Location: Mokuleia, North Oahu, Oahu, Hawaii, USA (30 Minutes from Honolulu International Airport)
Accommodations: House, 2 Bedrooms + Other (See Description), 2 Baths (Sleeps 8)
WELCOME to your comfortable, peaceful retreat in Paradise! Beauty surrounds you. The view from the living room itself is marvelous: beautiful ocean waves and grassy lawn, Hawaiian coconut trees with blue sky and white clouds. You can sit and look at it all day!
SPACIOUS - There is plenty of space in the combination living-dining room to accommodate your loved ones, for playing puzzles/games or talking about the day's swim/beach walk/adventures. (Of course there is a cable TV with VCR and tapes too.)
BEACH - Just walk out the door, thru the lanai with the picnic tables, and you will be on your grassy lawn (big enough for Croquet!), surrounded by native Hawaiian plantings, and the gently sloping seashore is in front of you.
VIEW - See the sandy beach, the ocean's waves - plus!- the coastline and mountain views. Beautiful! Lay down and sunbathe, either on the tree-shaded grass or sand, and let go in the warmth of the day, listening to the waves lapping on the shore. Or sit in a chair and just be mesmerized by the ocean's beauty. Stay long enough and you will see the turtles! (and maybe the humpback whales in season).
SWIM/SNORKEL - After taking a refreshing swim or snorkel in the warm and safe ocean, return to your home, enter either bathroom's shower from it's outside door, enjoy your hot shower, and step directly from the shower into the bathroom to get dressed.
KITCHEN - Stay casual and prepare dinner in the full kitchen. The kitchen has a pass-through to the dining/living room - easy for communicating and also from which to enjoy the picture window view. You could even go out to the lanai and grill your own fish or teriyaki steak or fresh vegetables. Eat outside or in at the big family-sized table - your choice!
BEDROOMS - The two bedrooms (Master with a Queen bed and French door to the lawn; two sets of bunk beds in the partially-divided upper bedroom) accommodate 6 people. Another great place to sleep is on the queen-size pune'e (Hawaiian daybed) in the living room - it has the picture window lawn/ocean view when you wake up! Two bathrooms make this a comfortable retreat for a family or friends to enjoy.
HOUSE - The house is a vintage, roomy, Hawaiian style, classic board and batten, beach house, built in the 1930s-1940s, and first started life as a fishing shack! It has been well-used and well-loved within this family since the 1930s! And we would like to share it with you now.
LOCATION - If you are interested in shopping, sightseeing or not interested in cooking, the nearby towns of Waialua and Haleiwa are just ten minutes away with many restaurants, shops and attractions available! The beautiful coast and ocean are in either direction.
PEACEFUL - When you stay here, in the quiet of the night, look at the star-filled sky, and notice how peaceful it is. Listen to the waves, they will lull you to sleep in your clean and cozy bed - all is well with the world, and in the morning you will happily greet another beautiful day!

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1934
This house has been in our family for seventy-five years! Our grandparents, parents, the siblings, and now children and grandchildren have had many memories and fun times here. And we are ready and willing to share this beach house with you now!
Why the Owner Chose Mokuleia
We have a family history and much aloha for Mokuleia and the Waialua district. It is reflected in our stories, experiences, the house itself, and the furnishings and plantings. This truly is a vintage, classic beach house, and there are fewer and fewer of them remaining in Hawai'i! This is no modern cookie cutter house, flat and starkly new - this house is unique, with home-grown vernacular architecture and has soul! And it has seen its share of natural phenomenon, and keeps on ticking! Come experience some authentic relaxation in a real homey beach house, just perfect for a family to feel comfortable in!
The Unique Benefits of this House
We love the openness of the living and dining rooms, comfy and casual, with the fabulous view out the picture window! I especially like the Hawaiian-style daybed/pune'e, where you can wake up to the morning view of trees, blue sky and ocean. It's a room that just embraces everyone in a big family hug!
