NOTE:

* A vehicle is recommended as this property is uphill from the ocean, situated in cooler weather.

* The North Shore is one of the best places on Oahu to find untamed Hawaii as nature created it. The flora and fauna native to our ecosystem are a part of its splendor. In addition to the brightly colored tropical fish, on land you can anticipate seeing houseplants the size of houses, wild chickens & roosters roaming around, adorable geckos, tropical birds and the full menagerie of insects that sustain them ... some rare and beautiful (ex. Kamehameha butterflies) and others are decidedly less so. We will always have a clean and well-kept place for you that includes routine pest control, but please be advised that little visitors are not uncommon, esp. if you decide to attract them with unattended food.

* Our inventory of beach & sports gear is constantly changing as things get added or replaced. Such is the nature of outdoor "toys." It will always look similar to what you see pictured but may not be EXACTLY the same. Feel free to inquire about anything specific you've seen in our photos and we'll let you know of any changes.

* We live on the property and you may encounter our children playing in the yard.

* Please note that pricing and availability is subject to change and bookings are not guaranteed until a contract is confirmed. We are committed to making your booking experience as easy as possible.

* We have partnered with a provider of optional travel insurance, including a "cancel for any reason" option, if you need it. It's available for purchase after booking if the check-in date is at least 30 days away.

* Where applicable, the 3% per-transaction payment processing fee is non-refundable.

Perfect Pupukea paradise

We loved this quiet little spot! Property manager very helpful. She even let us pick fruit from her trees. Five min drive from Shark’s Cove. No AC but fans kept it comfortable. Quality mattresses. Even had beach chairs & snorkel gear for our use. Would recommend & would live to stay here again.

Fantastic!

We stayed here for a week (parents toddler) and loved absolutely everything about it. The host family is lovely (perfect balance of being super helpful and friendly while still giving guests ample privacy), the property is beautiful, and the suite is private, extremely clean, and well appointed. Simply could not ask for anything more and we look forward to coming back next year.

Wished we stayed longer!

Although we only stayed one night, this place was a perfect end to our days in Hawaii. It was calm, beautiful, and the family we met was very kind. Our only complaint is that we didn’t book more days. I would highly recommend this place.

Super helpful hosts!

This place was beyond amazing! The location, the house, the fresh fruit eaten right off the trees…I couldn’t emphasize enough how much we loved it! And even when our rental car had some mechanical quirks, they offered assistance right away! Top notch and we would stay there possibly forever!

Amazing time with the family

My family and I absolutely loved our stay here on the North Shore. The house was clean, private, on a beautiful piece of property and minutes away from many of the North Shore’s best destinations. The hosts were friendly, responsive and made our stay exceptionally welcoming. I would stay here again in a heartbeat and already can’t wait to return. Thanks for making our family vacation so wonderful.

Comfortable and safe

I almost don’t want to leave this review because I want to keep this gem hidden for myself! Amazing, lush property with fruit trees and the biggest mango tree I’ve seen in my life! The home is so beautifully and comfortably decorated. Beautiful flowers and live plants filled the vases throughout the home. Super clean. A welcome instruction packet was there for us, along with chocolates! The packet included nearby great restaurants and a long list of beaches and fun things to do. The bed was very comfortable (we only stayed in the very back bedroom). Snorkel gear and beach towels were provided, along with laundry detergent to wash your clothes in the back. No A/C but it was not needed, even though we are from the cold and rainy PNW! Lots of fans available and sleeping was very comfortable with the windows open. I think the most important thing is that we felt incredibly safe. We met the local caretaker and she was like an instant close friend. So happy we found this spot. Cannot wait to come back and visit.

Total Paradise!

We loved our stay here! The property is absolutely beautiful and serene. Perfect place for up to 4 people. The neighborhood is beautiful and we enjoyed running with our morning coffee. A short drive down the hill to town and the best of the north shore. We would definitely stay again.

Review for Pua Pono Paradise

The host was super helpful and friendly. Her recommendations for restaurants and beaches were priceless, especially for those who have never been to the north shore. Grocery store (with the best poke!) and beaches with great snorkeling are within a very short drive away. Even though there is no air conditioning, the constant breeze kept the place comfortable all day and night.
