About this property

Recently Update Home!Quiet Beach Community! Come to the Country & Escape Crowds!

Leave the city behind, escape the crowds! Breath the fresh ocean air from our large ocean view lanai! The home was renovated just a couple years ago and has been well maintained every since. Everything is like new, including furniture and kitchen items.

Leave the hustle and bustle of Honolulu and Waikiki behind you, and come stay in the country, where you will find the "Real Hawaii"! Relax in the clean fresh air on our spacious deck overlooking the ocean where you may spot a whale frolicking in the crystal blue pacific ocean. Listen to the sounds of the soothing surf in the distance to hush you to sleep at night. Enjoy barbequing dinner with your family and friends at the end of your day, and cheers to your fun filled memories that you made that day.

Our home is located in the lovely quaint family oriented neighborhood of Kaaawa, just 1 block away from Swanzy Beach Park. Kaaawa is just a 1 hour drive to Honolulu and Waikiki, and about 45 minutes to all the famous surf spots on the North Shore such as Waimea Bay, Sunset Beach, and Pipeline. The Polynesian Cultural Center is just 10 minutes away.

This is a 30 day (and more) stay vacation rental.

Please feel free to email with any questions.

Perfect Christmas week!

It was a great stay for one week over Christmas. The house is very nice and the location perfect for any activities. Sandra is a very welcoming host, check-in instructions very clear, communication quick and friendly. The house itself perfect for three of us. All is very clean, nice terrace, big property, 5 min to the ocean. Highly recommended. We definitely will book again, coming to the island.

Hawaiian Beach House

The house was perfect for us. The rooms were clean and the house was very assessable. There is a short walk to the beach from the house. Overall we enjoyed our time staying at the house.

Great experience

Very accurate description of the location and property. It really is a two minute walk to the beach. Loved the lanai! Suggestions: clean or replace the shower curtain. Need a bigger kitchen trash can and more trash bags.

Absolutely Amazing!

Our family of four absolutely loved it here. This was our first trip to Hawaii and I'm so glad we chose to stay here on the other side of the island away from Honolulu. It's much less busy with a relaxed island vibe here. We spent the majority of our trip around this area, North Shore and Laie. The distance from Kaaawa was great. The beaches in the area were fantastic. The house was excellent. Super clean and a wonderful view out the back balcony. Being able to watch the amazing sunrises were a bonus. Sandra was so good with communication and gave us some great recommendations for food, beaches, and where we could watch fireworks for the fourth of July. We found ourselves at Ke Iki beach more than any other beach. We hit the Sunrise Shack a few times for a quick breakfast. Laniakea Beach was great to see the turtles and Waimea Bay was beautiful which was also close to Shark's Cove for some great snorkeling. The house is really close to Kualoa Ranch. If you get the Oahu Go City pass, you can take advantage of some great activities there and across the island. For food in the area, Kaya's Kitchen, Waiahole Poi Factory, Seven Brothers and Da Bald Guy will not disappoint. Kono's North Shore, Hale'iwa Beach House, Matsumoto's and Aoki's shave ice were top notch. All-in-all, next time we go back, we will definitely look at staying here again. THANK YOU!!

beach cottage

The property was exactly as described, in a lovely local neighbourhood. The lanai was a perfect place to sit with breakfast in the mornings, with a great ocean breeze. Quiet beaches nearby, with fantastic beaches a short drive away., with a hike in the mountains just behind the property as well. Sandra and her husband were fantastic hosts and I look forward to coming back here again!

Absolute Gem

We loved this home! The house itself was beautiful and the surrounding area was stunning. Sandra was an excellent host and provided us with a warm welcome and great recommendations. We felt safe and comfortable the entire time, and it was a perfect home for our introduction to Hawaii. There were several great coffee shops and restaurants close by that we already miss. Thanks so much for an exceptional rental experience!

Nice stay

Nice location, beach just around the corner. Wonderful view. Only small 7-Eleven in town, bigger stores in next town. House itself in good condition, equipped with everything one might need. Beach towels and chairs, sand toys, … One bathroom was unfortunately not as clean as the other. But apart from that, everything was clean.

We loved this home in the “country”. It had a view of the ocean and mountains. It was so peaceful being far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the city but close to everything on the island. Sandra was a great and responsive host.

All Around Wonderful Hawaii Stay

Our stay could not have been better. The home has been recently renovated with recently added kitchen appliances and living room furniture. Stunning mountain views on one side of the house and views of the ocean on the other promote a calming peaceful view of beautiful Hawaii. Dual covered patios in the front and back of the house aid in your enjoyment of the spectacular views. A well-stocked kitchen (i.e., pots, pans, plates, and cooking gadgets) add yet another layer of comfort to the stay. All-in-all a very well thought out rental with amenities in every corner that make your Hawaii stay extra relaxing.

First trip to Hawaii

The house was lovely, perfect for our 2 couples. It was nice to have 2 full baths. We cooked 2 meals a day and appreciated the well stocked kitchen. The mountain views in the front and ocean views in the back were spectacular. Breakfast was always served on the screened lanai. Enjoyed falling asleep to the sound of the ocean waves. Sandra was a wonderful host. Due to delayed flights and missing our connection, we didn’t arrive until almost midnight. Sandra had the lights on to welcome us and help us find the right house. It was difficult to find in the dark. On one particularly windy day, the area lost power. Sandra brought us a battery operated light that lit up the living area There is a park and small beach close by, less than a 5 minute walk. And one of the most scenic beaches in Oahu is a short drive. If you are looking for a place away from the busyness of Honolulu, this is the perfect spot.

Classic Hawaiian with big lanais

For our first trip to the Hawaiian islands we all enjoyed being away from crowds on the windward side of Oahu. This charming early 20th century cottage afforded lovely views of the water and sunrises on a hill away from the main road. It is any easy walk to the beach and close to various attractions. Our attentive hosts made it all comfortable.

Beautiful house in a tranquility of Ka’a’awa

The house is very clean and bright, had everything we needed and the view is unbelievable ! We walked to the beach it was nearly empty even in the highest season, with only a few locals. We hiked the gorgeous ( but tricky) trail without a need to drive. To get to more touristy places, the drive was always breathtaking , as it is along the shoreline. We loved everything about our stay!

If you like a quiet area with easily walked to small beaches, please book this property.
