About this property

Turtles, Swim Beachfront Ocean view, New bigger AC. Wash-dryer in unit, parking

This Unique and private beachfront condo with turtles everywhere and its a perfect swimming beach. Come enjoy the newly remodeled oceanview unit that has a wonderful ocean crossbreeze from the trade winds and air conditioning also now we are happy we have a brand new septic system. This one of a kind place is probably the best swimming and snorkeling beach on this island and with a newly remodled kitchen and bathroom that’s kept sparkling clean. This beachfront condo is best for swimming, snorkeling, canoeing and sunbathing fun. Turtles are everywhere on this very calm beachfront that often has balmy sea breezes and as for swimming, it’s protected by a reef and great for kids too as the water is perfect and usually calm, clear and inviting. The lawn out front is like carpet also and the beach is pristine with clear tiel waters.

Just step outside onto the beach or relax on patio outside under an umbrella table or on the units lanai and sip a beverage and see the waves and palm trees sway. Watch tv on a 52 inch smart cable tv on one of the two comfy chairs (one makes into a twin size sleeper and there’s a futon topper for extra comfort, and the other is a straight back chair) or just watch while relaxing on the full size bed on a memory foam mattress and pillows with the remote or better yet, go outside and discover the surroundings and lounge on one of the many beach chairs while watching the waves or sit under an umbrella table and grill on the BBQ and eat on a picnic table or by the swimming pool. There is Free WiFi and a full size bed in a small back room area and a breezy ceiling fan up above each bed. The place is perfect for two people and works for three and even four, you’ll love the grounds too.You won’t need anything however but this place if you decide to stay here and take in the beauty of the swaying palm trees and quiet paradise lawn with sunbathing chairs. If this sounds like paradise to you then This place is for you! The unit also has an ocean breeze while listening to the waves on the full size bed in front room with memory foam mattress. There’s also a Full size bed in back area also has memory foam mattress that Sleeps 2 more. We do recommend however you consider the place is smaller and works best for 2-3 people. 4 will work however if you must and it’s private in the back with some space for luggage in closet and a dresser drawer to unpack. Total we can handle is 4. There’s a Sleeper chair in front also that makes to bed when legs extended from zipper holder on back and pulled down. Extra cushion topper futon for more comfort. Many collectibles removed as per guest recommendations and we always have and always will professionally clean everything between stays and provide new linens and pillows and towels changing them regularly. Our cleaners use our new hydrosteam crosswave mop vac steamer that leaves the place spotless between each guest. You may also book a additional cleaning after three or four days if you need one at an additional discounted cost. Just ask the host. You will love relaxing in our comfy condo after a day on the beach or touring about the many attractions close by. (There is also half and entire large closet that has all the swim equipment and Tommy Bahama beach chairs and umbrella you will need and for your use and a smaller cloths hanger area, (to put your belongings and a full size dresser for your cloths.) Nearly everyone who has visited has loved the place and commented on its charm. When you stay with us you won’t regret it. The memories will last forever.

The ocean is calm and clear and everyone is usually is swimming and snorkeling or just sunbathing or lying under a palm tree. The unit is also clean and quiet and professionally cleaned after each guest. All sheets, pillows, blankets, rugs, linens and towels are sanitized after each guest and either new or clean. My pillows are very comfortable also. I use cotton sheets also.

The place is very rare and a hidden gem…, like a Diamond in the rough. The swimming beach is awesome for children and adults alike as it’s protected by a reef and teaming with turtles and we have seen manta ray and even a monk seal.

There’s a large grass area with swaying palm trees and the grass is like carpet with lawn chairs and picnic tables and umbrella tables too. It’s like heaven and we look forward to spending time there whenever we can and can’t wait to go back there ourselves as its our happy place. Also there is spalling and painting work being done on the end of the building and its ongoing and intermittent sometimes with noise and however noone has complained as it’s only during working hours and never on weekends. Most people are touring or on the gorgeous beachfront so it hasn’t been an issue. We have a new bigger AC as of today.

Amazing location

We visited Waikiki first and this was such a nice change definitely quiet, beautiful view from the condo and the outdoor area is just amazing grass, flowers, lounge chairs, the beach, palm trees, turtles evening and morning. It was really an amazing spot. We spent a lot of time walking the beach in the water and lounging on the chairs in the evening just enjoying the breeze and the stars.

First trip to Hawaii

The oceanside and beach access was lovely. The size of the rental was perfect for our needs as we basically used it as a landing zone b/w excursions and so did not spend a lot of time inside. The location was also great for what we had planned to see and explore!

Wonderful Beach and location

We had an amazing time during our stay here and have recommended to our friends to book here after coming home. AC is a small room unit, but we found it wasn’t needed with the nice cross breeze coming through. The kitchen was stocked with pots and pans and had everything we needed to make meals for our family.

Great location…beautiful views

Waking up to see the ocean from the patio and watching the turtles come up to the beach was amazing! The pool was closed which was disappointing and the water was way too choppy to get in but we drove 30 minutes to the North shore to the beach so no big deal. Great host with great communication.

Amazing beach and nice not to be in the chaos of downtown

The property is everything the add says. Good location with an unpopulated beach. We saw turtles and seals. The construction on the building didn't affect our stay. The amenities were accessable, we used the pool and the BBQ. It is about 45 min drive to Honolulu but I liked the drive through the island. The cleaniness was subpar. But it is a beautiful location with great a view.

The building is the construction site with scaffolding and construction materials around and in the building. The unit is advertised as newly renovated while furniture seems very old and moldy. The unit had dirt and dust on the shelves, sink and kitchen ceiling lights when we arrived. The bedroom is not the proper bedroom: no door (just curtain), no window just old and dirty air vent covered with a towel through which you hear all the outside noise. The bathroom ceiling fan is very low and has visible electrical wires - very dangerous electrical shock hazard. The house rules are very strict (on how to wash the dishes and towels, wipe the floors) and communication with the owner very rigid, Garden and beach are beautiful.

Not worth $828 for two nights

There was construction and bad smells. All the "designated" parking spots were taken so I had to park next to a dumpster. The unit is in one end of a 9-story building on the 2nd floor. The lockbox containing the keys (and the only elevator) was in the middle of the building. It took me awhile to find it. There is a stairwell at the corner of the 9-story building so I carried my things up the stairs to the unit. The unit was`

Paradise

Nice condo as base for our adventures on windward / north shore areas. Beautiful swimming and snorkeling beach in front. We spent time at condo beach and grassy area one day. They were doing some work on the exterior of the building, as it is an older property, so it was a little distracting during work hours. The beach is great, very few people and saw big sea turtles each morning. My daughter swam with them one morning. Condo is small and was fine for two people. The bed in the front room was very comfortable for me at 5’5, but too short for my 5’9 daughter. The mattress is on a futon frame so her feet hung over onto the wood frame. The bed in the bedroom was comfortable for her. There is only a small window in that room without a curtain, the porch light shines in, so covered with towel which then prevents air into the room. There are ceiling fans in bedroom and front room. There is a portable air conditioner that we used also. Nice having washer and dryer in condo. Best to use when you’re not going to be in back area as it warms the bathroom especially. Loved that we had access to beach chairs, towels, snorkel gear and coolers. Jan was great to communicate with, she was very responsive. If we were traveling to this area again we would come back.

We really enjoyed our stay here! The home was spacious, the beds were comfortable, and there were many thoughtful amenities provided for the beach, which made our trip even easier. You can feel the Aloha spirit in how the owner communicates—she was so flexible, quick to respond, and truly helpful throughout our stay.One small note for future guests: while the photos give the impression of a clear ocean view from the front window, there are other buildings that partially obstruct it. This wasn’t a problem for us at all, since the beach is just a few steps away, and we spent our time enjoying the view right by the water. The small AC unit doesn’t cool the house drastically, so if you’re not comfortable opening the front and back doors to let the tradewinds breeze through, that’s something to keep in mind.One of the absolute highlights was visiting the beach late at night and seeing 10–15 turtles resting on the shore (just remember to keep your distance and avoid flashlights or flash photography). Another magical moment was heading out around 5:15 a.m. to watch the turtles return to the sea as the sun rose—a truly special experience.All in all, this home provided the perfect setting for relaxation, comfort, and memorable moments. Mahalo for such a great stay! We hope to come back!

Our stay was just okay. It was exactly as advertised (except the AC doesn’t really do anything). It wasn’t quite as comfortable as we would’ve liked for our honeymoon. Check in was unique and the place was under a lot of construction (which I knew) but just probably not worth what we paid!

Great location

This condo is clean and well maintained. It has great amenities. The owner is prompt with communication. The beach is beautiful with calm waters. We even saw sea turtles one morning! Having traveled to the tropics before, we know that AC is a rare commodity. We also know coming back to a cool bedroom is a luxury we are willing to pay for. Unfortunately, the AC in this unit was entirely inadequate. It was actually hotter in the condo after running it than it was without. Our only option to get any sleep was to leave the front and lanai doors open all night. Which meant waking up to neighbors staring in and a light from the hallway in our faces all night. Oh, and ice packs for our feet. The owner did offer to refund the charge for AC, which we are grateful for (but haven’t seen yet.)

Perfect location on Eastside of the island. Posting is accurate. Only drawbacks that we didn’t foresee was only having one key available and low ceilings. We are tall people but it was cozy. Basically what we expected after staying at several places around the island over the past year.

About the host

Host profile image
US Army Veteran who loves people. My best friend and I would love to make your stay with us memorable and comfortable. We live in this place. It’s truly paradise.

Why they chose this property

A unique place with sand and a grassy lawn that premiers one of the best hideaway beaches on the island perfect for swimming, kayaking, snorkeling and the kids love it to when the waves are shallow that is most of the time. There is also a pool for the kiddies if needed. The place has a local feel and people here are all so nice and happy. It’s peaceful and you can hear the waves while you sleep and see the ocean and palm trees while you cook. If you do t want to cook there are delicious food trucks very close by and Kayas also has a kitchen for take out that is just steps from the condo. Also there are shrimp trucks and down the road is PCC with several eating selections and many taco trucks close by also. Or venture down by car 20 minutes to Turtle Bay Resort for cocktails and sunset at the Point or a 5 Star Dinner experience at Lei Leis for the best steaks or fish around or Roys for a fusion cuisine. If you venture further down to Haleiwa you can head to the Beach House for dinner, sunset and cocktails or Haleiwa Joes for a legendary Prime
Rib dinner.

What makes this property unique

The coral heads on the beach are protected by a reef that offers a perfect swimming beach With plenty of coral and lots of sea turtles and fish for a great snorkeling experience And fishing is also popular on this property.
