Great Place to Stay
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The place is beautiful and the best room is the one upstairs with a view of the ocean. It has a beautifully spacious bathroom with a shower and tub that has a view of the ocean. The AC units in all of the rooms cooled them very well. The loft area with the two twins does an ok job cooling so I'd put children there. It has all the kitchen stuff you will need, plates, cups, glasses, a blender and cooking utensils along with all kinds of pots and pans. The place was very clean and had nice linens and towels. It was a fantastic place to stay. Halwevia was a 10 minute drive and the beaches were maybe a 5 minute drive. We got to see whales breaching from the lani and at Waimea beach we watched the surfers. It was a great time all around.

Amazing Views
This property was absolutely perfect for my family of 8. The house was clean and well stocked. The sleeping arrangements worked out well with two kids, grandparents, parents, and auntie. The best part of the house are the stunning views. The house was close to a swimming and boogie boarding beach. We also loved the distance to the fruit and shave ice stand. The house is close to grocery stores, bakeries, and restaurants. We would rent this house again. Thank you for the amazing vacation!

Another amazing family trip!
Our large family had an absolutely fabulous time! This is our second stay in this group of homes and there is no place better on the North Shore. The views are immaculate! We saw whales and turtles from the lanai. And the neighborhood chickens and cats are pretty awesome too! We will always come back to this spot!!

Fantastic Stay!!
The house and location was perfect for our family’s week long visit! We had 2 seniors, 2 adults and 3 kids. We enjoyed the tide pools on the beach and even got to experience high tide coming in! If you’re looking for a great place to land and spend time relaxing, look no further! Super convenient location to all the tourist stops on the north shore and grocery stores and food trucks! Would love to come again in the coming years!

The view from the lanai and upstairs deck can't be beat. Walking the beach, listening to the waves, watching the sunset - absolute paradise! I would definitely recommend this property to anyone wanting to stay on the north shore.

3-Time Renter
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A reunion with all our kids and grandkids this past July 2024 at Kawela Kai #503 and #501 consisted of 4 families totaling 13 folks. The easy stroll between the 2 houses made it super easy to see each other, spend time on each other’s lanais, barbeque and dine together. The lanai was the best feature with it’s wide expanse and fantastic view of the ocean and sunsets. With eight chairs around the table and ample seating on the bench, all of us could congregate comfortably. The kitchen is well-equipped. Previous renters left various condiments such as salt, pepper, some spices, tea bags, Pam spray, and other dry goods. It’s best to check out the cupboards before you buy anything at the market. The one thing that we found absolutely necessary was to bring or buy a sharp knife/knives! The ones provided were super dull. The front-loading washing machine and dryer were fairly new, full-sized and stacked on each other. Detergent is provided. Salt air takes a toll on beach houses. We contended with hard-to-slide screen doors. Unfortunately for us, new screen doors were installed a day or two after we checked out, but it should benefit future renters. The AC unit in the 2nd floor bedroom in #503 was not working at check-in. We called Celma, our agent at Team Real Estate, who took care of the problem right away. Although it was at the end of her work day on a Friday, she drove to a hardware store, bought a new AC unit and delivered it to our unit. She got a technician to come out the next day to install it. We couldn’t have asked for better service. Celma went above and beyond and we are so grateful for her dedication in meeting her clients’ needs. Thank you, Celma!Note: Summer months bring out the flies! So get a fly swatter and food tents for both indoors and outdoors. Grocery shopping is convenient at Foodland Pupukea--great selection. Food trucks galore along the north shore and in Hale

Everything was amazing from the view to the home itself and everything in between. The location was amazing. Close to everything you could possibly need including amazing snorkeling with sea turtles. Would stay again. Do not hesitate to book this home.

It was a great place for my 4 year old son to spend time with his family. We had nice family dinners on the lanai, explored the tide pools, fished from the rocks, and went out to a few local restaurants. I would stay there again.

Loved the location of the property. Easy to find, located on the beach. Backyard has a great deck and nice grass area with lounges. Down the steps is the beach, which has a small area you can relax in, but most of it it full of lava. Not swimmable, but you can see small crabs and fish and we saw occasional turtles. In the mornings and evenings we sat on the deck and saw the whales going by, splashing as they passed. BBQ was charcoal, so we had to back to the store, which during the day, is a long drive. One downfall is the drive from the property and Haleiwa. It's very congested and takes around 40minutes to go around 10 miles? or less? The property management company is very responsive and came by to replace a blender that was broken immediately. There were an unmanageable amount of flies, which I have never experience on the islands, I have visited over 20 times. Not sure if it was the time of the year or the fact that the house or lanai did not have ceiling fans, which easily deter them. The queen bed in the upstairs bedroom is very squeaky, so that when you turn over it wakes up everyone upstairs. With all of that, I still give it 4 stars as the location was great and the house very nice.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love staying here. Our family had stayed here multiple times and will be back again. The ocean views from this property are stunning. We watched beautiful sunsets from our lanai and listened to the waves crash all day and all night. Collected pretty sea glass during our walks on the beach every morning. It never gets old. The house is spacious with everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. If you want a private house for your family vacation, we highly recommend this spot on the north shore.

Great North Shore Ocean View
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay in #3 was the start of our trip of a lifetime. The house was large, clean and the view was perfect - sunrise, rainbows and beautiful blue waves- from the lanai. The north shore wind was excessive one day and caused a little water to get in by a sliding door. Property management was there in 10 minutes to access the issue and once the wind died down we had no further problems. You can’t beat service like that. Our family would definitely stay at this property again.

Family Vacation 2023
This was our first time visiting Oahu. We usually stay in hotel resorts whenever we visit Hawaii/Maui/Kauai but this time we wanted a new experience. We splurged on a beachfront property hoping for an epic experience. Unfortunately a storm prior to our arrival took out the stairs leading to the beach. I was notified by the rental team just as we were driving from the airport! We were told we could go to their neighboring VRBO to access the beach. That access was a set of stairs that were partially made of concrete and wood stairs but that was partially washed away too. This access was definitely not user friendly as the last 2 steps were a drop of over 3 feet each. This made it impossible for us to access the beach. This was quite frusting to say the least to rent a beachfront property with no access. Other than this unfortunate situation the house and the lanai were great.

Beautiful Views!
We came to the North Shore to celebrate my Mom's 80th Birthday. The property is beautiful - right on the water. We enjoyed the back deck facing the ocean every single day. The property had everything we needed and the location is so covenant. While the home was not the most updated we have stayed in, it was comfortable and and we enjoyed eating inside and out enjoying those views. We had 2 couples and 2 singles and had plenty of room for everyone. Close to Polynesian Cultural Center, 2 grocery stores (note: the one closer to Shark's Cove sells beer, wine, etc...while the other one is in a dry county). We will have wonderful memories of this home and would definitely visit again.
