Location: Sunset Beach, North Oahu, Oahu, Hawaii, USA (50 minutes from Honolulu)
Accommodations: Oceanfront Home, 2 Bedrooms, 1 Bath (Sleeps 4)
Our oceanfront home, Kawela Kai, is located on the North Shore of Oahu in between Sunset Beach and the Turtle Bay Resort. The stretch of beach where we are located is beautifully secluded and uncrowded. The beach is protected by a coral reef.
The house is an air conditioned, cozy, two-bedroom, single-family home with it's own yard. It is furnished with a fully-equipped kitchen and all linens. There is one queen and two single beds. The single beds can be made into a king if needed, complete with the special foam piece and king sheets. For your convenience, we offer wireless internet access.
The house has a lovely covered lanai for protection from the sun or if you are a sun lover, there is a nice grassy area between the house and the ocean where you can soak up the sun. During the winter months and early spring, you may have the opportunity to see the humpback whales that migrate from Alaska. If the surf is not too high, you can see the whales breathing and breaching right from the lanai. Other wildlife may be seen from the lanai; such as turtles, rays, and the occasional surfer.
There is a washer and dryer available for your use during your stay. We have a small collection of books, games, and a few videos that you are welcome to use. As with many oceanfront homes on the North Shore, we are located on the road that goes around the island, so the bedrooms may experience some traffic noise at different times of the day.
The house sits about 18' above the beach. Access to the beach is down steps in the sea wall. Directly in front of the house is a flat rocky surface with sandy beach to the right and the left. Access to the water directly in front of the house is over a flat rock/coral shelf.
You may swim, snorkel, and surf in front of the house during the months from late spring through early fall, but because we are on the North Shore, when the surf is up it is not safe for inexperienced swimmers just about anywhere on the North Shore.
During the winter months, the powerful awesome big surf on the North Shore is tremendously exciting to watch. We are located two miles from Sunset Beach, three miles from Pipeline, and five miles from Waimea Bay. These three beaches are world famous for the large surf and surfing competitions. Even if you do not surf, it is exhilarating to watch!
We are located ten miles from historic Haleiwa town which offers a variety of shops and restaurants. We are about a mile from the championship golf courses at the Turtle Bay Resort.
In case you are not familiar with Hawaiian words, the "w" in Kawela is pronounced as a "v".
