Welcome to Nakapakea, “The White Sand Banks“ of Malaekahana Bay.
Located on the end of a private road, this LARGE 5 bedroom 4 bath home is ready for your Private Get-a-way. The Kitchen is Spacious with room for all, and has our standard amenity’s such as Stove, Refrigerator, Dishwasher, Garbage Disposal, Toaster Blender and the like. The dining table seats ten, and there are three barstools at the Kitchen counter.
But why dine inside? There is a picnic table in the Beach side yard along with another table and seating, and if the Menehunes are sprinkling you with a cool Tropical Shower, just seat yourselves on the Covered lanai Mauka (Mountain) side of the house. The Lanai wraps all the way around the house to join the Oceanside Patio.
The living area has a large wall mounted flat screen, and of course, there is wireless Internet. Relax on the comfy furniture or take a nap on the Living rooms Queen Size Pune’e while gazing out at the Pacific Blue
There are 3 bedrooms upstairs, two on one side of the home, the other opposite, each with a Queen bed. Two of these bedrooms are Ocean side for a Spectacular view of the Pacific while lying in bed. There are full Bathrooms on each end of the upstairs.
Downstairs are two more Bedrooms, each with a Queen bed and set of single bed Trundle’s. There is another Full Bath in the Hallway next to the Laundry room with it’s Brand New Front load Washer and Dryer.
As for the beach, Malaekahana Bay is just about everyone's idea of the perfect Hawaiian beach. This Beach is praised by quite a few reviewers, such as Frommers, Home and Abroad, Sunset and Trip Advisor to name a few. Even in the old Hawaiian day’s, it was known as a place of Sacred Refuge for the Heart, Mind and Soul.
It’s crescent shaped bay with a mile of deserted walking beach is perfect for Swimming, Snorkeling, Surfing, Boogie Boarding, Kite Surfing and Beach combing for the Famous Glass Balls. With it’s limited access, it’s secluded almost to the point of deserted, but you may bump into the occasional fisherman whipping for Papio or the venerable throw net master.
Get adventurous and take a stroll out to Mokuauia, also known as Goat Island. About 750 off the Malaekahana beach, this island holds two of the sweetest little sandy beaches of its own. Excellent Snorkeling.
Most of the island is a protected Turtle and seabird sanctuary, but there is a trail around the island. Take a stroll around it and when you find your spot on the beach to enjoy the view of Oahu from offshore, lay back in the sand on your own little deserted island. When you get back to your home away from home, there is an Outside Shower for your use as well as an additional enclosed bathroom with shower
Restaurants, horseback riding, hiking, ocean sports, and many other activities are very close by. We are two miles north of Laie with it’s Foodland Grocery store and other local dining as well as a few franchise establishments. BYU and the Polynesian Cultural Center are within another mile.
We are three miles south of the Turtle Bay Resort where there are 36 holes of championship golf and a extensive tennis facility and pro shop. Casual as well as Fine Dining are available here.
Another ten minutes away is the famous surfing beaches of Oahu's North Shore including “Sunset”, "Pipeline" “Rocky Point”. Two miles more will get you to Sharks cove and "Waimea Bay".
Another GREAT Place at a GREAT Price giving You more than a set of Key’s !

Family Holiday Vacation at Malaekahana

Our vacation in Paradise was Terrific! Thank you Nacy and Bill for a "Truley Fanatastic" vacation in Hawaii! Staying in a "Home" compared to a "Hotel" was a great thing! This place was wonderful! We visited the North Shore and the nearby "Local Restaurants" often to get the Local Flare! Forgot to mention that the views from both sides of the house were nothing short of Breathtaking! We spent New Years Eave at The Polynesian Cultural Center. We experienced the show, "Ha...The Breath of Life" and it was truely "Moving"! Visiting is a must and it's just minutes away! The waters were terrific! A little rough for me but our kids loved it! Not sure we would change a thing next time! We would deffinetly go back! Mahalo!
Owner response:Aloha Ronald Mahalo for the review and we're soooo glad you enjoyed your stay with us. Sounds like all of you had a wonderful time and packed in alot in 10 days. The 2011 winter did have some "funny" weather conditions compared to past years but even in Hawaii, we have a "winter". and it does change the water conditions a bit, but it least it did'nt snow ! We hope to see you again. Aloha and ahui ho, Nancy and Ohana

Christmas/New Year Holiday Family Vacation
Guest: Ron and Ohana
(Danville, IN / Minneapolis, MN / Denver, CO)
Date of Stay: 12/26/11
Review Submitted: 01/15/12
Our vacation had been planned since spring and we were really pumped to get to the property. Although our flights was delayed over 6 hours and we didn't get to the property until after dark, we were exteremly happy with what we arrived to. The house was nicely arranged. Also we feel it necessary to mention the six legged gusests that we occasionaly encountered. Not alot of them just a few. The property was located on a stretch of beach that was almost deserted with the exception of the occasional walker and also occasional vist of a seal that had beached it self just down from the house. The location of the house on the property made it particularly diffecult in fact impossible for my elderly mother-in-law to get down to the beach. We wished the the other reviews had mentioned that. Also the beach at the house had a lot of coral and made it hard to get into the water there. We did just have to walk up the beach about 5 minutes to get to a real nice part of the beach were the waters were real nice. Also the time of the year we were there the waters were real rough and the wave and currents made it hard for the most more experienced swimmers and if there were swimmers that were not expereienced it would be dangerous. This, as I said, was becasue of the winter season I'm sure. One more thing to concider when staying at this property is the distance to attractions on the island. Although the distance is not far (Waikaii Beach, Perl Harbor, Diamond Head), the time to travel there, because of the speed limit (averages 35 mph), takes at least an hour to any of these places. Not a problem just so everyone knows. All in all, we would deffinetly go back to this property! Thanks Nancy and Bill! These folks were terrific to work with. They made the whole experience a great one!
Owner response:Aloha Ronald. Thank you for this first of 2 reviews. Apologies for the uninvited guests, but as we are in the tropics, even our "winter" does not get cold enough for a die off period for these pests and as you noticed, the home is clean and well taken care of. The sand burm off the yard to the beach could be difficult for the elderly so we'll try to remember to advise others of this fact, particularily at that time of year. Winter also has an affect on the beaches taking the sand out, and then replenishing it come spring. The winter weather also affects the water conditions in regards to surf and currents, and unfortunately, we had a bit of unpleasant weather during your stay. Hope to see you again ! Aloha and ahui ho, Nancy and Ohana

Spacious Oceanfront Property Really Delivers

Review Submitted: 01/13/12
Aloha Nancy! We absolutely loved our stay the first week of December 2011. Our trip was a Company end of year bonus that turned out beautifully. All five couples fit comfortably in the very spacious oceanfront home. The beach was gorgeous, it felt very private. Take a short walk towards the Malaekahana State Park and the sands turn silky. Towards Goat Island we enjoyed talking to the local fishermen. We also loved exploring North Shore. We caught the last day of the Vans Surf Competition at nearby Sunset Beach, took a hike to Waimea Falls, had delicious shaved ice in Haleiwa and wonderful food at Ted's Bakery (try the Garlic Shrimp & Haupia Pie- to die for!!). We saw numerous turtles in the surf and sun-bathing in the sand at Laniakea and tons of brightly colored fish snorkeling at Shark's Cove. It was a wonderful vacation - only regret - not having a few more days to just relax at the home (too much to see!). I would definitely recommed this home to any one with a larger party, it is fully stocked and secluded - a fabulous location.
Owner response:Aloha Mya. WOW ! Sounds like you guys packed ALOT into your short stay, but sounds like you hit all the good stuff (Ted's is one of our "Must See" spots). Bet you needed a vacation to rest up after you got home. Yes, the property is close enough to get to all of these activities yet set back far enough from the maddening crowds to be secluded. Hope you all get another bonus so we can see you again where we will give you an updated list of new things to do. Aloha and ahui ho ! Nancy and Ohana

Beach House Dream-cation

Review Submitted: 01/09/12
Aloha Nancy & Bill. I believe this is our 7th year renting beach houses from you and of course it was awesome as usual. This is an excellent beach house for our growing ohana and we all love staying there each year. The front yard is sooooo big it allows the kids to play around and do whatever they please without any worries about cars since it is a private road. Baseball, football, bocce balls, chase, etc. We especially love the outside lanai area with the large picnic table where we have our ohana meals and the view of the valley reminds us that we're on vacation even though we live on the opposite side of the island. Of course the ocean right outside of the beach house has been so fun for the kids to surf and fish. They especially liked exploring Goat Island and all it has to offer. Our yearly ohana vacation is never disappointing staying there. Mahalo again...
Owner response:Aloha Scot and Ohana. Seven years it is ! We look forward to your yearly visits and its great to see how all the kids have grown. This property definately has enough room for them all to run around in and the house big enough to give your large group the space they need. See you again in July ! Nancy and Ohana, giving you more than a aset of keys !

Our Hawaii vacation at Malaekahana was as close to perfect as one could expect. The beautiful white sands beach was very private and suitable for all ages. We spent most of our days playing in the surf, boogie boarding, body surfing and snorkeling. The house was comfortable and homey for our large group. Lots of space to spread out, play games and relax. We celebrated Thanksgiving and a 40th birthday at the dining room table but all our other meals were enjoyed out on the spacious back deck with a great view of the mountains. Close enough to all the amenities but far from the crowds. We enjoyed the pineapple fields, golf at Turtle Bay and snorkeling at Sharks Cove, but were most content when we were on our own beach. The owners were very helpful and accomodating. May be the best kept secret on the North Shore. We hope to return again soon.
Owner response:Aloha Donna, Larry and all of our new friends to the North. Mahalo for choosing us for your Canadian Thanksgiving and as a memorable location for a milestone birthday. It sounds like all of you had some good old fashioned family fun in the sun with a taste exploring thrown in. Glad we were able to accommodate all of you comfortably and we hope to see you again.

North shore beach property
Guest: Sarah
(Seattle, WA)
Date of Stay: 12/17/11
Review Submitted: 12/28/11
Large home fronting beautiful and largely deserted beach on Oahu's windward side. Huge yard is great for kids of all ages. 5BR and 3 indoor baths plus outdoor shower provided plenty of room for our party of ten. Well stocked kitchen. Nancy and Bill were nice enough to outfit all of us with boogie boards and snorkel gear. They were responsive when small items didn't work or needed repair. Home was clean but does have a few of Hawaii's de rigeur bugs. We enjoyed north shore surfing, Hanauma snorkeling and a fabulous 50th birthday dinner at Turtle Bay. I patronized every local fruit stand several times during the week.
Owner response:Aloha Sarah and Ohana Sounds like you all had a wonderful time. I'm sure the boys enjoyed the Deserted Beach and the Big Blue Pacific and the local vendors really appreciate your business. Thanks for supporting them. Hope to see you all again. Maka hiki ho, Aloha Nancy and Ohana

Situated on spectacularly spacious grounds, this generous and welcoming home is the perfect setting for family and friends to gather for get aways, reunions, and loads of fun. Stunning vistas, the beach at your backdoor, and gentle seabreezes assure your days are comfortable and your slumber is sublime. We will always treasure fond memories of our stay in this special island home.
Owner response:Aloha H.B. Sounds like you folks spent most of your time at the house. And why not! Family and Friends all gathered together around a Bar-B-Que on a Big Lawn of a Beach Front Home with the kids playing in the Ocean. Can't get any better than that. Mahalo for staying with us and we hope to see you again. Aloha and ahui ho, Nancy and Ohana

We absolutely loved our stay at this rental home located in Malaekahana. It is a large, spacious, and beautiful home located, literally, right on the beachfront. It's location is very quiet, calm, and serene, with a generous backyard that overlooks the ocean. The house comfortably fit all 12 of us staying there (three of them being small children), with plenty of room for even more. This home is a great location for longer family vacations and family reunions. Or, even get-togethers with friends who are looking to experience Hawaii. We spent a lot of time at the house just because it was so nice and had everything we needed. Plus, it was like we had our own private beach to ourselves every day. They had umbrellas, boogie boards, and other beach props readily available for us to use right when we arrived. There's also plenty of towels, dishware, and cooking utensils -- as well as a big grill on the back patio, which we used almost every day. Large picnic tables are placed in the front patio as well as the back patio, providing more than enough room for outdoor dining. The location is also ideal to travel to Waikiki (took us less than an hour) as well as North Shore. It's also close by Lai'e where there's a great hike up to a waterfall, if you'd like to experience a little bit more of Hawaii's beautiful natural environment during your stay. All in all, we loved the seclusion of the home, it's great location, beachfront property, comfortable and spacious layout, and convenient amenities. Only after a few days after returning home, we booked our time there again for next year!
Owner response:Dear "E" Ohana. Thanks for the Great Review. Maybe we should get you to write our advertising also ! Glad you all enjoyed the home, but still managed to tear yourselves away from the secluded beach to see the sights. Also VERY happy to hear you made it to the falls. It's such a Beautiful hike and really does show the true beauty of our Island. See you next year p.s. Smart of you to book early as we are filling up already ! Aloha, Nancy and Ohana

Our extended family gathered for the holidays in Hawaii for the first time this year and we were absolutely delighted with our stay at this house. As other reviewers have mentioned, the house is much bigger than it appears in the photos, and it is very comfortable and well laid out for a large group. The beach it fronts onto is very lovely, and the location of the house on a short private road in between two state parks means that it feels very private. The house was very clean and well-maintained when we arrived, and Nancy and Bill were most helpful in dealing quickly with any issues that arose (ie. replacing a battery in a beeping smoke detector.) I would highly recommend this house for anyone at all, but especially for larger groups of friends and/or family. The house could not have been more perfect for our group (8 adults and 2 kids.) The large, well-supplied kitchen made cooking for that number easy, and there was both an indoor and outdoor dining area large enough for us all to sit comfortably to eat together. Nancy and Bill were also were helpful in forwarding information about things to do and see in the area, and I would definitely recommend checking out the Polynesian Cultural Center, located just a few minutes away, as well as surf lessons from Uncle Bryan at Sunset Surrat surf school. And while the winter surf was a bit rough for snorkeling or swimming at the beach in front of the house, we had some good fun with the boogie boards provided. And we enjoyed watching the surf competitions taking place just a short drive away on the North Shore. The large property was occasionally visited by roving peacocks, which was delightful. However there were also roving chickens, which were somewhat less delightful - as the roosters crowed not just at dawn but at random times including the middle of the night. However, feral chickens seem to be something you'll encounter all over the islands, not just in this area or just on Oahu. (We also saw then all over Kauai.) My recommendation - bring earplugs if you're at all a light sleeper!
Owner response:Aloha Diana. Mahalo for the review. So glad you all enjoyed your stay and the home. Sounds like you covered alot of ground on your first trip. Not only did you get to watch the surf competition, but were able to get in the water with "Uncle B" as well. We'll be sure to let him know you mentioned his name so he remembers you next time. As for the chickens, yes, it's a statewide issue. Out here we have the "Annual Chicken Round Up" performed by the Boy scouts of America who capture the little buggers for a bounty of $5.00 each ! We hope to see you again. Aloha and Ahui Ho Nancy and Ohana

Aloha Nancy and Ohana, Thanks so much for referring us to this beach house. It worked out just perfect for our ohana. The inside was very clean, comfortable, big, and spacious. The 4 bathrooms really came in handy. The big front yard provided an excellent place for the kids to practice their baseball, football, and play bocci balls. Access to the beach was easy and having so much sand was much more comfortable than the other house. The beach was awesome as it provided surf on the high tides. Both the kids and adults had a blast surfing out there or enjoying the shore break. Fishing was alright as we bagged a nice o'io and papio. And the kids had so much fun exploring Goat Island. Seeing so much birds nesting on the island and there was also a lot of nice shells there. Also, big Mahalos for letting us borrow your own kayak for us to use during the week. All in all this beach house was a great fit for our growing ohana and looks like we'll be back again. Highly recommend to everyone. Mahalo!!!
Owner response:Aloha Scot and Ohana. Thanks for the in depth review. Glad you all enjoyed the new place and everybody had a good time. This being your 6th year with us, we really appreciate your continued patronage and look forward to seeing you again and again. Aloha, Nancy and Ohana
