About this property

Cozy Oceanfront Home - Secluded Beach, North of Sunset Beach - Near Kawela Bay

Hawaii Tax I.D for both TAT & GET. No. 027-702-8864-01

Our oceanfront home, Kawela Kai, is located on the North Shore of Oahu in between Sunset Beach and the Turtle Bay Resort. The stretch of beach where we are located is beautifully secluded and uncrowded. The beach is protected by a coral reef.

The house is an air conditioned, cozy, two-bedroom, single-family home with it's own yard. It is furnished with a fully-equipped kitchen and all linens. The house has been upgraded and includes; granite counters, soft close cabinets and drawers in the kitchen, stainless steel appliances, crown molding throughout, and plantation shutters. There is one queen and two single beds. The house is not high-end fancy. If you are looking for luxurious accommodations, our house is NOT for you. It is clean, cozy, and cared for lovingly. For your convenience, we offer wireless internet access.

The house has a lovely covered lanai for protection from the sun or if you are a sun lover, there is a nice grassy area between the house and the ocean where you can soak up the sun. During the winter months and early spring, you may have the opportunity to see the humpback whales that migrate from Alaska. If the surf is not too high, you may see the whales breathing and breaching right from the lanai. Other wildlife may be seen from the lanai; such as birds, turtles, rays, Hawaiian monk seals, and the occasional surfer.

There is a washer and dryer available for your use during your stay. As with many oceanfront homes on the North Shore, we are located on the road that goes around the island, so the bedrooms may experience some traffic noise at different times of the day.

The house sits about 18 feet above the beach. Access to the beach is via steps in the sea wall. Good mobility is required for the steps down to the ocean. Other access to the beach from the house is two to three houses down the road by the beach park. Directly in front of the house is a flat rocky/sandstone surface with sandy beach further away to the right and the left of the house. Access to the water directly in front of the house is over a sandstone surface, and a lava/coral shelf.

It is recommended that only those very comfortable in the ocean access the water in front of the house. Experienced ocean swimmers may swim, snorkel, and surf in front of the house during the months from late spring through early fall, but because we are on the North Shore, when the surf is up it is not safe for inexperienced swimmers just about anywhere on the North Shore.

During the winter months, the powerful awesome large surf on the North Shore is tremendously exciting to watch. We are located two miles from Sunset Beach, three miles from Pipeline, and five miles from Waimea Bay. These three beaches are world famous for the large surf and surfing competitions. Even if you do not surf, it is exhilarating to watch!

We are located ten miles from historic Haleiwa town which offers a variety of shops and restaurants. We are about a mile from the championship golf courses at the Turtle Bay Resort.

We do not rent our house out for parties, weddings, or any other type of gatherings. The maximum number of people, including babies and children, allowed is a total of four.

NOTE: Due to the City and County of Honolulu vacation rental ordinance Bill 89 settlement agreement, our property is a legally established dwelling that is rented for periods of 30 consecutive days or more at any one time. Questions or dates unavailable? Click on the "Ask owner a question" button.

Cozy cottage
The house was as advertised. Great ocean view, comfortable beds, and good shower pressure. We loved the miles and miles of walking trails at Turtle Bay. Walking near the house was hard because of the busy highway running behind the property. The owners were quick to reply with the small issues we had. The kitchen does need to have more plates and silverware added. So nice to have access to a washer and dryer. The giant waves and surf competitions were fun to see.

Excellent stay
This property is in the ideal location. Oceanfront, near snorkel spots and great beaches. I haven't seen this mentioned in any of the reviews, but it is near Kahuku golf course. A very nice 9 hole oceanside course. Very unpretentious and relatively inexpensive compared to other courses in Hawaii for non residents. The beach in front of the home is a little hard to get down to as the listing mentions, but not horrible. There are nice tidepools to explore and you can actually walk several miles down the beach if you so desire. The owner is very responsive for a small issue that we had.

So-So nothing to shout about
A average rental property that will do the job but not much else. How it got so many 5 star reviews baffles me. I guess people who have never used a great rental do not know the difference between so-so rentals and good ones. If you choose this rental, just know that the beach below it is unusable. Nice to look at, but not to enjoy. The owners clearly state that, but you will need to go elsewhere for true beach enjoyment. All the appliance work fine, but you will need to bring almost everything else besides what the owners state is included. So the bottom line is this: This is a RENTAL unit, not someone's home. There are very few extras, (as the owner states) unlike a very well appointment home rental. Just go into this unit with low expectations and you will be fine. Have fun!

Sunsets By The Ocean
Right on the ocean with beautiful sunsets just about every evening. Loved listening to the ocean. Kitchen well equipped. Bed was comfortable. Close by famous beaches. Saw 16 ft waves at the Pipeline. Lots to do nearby and driving a short distance. Beautiful walks everyday! Great food nearby. We are vegan and there were a lot of places with delicious food which is sometimes hard to find! We could have spent another month! Also our host was available to answer any questions immediately. LOVED our stay here!

Cozy oceanfront cottage
Cozy oceanfront cottage. This cottage was well equipped and very comfortable for three guests in December. it is not located next to a good swimming beach but the views are incredible of the ocean and waves breaking on the reef. Beautiful back lawn and lanai for sunbathing and ocean gazing.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
We love Hawaii. One of us grew up in Hawaii, the other in San Diego. We are retired teachers and now we are Pickleball players! Our cocker spaniel's name is Lei Lei.

Why they chose this property

We love the North Shore and specifically the part where the house is located because it is away from the crowds. We are a couple of miles from Sunset Beach which is exactly what we wanted. From our house or lanai, if we see four or five people walk by on the beach, that is a very crowded day! We chose this property because it is directly oceanfront. Nothing blocks our view. We like that our house is not connected to any other dwelling and we that we have our own yard.

What makes this property unique

Our house is much more to us than a piece of real estate. The house is our pride and joy and we are so grateful for it. We love relaxing there while being surrounded by so much beauty. We love watching the turtles come up for air. We are filled with awe as we see the whales breathe, breach, and frolic during winter and spring months. We can see these things happening while sitting on our lanai, sitting at our dining room table, or washing dishes at the kitchen sink. Every meal at the house offers a table with a terrific view. Not many restaurants can compete with our view. Needless to say, we prefer to stay home for meals. Mahalo for taking a look.
