About this property

Hale Pono- Oceanfront, private, gated, great views, AC, large property

Welcome to Hale Pono!
The North Shore of Oahu’s premier luxury getaway.

Please message me with any questions about available bookings.

This hidden, elegant beauty sits on pristine property within the exclusive, gated community of the Sunset Beach Colony. Surround yourself with the beautiful foliage of Hawaii as you gaze across the lawn and onto a gorgeous and often empty white sand beach. Relax and leave your stress behind.

This 5000 square foot home is an architectural masterpiece with an open floor plan that features large windows on all sides allowing the cool tropical breezes to flow while also creating vistas that go for miles out over the blue Pacific Ocean. You will be rocked to sleep each night with the soothing sound of waves crashing in the distance. This home is also very private with it’s own automatic gate, a large driveway and rock wall separating it from the neighboring properties.

The modern design mingles traditional Hawaiian materials such as rich teak, bamboo and lava rock with an open floor plan that’s ready to entertain. The home is tastefully furnished with comfort and ease of use in mind but also with all of the modern necessities including, flat screen TVs throughout, Wi-Fi, and a full laundry facility. The kitchen is fully equipped to create your own meals and includes a BBQ immediately adjacent the kitchen. The home is also fully air-conditioned should the need arise.

The sleeping arrangements include:

The Master Suite encompasses the entire upper floor and includes a king bed, a sitting area and a large bathroom with custom stone tub, his and her sinks and a make up sitting area. A full width private balcony is accessed via large sliding glass doors, which opens the entire room to infinity views of the ocean. There is also a large walk-in closet and a small office area.

The Downstairs Master also includes a king bed as well as a private bathroom and a pull out couch for additional sleeping arrangements.

Bedrooms #1 and #2 both include queen beds and private ensuite bathrooms and showers

All downstairs bedrooms include private balconies.


Although away from the hustle of Waikiki, there are many local amenities to make sure all your needs are attainable. From Ted’s Bakery, which serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, and is just steps from the home, to the famous Turtle Bay resort which is only 10 minutes by car to the north. The hotel welcomes day visitors to their various restaurants, pools, beaches and other amenities that include two championship golf courses.

A full service market is 10 minutes to the south and the charming town of Haleiwa is just another 15 minutes down Kam Hwy and features many restaurants and quaint shops to spend a day exploring. Should the desire to visit the Honolulu area arise, it’s a quick 45-minute drive to the world famous hotels, museums, and other cultural places of interest.


Additional property notes:

A full time caretaker resides on the property in a separate apartment over the garage to greet you and make sure your stay is memorable and worry free.

Wedding and parties over 12 people are not permitted

A fraudulent Craig’s List ad sometimes appears featuring photos from this property. Please do not be fooled. There is only one Hale Pono.

12 Days In Paradise!

This home will not disappoint you! It looks exactly like the pictures, furniture was clean, beds were very comfy, the kitchen had everything you need and there were plenty of spices and staple items in the pantry. The home is very spacious, the outdoor lanais are beautiful as is the view of the ocean. There is no AC in the common areas of the home, but the trade winds kick in and make for a very pleasant tropical afternoon. We had the entire second floor as our bedroom and had the windows and doors open all night with the sound of the waves lulling us to sleep. Preston is the caretaker, he met us on arrival, then only saw him 2 other times as we were on our way out for the afternoon, he is very pleasant! Truly a beautiful place!

Paradise Found

This property is even more beautiful than the photos show. The master bedroom is beyond anything I’ve ever stayed in before. Spectator views of the ocean. Every room has great views of the garden. The place is well equipped for a family holiday and perfectly maintained. Preston lives on site and was extremely helpful if we needed anything but otherwise we didn’t see him. I would certainly return again. We have spent every Christmas on the north shore for twenty and this is the most magnificent home we have seen there. The position is perfect.

Paradise

My family of 6 came to stay here May 14 thru the 24. We had an amazing time. The house is beautiful and had enough space for all of us. The kitchen was well stocked as we cooked a lot of our meals in. The beach was amazing and the sunsets were beautiful. We were truly sad to leave. The host Preston helped with everything including finding a wheelchair for my husband when ours broke and even a new TV when one went out. Overall I would recommend staying here 10+ over 10!

The perfect spot

We spent 10 days here before and after our wedding. The place was absolutely amazing and allowed for us to have a great time with friends and enjoy everything the north shore has to offer. Preston was very helpful and quick to get back to us. The amenities are great and the house was spotless. Thank you so much for helping us make memories that we will never forget!

Beautiful stay on North Shore

We had 8 people and 3 generations celebrating our 45th wedding anniversary at Hale Pono in early August. Making the reservation was easy, communication was clear, timely and informative, The onsite manager, Alix, was able to grant us an early check in which was very appreciated after a long travel day. The gated property is private, lush and has amazing ocean views with easy access. The house is spacious and public areas are elegant, The bedroom en suites are perfect and the kitchen was well equipped as we did cook in most nights. We would not hesitate to recommend this property to our friends. It was a peaceful retreat at the end of each busy day.

Incredible!!

We had an unbelievable stay at Hale Pono! Absolutely one of the best spots and homes on the North Shore. The home was perfect for our family of seven, everyone had a comfortable bed and room to spread out and relax. Air conditioned rooms were wonderful! Kitchen and family area was perfect for mornings and evenings and the home together, and I cannot say enough about the heavenly owners suite upstairs! The absolute best part of Hale Pono are the views, hearing the waves right outside your windows, and the access to the beach. So easy to get the kids down to the beach and then back up and showered in the fun outdoor shower!! I will miss my morning drink in the porch listening to the waves!! Thank you for sharing such an incredible place with our family!

Birthday family celebration

My family arrived to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday and our daughter's 30th birthday. We were blown away from the minute we walked in! The house and the view was spectacular. Alix happily greeted us and was so kind to leave a wonderful carrot cake from Ted's Bakery for the birthday celebrations! The house was extremely comfortable and spacious for the 4 couples and everyone loved it's warmth and beauty. The big couch was a favorite amongst us all!!! So comfortable. We were all sad to leave after 10 days in this paradise. We feel blessed to have been all together and to have had such a wonderful experience. We look forward to returning again one day!

North Shore Gem!

We spent a wonderful week at Hale Pono on the North Shore. The house was spacious for 4 couples with all the amenities one could need during their stay. Having a beach right in the back yard is amazing! Alix, the property manager, was amazing throughout the whole experience. She has a residence in the garage apartment on the property but was not intrusive on our family vacation at all. She was very responsive whenever we had questions arise during our stay. Would highly recommend staying here if you want to stay on the North Shore. Haleiwa is only a 15 minute drive away, as is Turtle Bay Resort. Sunset Beach and Shark's Cove is also just down the road. Ted's Bakery is less than a 10 minute walk from the Hale Pono (get their chocolate haupia cream pie!). The views from the upstairs master suite are incredible, and the sounds of the waves on the shore and the view of the ocean create a serene environment to enjoy your morning coffee on the lanai.

Hawaii Perfection

We just returned from Hale Pono. The location was exactly what we were looking for along the North Shore. It was private and quiet, our own piece of paradise for a week. The accommodations were wonderful, and the home well equipped. Alix was welcoming, then left us alone to enjoy each other’s company. We were there with our entire family to celebrate our birthdays and our 35th wedding anniversary. Thank you, Elyse, for sharing your incredible home. We hope to be back one day.

Great Home in a Great Location

We had four adults and four children (7/6/6/2.5 years), so we needed a larger home. This stood out to us on VRBO as one of the best options in the area, and when we arrived, it was exactly as advertised. The master bedrooms are gigantic and the upstairs bedroom has an incredible balcony with a view of the water. The new air conditioning units in each bedroom made it far more comfortable than it otherwise would have been for sleeping. That's a great upgrade. The kitchen is well-equipped (I wanted to steal the electric kettle), and the open concept with the living and dining room makes it great for families to keep an eye on kids. Outside, the lawn was great for the kids, and the beach beyond is perfect. We were there in summer, so the waves were small. There are some rocky areas in the water, but it's easy to avoid them. We couldn't get the kids out of the water. There is a creek on the side of the house that, at least when we were there, didn't flow into the ocean but just pooled short of it. It did act as a great place for the kids to explore. There were tadpoles all over, and a mother with her little ducklings grew up in front of our eyes. It was like having our own pet ducks since they would come up to us every time they saw us, undoubtedly begging for food. The location is great for access to Turtle Bay's beaches and restaurants (10 minutes), La'ie is only 10 minutes further (careful, it's a dry town), and Foodland Pupukea is just 10 minutes the other way. Waimea Falls is right beyond that. Unfortunately, traffic from that point on to Hale'iwa is pretty awful in the afternoons, so if you plan on doing a lot of driving longer distances, get ready to sit for a long time and get frustrated. But for those looking to stay local and take advantage of the north shore, this house is an excellent choice.

Unforgettable family vacation

Our family just returned from an unforgettable week at Hale Pono. Elyse, we had such an incredible time in your home! We were celebrating my Mom's 80th birthday and she was thrilled; said it was exactly what she and my Dad wanted for our family vacation. We could not have asked for a more beautiful location. The views were amazing and it was so perfect to be able to just walk down to the beach and snorkel every day. We loved sitting on the lanai so much that we ate dinner at home every night and watched the beautiful sunsets. There were 9 of us and there was plenty of room for everyone. My daughter loved the outdoor shower so much that she used it every single day! Even though we loved our spot, we did get out and explore Shark’s cove for snorkeling and made our way into Haleiwa for shaved ice. We also made sure to walk over to Ted’s Bakery for some yummy pie! A big thank you to Alix for greeting us and making sure we were all set. Thank you so much for making our trip such a memorable experience. We truly hope to make it back again! Mahalo.

Quiet beach house

This home is located in a gated community just on the edge of Sunset beach. It has the best beach entry for swimmers. There is a wash out next to the property were people walk through to access the beach. This was not a problem as everyone was either a local or were coming to enjoy the beach. On a busy day there was maybe 12 people. The home has nice views and a large sloping lawn to enter the beach. Alix is the caretaker who lives over the detached with her daughter and is more than helpful and pleasant. We only saw her once during our stay so don't worry about your privacy. The home is equipped with the standards that you would expect. There is alot of condiments left from others, so that you won't need to purchase too many necessities. It was very clean and we appreciated having A/C units in each of the bedrooms. I can highly recommend this property.

Very beautiful, and beach is almost private!

Everything was wonderful. A couple mintor issues were taken care of immediately by Alix, the property manager. We can't say enough about her warm welcome even though we arrived very late due to a canceled flight. She was so sweet in leaving us some food so we didn't have to go to bed hungry! The space was perfect for our family of 8, ages 4-64. We will definitely stay at Hale Pono again if we return to that area!

Couldn't be better

I'll make this short and sweet: look no further. From fantastic location to loaded amenities to a well-kept, private, beautiful home -- this place has it all. A dream house in a dream location. Only thing I'd add as a tip for people with children -- check out Turtle Beach. It's less than 10 minutes away and the difference in terms of "swimmable" water is night and day.

Why they chose this property

There is not a more beautiful, spacious, house on the North Shore. Each bedroom is totally private with its own full bath, and the living places are open and have fabulous views of the ocean and the garden, and can accommodate the whole group. The lanai with views of the ocean and garden is heaven to dine in or just have cocktails and watch the sun set. In addition we have a large h/c outdoor shower which perfectly reflects our idea of barefoot luxury. We encourage you to read all the reviews that our guests have left. We have lots and lots of repeat guests which is a testament to the love people have for this place. Hale Pono makes you feel as if you're in the most exclusive luxury hideaway in the world while at the same time exuding authentic Hawaiian island style, flair, spirit and tranquility of Aloha.

What makes this property unique

Total privacy and seclusion, gated house in a gated community. Spirit of aloha the minute you see the Buddha and the entire wall of sliding glass with a view of the ocean, the garden, and the beach! Paradise!
Giant master bedroom with large bathroom including a double vanity, large shower, completely private on the entire second floor. Sliding doors to the large balcony with fabulous views of the ocean and Velzyland! Sleep with the windows open and hear the soothing ocean at night and the birds cooing in the morning, or shut yourself in a cocoon with the air conditioning on.
Very large garden front and back for children to run around in safely with gates closed.
Great enclosed outdoor shower with hot and cold water. Shower under the stars on a warm evening.
