Bathtub Beach- Views, Be on the Beach-Special $
Year Purchased: 2005
Why the Owner Chose Laie
I love the ocean. The minute I walked through the patio doors and saw the views, I knew I had to have the property....
The views are awesome and the water is crystal blue. The house is located on the sand and not on the street!! Laie is a great town and home to BYU and the PCC!
The Unique Benefits at this House
The beach is OUTFRONT....you can fall asleep to the ocean sounds. We are set back from the main highway and you do not get the traffic noise.
Walking across to the street to PCC and the best luau and show on the ENTIRE island...I know as I have been there several times.
You can walk to the university - BYU. Stroll to McDonalds for an ice cream cone of just sit and enjoy the beach.
Martha and Keld are the most wonderful hosts on the entire island. They have been in Hawaii for 26 years. If you are from Europe Keld would like to practice his Danish!
Owner's Map of Laie
Much to my surprise, I suffered a stroke 2 years ago. My son is now college age and I will be an empty nester. As a family, my son and I loved to come to Hawaii. Quality family time.
I am now retired and devote full time to helping others enjoy the many pleasures of Hawaii. We hope you can be our guest soon.

Fantastic Beach

Loved our stay and enjoyed walking the beach each morning. Would recommend this place to anyone wanting a private beach, convenient tourist attractions, and a warm and friendly environment. We loved the bathtub beach and taking our little one. Safe, warm and beautiful clear water. Our bedroom faced the ocean and the beautiful sunrise greeted us each day. At night we could go to sleep with the sound of the waves out front. The newly remodeled kitchen and bath were awesome. The house was spotless. We especially like the kindness of the owner and the warmth of the property managers. We hope to return again. It was a long flight from the east coast, but well worth it.

My family really enjoyed our stay. The house was central to the attractions we wanted to visit (North Shore, Turtle Bay, Kualoa ranch, Pearl Harbor, etc. No more than an hour drive to any thing. What we really loved about our stay was the quiet at the house. Every night we slept with the window open and listened to the waves against the beach. No traffic noises at all. It was just the right blend of quiet and convenient. Thanks!
Owner response:Thank you for being such wonderful guests. We'd love to have you return again.

The house is spotless, welcoming and comfortably appointed in all the rooms. The kitchen and bath are great and are stocked with some basic supplies to start you out. In both the bedrooms the beds are comfortable and cozy, nice to fall into at the end of a long active day. There are plenty of towels and beach mats, boogie boards and water toys are all there for your use. Your lovely host Martha is handy and stops by to see if you have any questions or needs, but is not intrusive. It's great to have a knowledgable local so handy. Farm stands and beach parks are not far down the road and many conveniences and attractions are nearby but the set-up of the houses makes you feel removed from the activity around you. A quiet cup of tea and some farm fresh pineapple on the lanai watching the sunrise over the ocean or an evening barbeque with the same view is priceless. The beach is quiet and beautiful with only a handful of homes having access because of the geography, it also has a natural break water to create a calm swimming area in the afternoons. If I am lucky enough to go back to Oahu, I’ll certainly come back here.

Traveling with family is always a challenge. Although we made reservations for 3, we had 2 other family members join us at last minute. The beach was our perfect hang out. No one really was around. We tried to go to the famous snorkeling beach but couldn't even find a parking spot, so we turned around and came back home. The views from the house are fantastic and don't even seem real. The water is so clear and the mountains so green. Martha was the perfect host, bring us 2 extra set of sheets. We'd love to return again. Oh yes and the rain shower head was unreal!!! I must buy one for my home.

The place to be if you are coming to Laie. This beach was the BEST, we went down the street to another and it was so crowded, we left. We loved the bathtub area right out front. Our kids 10 and 12 had such a great time. The best part, we could walk across the street to the Polyesan Culture center. Thanks for the discount grocery card! We had tons of dishes, pots and pans and a FULL sized refrigerator. THe weather was cool and breeze, we didn't need any air conditioning. In fact, we had to wear light weight jackets at night.. Martha you were the best, we loved you and Keld. We plan to come again.

Traveling to Hawaii with 2 small infants, 3 yr and 5 months is tough. The house in Laie made our stay so easy and FUN. We didn't have to pack up the kids to go to the beach. We just walked out front. Bathtub beach is perfect....NO ONE. We had the beach to ourselves. We had everything we needed in the unit, a high chair, and a packnplay. We loved the weather! It was perfect and we didn't need any air conditioning. Thanks Martha for being a wonderful, warm and welcoming hostess. You were great.

Loved the vacation and escaping from the Nevada heat. Our children 11 and 9 won't come in from the beach even to eat. It was their perfect place to be. Loved the boggie boards and the beach to ourselves. After going to some other crowded beaches, this was the BEST. Just us. We loved having such a wonderful kitchen and full sized refrigerator -- saved us a lot of money. We could even walk across the street to PCC. What a great show. Victoria recommended that we drive across the H3 to Laie. We are so glad! What a spectular drive. We were even more pleased when we got to the home. Martha was the perfect hostess. I would highly recommend this home and this side of the island for the most unreal, green, tropical forest...it was like another world. Thank you so much for the great family vacation.

We rented the home for our 2 children because of the beach. We are glad that we did. After driving to other beaches we came back here. It was the BEST beach and the least crowded. Our kids loved it. Perfect for swimming, snorkeling and just sitting in the water. Wonderful beach and just as the pictures showed. Perfect weather and views.!!! Windy and cool. Glad we stayed here. The set up worked perfect for us. We'll be back....for sure...
