Hale'Aha Kai... which means 'House of Gathering by the Sea,' is a beautiful artist's retreat that is located directly on Hale'Aha Beach in the little town of Punalu'u, on the island of Oahu. This three bedroom, two bathroom Fully Air-Conditioned home is graciously decorated in a traditional Polynesian style with comfortable, over-sized bamboo furnishings throughout. Original art by the owner and other local artists decorate the home. The living and dining room are both oceanfront with views of the ocean and beach and to Ka'a'awa and beyond. We offer secure Wi-Fi Internet, a 42" plasma HDTV and VOIP telephone service (free calling to the Mainland USA and Canada).
All three bedrooms have air conditioning. The oceanfront, master bedroom has a king-size bed with luxurious, plush-top mattress, 100% cotton linens, goose-down pillows, cable TV/VCR, and its own private, full bathroom. The additional bedrooms each have two twins, one in a trundle. These rooms share the second full bathroom. All three bedrooms have ceiling fans. In addition, there is an outdoor, after-swim shower.
Outside, the yard is fully landscaped and has a large redwood deck with built-in seating and lanai furniture. There is also a very unique, coconut log raft that is 'anchored' in the backyard. It is perfect for sunning during the day, a cocktail at sunset, and watching the moon rise over the ocean at night. The sunrises and moonrises at Hale'Aha Kai are spectacular.
Hale'Aha Kai sits directly on Hale'Aha Beach, which has soft-white sand and calm, clean, clear, turquoise-blue, ocean water. This is a year-round swimming beach that is perfect the entire family. The ocean conditions are excellent for snorkeling, shore fishing, and swimming. You will have a lot of privacy at Hale'Aha Kai. There are no attached dwellings or other structures on the property... only the house itself.
Punalu'u is located only 40-45 minutes from Honolulu International Airport, downtown Honolulu, and Waikiki Beach, yet it seems worlds away in a beautiful country setting. There are two general stores within walking distance. Within a few minutes drive you will find a full-size grocery store, movie theater, fast food choices, and some interesting local restaurants. If you need to check-in with the rest of the world, Hale`Aha Kai provives high-speed cable internet access for your notebook computer. We also provide VOIP internet telephone service, with free calling to the continental USA and Canada.
For activities, there is on-site kayaking with two ocean kayaks for exploring the reefs surrounding Punaluu, there are Kahuku and Kualoa Ranches for horseback riding, the Polynesian Cultural Center with its Pacific Islander villages, luau, and shows, Pounder's Beach - famous for its great bodysurfing, Turtle Bay Resort with its two championship golf courses, the North Shore - famous for its wintertime big wave surfing, and many excellent hiking trails are located within a few minutes drive of the house.
Hale'Aha Kai is the perfect Hawaiian getaway. For additional photos, activities and information, please visit our website at haleahakai dot com. |
