About this property
Waipuna Hale: Oceanfront Cottage w/Panoramic Views, Yard, & Private Beach Access
Waipuna Hale is a vintage oceanfront cottage set on a private estate in Laie, along Oahu’s fabled North Shore. With panoramic coastline views, an expansive yard, and breezy open-air living, this two-bedroom, two-bath retreat honors its heritage while offering a relaxed island rhythm. Originally built with traditional Hawaiian craftsmanship, the home remains true to its original design—wood-paneled interiors, vaulted ceilings, and the easy flow of ocean breezes through wide sliding doors. From the moment you step inside, you’re surrounded by the sound of waves and the calm of a simpler era.
What You’ll Love About Waipuna Hale
• Oceanfront setting with sweeping views of the North Shore coastline
• Expansive lawn with seasonal private beach access via a gated path
• Two separate ocean-view primary suites for privacy and comfort
• Open-air great room with vaulted ceilings and full kitchen
• Historic home once frequented by Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz
Living & Dining
Gather in the open-concept great room where wood finishes and vaulted ceilings create warmth and nostalgia. The living area flows seamlessly to the lanai through glass doors, framing stunning ocean views. A six-seat dining table welcomes family-style meals, board games, or evening conversation beneath the rafters.
Chef-Ready Kitchen
A fully equipped kitchen features stainless-steel appliances, refrigerator, oven, stove, dishwasher, and all necessary cookware. Prepare island-inspired meals or simple breakfasts before a day at the beach.
Outdoor Oasis
Step outside to your grassy oceanfront lawn and lanai—perfect for reading, relaxing, or taking in the sound of the surf. The property’s open design invites the trade winds through every space, naturally cooling the home and connecting you to the rhythm of the sea.
