Surfing, diving, hiking, biking, shell collecting, sunbathing, playing music is our way of life here. Have the best reprieve from your normal routine you can imagine.

Truly a 5-star experience that will make you want to come back again & again. This is the part of Oahu that feels like the neighbor Islands but only about 45 minutes to Waikiki & Diamond Head, (non-commute time drive) for a taste of the fast Honolulu city life. 30 minutes to the airport outside of rush hour. New split A/C units in the living room and bedroom keep the house cool & quiet if needed. Powered by the sun! (photovoltaic panels provide electricity)
30-day rental. Maximum of 4 guests. With just one full bathroom, our unit is best suited for 2 adults with fold out bed for children. Could be a bit awkward for adult couples. There is an outside hot water shower in the garden area.
Mahalo!

We loved our time here! The apartment is very spacious, bright, and clean. It is very well equipped (kitchen, bath, beach towels, etc.). There was nothing that we missed during our month-long stay. The proximity to the beach and Laniakea is unbeatable. During beach walks one can often see turtles and monk seals.Overall, I cannot rate this place highly enough and I hope we will be able to rteurn soon.

We walked into our beautiful rental to see a gorgeous bouquet on the table, 2 tickets to Waimea Park and a bottle of wine. James and Mollye could not have been more friendly, available and kind! The apartment is so comfortable, clean and beautifully remodeled, with so much thought to detail. The location is perfect on the North Shore and so close to the beach, with a private entrance to the ocean. We would highly recommend Honu Hale as an excellent choice! We will definitely be back!

Cannot say enough good things about the kindness and hospitality of our hosts and the beautiful, light and open space and all the appointments of the property. The location is just steps from a beautiful private beach that stretches for miles, and it's convenient to both Pupukea and Haleiwa. Add to that A/C and parking and you really can't ask for anything more...5-star experience!

This little Apartment is above the garage on the owners property directly next to their main home. They were absolutely wonderful and kind. They brought us fresh flowers and fresh fish to enjoy and they were always outside and close by to answer any questions we had. The Beach is a short walk from the apartment and we enjoyed our time at the beach even though the waves were extremely rough during our stay. Parking was a bit confusing, so make sure you get specific directions before parking near the property incorrectly. The owners went above and beyond to make sure we had a comfortable stay. Thank you for sharing your property with us! We appreciate your hospitality and kindness! Highly recommend!
