This location has it all! A sandy beach front and one of the most spectacular views on the North Shore. Most beach front houses just look out at open ocean. However, this Oahu guest house has been built higher up the lot providing full 180° views of Laie Bay, Hukilau Beach, Malaekahana State Park, and Goat Island. The lower part of this large (2/3 of an acre) beachfront lot offers a private, gated access to Laie Beach. Do you remember the lyrics in the Hawaiian song "All the Hukilau nets are swishing, down in Old Laie Bay"? Well this is the spot that that the song was written about.
A little less than one hour from downtown Honolulu, this beautiful location will give you an "Outer Island" experience without the extra airfare cost and time, traveling to Maui or Kauai. Some of Oahu's biggest attractions such as the Polynesian Cultural Center, Turtle Bay Golf Links, and world-famous North Shore surfing beaches are only a few minutes away from this Laie retreat. It's the perfect blend for a paradise island getaway.
This large 390 square foot studio, was primarily designed as a guest accommodation to the main house. It's fully-equipped tile kitchen and bath will delight you. The studio sports 10 foot high ceilings and large, panoramic ocean views from both the huge 3' x 6' kitchen window and from the 6'x 7' sliding glass patio doors. Its queen-size "wall bed" folds away during the day to optimize space. Although the unit has a room air conditioner, most people prefer to leave the sliding glass doors open and fall asleep listening to the tranquil surf sounds.
Choose the perfect setting for your morning breakfast of tropical fruit. Just outside your door is a tile lanai or a few steps down is your own private sun deck, complete with lounge chairs and table. A hillside of tropical plants, ponds, waterfall and ocean sounds await you.
The owners and live in the main house. Must love cats! This is a multiple cat household they are outdoor cats and never allowed into the guest house. There is convenient driveway parking for your rental car with your own private gated entrance, this studio has it all...Great views and beach front too. This is truly a unique beachfront rental at an affordable rate, not to be missed, so come and share our beautiful little piece of paradise!

Laie Bay retreat for two

We enjoyed our stay very much in this comfortable & handy location. The view of the bay is super, but the walk down to the beach may be too much for anyone with knee problems--many stairs! Everything was clean, useable, & on the newer side. Wonderful kitchen. The listing description & pictures are accurate, and the owners are more than helpful in answering questions & giving local tips. They even provide Boogie Boards! The kitty cats about the property are an added feature for cat lovers; but the cats also know when to disappear. There is a rescued duck who appreciates popcorn too. The whole place is fascinating in its unique tropical style, and we're glad we made the right choice! We could have easily spent our entire time at the North Shore. Also, we highly recommend the activities at the Kuoloa Ranch. They treat you very personally without that "processed" feeling.

Aloha, My husband and I stayed Dec. 26, - Jan. 5, 2012. Ken and Linda were wonderful hosts. We loved every minute we were there. The cats were no bother. I miss Chester. He loved kneading my lap,,he's amazing he doesn't use his claws..Linda Thank you for the gift and the memories. Hukilau cafe was awesome. The temple and BYU campus was lovely. The locals were very friendly and kind. The only down we found was no laundry facilities in the town. The closest was 50 miles south by the Valley of Temples. We enjoyed the beauty of the island along the way.. There are no bad experiences in Hawaii. We highly recommend this studio...Mahlo Ken and Linda.
Owner response:Thank you for your wonderful review and your kind words about Chester, he is indeed an "Ambassador of Aloha". Just one correction please. Unfortunately after 32 years the little laundromat just down the street did finally close their doors. It is a bit of a drive now to the laundromat at Temple Valley however, according to Mapquest it is only 20.3 miles not 50 miles as you noted in your review. Aloha, Linda

My husband and I stayed here this past June for our first big trip. It was AMAZING!!!! Seriously the views were stunning and we had everything we needed and more provided for us. The owners were extremely sweet and helpful! Even when the owners were home it still felt like we had the place to ourselves. The pictures are very accurate and the reviews were spot on. I have recommended this place to tons of friends and family and my husband and I are dreaming about when we can come back! We found the Oahu hot spots to be way too overcrowded and were so glad with the choice we made in staying here. You have three miles of beautiful beach, snorkeling and fun with no crowds. If we had to say one small negative I would say it was the cats. I am a cat lover, but I will admit there were a lot of cats. Most of them scatter when you come by but there are three that are not afraid of people and like attention :). With ALL the other things being so perfect, we could definitely overlook the cats. It was a perfect vacation!!

My wife and I had a wonderful time staying at this property! The view was fantastic. The easy access to the beach was great for morning walks. I love how there is hardly anyone on this beach! We spent a day walking around Wakiki, and quickly realized we are so glad we stayed here in Laie away from all the crowd and noise. The cats are sweet, and we loved how Chester liked to "knead" us before he sat on us. The view at the end of the street is breathtaking. We made sure to always start our day by going to the "Point" to take in the view. Make sure to go to the Hukilau Cafe at least once. Thank you so much for your hospitality!

My husband and I stayed for a week at end of May/first of June and absolutely loved it! The view of the ocean and the night sky was fabulous, and the house sits high enough to let you enjoy a greater view than just the beach. Also nice was that the house is situated in such a way that the north shore winds are buffered on the lanai, making every evening enjoyable. The walk down to the beach was a short one which is allowed for impromptu strolls and swims. The studio itself is compact but contains everything needed for a comfortable stay. Both the inside and exterior grounds were very clean and well-kept, and our hosts were both enjoyable and knowledgeable. The cats were sweet and certainly not a bother - I am allergic but had no issues. We would recommend this studio for anyone looking for a nice, relaxing stay and wanting to soak up the surf, sun and atmosphere. Thanks again Linda and Ken!

My husband and I stayed here for 7 nights 1/1-1/8/10. The studio was more than we ever dreamed. The views were stunning. We had private access to the beach below. The studio had high ceilings which made it seem very roomy. It was spotless clean. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you'd need. The bed was so comfortable we wished we could take it home with us. Listening to the waves crashing on the shore at night was so relaxing. The bathroom is large with a full size closet with plenty of hangers for clothes. We can't say enough good things about the accomodations. If you are an animal lover you'll love the critters in the yard. However, my husband is not an animal lover, but the kitties won him over eventually with their cute furry faces. If you aren't a cat lover no worries. They are not allowed in the studio. They are also very well behaved kitties and were not a bother at all. There's a cute duck named Milly in the backyard too!

I just wanted to add to the other reviews that as a person who is allergic to cats, I didn't think the cats were a big deal. Shoo them away and there is no problem.

My husband and I stayed here Aug. 4-8 of 2006 and loved it. It was very peaceful and beautiful. The hosts were out of town at the time but we still had a wonderful time. We got married while there on Aug. 2, 2006 and spent our honeymoon at this location. I enjoyed snorkling and boogie boarding which was furnished for us. We grilled while looking down at the beach and was able to buy a weeks worth of groceries at the grocery store across the way. The owners allowed us to use the resident card for a discount at the store. They are awesome. Thank you so much. We are now planning our five anniversary for next year but are looking for a place that we can bring our three children with us. We wish we could stay with these owners again. If the owner has any suggestions that would be appreciated. Thank again.

Nice studio, great size for a couple, and easy to get around the North Shore and even the whole eastern side of Oahu. We had a great time with the cats, geckos, and took a moonlight stroll on the beach. We even found a curry house a few minutes north of there! Linda and Ken are very nice and Linda is a good source of knowledge for tourists who are first timers in Hawaii!

Sorry we couldn't stay longer. We came for a friend's wedding on Oahu. The setting was in a quiet neighborhood with the ocean closer than our expectation. I have lovely pictures to remember the view from the kitchen window. Morning walks on the beach were almost solitary. This was a great location for us. Away from the traffic and crowds of Honolulu. It was easy access to villages along the east and north shore. Grocery store and even a movie theater are close. Every detail is considered for the studio. Linda responds quickly to all communication. Chester and his friends were very hospitable. We miss the sound and smell of the ocean (and Ted's Bakery) Aloha and Mahalo.
