BEACH LANE BUNGALOW - Here is the beach bungalow you've been looking for. Located on the southern border of Laie, this old-time beach cottage was lovingly restored and you'll see the quality and workmanship throughout. The 425 square foot private cottage has a front deck of 150 square feet with a gas grill, a grassy front yard, an over-sized walk-in tiled shower, double bowl vanity sinks in the bathroom, a convertible loveseat(sleeps an extra guest if need be), and a roomy full kitchen for cooking in.
This rental is just 100 yards from a beautiful mile stretch of sandy beach (the beach access is at the end of the lane). It's perfect for strolling, swimming, and snorkeling. The Polynesian Cultural Center (with its luau dinners and hula shows) is just a few minutes away. The LDS Temple is in Laie and a visit to Laie Point offers a dramatic view of the rugged coastline. A bit further down the road is the Malaekahana State Recreation Area, with views to Goat Island, a sea bird sanctuary. The Turtle Bay Hilton is just 15 minutes north and offers a nice place for lunch, cocktails, or dinner. Continue north and you will run into the famous North Shore surfing beaches and famous Haleiwa Town with alot of shopping and resturants.
Whether you decide to relax at the bungalow, or drive around to sightsee, you are sure to have a fabulous time.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2003
Aloha,
I'm a husband, father, jack of all trades, coach of all sports and owner/manager of 5 vacation rentals in Hawaii. I was raised in Hawaii from the age of 8 years old after my family moved here from the USA mainland. Hawaii has so much to offer and I hope you get the chance to visit and explore this amazing state.
Why the Owner Chose Laie
My wife and I love this beach property. It's so close to the beach, restaurants and grocery stores. The small town feeling and tight community on this beach lane is familiar since we both grew up in a small town, on a cul-d-sac on Oahu.
The Unique Benefits of this Cottage
The beach is great. Never really rough, even in the winter when the North Shore surf spots are reaching 25 feet. A perfect beach for swimming and boogie boarding. The large shower of the Beach Lane Bungalow rental is my favorite. Fully tiled with additional access to the shower the moment you step in from the back bungalow door.

This intimate bungalow was in a quiet little neighborhood and so close to the beach. Greg thought of everything when it came to stocking this house. We used the beach mats and the beach towels. We used the cooler to bring lunch and snacks to the greatest free snorkeling location, Shark's Cove (much better than paying for those expensive tours). The house was a great central location to driving north to Haleiwa or south to Kailua. It was cozy, pleasant and we had an absolutely wonderful stay at the bungalow. Thank you so much, Greg!

The cottage is very conveniently located just a few houses off of a nice stretch of beach and within 20 min drive of many gorgeous beaches. Boogie boards look great, though we didn't use them. It has a very nicely stocked kitchen: a nice variety of pot/pan sizes and shapes, a few cutting boards, dish detergent and several cooking basics such as oil, vinegar and shoyu. The bath was also nicely stocked with supplies, though strangely there were only 3 bath towels. That left us doing laundry a couple of times. The cottage is very near the highway, so traffic is LOUD, beginning around 5am - not a problem if you keep the windows closed. There was one maintenance incident that was resolved in minutes via text to owner (a GFI outlet broke circuit, resulting in loss of power on one wall-was reset with one simple click). My one complaint is lack of wi-fi. There was no reliable service in the cottage. I saw this in previous reviews (7/1/11 review), where it was noted by owner, but nothing has been done to remedy this. Our own email conversation about the problem was dropped by the owner. I had my iPhone and could survive but would not have brought a laptop had I known this. A wireless repeater is an inexpensive purchase that could remedy this.
Owner response:Hi Nita. Mahalo for letting me know about the bath towels and for reminding me about the WiFi signal. I purchased a longer range N dual band wireless router after receiving your email and will be installing it this week. The guy at Office Depot said it will work much better. Aloha, Greg

The bungalow was in a great location to explore the rest of the island and we enjoyed how quiet it was, and such a lovely drive to get there from Honolulu. The best feature was the rear entrance to the shower so we didn't get sand everywhere. We loved having the beach so close and watched the sun rise one morning. Having snorkel gear, beach mats, towels, etc was a huge help, as was body wash and shampoo/conditioner--so nice to not have to pack those. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook breakfast each day, and we appreciated having the grill for making dinner. The washer/dryer was a big plus too. The only small issue was that the internet was weak in the house, and unfortunately we had to check work e-mails a few times which didn't work out so well when it was raining (we could only get internet on the deck). I guess that's what we get for trying to work on vacation! :) Greg was extremely fast in answering all e-mails. Thanks for sharing your place with us!
Owner response:Thanks Guys. I'm glad everything worked out well for you and that you were happy with the bungalow. Sounds like I need a new wireless router or a gain antenna to increase the internet signal at the bungalow....Mahalo for letting me know.

First time user of Homeaway & was scared when owner stated not be there when I arrived but everything worked out as Greg instructed. Clean, beach toys, cooler for the beach. No disruptions from neighbors. Relaxing beach week:)
Owner response:Hi Sean. I'm glad you had a relaxing week and sorry that I couldn't meet you there when you arrived at 10:30pm. It was just a little too late for me that night. It was nice to meet your family the next morning though. Have a great summer and hope to host you again sometime. Aloha, Greg

My husband and I were looking for a quiet comfortable charming little place to stay while in Hawai'i during our 10 year anniversary trip. This was the place! We loved everything about it. We especially enjoyed the patio late in the evening. I even walked alone to the grocery store at about 10pm and felt perfectly safe. It was the perfect place to stay as we explored the entire island. We circled the island 4 times in almost 4 days. We loved not having to stay in Honolulu as we were not as impressed with the city as we were with the gorgeous countryside. We highly recommend any tours at Kualoa Ranch and the beaches just north of Laie were so quiet and the other people on the beach were very very friendly. We loved the proximity to the PCC and the University where my husband had attending 12 years ago. It felt like being home for him. Also... this place is across the street from the bus stop which stops fairly often. Thanks Greg! You have done a wonderful job on this place! I especially love the green paint on the bungalow and the large shower!!!!
Owner response:You're very welcome Maggie! See ya next time..... Aloha & Mahalo, Greg

We had a wonderful time at the beach cottage. It had everything for a wonderful stay. The location was perfect to enjoy the many north shore beaches, hikes, polynesian cultural center, and grocery store is close by. We hope to return soon.

We intentionally chose north shore in order to avoid crowds and commercialism of Waikiki. It was purely chance, however, that we selected this particular rental on the north shore. The rental gods must have been smiling on us because it proved to be perfect. Safe and quiet, it's the ideal place for a couple: all the amenities, comfortable bed & furniture, sufficiently roomy yet compact enough to be easily maintainable if staying for a longer time. (We were here for 12 days). People in the area are friendly and courteous, especially drivers on the Kam Highway and in the towns along the coast. Laie is a great location: quiet, small town atmosphere but close enough to the "big lights" so that it's not a big deal to go check out the night life if you so wish. We did spend one night in our car, up the hill from the beach, as we waited out the tsunami warning...wonder if we should approach Greg re a refund for the night we didn't get to sleep in the bed??

This place is adorable. It was the perfect size for a couple and had a private cozy feeling to it. Just a stroll down the road we had a private beach where we never saw more than a handful of people. (And if we did see people they nearly all smiled and greeted us with a friendly aloha). The bungalow had everything we needed and more - including raincoats, menus, reading material, and kitchen gear. Completely clean and well maintained. In walking distance is a market. Honolulu was about a 45 minute drive so no problem to go in to the city for the day. Far exceeded my expectations and I have already recommended it to several friends and family members!
