This was my family’s second visit to Mark’s house on the North Shore of Oahu. Wonderful house with a huge lanai overlooking beach and ocean. Just a few steps from house down to a very private, secluded beach. House is clean and comfortable. Mark (and constant companion dog Snoopy) were there to welcome us when we arrived and checked in with us daily to see if we had any needs. We had a wonderful 10 day vacation amongst the best surfing beaches in the world. Best vacation rental in Hawaii I have ever stayed in and we hope to be back next year!

We loved our week at Kawela Kai. The location has to be seen to be believed. Absolutely incredible. The house has everything you need for a family and the kitchen is well equipped. Mark was an amazing host and we really enjoyed talking with him and learning about the history of the area and his adventures. We can't wait to come back.

My husband and I traveled to the North Shore from the San Juan Islands in Washington state with our daughter and my sister. We are both having serious health issues and needed their help to be able to vacation. We loved the view, smell and sound of the ocean whether sitting on the deck, on the lawn or on the beach. The ocean is accessible when surf is down and tide low with a wonderful pool to swim in. The house is stocked with anything you could possibly need but we brought a lot of meals home to eat in our beautiful setting. The location is ideal between Turtle Bay, Kuhuku and Laie for good eats or Sunset and Haleiwa. We went both directions for plate lunches, shrimp, burgers, and shave ice. There are also a Foodland and Longs both directions. Mark and Nancy are welcoming, accessible, and a wealth of history on island living. We will gladly stay here again!

The property was just as advertised. Clean, well stocked with essentials and items for the beach and in a wonderful location. The host was friendly and helpful, I would definitely book again.

Quaint bungalow right on the beach. Excellent location! Although it was big wave season (February), we were able to plunge directly in front of the property, and Kawela Bay was a 10 min walk away for swimming and hiking. A short drive to the big wave surfing beaches. Amazing sunsets and whale sightings right from the lanai. Communication was great. Mark and Snoopy were wonderful hosts!

Met up with friends to enjoy the North Shore. The property was located off the highway and on the beach. We spent time chilling on the lanai watching waves, sunrises, sunsets, walks on the beach. Good location for short road trips, close to Waimea Bay and Pipe Line where we watched surf competitions. Also close to restaurants and Polynesian Cultural Center. The house, property, and location was perfect for our North Shore experience. As far as hosts go, Mark and Nancy are the best.

We loved staying at Kawela Kai. The beach, views, ocean swimming were all within 30 steps of the lanai (gorgeous deck). All our everyday stresses were removed from our souls. Mark and Snoopy were very friendly. Loved the stay. theknowledgeable

This place is a gem. It has everything you need while remaining simplistic. We had kids, surfers, porchers, and even some that had to get some work done during the stay - and everyone loved the house! It is close to all the hotspots of the northshore, but feels extremely private. The owners were accessible during our stay and they couldn’t be more kind and helpful with any questions we had. It is a hard place to have to leave!

This was our second time staying here and won’t be our last. The location can’t be beat…steps away from the beach. Sitting on the patio watching the waves everyday was just magical. The house is wonderful and has everything you might need. Our hosts, Mark, Nancy and Snoopy are absolute gems. They felt like family to us! Already planning for next year!

This house is our favorite place to hang and chill on the north shore. The location is unbelievable just a few short steps from the beach. There is a wonderful swimming hole right in front of the house. The porch is a great place from waking up in the morning with coffee to watching the sunset with mai tais.
Mark, Nancy, and Snoopy are the perfect hosts. They always responded quickly to any request. We can't imagine having a better experience. We look forward to returning - it'll be our third time at this great property.
Thank you for giving us so much.

We loved the house and location on the north shore! So relaxing watching the tea turtles feed and play every day right in front of the house in the protected area. Snorkeling there was beautiful when conditions allow. Watched some of the most beautiful and vivid rainbows and sunsets we’ve ever seen. Mark and his wife were great and accessible hosts. And of course we loved Snoopy!

Great stay! Mark and snoopy’s place is great on the north shore. He has great communication with you during your stay. He added positively to our entire experience in Oahu. He gave us recommendations of where to eat etc. He was spot on. Loved the bike trails near the home.
The home you are staying at is only the top floor. You do need to walk up stairs to get into the home. There are 2 private bedrooms with a 3rd room able to be sanction off with a heavy curtain. The main bedroom is King and has an attached bathroom with tub and shower. The 2nd bedroom has a Queen and the bathroom is across the haul from the bedroom. The washer and dryer are in this bathroom. The 3rd bedroom opens into the living room if you do not have the heavy curtain shut.
The kitchen has everything you would ever need.
You are staying here for the views. It does need a coat of paint and could be a little cleaner but again, you are staying because you are directly on the beach. This is such a nice area. We would 100% stay here again.

We can not say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay. Mark, Nancy and Snoopy made our trip even better. We felt the Aloha spirit every second we stayed, Our adult kids loved it, we loved the access to the beach and we were close to restaurants and shopping. Sunsets were our favorite time. But we are incredibly grateful for the warm hospitality and we plan on coming back very soon! Mahalo Mark!
