  We had a wonderful time staying at this house. It was spacious and clean and private. It's a beautiful location. We loved the chickens and the peacocks roaming around! January was a great time to go to Hawaii. And this is the perfect house if you just want to hang out and relax.The beach is pretty rocky in that area so we had to go to elswhere to really play in the water and to snorkle. Plus the waves are huge on the North Shore this time of year. But the house itself was perfect for us. Mahalo!

  Owner response: We are glad that you had a good Hawaiian holiday and that you had a wonderful time and thought that the house was great. Depending on the weather and the time of year, the sand in the ocean directly in front of the house can shift and the swimming would be rocky right there. We are sorry that you did not see, in the house information book, that if you had walked 150 yards to the left, you would have had a sandy bottom in the ocean. This good swimming continues all of the way to the end of the bay. It is extremely rare to have rocks on the beach. This winter the North Shore has experienced unusually large surf. Malaekahana does not get these waves, but it does have body surfing and bogey boarding waves. On most days, you can snorkel over by the end of the bay to the right. I hope this information will be helpful to future guests.

  We would highly recommend this property. The house was beautiful and quality throughout. The backyard goes directly to the beach which was amazing. It was like having a private beach to yourself - almost no one else there. Very relaxing. Totally enjoyed our stay.

  Owner response: Thank you for your response. We are diligent about keeping the house in great shape for our guests and we appreciate your feedback. We love Malaekahana and are happy to hear that other people feel the same way.

  My wife, two children, and I stayed here for five nights. It was a great experience. I am sure that this will be the vacation that all others are measured against and it is mostly due to this property. Everything was clean and well-maintained. It was well-equipped with everything we needed for cooking, relaxation, and time at the beach. The bedrooms and baths were large. The living area is open and inviting. We felt safe and the location manager was friendly and pleasant. They went out of their way to make sure our stay was special. We certainly won't be forgetting this trip any time soon.

  Property was awesome! Working with Suzie was very easy. I needed some things not listed and we were able to negotiate to complete satisfaction. It was fun staying where they filmed the Soul Surfer Movie. I would highly recommend.

  House was exactly as described in the listing and was very clean. Backyard leads directly to the bay beach. Good location on the North Shore--very close to the Polynesian Cultural Center, grocery stores and handful of restaurants. Having a house and space directly on a beach was great! House is well equipped and we enjoyed our all too short a stay!

  Such a lovely home, with a great kitchen, great back yard, and outdoor lounging with an ocean view. It was clean, quiet, and secluded - so private! Perfect for long walks on the beach, a little boogie boarding, and snuggling up on the sofa to watch a movie. Can't wait to go back with the whole family!

  Great beach house! The new beach house at malekahana is wonderful, the pictures don't do it justice. There is plenty of room for everyone (we only had 5, but could have easily had 8) and the view is amazing. I love that every bedroom has it's own bathroom. The beach is one of the nicest on the North Shore and a very convenient drive to other north shore beaches if you want to watch the winter surfing competitions. I can't wait to go back.

  The perfect relaxing getaway. Casual, comfortable, clean ...... Incredible views and only steps to the beach. Spectacular sunrises! The great room is perfect for dining in, card games, reading and just relaxing. Close to golf, grocery and island shopping. Long walks on the seemingly endless beach! I highly recommend this home for families, couples and friends. We had a great dinner out one night but really preferred to eat at our Malaekahana paradise. The kitchen has everything and the outdoor grill was perfect!

  I just watched the movie, "Soul Surfer", and it made me remember how magical this place was. We had the best vacation here. It will make you long to return for the rest of your born days. The house was immaculate, beautifully appointed, and so very private. I was unpacked and relaxing on the beach in less than an hour from my arrival at the airport. The beach was virtually private, and so adicting. We had lovely walks, beautiful sunrises, refreshing swims, and wonderful sightings of sea turtles and a seal. The house has two outdoor dining areas, one in front on a lovely deck overlooking the ocean, and one in back, both very private. We had a great time shopping for food at local markets and seaside stands, and cooking was a breeze in the spacious kitchen or outside on the barbque. We also had a wonderful dinner at Turtle Bay Resort which was a short drive away. The shopping and surfing on the North Shore were both awesome. We had a great and relaxing time. Just another day in paradise. I

  I can't imagine a better place to stay if you want a fun and relaxing island vacation. The location couldn't be more perfect...away from the crowds and the tourist traps, but close enough to everything that you can do it all if you want. The house is clean and new and beautifully laid out to accommodate a family or several couples. There were four of us in our group...a women's vacation this time...and we had the best week of our lives...fresh shrimp from the shrimp stand down the road which we took home and put on the grill; lovely evenings on the deck watching the sunset over the ocean; long walks on the mostly empty beach right out the front door; a trip into Haleiwa for a burger and shave ice. It doesn't get any better than this. I can't wait to go back and would absolutely stay here again. The photos don't do it justice, as the setting, the incredible views, the privacy, the ocean and beach right outside the door, and the lovely home, make this place Heaven on earth. Highly recommended!
