HOUSE & PROPERTY DETAILS:

WELCOME to your comfortable, peaceful retreat in Paradise! Beauty surrounds you. The view from the living room itself is marvelous: beautiful Ocean waves and grassy Lawn, Hawaiian coconut trees with blue sky and white clouds. You can sit and look at it all day!

LOCATION - This becomes Your Beach House where you may experience the famed North Shore of O'ahu, home to spectacular winter waves and laid-back beach relaxation in "the country."

This home in the Mokulē'ia neighborhood, of coastal life and inland farming and hills to explore, and is in the district of Waialua, with the nearby towns of Waialua (historic sugar mill town) and Haleiwa (famed surf town).

HOUSE:

THREE BEDROOMS:
1) Main floor Bedroom CALIF. KING bed, with windows, split-system AC (to cool this bedroom only), closet, luggage holders, bedside tables & lamps, and dresser, lawn-ocean view & door to lawn.
2) & 3) Two Upstairs Small Bedrooms with BUNK BEDS - originally a large room, now has two smaller Bedrooms. Each bedroom has one set of twin BUNK beds, individual sliding doors for privacy, a large window, with curtains, a bedside table & lamp, plus individual split-system AC units (to close up and cool the individual bedroom only). Original part of the house with vintage details.

*EXTRA* - there is a QUEEN bed in open-plan main floor Living Room (living Hawaiian/family style). (There is no AC available; use open windows and ceiling & standing fans, as this classic beach house was originally designed to enjoy the open-air of Hawaii's trade winds).

TWO BATHROOMS:
1) Main floor 4 pc. full bath, with a separate bathtub, handy handholds and towel storage
2) Upstairs 3 pc. bathroom, large shower with two shower heads and shower light. Original part of the house with vintage details.

LIVING-DINING OPEN PLAN
- large picture-window OCEAN view, plus all the benefits of a regular home
- large combined living room/dining room, lots of seating, including a comfortable rocker-recliner, tables and lamps, plus Queen bed
- ceiling fans and lights, with standing and table lamps, provide both good 3-way, and more subtle mood, lighting. Plenty of electrical outlets in the house.
- there is a "smart" TV, with premium cable, incl. HBO and Showtime, DVD player & CD player (with Hawaiian CDs)
- the room has an airy security screen door, plus many windows, for open-air movement thru the house, with Hawaii's trade winds

KITCHEN
Average kitchen size of the time, double-hung windows, with vintage glass shelves, covered cupboards, security screen door, recent stove, fridge, sink -- plus double views from the kitchen, a sink mountain-view, plus view thru the house to see the lawn-ocean. Reverse-osmosis water filter. Plenty of pots, pans, dishes, utensils, glassware etc.

STORAGE SHED: with washer & dryer, kids & adult beach toys, beach coolers
COVERED OPEN LANAI: with two picnic tables, charcoal grill, beach chairs, twinkle lights

SPACIOUS - There is plenty of space in the combination living-dining room to accommodate your loved ones, eating together family-style at the big table, for playing puzzles/games, working on a computer, while others talk about the day's swim/beach walk/adventures, or just looking out at the beautiful view.

BEACH - Just walk out the door, thru the large covered lanai, with the picnic tables, and you will be on your grassy lawn (big enough for Croquet or Badminton), large shade trees, surrounded by native Hawaiian plantings, and the gently sloping seashore is in front of you.

VIEW - From the lawn, now look down the sandy beach, see the ocean's waves - plus - the coastline and mountain views. Beautiful! Lay down and sunbathe, either on the tree-shaded grass or natural beach, and let go in the warmth of the day, listening to the waves lapping on the shore. Or sit in a chair and just be mesmerized by the ocean's beauty. You may even relax on the lawn, with wi-fi, and be able to work remotely, looking at this beautiful view. Stay long enough and you will see the turtles! (and maybe the humpback whales during winter).

SWIM/SNORKEL - After taking a refreshing swim or snorkel in the warm and safe ocean, return to your home, enter either bathroom's shower from its outside door, enjoy your hot shower, and step directly from the shower into the bathroom to get dressed.

KITCHEN - Stay casual and prepare dinner in the full kitchen. The kitchen has a pass-through to the dining/living room - easy for communicating and also from which to enjoy the picture window ocean view. You could even go out to the lanai and grill your own fish or teriyaki steak or fresh vegetables on the Weber charcoal grill. Eat outside at the double picnic tables or in at the big family-sized dining table - your choice!

BEDROOMS - Three bedrooms (plus living room queen) will accommodate up to eight people. EACH bedroom now has its own installed split-system air conditioner, with individual remote, for use while in the closed bedroom.

1st Floor - Main floor primary bedroom (with a spacious Calif. King bed) and windows providing a beautiful lawn & ocean view (and sounds of the waves!);
2nd - Second floor bedrooms each have one set of stationary twin bunk beds, each in its own small private bedroom area, in the partially-divided upstairs larger room.

Another GREAT place to sleep is on the Queen bed in the living room (used both to sleep and as a relaxation area, a Hawaiian daybed, the 'pune'e' for those in the know). This comfortable bed has the advantage of a picture window lawn/ocean view when you wake up, fresh air from the many windows, and many fans, and soothing ocean sounds at night.

Two bathrooms make this a comfortable retreat for a family or friends to enjoy.

VINTAGE BEACH HOUSE - The house is an ORIGINAL, vintage, roomy, Hawaiian style, classic board and batten, unique beach house, built circa 1920s-1940s. My grandparents said it first started life as a fishing shack! In this house we enjoy Hawaii's trade winds, with open windows, & six ceiling fans that cool the house, with extra standing fans too. Our beach home was built to have a bedroom for the parents and a bedroom for the kids, so we added the extra queen bed in the living room for those who enjoy Hawaiian-style informal, casual, beach-side living. This Hawaiian beach house has been well-used and well-loved within this family since the 1930s! Many improvements have been made over the years, and especially the past five years. And we would like to share it with you now.

CONVENIENT - The nearby towns of Waialua and Haleiwa are just five and ten minutes away, respectively, with many restaurants, shops and attractions available! The beautiful North Shore coast stretches out in either direction.

~ Great restaurants and weekly farmer's markets
~ Variety of shops and interesting things to see & do (like fishing or a surf class)
~ Attractions - nearby Haleiwa Harbor, Waimea Bay park, falls & lu'au, hikes and walks, golf courses, other beautiful beaches, the Polynesian Cultural Center, easy access to Pearl Harbor and Honolulu.

PEACEFUL - When you stay here, in the quiet of the night, go outside, look up at the star-filled sky, and notice how peaceful it is. It is QUIET. Listen to the waves, they will lull you to sleep in your clean and cozy beds - all is well with the world, and in the morning you will happily greet another beautiful day!
