We cannot emphasize enough how much we loved staying right on the water in Hauula. The house was perfect for our family of four (me, da wife, and two teenage keikis). While the kids were very happy to have their own room, we can easily imagine two more folks being comfortably added to the mix. The ac units and ceiling fans in the bedrooms were fantastic and the beds were super comfortable. The big kitchen was so great, and stocked with whatever we needed including coffee machine and rice cooker…the two must haves for this fam. The big living room area was nice to have too but we really didn’t spend much time in there. Most of our time was spent in the back yard either watching some of the most spectacular sunrises you will ever see, or stargazing all while listening to the waves gently roll in and roll out.
I have a lot of family in Oahu so it isn’t new to us, but this is the first time we have stayed in the Hauula area and we felt right at home. Loved the slower country vibe far away from the hustle of Honolulu. We spent a good amount of time in nearby Laie, Hukilau Beach was the first beach we hit up the day we landed and we ended up back there several times. Kahuku, where we did zip lining and had some great meals, is also not too far from Haaula, and in the other direction, Kualoa ranch was another excursion that was epic for us.
Again, we loved everything about our stay in Hauula and we hope to stay at this beautiful house again sometime soon.
