stay at this cozy home. We enjoyed all of our meals on the lanai with an excellent view of the ocean. Sunsets are stunning and we loved the direct access to the beach for evening strolls. Definitely recommend!
We stayed a week, myself and two teen granddaughters. Lovely little house on the beach. The view was great and we could walk to a sandy area for swimming and sun bathing. Wish there were stairs down to shore. It was a climb over some rocks but all worked ok. We loved it!
