This beach house was such a treat. Being oceanfront with the sand, only a few steps away, whale watching every morning while drinking coffee, and the grass area for playing ball and sunny lounge chairs made it an extra wonderful. Be sure to bring your headlamps for night time tide pool exploring, we saw an eel! Thank you for the wonderful retreat. WE WILL BE BACK!

LOCATION: Amazing! You can't beat the location. True beachfront. It's on a quieter stretch of the main highway, but close to the busy Sunset Beach/Waimea area. Other reviewers mentioned traffic noise, but we weren't bothered. Stunning views, especially at sunrise and sunset. At night we enjoyed listening to the crashing waves. There is a nice stretch of sand for relaxing and beachcombing. As other reviewers noted, the area immediately in front of the stairs is not ideal for swimming due to rocks, but there are several nearby swimming areas. MANAGEMENT: By coincidence, the owners were vacationing on the property for the majority of our stay. They were welcoming and kind. The management company was friendly and quick to respond to any questions. Guest manual was full of helpful information. HOME: Perfect set-up for our family of 4. Clean and organized. Comfortable beds and well-equipped kitchen. HUGE covered deck. Extra towels & linens. Beach chairs, beach towels, and gear provided. Outdoor shower was nice. It was a bonus having a washer & dryer and extra fridge. TIP: As mentioned above, there are three other larger rental homes on the property - great if you're vacationing with multiple families or hosting an event. However, if you are a solo renter and craving a quieter experience, you may want to check if the other houses are booked by one group. On our final night, a large party rented out the other houses and kind of took over the whole property.

The location was great, view priceless, service was amazing. Only thing is the furniture could be updated to more comfortable seating. I will stay again. Memories made

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great experience from start to finish. The property manager was great and helpful. The home was clean and well maintained. The view and location of the home are hard to beat. Especially the little tide pool right in front which is great for kids. Highly recommend.

The house is definitely older—probably from the 1940s, and in need of some TLC. Would be nice to have had some basic toiletries, laundry soap, scissors. Did have plenty of towels for the beach and even 2 chairs which is nice. Outside area is beautiful and right on the beach. I would definitely recommend it for a stay. Can also rent the houses next door if you have a big group and the yards connect. Close to Foodland, Ken’s Fish, food trucks. Also close to Turtle bay which my kids enjoyed because the beach is calmer there.

We loved our stay!

found the nearby highway loud all hours of day and night; especially, when the in-room A/C unit is off. It is best to leave on for white noise. Living area: We found the wicker furniture uncomfortable and stained. We used the wi-fi without issues and with speeds to allow our Apple TV to stream movies and sports. The standing lamp in the corner to light the room has an electrical short. Bathroom: We were disappointed that there was no shampoo or soap for use in the bathroom. We found the shower curtain stained pink with mold. We found and used many new body and beach towels, but no step cloth when exiting the stained shower. Outdoors: We enjoyed the covered deck. We experienced crowing rosters, barking dogs, and crying feral cats. The annoying feral cats overran the outside patio's deck begging for food to the point we discontinued eating outside because the cats insisted on being on our laps and tabletop. We were disappointed to learn the washer and dryer is shared with others on property and found our laundry placed in the outside sink and wet from rain. We were surprised our lawn furniture was used when we were away.

Perfect

We had a wonderful time and I will stay here again when I revisit the North Shore.

Loved the location and beach front property. AC units were so nice to have. Communication with owners was wonderful and helpful! It was a perfect little vacation home. Would stay there again!

Cannot wait to return. This was the ultimate north shore, serene escape for us. Some highlights that made this a comfortable rental for 5+ days - RIGHT on the beach. It is rocky but perfect for small children to explore tide pools. 5 min walk on beach to a swimming/sandy area. We planned to explore north shore a lot more but the property was so great with beach access we barely left the place! Nice spacious kitchen, well stocked. Wine fridge! Great indoor and outdoor showers. Effective air conditioners in each bedroom. Comfortable beds. Lots of storage areas. Washer/dryer. easy parking in front of the home. You will be right beside 3 other rentals - safety/comfort in numbers but there are dense bushes lining each home for privacy if you're not feeling social. The resident rooster will wake you up at 4, 5 and 6 am but thats fine because you can head to Ted's bakery (5 min drive) to get the freshest pastries/breakfast each morning.

We came here for our kid's spring break and of all the places we've ever stayed (hotel and house rental), this is our favorite one by far. The dream landscape of having an oceanfront home in the beautiful North Shore, basically your own private beach and only being minutes from anywhere you'd want to go in the North Shore has it meeting every checkbox we could imagine. The privacy from the neighbors was also great. Thank you so much for sharing your home. We will absolutely be back and have recommended it to anyone who asks :)

This was an amazing stay. The communication with the real estate company was great as was the experience of living on this beachfront property. The place was clean and comfortable and we will definitely be recommending it to everyone.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice location, beautiful views, loved the covered deck, the outside shower was very handy. For our needs the furniture was adequate, but if we were at the property for longer periods of time, more comfortable furniture would have been appreciated. We did struggle with finding the entrance to the property, especially at night, so a marker of some sort would have come in handy. The check in/out process instructions were very clear and easy to follow, we only set the alarm off once. :-) We loved the chickens and the kittens, but the sun rose multiple times each morning for the roosters. We would definitely stay here again as well as recommend it to others.

Awesome stay at our Kawela Kai unit. The home was the perfect size for our family of 3. The view was spectacular. Location was steps away from the beach, with a nice large deck to enjoy our meals at and loungers on the grassy area. There was one bedroom with a double sized bed and a second bedroom with 2 twin beds. My husband and I are both tall and larger so our daughter got the double bed and we took the room with the twin beds. The bathroom was a decent size with a convenient vanity and stool opposite the sink. Kitchen was the perfect size and had a full sized refrigerator and stove. The couch was a little uncomfortable and a second cushioned chair would have been nice, but that was a minor issue. The home had plenty of towels and beach towels and some beach chairs and foam floaties. The unit also had AC units in each bedroom and the dining/living room area that were all highly efficient and cooled the rooms super fast. However, the weather was so nice and the bedroom ceiling fans were effective in keeping the temperature in the rooms very comfortable. We originally considered one of the larger units for the second bathroom, but we didn’t need it. There was an outdoor shower that was great to wash off all the sand. In our 15 or so trips to the islands, this was hands down the best location and our favorite accommodations we watched whales from the deck, beautiful sunsets and even rainbows. Simply spectacular.

We loved our little bungalow on the ocean and were sad to leave. Perfect for a family of four and had everything we needed for a pleasurable stay. We especially enjoyed whale watching from the lanai where we saw tons of activity and even a few whales breaching off in the distance. This place is a gem. Thank you!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: As below we were satisfied with our stay--great location, clean, did have basic spice condiments. Nice updated kitchen and openable window. Covered lanai is great for shade after too much sun. WiFi works well. We definitely will recommend to others.A few general condition comments: Other windows do not work well or open. Sliding patio door locks only by putting the stick in the track. Seems incongruous for a place that has an alarm system. No drape or curtain or shade on sliding glass door. Need brighter lighting in bath. One sofa type piece of furniture that is not very comfortable.

Great location

We loved this house, area and overall experience. The beach below has little swimming spots if you walk about 500 feet. We felt at home and would come back! We were sad to leave.

We had a wonderful week at the beachside cottage. Very clean and welcoming. Well stocked with kitchen utensils. Comfortable beds. Didn’t need the AC due to cool night breezes. Previous renters left salt, pepper and olive oil which we gratefully used. Worked perfectly for 4 adults. Not a swimming beach but we loved easy access by stairs to beach level and wading in 2 foot deep pool at high tide. Friendly housekeepers at vacated cottage next door were a delight and offered many helpful tips of places to see, eat and enjoy. Loved those ladies! We would definitely come here again! Mahalo!

We loved the location. Quietness. Closeness to Haleiwa, shopping, surfing, & the best food trucks. View from the porch for Sunset was amazing!! Had all the amenities we needed.

I would do it again!

Wonderful!

All in all we would definitely come back.

Beds were comfortable, home was clean and just as pictured. Location is absolutely perfect! Our only complaint is shortage of amenities supplied. Very little toilet paper (2 rolls), less than a roll of paper towels, and only 3 wash clothes were supplied for 4 people for a 7 night stay. Even a bar of soap would have been easy to supply. I strongly feel these simple ammenities being supplied would make the experience perfect. Thank you!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Second stay there. The views are amazing. The furniture inside the cottage could use a bit of an upgrade. The couch is not too comfortable in the living room. Also a year ago during our fist stay we noticed the bedroom closet door is broken and wobbly. We had put our daughter's crib right in front of the closet but we had to move it from there when we noticed this since we didn't think it is safe. During our second visit the door was still broken. Fans are old and noisy especially in the second bedroom. Living room AC didn't work. Kitchen supplies are not good quality, especially the forks, knifes and spoons. Never had such a poor silverware in a vacation rental. Overall great place for the views and location but I wish they did better upgrades inside. For the price we pay we would expect more. Thanks!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Found this online because I wanted to stay at the North Shore and knew where it was location wise. My wife and I loved it! House was clean when we arrived and had everything we would need for our stay. The view is great, beds are comfy, and has just enough to enjoy your stay. We don't mind driving, but if you are looking to stay put, there is more than enough to do at the North Shore. The whole process, from deposit to leaving was the easiest experience you could have. Will stay again and am looking forward to it!
