About this property
Waialea Bay Beachfront Home with AC
Charming coastal craftsmanship meets serene, private beachfront living. Set amid mature tropical plantings, Ulu Niu offers a tranquil, two-story retreat that captures refreshing coastal breezes in a stylish and intimate setting. The home’s thoughtful craftsmanship shines through oak floors, rich redwood paneling, and custom koa shelving, all complemented by artwork from local artists—creating an authentic and thoughtfully maintained Hawaiian escape.
Elevated, light-filled gathering spaces with ocean views. Upstairs features a vaulted living area and open-plan kitchen with new countertops—perfect for cooking, lounging, and sunset views. The upstairs also houses two spacious bedrooms, each with King beds, air conditioning, and comfortable access to a full bathroom with a tub/shower combo.
Flexible and accessible living with a private downstairs wing. A separate downstairs bedroom, reachable via outdoor stairs off the carport, includes a Queen and Twin bed setup, AC, and an attached bathroom complete with washer/dryer—ideal for guests seeking separation and versatility.
Seamless beach access and private outdoor amenities. Guests enjoy direct access to a sandy beach via a gated path, along with an outdoor hot-and-cold shower—ideal for rinsing off after morning surf or snorkeling.
The home includes split AC units in all bedrooms and living spaces, a full kitchen with modern appliances, Wi-Fi, Smart TV, washer/dryer, BBQ grill, beach chairs, cooler, towels, travel crib, and more—ensuring both comfort and convenience amid relaxation.
Consistently praised by returning guests: Ulu Niu has been celebrated for its easy beach access, clean and stocked kitchen, and serene lanai. Guests describe falling asleep to ocean waves, enjoying peaceful whale-watching views, and appreciating the balance of privacy and beachfront proximity. One review noted: “a home with a welcoming environment, private and yet right on the beach,” while another described walking out the gate and stepping onto the beach as “an amazing feeling.”
