Location: Kawela, North Oahu, Oahu, Hawaii, USA (45 Minutes from Honolulu Airport, on the famous North Shore)
Accommodations: Residential Home, 7 Bedrooms + Sunroom, 5.5 Baths (Sleeps 16)
We are offering our home, only a few times a year, to be enjoyed by other families. We are not your typical beach vacation rental!
Our home was built in 1910, the oldest home on the famous North Shore; It was originally built by the owner of the local sugar mill as a retreat for the plantation supervisors and special guests. We sit right on the sand in private and beautiful Kawela Bay, 1 mile from the Turtle Bay Resort. This is the only home in Kawela Bay that is located so close to the water. It is the crown jewel of Kawela Bay.
The property consists of two homes. It is perfect for several families to share, as it will sleep up to 16 people. Perfect for a family reunion!
The original cottage is quaint and charming. When we moved here, I told the realtor that I wanted something that represented "old Hawaii". When he showed us this home, I knew it was the one. This home had been in the previous owner's family for years and years, and will be in our family for generations. It is the kind of home that is a treasure, and we feel blessed each morning when we watch the sun rise from our bedroom windows.
The main cottage has a master bedroom with a queen bed, another bedroom with two twin beds and another daybed in the sunroom, should you need it. The dining table seats 10 easily and we've pulled up chairs for many more. The kitchen is charming and warm. This is not a modern "state of the art" fancy set up.
It is for those families who wish to live from the heart. This is a comfortable and cozy family home.
About 30 feet from the original house is another cottage. This was built for our children and grandchildren when they come to visit. The cottage has 6 bedrooms, 3 baths. Three of those rooms have bunkbeds. The upper floor of the cottage is where my art table is located... which works well for a dining table, and is furnished with a sofa, chairs, an armoire set-up with a tv and stereo, and a small refrigerator and microwave. This isn't a full kitchen as there is no stove or oven. This cottage is a great place for people to sleep and for children to play and when our extended family is here, we gather together to eat in the main cottage.
Please note: the "surfer's quarters" shown at the bottom of the page of the additional photos of our property, is not available for use.
Kawela Bay is a private gated community. The North Shore is considered "country" and on your drive to our home, you will pass black and white cows and many sheep. When you enter the gate, at Kawela Bay, you will turn down a country dirt road and you will begin to feel like you have stepped back in time. Like you are coming home.
We have kayaks here for your use.
Kawela Bay is as perfect a bay as you would ever wish for! It is 1/2 a mile long, in a beautiful crescent shape. The bay is safe for swimming, year around ( even during the large surf in the winter time ) as it is protected by a reef. You can kayak on the waves that break on that reef, or just float on the kayaks or rafts, and commune with the sea turtles that call our bay their home.
You can rent paddle boards in Haleiwa, which is about 20 minutes from us. This is a perfect place to paddle board.
We have a fabulous forest of banyan trees just down the beach that offers a beautiful walk to the Turtle Bay Resort, should you wish to have breakfast, lunch or dinner there...or play golf on their famous golf course.
It is not necessary to ever leave Kawela, and you will find that the outside world just disappears, when you are here, and only beauty and harmony exist.
We feel that it is a rare opportunity, and a privilege, to call this place our home, and we are willing to share this piece of paradise. If you have any questions, please send us an email, and we can talk more about it.
Until then, we send you sweet aloha breezes. Mahalo!
