About this property

Hale Makai - Charming Surf Cottage By The Sea!

E Komo Mai! Welcome to this special corner of North Shore Oahu paradise! Located just steps from some of the most beautiful coastline on Oahu, this cozy and comfortable surf cottage is the ideal spot for your next Hawaii escape.

Charming coastal decor will make you feel instantly relaxed and at home. Fully equipped open-concept kitchen with stainless steel appliances and island seating creates the perfect gathering place for friends and family. If you choose not to cook, you can walk or bike along the shaded bike path to grab a garlic shrimp plate or fresh fish taco from the nearby Pupukea food trucks (Bike rentals available just down the road).

Enjoy indoor-outdoor Hawaii style living in the screened in lanai/porch area. Surrounded by tropical palm trees and gentle breezes, this is the ideal space to relax and unwind after a busy day of island adventures.

The surf cottage is NOT oceanfront however your private beach access gate leads you to a short pathway directly to the sand (a two minute walk!). Enjoy fun-filled beach days, romantic sunsets, or collecting precious shells- and then walk home to rinse off salt and sand in the outdoor shower. As an added bonus Shark's Cove, one of Hawaii's best snorkeling spots, is just a few minutes from the home.

If you are looking for an aloha-filled island oasis near all of the fun and adventure of the north shore, look no further than Hale Makai, your surf cottage by the Sea!

**Air conditioning in 3/4 bedrooms and living room area.

**VRBO/google maps pins this home as directly "on the beach"- it is not directly oceanfront but on a flag lot with one home in between this property and the sand.

**Please ask about our favorite north shore activities, beaches, hikes, dining etc. We enjoy helping our guests create fun and memorable Oahu experiences!

Lovely home in great location

We had a great stay at Hale Makai. This is a very comfortable home in a great location on the North Shore of Oahu. The property was clean and comfortable with nice touches provided like coffee and a huge back of local cookies. There is a of beach equipment provided at this property including beach towels, snorkelling gear, abeach chair, etc. A short walk to Ke Iki beach which is great but the currents were quite strong there during our visit, so we went to other beaches nearby. The house is close to lots of great North Shore beaches. It's a short 10-minute walk to Pupukea beach and shops, which was very convenient and to Sharks Cove beach - great for snorkelling! It's also a very secure property with security codes for the front gate and the driveway and a high fence all round. My only gripe is that some bedrooms have ceiling fans but the Master bedroom did not. The Master had a AC unit that was quite noisy to run. This is a personal preference for me for ceiling fans, so not a major issue if you prefer AC. The TV had some connection issues during our stay but the property manager was very responsive when we raised our concerns about this and did a great job following up with us on this. Overall this was a great property on the North Shore and I recommend it for both families and groups of adults.

Ferienhaus Pupukea

Für uns war es ein wundervoller Aufenthalt in dem (fast) direkt am Strand liegenden Ferienhaus. Die Ausstattung ist sehr gut. Wir 2 Familien haben uns zum größten Teil selbst versorgt und fanden hierfür sehr gute Bedingungen vor. Der in 2 Minuten erreichbare Strand ist für uns der schönste der gesamten Insel!

Great vacation despite the lodging.

Upon arrival there was a stench that smelled like a dead animal. I cleaned the bed linens which helped but 3/4 mattresses need replacing. Lise refunded me $200 for my trouble. The house is charming and worked well for my family of 5, but Extremely dirty!! We found hair and products in the hall shower. There was a sea of cockroaches in the backyard and several in the house plus ants and a few spiders. When I mentioned this to Lise, she said they exterminate but it must have been at the end of the cycle. Also the couch and coffee table were dirty and there were layers of dust on the doors and some furniture. Coffee mugs needed to be soaked and cleaned, short on wine glasses and bowls. Only a few houses from the beautiful beach with a private path, but it was overgrown and hard to maneuver. Also, for being a beach house, it would have been nice to have beach chairs! I rented them from the surf shop truck next to Foodland. It made the beach much more enjoyable! Nice bike/walking path and the location made getting around the island easy—especially North Shore, but right on a noisy road which woke us several times. Overall good location but needs a deep clean, new mattresses, and kitchen updates.

Location is key

30 second walk to probably one of the best beaches on the island. Comfortable with good access to food trucks and FoodLand by foot. Nice paved bike path. Large vehicle makes parking in the car port tough, but not impossible. Would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Kama'aina Hale

Growing up and now raising our own children here in Hawaii, we feel truly blessed to call the island of Oahu our forever home. We enjoy sharing the spirit of true aloha with visitors from around the world. Mahalo nui loa for staying with us!

Why they chose this property

Waikiki may be for some, but the north shore delivers a less touristy and true Hawaii vibe. Whether it be grabbing a local style plate lunch from a nearby food truck, catching a world renowned surf competition, or collecting shells on some of the island's most beautiful shores, you won't regret staying along this magnificent coastline.
