Hale Moana, House of the Sea, is our ocean front home on the beautiful rural North Shore of Oahu. Walk down seven stone steps from our green lawn and you will be on a magical sandy beach. The ever-changing, half-mile-long beach is perfect for exploring, swimming and snorkeling in the summer. Scenes from TV shows and movies are often filmed on our photogenic beach. In the winter there is excellent big wave surfing just steps away at Leftovers, Alligators and Chun's Reef surfing breaks. We invite you to enjoy a front row seat to spectacular sunsets reflected in the waves. Our vacation rental home is licensed by the City and County of Honolulu Department of Planning and Permitting.
All rooms have ocean views and are beautifully decorated Hawaiian style. The home sleeps four to six guests. The master bedroom has a queen-sized bed and two twin beds in the second bedroom can be converted into one king-sized bed. The den/TV room has a queen-sized sofa bed (queen size Aero-Bed also available). Main bathroom has separate shower and bathtub. An additional shower, toilet and basin is located in the garage. The garage shower is convenient when coming in from the beach. Cooking is a pleasure in the ocean view kitchen with glass cabinet doors, ceramic stove top and Corian countertops. Bring your laptop and connect with our broadband cable modem. For added relaxation the library provides many book choices. There is a flat screen TV with premium cable channels (HBO & Cinemax), a DVD with a DVD library (70 DVDs), and a VCR.
The beautifully landscaped yard is great for sunbathing, barbecuing, sunset watching and turtle spotting. "Honu", Hawaiian green sea turtles, are seen year round swimming and sunning on the beach. Nearby Historic Haleiwa town has surf and clothing shops, art galleries and wonderful restaurants. World famous Waimea Bay, Sunset Beach and Banzai Pipeline are nearby. Visit Hawaii's Number One visitor attraction, the Polynesian Cultural Center. Everything has been thought of to make your vacation stay at Hale Moana relaxing and memorable.
While Hale Moana is very comfortable and well equipped it is not our intention to compete with the luxury appointments of a deluxe chain hotel. We have ceiling fans in every room but no central AC. We feel that our spectacular proximity to the ocean more than offsets the more rustic nature of the property.
The North Shore is known world wide for its dramatic winter surf. Be aware that swimming in most places during big wave season is best left to experts and children should be closely supervised. Also note that the beach sand levels vary significantly at the whim of surf and tide. In the winter, when the big waves are breaking, you can always head to the South Shore for calmer waters for swimming. Summer on the North Shore does provide great snorkeling and swimming conditions.
Access to the beach involves a flight of stone stairs, and we do not have accommodations for those with significant physical challenges. Our fenced and tree lined property is set between the road and the sea. Our guests find that the sights and sounds of the ocean easily win their attention and hearts.
