Hawaii 5-0 recently filmed here (DEC 2010) Mountains, valley, and a ranch next door and the Pacific Ocean surfing beach just across the road!
Located on Oahu's east shores, next to Kualoa Ranch, Hale Kaaawa offers a views of the Pacific Ocean and spectacular views of Kaaawa Valley and mountains. During the early evening, you can view the pink clouds of the sunset over the mountains. The morning brings a vibrant sunrise you can view from your private deck.
This house is located in a secluded area that affords complete privacy. The property and surrounding area have the feel of Old Hawaii and appear to have stood still in time. Tall trees sway in the breeze, as you stroll the beach across the narrow country road. The main front deck allows you a spectacular view of the Pacific Ocean and the majestic mountains and valley as your backyard.
If you want a flavor of the real Hawaii, you have it here! You may even be lucky enough to see an occasional whale during whale season, Turtles also frequent the area and you may catch glimpses of them close to shore.

Extremely disappointed with condition and maintenance
Aloha thank you for taking the time to write a review. I would like to clear up some issues. The septic tank has always been covered. there is no foul smell coming from it. not sure what you were smelling (no other guests has talked about a smell) This property is on a biweekly pest control and has never had rat. Ants do show up due to guests leaving food on counters. Yes we are in the process of getting the back kitchen door rehung.
lights:yes there were some lights out however the situation was addressed when told. (extra bulbs are kept at the property)
outlets: yes there was an area in the living room that we covered the outlets with baby plugs so no one would use it. This problem has since been fixed.
I was not aware that the tank was low downstairs ( there is no gauge on it) how ever was quickly replaced when told. We try our best to fix any problems that come up right away. I am sorry this guest did not have a good stay.
Worst part of our trip
As always I appreciate those that take the time to submit a review. However I was very surprised to receive a negative review ( our first) As you can see by the other reviews we do pride ourselves in a 5 star property. I am the property manager and live next door. I was in constant communication with this guest. None of these issues were brought to my attention other than the broken microwave. I did buy another one and offered to drop it off but they said they were fine with using the downstairs kitchen one. I got an email on check out day from the guest saying what a great time they had. Nothing negative about their stay at the property.
In response to these issues, correct this property does not have AC and its stated in the website. Most homes in Hawaii near the beach do not have AC because the salt air will rust them quickly. Plus we do have trade winds that help keep things cool. This has been a crazy month with 3+ hurricane storms that brought heat, and rain. This property is on a pest
control plan ( we do live in the tropics and some times we get unwelcome guests) bottom line I wish these concerns from the guest were brought to my attention so I could make their stay more enjoyable. It is sad that someone can say something nice to your face and yet write a negative review.
Great location
"Really nice house in a great location."

thanx for taking the time to write a review of this property. I am glad you enjoyed your stay. I as a property manager try my best to make sure our guests are happy and the house is in order. However I wanted to stress that the beach across the street is great for walks, swimming,surfing,boogie boarding and for snorkeling. Directly out front of the property is more for snorkeling. We hope to have you back.
