At Hale Ho’onanea, the House of Relaxation, discover your peaceful retreat, discover your kid inside, discover romance, and discover you. Set on 85 feet of private, pristine white sand beach, this clean, exceptionally well-appointed home offers classic, Hawaiian country living. This cozy and warm traditional Hawaiian beach cottage is centrally located in Punaluu, between Kailua Town and Historic Haleiwa Town, on the Windward side of Oahu. With its perfect location, Hale Ho’onanea offers a full compliment of diverse activities conveniently located nearby. Experience one of the island’s best kept secrets for yourself.
Wake up early to be rewarded with a perfect Hawaiian sunrise directly in front of your private beach. Comfortable tradewinds and incredible coral reefs encourage you to take in a memorable snorkel or an easy paddle in the two-person ocean kayak. Relax on the cozy lanai with your favorite book and enjoy the sounds of the exotic tropical birds and the tradewinds blowing through the towering palm trees.
Just steps from the inviting Pacific Ocean, let the soothing sounds of the waves wash away any remaining stress. As the sun passes behind the majestic Ko’olau Mountains, just yards behind the house, relax in one of the beachside lounge chairs, with your favorite beverage, and toast to a perfect day at Hale Ho’onanea.
Many new upgrades abound throughout the interior of the house. Exotic, solid bamboo flooring from China was installed just over a year ago. Improvements in the kitchen include: a new glass top range, refrigerator, washer and dryer. There are new remote controlled, split air conditioning units in each bedroom, as well as two remote controlled ceiling fans, one in the family room and one in the kitchen.
Each bathroom has newly installed toilets and sink fixtures. After a fun day of play in the surf and sand, rinse off in the outdoor shower. For entertainment there is a DVD home theater with surround sound in the Family Room.
Each bedroom in Hale Ho’onanea offers a spacious, peaceful environment to relax and get a restful night’s sleep. The Master Bedroom has a pillow-top queen bed, large dresser, hanging closet, single daybed/reading couch, CD player with alarm clock and a large picture window which looks directly out to the ocean. Open the bamboo blinds before you go to bed and let the morning sunrise be your wake-up call. Close the blinds in the afternoon, set your ideal temperature with the remote controlled A/C, place a soothing Hawaiian CD in the stereo and slip blissfully into a paradise nap.
Perfect for two little ones, the “Sky” bedroom, Ke Aouli, has two single beds, two large windows looking out to the ocean and up to the mountains as well as remote controlled air conditioning. The “Coral” bedroom, Ako’ako’a, has a full size pillow-top bed, windows looking up to the majestic Ko’olau Mountains, remote controlled air conditioning and a half bath.
Let your friends and family know just how much fun you are having with access to high-speed, wireless internet throughout the house. Make reservations at a local restaurant or sign up for surfing lessons with the free, “local call” phone service. If quality time alone with the family is a must, then prepare a delicious meal in the fully stocked kitchen and eat outside on the backyard patio, just feet from the ocean. With a teak wood table and chairs, umbrella and a fire pit, enjoy a truly unique experience right along the beach.
Hale Ho’onanea sits on the northeastern side of the island of Oahu, in the rustic fishing village of Punaluu. It is centrally located just 45 minutes away from Honolulu International Airport, Waikiki an Kailua Town. Classic Hawaiian country living best describes this area of the island.

I can finally write Aloha without feeling like a dork!! Kerry we had such a wonderful time at your home in Hawaii - how did you ever leave???!! It was a fantastically well appointed space and far exceeded our expectations. I couldn't believe how many towels you had - hehe! It was perfect. The most wonderful experience was showering outdoors - the weirdest most exhilarating experience for people from Canada that are used to being covered 24/7. I wanna be Hawaiian when I grow up!! All of us were scanning the newspapers to see if we could find jobs there. The locals were fantastic. Just down the street we were taking to the people who owned the market and they heard we were from Canada. Turns out they visited the Rocky Mountains situated 2 hours from where we live! Small world. Can't say enough. about the locals - they were awesome!! Really weird how some gas stations didn't have bathrooms. Another cool thing was how they served rice at Mcdonalds - being filipino it was very appreciated but odd nonetheless. LOVED LnL Drive Inn - food was fabulous. Favorite beach close to the house was Wamanea Beach (I think I spelled it right.......) Took some getting used to the pace of life the locals had. I've already referred a couple of people to your house and I strongly discourage people from resorting it in Waikiki - this was definitely the way to go. We will absolutely book you again next time. Many mahalos!!! Gerry Liggayu

Aloha Kerry, Melissa and I would like to extend our sincere thanks to you for sharing your wonderful little beach house. It afforded us the opportunity to enjoy our anniversary in a hidden oasis. Your home is adorable and you can't beat the view. You thought of every need or desire a renter could have when vacationing. We used the kayaks everyday and the kitchen every night. We felt very comfortable and safe during our stay. And thanks again for the surfing and diving recommendations we took advantage of both. Your home is now on our list for definite returns. Sincerely, Adam & Melissa Rivera

Hi Kerry, We had such a wonderful time at your place. What a great place! My son actually cried on Monday when we had to go home. Our kids felt like they were at home there. Thanks again, you've made our vacation extremely memorable and we will be visiting again next spring, staying at your place of course. Thanks again! Christine

Kerry, Our vacation was awesome and the house is amazing! I always thought the house was beautiful on the internet, but now that we have stayed there, it is just the perfect little jewel on a patch of paradise. Everything went really well and I didn't run into any problems. Thanks again for letting us stay at your amazing house. All the guests commented on what a great house it was and they all had a really great time. It really worked out as a perfect place because the kids could play on the beach and in the yard while the parents relaxed. The bonfire was a big hit, too. All the firewood was already placed on the firepit itself so that was pretty cool, I didn't have to do anything. There was plenty more wood on the rocks right there, anyway. Good luck with your wonderful Hale and thank you again, Take care, Juliet
