  Stephanie's beach house had everything you could possibly want - a quiet, secluded location right on the beach, breath-taking views, and a vintage house with modern appliances and wi-fi (the combination of old and new definitely worked). We typically spend most of our vacation on the go so we can see as much as possible. This time it was all about the house and the beach, with the exception of a couple of quick trips to Honolulu. Nothing better than sitting in the shade, between the palm trees watching the waves or reading my Kindle. This was our 3rd trip to Oahu and it was the best. Thanks for sharing your house with us Stephanie!

  Owner response: Thank you! Your family really "got" the idea of Relaxation! Taking time, enjoying the quiet of our location, the benefits of our beach house and the lovely beach & views, good for you all! Great to meet you, wonderful renters -- do come again!

  My friends and I came to Hawaii to escape the depressing Seattle weather. The house was perfect for what we needed! All 7 of us were able to sleep comfortably, the kitchen was fully stocked with everything that we needed, and the lawn was perfect for just relaxing, playing croquet, or cards. We were close to Halewia, the historic north shore town, that had many delicious restaurants. Our favorites were Luibueno's and Halewia Thai. We loved that the house had snorkel equipment, which made it very convenient when going snorkeling by the house, or on another beach. If you are looking for a place to stay on north shore, I would definitely recommend this place!

  Owner response: Aloha Meghan and Friends - Glad you found your perfect getaway, from Seattle weather, at our beach house! Room for all seven of you, to cook, to relax, play croquet, cards or even snorkel! And delicious restaurants nearby too! Mahalo and Aloha, Stephanie

  We had previously stayed down the road the year before and could not wait to get back to this wonderful secret on Oahu. If you are looking for waterparks, thrills, crowds, and high rises, this is not the place for you. If you want to wake to the sound of doves and the ocean crashing on the reef, or watch whales breeching while you have breakfast, swim with sea turtles 10 yards off the beach, enjoy many walks on a completely empty beach, then this place will be your cup of tea. Matter of fact, I enjoyed my cup of tea morning and night sitting on the beach or sometimes sitting out front taking in the beautiful rainbows over the mountains. There is nothing fancy about the house other than the amazing location, but that was the appeal to us while traveling with two toddlers. It is a perfect house for small kids with bunk beds and many games and beach toys for them to play with. We mostly grilled and made meals at the house, however, there are some really good restaurants and food trucks nearby. We love going to the sugar mill for coffee, shave ice and other goodies, not to mention the weekly farmers market on Saturdays and then a trip down to Waimea on Thursday for their larger market. Kaena point is a worthy hike as well as Kealia Trail which is a few miles down the road near Dillingham airbase. The beach behind the house is perfect for little ones, even when the big waves are abundant as they are tamed by the reef and come lapping into shore. Snorkeling is wonderful, turtles and beautiful fish just a few feet off shore. The owner takes great care to make sure the property is in order and fully supplied and clean. A very good experience. A wonderful retreat for families or a couple.

  Owner response: Aloha JBE and thank you for your stay! Yes, we have a great place for couples and families (without the "fancy" prices) to enjoy the sand, ocean and home atmosphere. So glad that it WAS a respite for your family, and that your children enjoyed their time on the beach too, even with winter waves (breaking far out)! Plus we have all the nearby offerings that you liked too! Mahalo and aloha, Stephanie

  Great location on a very private North Shore beach. You will not find any Hotels, Wal-Mart’s or chain restaurants in this quite neighborhood but you will find a beach that you can have all to yourself. For the best snorkeling walk down the beach to the right about 100 yards at mid to high tide when the wind is down. There are plenty of Turtles and you may even see a native Hawaiian fishing with a throw net. The house is representing very well by the pictures and it is kept very clean so we would like to give it no less than a 5 star rating!

  Recommended for: Sightseeing, romantic getaway.

  Owner response: Aloha James - Thanks for appreciating the quiet and privacy, the snorkeling and the cleanliness! I'm very glad that you enjoyed our great location and beach, as well as the beach house itself. Thanks for your visit and review, aloha, Stephanie

  This home was a delight, it is right on the beach and is represented perfectly by the pictures. Our stay was absolutely amazing, we felt like we never wanted to leave. This is a true old-school Hawaiian Gem. We swam with turtles, rode boogie boards, BBQ'd and spent many wonderful times on the lanai. When we come to Oahu in the future this is where we will stay, cannot wait to come back. We played croquet on the lawn and enjoyed sunsets and sunrises on the beach. Haleiwa is 10 minutes away and had all the amenities we could ever need. If you want to skydive or ride a glider, Dillingham airfield is just minutes away. We swam at Waimea nearly every other day and took surf lessons from Uncle Bryan in Haleiwa. Very thoughtful, knowledgeable and efficient owner. If you want a truly rejuvenating time on Oahu, come to the North Shore, and definitely come to Ku'u Home Mokule'ia. Mahalo Stephanie!

  Owner response: Aloha "Wogdog" family! Thanks for selecting our beach house for your stay, and it sounds like you had many wonderful family experiences there. I'm glad it worked well for you and your family, with our beach, lawn and lanai just waiting for some fun times like you had! And you took advantage of the area's offerings, too. Thanks again for coming to stay and Mahalo from me, Stephanie

  Al & DeDe Eugene, OR 2/21/12 - 3/21/12 Aloha Stephanie, We found your "Ku'u Home Mokule'ia" beach house even better than we had imagined. The description in the VRBO web site was spot on. What wonderful memories we have of our stay there. (Four weeks was not enough.) We appreciate the care and thoughtfulness you have taken in keeping the home authentic by maintaining its original Hawaiian atmosphere. Your knowledge of the area was valuable to us and you provided everything to make us comfortable. We enjoyed hanging out in the back yard overlooking the beach. It is perfect for bocce ball, turtle, whale, bird and surf watching during the day, sunsets and cocktails by the beach in the evening. The location is great for walks on the beach and walks down the access road with its minimal traffic. Dillingham Airfield, Farmers Market at the old sugar mill, Waialua and Hale'ewa are all within an easy 10-15 minute drive from the house. We loved the whole experience and are looking forward to returning. Your concern for our comfort and well being was really appreciated. Mahalo and Aloha! Al and DeDe

I'm very glad you found our place "even better" than you had imagined, and that you have wonderful memories of your visit.

You were great guests; I'm happy that you liked it, and plan on returning! Mahalo and Aloha to you two, and see you again! Stephanie

  This is a wonderful place to stay. It lived up to all our expectations. The house was vintage and so cute. It had all the amenities we wanted. The fact that it was right on the beach was a plus, plus. We walked right out the door and went snorkeling. Other days we went on a hike, visited Pearl Harbor, went to Waikiki and the Polynesian Cultural Center. All are well worth the effort. We also went up to Turtle Bay for an enjoyable lunch in the outside dining area. The weather in January was very pleasant. We certainly would stay there again.

Yes, January is a pleasant month, and you certainly did a lot, plus enjoy our place. Please do return; we'd be happy to welcome you, and connect, again! Aloha, Stephanie

  Stephanie's home was a dream cottage for us --- bright, comfy and cheerful, a place you just don't want to leave . . . and we rarely did! This charming vintage home let us feel like we were part of old Hawaii. The house, lawn and beach were exactly as the pictures show. The ocean view from the living area will be in your memory forever with the beach about two breaths away from the door. Beach walking in both directions goes on and on and the beach was almost empty except for Labor Day weekend … to be expected. Turtles, feeding right in front of the house, all day long. Lapping waves, always. Two days the surf was really high so the waves roared and crashed. Otherwise, it was ideal swimming. One morning we met up with a snoozing turtle on the beach and another morning we saw the sand markings where eight turtles had pulled up on the beach to the sleep the night before. Gorgeous weather. We had it all. Stephanie has equipped her house so well with everything you could ever want: beach/water toys; snorkeling gear; beach chairs; every conceivable kitchen gadget, dish, pot and pan; office supplies; lots of reading material; videos; and Wi-Fi. One day I decided to challenge the house. There must be something it didn't have. Nope! In addition, ceiling fans cool the house wonderfully. We had warm weather - high 80's and low 90's most days - and the house was always comfortable. With a glass of wine, watching the sunset every night on the grass overlooking the ocean, it was like being in a movie. Breakfast and dinner by the big oceanfront window. Ohhh, the view. And sleeping was heavenly. The ocean lulled us to sleep every night. I did, however, wake up one night to a thundering ocean. The surf was up! And I went outside to watch the crashing waves under a magical starry, starry sky. Then very early that morning surfers paddled out to ride those crazy waves. We loved that entertainment as well as the daily skydiving from Dillingham Airport, just down the road. But nothing took our eyes off the ever-present feeding turtles for very long. We've been on the N. Shore several times before so we didn't spend much time beyond Haleiwa (except for the great farmers' market on Sunday morning. Be sure to go.). But the beaches toward the end of the road were new for us . . . gorgeous and nearly empty. Stephanie is a superb hostess - helpful and thoughtful with lots of information, tips, and local goodies! Mahalo Nui, Stephanie. We'll be back. Just wish it could be next week!

  Owner response: Aloha Jude and friend! Thanks for letting us know how much you enjoyed your stay at the beach house! Walks and waves and swimming and turtles, oh my! Yes, the view will remain a significant part of your memory, from inside the house and from both the lawn and beach. We are happy to have people who appreciate our vintage beach house, and location, with all they offer, and we will happily welcome you back soon, Jude! Mahalo nui and aloha, Stephanie
