Partake of some of the abundance the land provides such as mangoes, papaya, bananas, limes, oranges and coconut.
The house has two bedrooms, a living room with an adjoining dining area, a fully equipped kitchen, an office, and inspiration or quiet room, a single bathroom with tub and shower and a mountainside lanai.
The bedrooms are furnished with queen-size beds and attractive island décor. The living room has a TV with Oceanic Time Warner cable and CD/DVD player. In addition to the traditional rattan couch and chair, it is also furnished with a single fold down futon. The dining area can easily accommodate six.

The Polynesian Cultural Center offers an incredible introduction to the island and it's cultural heritage, just 5 minutes north by car. Sandy white beaches are at every turn of the road, often deserted during the week, a pleasure to walk, snorkel or simply relax in the sun. The closest beach is a mere 7 to 10 minute walk.
For the hiking enthusiasts, there are two mountain trails within a five minute walk, Hauula Loop Trail and Makapuu Ridge Trail. The famous Sunset Beach, site of numerous surfing competitions, is just 20 minutes north, further along is Waimea with an Audubon-sponsored park and fabulous beach. Then you come into Haleiwa, an old town established in the days of sugarcane and pineapples. It still exudes it's original charm. Do not miss the shave ice!

Shopping for groceries, visiting local eateries and small local shops with Hawaiian treasures is part of the Hauula experience. They all sustain our local economy and make living in Hauula such a pleasure. You too can experience the authentic Aloha of Hawaii, come join us at the Homestead.

Why the Owner Chose Hauula
The location was an ideal match for our dream. Away from the densely populated area of the island, away from the noise, congestion
Owner's Map of Hauula
We bought our house to fulfill a dream of living off the land. The almost two acres provide us with many seasonal fruits and an abundance of flowers. Family responsibilities and job requirements often call us to different continents so it is a dream still in progress. In the meantime we opened the doors to allow visitors to our island the experience of the serenity of our Homestead. You will be welcomed with Aloha to our little piece of paradise.

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that we absolutely loved the rental. The sound of the waves and the rain at night just put me right to sleep. I hated to come back home only to hear the sound of a heater in the middle of a cold 32 degree night. The gardens are spectacular. We definitely will be future customers. Thank you so much for your hospitality, we truely enjoyed our stay. Thanks again
