beautiful spot, way different feel than the city if that's what you're after. We loved sitting on the beach, the back deck, and being away from the hustle and bustle!

Directly on the beach..Sat and watched sunsets every night. Tide pools and a beach you could take a short walk on and a Lani we ate on most nights. Our favorite North Shore beaches just minutes away. Only suggestions would be a little updating..but for the price point, nothing unexpected. Roosters could be re-homed…lol. but typical for North shore. We lived on Oahu years back…so we know where to stay..and this is the place if you are focused on beachfront and North Shore. Mahalo.

Quaint cottage with the right balance of modern convenience without losing its original 1940’s charm. Situated right on the ocean, I could slip down the stairs in my PJ’s, coffee in hand and dip my toes in the ocean. The grassy lawn was the perfect spot for my teens to tan, while I relaxed in the shade with a book. Ted’s bakery just down the street became a family favorite and Kawela Beach just 1 minute down the road felt like our little secret. I will definitely return here without hesitation.

Had an amazing time at the property - our teens and us loved the location, the outdoor space, the house itself, the beautiful views. It was a fantastic home base to explore the North Shore with its countless beautiful beaches and amazing food trucks. The chicken and cats only added to the experience!

The property was clean, easy to find and having amenities available. The beach was easy to access via stairs down to the ocean with amazing views from the property.

We had a wonderful stay in HI. This was a great location, not far from popular destinations (and a grocery store) but still private and quiet. The entrance can be tricky to spot, so I might recommend more signage. The home was very clean and stocked with essentials to get us through the first day or so. Communication with the property manager was helpful and efficient. It was great having our own access to the beach. Note, the washer/dryer are located outside which was unusual for us. They worked just fine but we had an initial concern as the units were rusted on the outside. However, we understand the space limitations inside and were grateful to be able to do laundry as we were there for a week! Would recommend this location to anyone.

The house could definitely use some TLC. The shower needs a deep cleaning and the windows should honestly be replaced as they have tape holding them together. They should also note there is a window above the shower that is always open so the house is definitely not sound proof. Overall a good stay had easy communication with property management. Loved having the lawn chairs and beach chair option.Great location on the north shore!

This is the perfect spot. Our young family had the best time! The accommodations were comfortable and spacious. Highlights being the unbelievable view from the shaded front patio for lounging/wale watching, beach access to the tide pools, and easy travel to local activities in Hale’iwa and Kahuku.

We stayed at Kawela Kai beach house for a week from 1-15-25 and were very pleased with the house. It was clean and everything that we had expected. Sarah was great in fulfilling a couple of requests we had and followed up with them promptly. The location was ideal for us being close to the area shrimp trucks and points of interest. If we return to the North Shore we hope this house will be available.

We had a lovely stay in this little rental home. The property was spotless, quiet, and in a great location. Very private, but close to grocery stores and restaurants. We loved sitting on the lovely covered deck, watching the sunset and the waves rolling in. We arrived after dark on the first night of our stay and had a very difficult time finding the property because the address isn't easy to see from the highway, so better directions for new arrivals would be helpful. We will definitely make plans to reserve this cottage for future trips.

Felt relaxed and right at home in the North Shore Cottage only a few minutes drive from Kahuku in one direction and Pupukea and Sharks Cove in the other. Hale’iwa was only 20min- half hour drive away depending on traffic. Turtle Bay and the hikes, beaches, beach and pool bar, that it offers is right around the corner. Don’t miss out on this hidden gem if u like remote feeling of yourself on a beach go to Kawela Bay (Small waves even in November- good for families) and there was a great remote hike out to the pillbox and to the Kahuku point… all in the Turtle Bay grounds. I can’t forget that sunset beach, banzai pipeline and Ted’s Bakery are also a short drive away.
The cottage was well equipped, two beach chairs and snorkel gear and body boards. There were beach towels, outdoor laundry worked very well. Air conditioners were in the place but the fans in every room and the ocean breeze through the windows kept the place cool. Beds were comfy and we slept well. We also had a rooster (Rocky) chickens, two feral cats (Ernie and Bert) that visited daily. Loved the porch for viewing the ocean in the hot sun or rain. The kitchen, flooring and overall upkeep was good, the place was clean on arrival. Landscapers come midweek for the grounds.
Lots of food truck and shopping options in Kahuku, including Giovanni’s… don’t miss out on the Paniolo at Seven Brothers. Take advantage of the beer garden when u order your food Seven Brothers will walk it over to u there.

Absolutely loved the house and location on the beach. Only suggestion is lighting at turn in to the property. Difficult to find in the dark. Otherwise, we loved it!

Our family had a wonderful stay at Kawela Kai and cannot recommend it enough. This is one of the few remaining properties you can find to rent for less than a month outside the tourist hot spots of Waikiki and Turtle Bay, and what a find it is! The property is beautiful, just far enough from the road to eliminate noise and right on a small but beautiful stretch of sandy beach. The backyard is nicely landscaped and equipped with lounge chairs to take in the view, while the large back porch has a table to enjoy meals outside. The building itself is old but well maintained, and the interior is nicely appointed and clean. It has what appear to be brand new appliances in the well stocked kitchen, AC throughout, and a good security system. The location can't be beat; right on the North Shore, less than 15min to Waimea and good snorkeling beaches to the west and the Polynesian Cultural Center and gorgeous Windward shore to the east. In short, if the idea of staying in a cookie cutter condo in Waikiki does not appeal, this is the place for you!

Everything about this spot was a dream. It felt like being at home but in paradise. We hope to come back💞 Our fav thing to do was bbq and watch the sunset from the back yard. Amazing food and snorkeling nearby as well as fun shopping a few miles down the way 10/10
