Paradise is BEACHFRONT on the Northeast Shore/Ka‘a’awa

This is Hawaii as you dreamed… this spectacular oceanfront Polynesian cottage must be seen to be believed. Located between Turtle Bay Resort and Kaneohe Bay on the northeast shore of Oahu this stretch of pristine white sand beach is enfolded in the arms of the Koolau Mountain range, and stretches 300 feet before you reach another home.

This home is completely rebuilt, a beautifully appointed one bedroom, one bath plantation style home features a folding door system that opens the entire front of the home to the dining deck that is inches from the sea. The tropical living area is enhanced by a stunning woven bamboo ceiling with ceiling fans. Take a moonlight swim and shower in comfort in our outdoor hot water shower, under the stars.

There is one double pune'e (Hawaiian style sofa/sleeping daybed) and a single pune'e in the living area, and a king in the bedroom complete with feather bed for maximum comfort. We can accommodate two singles in the bedroom upon request.

All linens for the kitchen, bedroom, bath and beach are supplied as well as a nice compliment of amenities such as soaps, shampoos,etc. There is a washer/dryer on the property for your use.

The fully equipped kitchen has beautiful granite countertops, new appliances, and is fully stocked with cooking and serving pieces and kitchen appliances as well as spices and general use refrigerator items.

The view from the deck is a sight to behold through the coconut trees to one of Oahu’s most identifiable historic landmarks, Chinaman’s Hat Island. This site is where the great Polynesian Voyaging canoe, Hokule'a, was first launched in 1976, proving that the Polynesians did indeed navigate by the stars from the South Pacific, first reaching the Sandwich Islands (Hawaii) from over 2400 miles around 400 AD.

Can we describe our beach that stretches the length of a football field in one direction and in the other you can walk several miles through Kualoa State Park to the site of a huge ancient Hawaiian fishpond. Watch spectacular sunrises from the deck, sunbathe on the beach or watch the divers and fishermen and perhaps try your hand at “catching dinner local style”. You can see turtles, rays and the occasional surfer from the deck or snorkel in our coral preserve.

Right in front of the house is a lovely "menehune" fish pond which is a delight to everyone, especially to the little ones at low tide.

The atmosphere is country, but you are close to restaurants and conveniences, and 30 minutes from Honolulu. Located minutes away from world famous North Shore attractions such as the Hauula hiking trails, the Polynesian Cultural Center, Turtle Bay Resort and Golf Course, Sunset Beach, Waimea Bay and the last unspoiled Hawaiian style towns on Oahu. A little inside information for you golfers … the nearby Kuhuku Golf Course where half the holes on this municipal course have an ocean view starts at $20 for green fees and it goes down from there!

Directly across the street is the 4,000 acre, magnificent Kualoa horse ranch offering trail rides, jungle tours and Paniolo (Hawaiian) BBQ’s, or just visit the beautiful horses at your back door. The ranch has been the site of many movies including "Jerrasic Park" and "King Kong". You can see this stunning property on the ranch movie tours.

As with many oceanfront homes, the road that circles the island is located behind the house and may provide some traffic noise at different times of the day.

E KOMO MAI (You're welcome) We look forward to seeing you soon...
ALOHA
SEE YOU IN PARADISE

Why the Owner Chose Kaaawa

I was driving around the island with visitors and we spotted a "For Sale" sign on the beach. ...ONE STEP on the sand and we were awestruck by the incredible beauty of KUALOA!
The sacred legend of these mountains... Hawaiian warriors always tip their paddles as they go by KUALOA as this is where their great chiefs (Ali'i) are buried.
THIS IS THE PLACE, PARADISE!

The Unique Benefits at this House

PARADISE is located almost exactly in the center of the island, and although you are close to stores, restaurants, Kaneohe town and all the creature comforts, you are across the street from Kualoa Ranch, a 4,000 acre working cattle and excursion ranch.
K'a'a'awa is "being in the country" for "locals" because it has that special relaxed Hawaiian feeling. You can easily reach almost anywhere on the island from PARADISE as it is about halfway between the North Shore and Waikiki. Guests say that they have to force themselves to get out and see the sights because nothing compares to their experience in PARADISE!

 

Owner's Map of Kaaawa

I am a Keiki O Ka Aina, translated as a child of this land as my ancestories migrated here from the South Pacific centries ago and became the first native people. I have a history with this unimaginably beautiful site as my Grandfather and Great grandfather before him fished here.
The feeling of PARADISE is ohana(family)beauty, music and warmth. You will almost be able to hear the sounds of my Hawaiian trio, KUALIOA (the name for this area)as we play music by the sea. You will relax, be refreshed and feel you belong here and never want to leave. Coming back will feel like coming home... E Komo Mai (Welcome)

    • Thanks so much for sharing your piece of Paradise with the rest of us! We found your beautiful cottage a great place to unwind for 3 nights before joining our cruise. We spent our days snorkeling, walking on the beach, and listening to the local Hawaiian radio station. We took some really good pictures of your cottage that I've posted to my flickr page (simply search under people for Tina's Flickr page). You'll see that we saw some beautiful fish just steps away from your cottage. Thanks for the tip about the grocery store and Haleiwa Joe's in Kaneohe. We had everything we needed. Thanks again!

    • We spent only 2 days in PARADISE while waiting to go on cruise, and loved it! The view of the mountains and Pacific are breathtaking.

    • We just returned from vacation and are already 'homesick' for this absolutely lovely cottage. Teenage girls are fussy, but both my 14 and 17 year old daughters were in heaven. Hana has created a tropical haven in a gorgeous location, and she supplies everything you could possibly need. We would have done more sightseeing had we not been so reluctant to leave this unbelievably beautiful property. After 8 days here, we took another 6 days on the Big Island and Maui, but my daughters were never as happy as they were here. My husband saw four sea turtles while snorkeling, my daughters visited with the horses hanging their heads over the fence at Kualoa Ranch across the street, and on the morning of our last day a spectacular rainbow stretched across the mountains behind the house. We have hundreds of stunning photos capturing views from the house at dawn, midday, and sunset, and many happy memories. The sight of the full moon shimmering on the water and the twinkling lights of Kaneohe Bay in the distance will stay with me forever. Hana, thank you for your hospitality and this extraordinary cottage.

    • We loved our week long stay at this wonderful beach house. The views all around were spectacular and the location was perfect for venturing out to the North Shore, Honolulu or just anyplace at all on the island. We rented kayaks to use at the house and had a blast each day paddling to Chinaman's Hat, out to the surf and along the coast. We enjoyed each morning walking the beach to see what the tide brought in and my collection of sea glass & shells are my most treasured souvenirs of our entire trip! We miss Hawaii (it's so beautiful with a laid back feel) and this beach house is true paradise! We hope to return. Thank You Marillyn

    • Absolutely beautiful place to spend part of our vacation. Wish we could have stayed longer. The location is perfect to see all parts of the island, but far enough from the busy areas. Our only feedback would be to close the doors before dusk. We learned the hard way that the mosquitos can be tough. Thank you Hana for a great experience.

    • Dear Hana, Where do I begin? Your place is great. The location is great. The weather was great. Your beach cottage was truly "Paradise" in Paradise. The sunrises every morning were truly spectacular and I never missed one of them. Thank you for all the "extras" too like the snorkeling equipment, beach and lounge chairs, towels, soaps and so many more amenities that are usually not provided when renting a vacation home. Actually, the cottage alone was more than enough. My family and friends are in awe of my pictures taken from your cottage. I look forward to coming back to "Paradise" and hopefully it will be in the very near future. Thank you for everything Hana. It was truly a fantastic vacation. Mahalo Rich Y. Conshohocken, PA

    • Bringing my wife of 30 years to Hawaii and having the opportunity to spend a week in Paradise was truly a heavenly experience. Awaking to the beautiful sunrises and going to sleep at night in the open air with the sounds of the surf and the cool trade winds blowing was absolutely indescribable. Anyone who is looking for the experience of a lifetime should come to Paradise. I promise - you will never regret it.
