Aloha,

Thank you for considering Sunset Hale!

In compliance with the city guidelines regarding vacation rentals in our area, this property is rented once per 30 days. Please contact us directly regarding your requested dates, and to reserve your stay, as calendar dates do not reflect 100% accurate availability.

The "hale" is nestled in a beautiful country neighborhood and is a relaxing place to stay while you enjoy the North Shore. Situated privately, on the bottom 1/3 of our family's acre, with mountains rising behind and farm animals adding to the rural landscape. In this setting, it's hard to imagine that the world's most beautiful and pristine beaches are literally, just down the road. WORLD-RENOWNED SUNSET BEACH IS A THREE MINUTE WALK, and more than 20 other world premier surfing spots are just minutes away, including Banzai Pipeline and Waimea Bay. Spectacular and magnificent beaches abound on the North Shore . . . all awaiting your exploration.

Our cottage was lovingly built, in 2008, to be enjoyed by family and friends like you. This stand-alone bungalow was designed for island living with an open floor plan and high beamed ceiling. A large central skylight allows you to watch the stars at night while lying in the comfort of your California King sized bed. Smooth, cool lava rock covers the floors, and stunning 'island style' and Southeast Asian furnishings, help you to know you have arrived in Hawaii.

After a day in the sun, you can rinse off in one of two showers: An INDOOR marble & lava oversized walk-in shower, or a large, private OUTDOOR shower. Evenings can be spent lounging on the covered lanai, barbecuing and dining alfresco, or relaxing inside, watching the 46-inch flat-screen TV. If you desire a more active nightlife, Haleiwa town offers restaurants, bars, and entertainment.

There are numerous fabulous eating options on the North Shore: A scenic, 15 minutes, drive in either direction offers a sumptuous variety of local, international, or resort cuisine. Locally grown fruit and vegetable stands are just down the road. Ted's Bakery is just around the corner (Chocolate Haupia Pies!). We also have a delightful grocery store, Foodland (complete with Coffee Bean & Tea), which is just 10 minutes away.

The tree-lined bike and walking path across the street makes the Saturday Farmers Market a fun and easy walk or ride. Luscious tropical fruits, flowers, and local artwork are plentiful. Historic Haleiwa town, an old whaling village, has become a shopper's paradise and restaurant-lovers delight, yet it still maintains its old town charm.

Every conceivable water activity is easily available to you here: Surfing, Sunbathing, Diving, Snorkeling, Tide Pools, Whale Watching, Fishing, Jet Skiing, and more. Lessons are available for anyone with a desire to learn.

In addition to exploring the magnificent beaches, there are countless activities for the energetic visitor. Fabulous hiking trails, including the beautiful scenic walk to Waimea Falls. Other must-sees for the active visitor are Waimea Bay, Polynesian Cultural Center, Haleiwa Town, Turtle Bay Resort with its Arnold Palmer-designed golf course, ocean-view spa, and horseback riding.

The winter months bring added excitement when the waves swell to huge proportions and pro surfers from all over the world assemble to compete in the Triple Crown of Surfing. This is a fabulous spectator sport not to be missed if you are fortunate enough to visit during this time. You can always find sheltered beaches and smaller waves to enjoy the water if the huge ones 'aren't your thing'.

Looking forward to having you as a guest!
