ALOHA & E KOMO MAI! Hello & Welcome!

Leave the crowds in Waikiki & come to Oahu's windward northshore. Our vacation rental is a cozy and romantic oceanfront cottage. If you want to be close to the water--this is the place! (Warning...we are so close to the water that during high tides you may get splashed by the occasional seaspray.)

Years ago a Hawaiian fisherman and his wife built this charming boathouse on this small point surrounded by coral reef. Much of his free time was spent exploring the abundant reef for fish, eel and octopus. In the late afternoon he would return to his beloved boathouse to enjoy the blue-grey skies and magnificent coastal and mountain views.

Today the boathouse has been refurbished and converted into a cozy, romantic studio cottage. The oceanfront location on this small point gives way to captivating 230 degree panoramic views of the coastline and the Koolau mountain range.

We are right on the ocean, but away from Kamehameha Highway which tends to bustle with traffic. Our location is ideal if you want to explore the northshore and windward coast of Oahu - from Lanikai to Kaena Point.

Accommodations are clean and comfortable with a queen size bed, and a queen size sofa bed, kitchette, dining table, clean private bathroom & shower. There is no charge for the digital telephone which allows for unlimited local and long distance calls through out Hawaii, the U.S. and Canada. Off street parking available for a compact to midsize car. Property is gated for security and privacy.

Additional two bedroom/two bath house is available for extended families. A/C available.

Smoke free property.

  • We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend the Boathouse. We were looking for something quite, peaceful and right on the water to celebrate our 30th anniversary. The Boathouse was perfect for the two of us. We loved having our coffee in the morning and watching the sunrise. The turtles swimming back and forth were really neat to see. We went snorkling at Shark's Bay several times and it was beautiful. We loved feeling the ocean spray at night as we lay in bed. The boathouse was very clean and comfortable. The welcome letter, nuts and wine were a nice surprise. We look forward to coming again with our family and renting both houses.

  • My friends and I rented the Cottage and the Boathouse the week of August 13-18. Darcelle's place was amazing and definitely a perfect getaway from the busy life of Waikiki. The house is literally right by the water and at low tide you can even walk out to the open see and the water will literally be at your ankles. Everything is near by and everything you need is in the house. We used the boogie boards and fins that she had when we went to North Shore. My friends and I are all having Hawaii withdrawals and miss the bright stars we see at night and the sound of the waves and sunrise in the morning when we wake up. Thanks again Darcelle. We also checked out the Hukilau Cafe nearby that she recommended and I give it a two thumbs up for food and setting.

  • JUNE 13-19,2009 We spent our 30th anniversary at the Boathouse, we couldn't have picked a better spot to stay. It was a very private and welcoming place to return to at the end of our many island adventures. We really enjoyed listening and feeling the spray of the waves at night. Early mornings spent watching the turtles swim just outside the windows. How about Papa Ole's great breakfast, and the great people that run it! The Boathouse was just what we had hoped it would be.

  • We called Darcelle just two days before we were flying over for business and a few extra days of fun. We're VRBO vacation owners ourselves in Florida. Darcelle answered the phone and was able to squeeze us in last minute. We got just what we wanted... a nice, clean, casual place right on the water, away from the masses of people in Honolulu. We were able to explore up and down the coast easily and spend time on the North Shore. We even did some serious boogie boarding with the locals on a beach about 1/4 mile from her place...and also ate some of the hottest shrimp i've ever had in my life!! We had a great time and would stay again.

  • My wife and I stayed in the boathouse in January for a week and loved it. It is so peaceful, away from Waikiki which is what we wanted. Hearing the ocean every night was great(you do have to close the windows, got splashed one night, felt good actually). Darcelle is a great host,who will answer any question you may have. Close to all the spots you want to see on the North Shore. Will stay again, no question.

  • Thank you Darcelle and Mike for a wonderful stay in a most beautiful place. About the only requirements we had when we came to Oahu was that it be quiet and that we could hear and see the ocean at all times. Your boathouse met this and much more. You folks are wonderful hosts and this place was perfect. After reading all the other comments there is not much more to add, except to say that we wholeheartedly agree! I know that when we come back this place will be at the top of our list for a place to stay, but we will surely have to plan ahead. The roar of the ocean is just fantastic along with the steady breezes makes for a wonderful night's sleep. Thanks again!

  • To all those looking for a a great experience on Oahu, this is it. Not only does the house have everything you will need but Darcelle is the absolute best at ideas and suggestions. She is better than any concierge I have ever used. Listen to her suggestions, they are wonderful. She goes above and beyond to help make your trip special. The home is located along the Eastern side of the island in a little town called Hauula. You're between the North Shore and Kaneohe. The views from your window are just beautiful. There are chairs outside to sit on and watch the sun rise. She has all towells, beach mats, boogie boards and ice chests for you to use. We will stay here again but next time we will probably use both houses!! Thank you again Darcelle, we had a wonderful time thanks to you!

  • VRBO Property #68291 - We split our time in Oahu staying 3 nights on the North Shore at the Boathouse, and 3 nights at a condo in Waikiki area. Being our first trip, we wanted to experience a little of everything. It worked well, but for any future trip we would probably just stay on the north shore - at Darcelle's cottage or boathouse. We were in the boathouse 3 nights. It is comfortable for 2 and clean, clean, clean. The location is just a few miles from the Polenesian Cultural Center. Darcelle kindly lent their GPS which she'd already coded for favorite restaurants, sightseeing, etc. It helped to make the most of our time. We appreciated the helpful, but non-intrusive manner of our host. Aloha! John and Linda

  • We have been fortunate enough to be able to stay in both of the properties listed (the cottage as well as the boat house) and were more than just pleased with both. The boat house was perfect for the two of us. And the cottage is awesome! Both properties are well appointed, very clean and comfortable. The cottage looks like a model home. YOu don't need to pack a lot - we over packed and ended up mailing some stuff home - because the washer and dryer are there for you to use - The picures on the web site do not do these homes justice. Darcelle and her husband are great hosts and represent the true "Aloha" spirit of the islands well. They are helpful but never intrusive! I grew up in the islands so when we come to visit I am looking for a place to call "home". I am not at all interested in the glitz and crowds of Waikiki. I want to relax and hear the ocean and experience home as an escape from the stresses of mainland life. These properties allowed me to do that. We have friends and family that we could stay with, but these homes allowed us to come and go as we pleased on our own time, without a schedule and without inconveniencing anyone. The homes are well equipped and are located in a friendly, quiet, safe neighborhood. Darcelle also provided boogie boards and snorkel equipment as well as water shoes and sunscreen! The ocean is literally steps away. We saw turtles grazing on the reef every morning while experiencing the most beautiful sunrises you will ever see. And, the sounds of the waves at night lull you to the best sleep you can imagine. Although the homes are located away from the crowds, everything we needed was conveniently located. Tamura's grocery store is within walking distance. They have reasonably priced food and other basics as well as a great selection of wine. L&L BBQ (mmm plate lunches), Domino's pizza, a seafood restraunt and a post office are within walking distance as well. When we started the process of looking for a home to stay in on our vacation, it was very overwhelming and a little scary not knowing exactly what we were getting for our money. But we struck gold with these homes - Darcelle called us personally and ther rest is history - what you see is what you get and more! In the future I refuse to stay anywhere else. Thanks Darcelle - it was the best birthday EVER! See you soon! Aloha, Carrie and Roy
