About this property

North Shore beachfront, luxury with hot tub and air conditioning

This prime beachfront home on the famous Banzai Pipeline is one of the deepest beaches in Hawaii, is privacy gated with 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, two story home with beachfront decks on two levels. Built in 1992 by owner, its clean, light colored tiles and carpet is still one of the better homes on the North Shore offered for rent. The home allows more privacy having the second story with its own family room and 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. The first floor has the living room, kitchen 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.

From November through March, the North Shore's winter waves attracts world class surfers from around the world. While spectacular, caution is advised. The beach in front of the house extends a long way beyond Sunset Beach, with a high concentration of the world's greatest surf spots and ocean. A life guard stand is in front of our neighbor's house, providing guidance for swimmers and surfers.

The nearby town of Haleiwa is most charming with innumerable art galleries, shave ice, shops and restaurants. In the other directions is the Turtle Bay Resort, with golf, tennis, restaurants and very nice beaches as well.

All 4 bedrooms are air conditioned by solar power. We also have a Jacuzzi hot tub in the yard. We do our best to maintain the property and provided the highest level of luxurious amenities possible. The beach in front goes forever, it seems - great for walking on the beach, as well as the beach view from the house. The other side of the house is a bike path going along the best beaches in the world.

The house was not real clean, the carpets upstairs need to be cleaned, the window sills had mold, the burnners to be placed on hitocookanything. There was no garage door opener and only have the jets worked in the hot tub. I wouldn't recommend the this unit.

Perfect for a Large Family

This house was the perfect home base for our family of seven to explore Oahu. We had our teenage daughter, our two adult sons, and their wives. The layout was ideal. The only problem was that my kids didn't want to do my site-seeing trips when we had such a great beach location.

House could use some attention!

Beautiful location, enjoyed the beaches. The house itself needs some basic attention. Nothing we couldn't live with, but just not up to par....a little inconvenient. In spite of a few things, we had a great time and appreciate using the property.

great location and view

This is not a 5 star hotel but the house was perfect for our needs with space, bedrooms and bathrooms. We did not use the hot tub but it looked great. Enjoyed the front porch immensely. The kitchen was well equipped for our needs and the washer and dryer appeared fairly new. Smelled a little musty but opening the sliders and door took care of that with a wonderful breeze everyday. I would not hesitate to recommend this listing. Had a little trouble getting the owner to respond to our request on VRBO, 3 tries and finally a response.

Beautiful location

It’s a really great location right on the beach. We listened and sat on the porch for hours watching the waves, the surfers and the whales. They have everything for you at the house- all the beach stuff, towels, extra blankets, well stocked kitchen, etc. we didn’t have to go out and get anything except groceries. Our kids loved the hot tub. The only thing about that beach this time of year (March) the waves are insane. So having the kids be able to just go out to the beach was a no go. They could barely but their feet in with out the lifeguard coming to Say it wasn’t safe and it wasn’t. I heard it’s not like that all year. That being said it didn’t matter to much to us. We went other locations for the beach. Enjoyed the waves, surfing and whale watching from the house. We would stay here again.

Great family gathering place on the North Shore

This house worked well for our family gathering of 8 adults in that there are four comfortable air conditioned bedrooms and an open kitchen with living and dining areas. The open space looks out onto a spectacular ocean view (especially at sunset), and the generous porch area is wonderful for sitting, grilling, or using the hot tub. We liked that it is off the main road with gated parking and walking distance to Shark's Cove. Early morning snorkeling at the cove was fabulous... some of our more daring family members swam in front of the house, but for the rest of us it was too rocky and rough to enjoy swimming there. Still beautiful to look out at, or sit among the rocks and let the waves wash around you, and there were many swimming beaches close by. The house was very well stocked with nice quality linens, towels, kitchen equipment and dining sets, and we cooked every night. The washer and dryer in the garage were a big plus as well. The dryer and the hot tub were a bit delicate - the house manager was very responsive, however, whenever we had a question or a problem. It takes a lot to maintain a house like this, and the owner left many signs and reminders about upkeep and security. Sometimes it seemed a bit much, but I imagine each admonition about taking out garbage, removing shoes, rinsing before using the hot tub, was prompted by an unfortunate experience with renters, and all in all we appreciated and found the reminders and suggestions practical and helpful. It was a casual beach house with just the right balance of attractive, solid and comfortable furniture, thoughtful amenities and light and lovely indoor space. Groceries, surf shops and food trucks were a mile away making last minute shopping for meals easy. People were able to choose among a big variety of activities within easy driving distance. Everyone was thrilled to walk through the front door and so happy to have stayed there!

Great location, but needs a lot of work.

The location of this property couldn't be better on Oahu, right on the beach at the Banzai Pipeline with surfing action all day, whale watching, and beautiful sunsets. However, the house needs considerable work and isn't at all "luxury" at this time. Some issues we found: peeling paint on window sills and walls; sliding windows that didn't work; light bulbs burned out (we replaced 4); what appeared to be black mold in 2 bathrooms; badly stained tubs and tile; hot tub so dirty you couldn't see the bottom (we drained and refilled it); stained/dirty interior doors and carpet; evidence of insects in a kitchen cabinet that deposited what looked like sand on the counter top every day, and someone had placed duct tape on the bottom of the cabinet, we assume to try to stop it; internet that worked only sporadically; and the glass cooktop was cracked so badly we were afraid to use one burner. We also asked to make sure the grill had LP, but when we fired it up, it didn't work at all, and someone had apparently used it as a charcoal grill, which only made it worse. As an aside, we were left to our own devices to get into the property: It was locked and no one met us to gain entry. We called the owner, who gave us combinations, but the gate lock was so difficult to operate that we struggled with it for quite some time. I know it's not easy to maintain a shore home--we had one in Virginia--but honestly, we' d like to request a refund because the property fell so short of its "luxury" representation, and we'd not recommend it until the write-up indicates it has been thoroughly renovated.

Living the dream on the north shore!

We had amazing two weeks in this house right on the beach in front of an incredible surf break! Fabulous house for a family with the teens enjoying the upstairs deck & rooms, and lots of space downstairs. It was great to have the two bikes on hand & easy to get North Shore bike rentals to drop extras off! Easy bike ride to Sharks cove, food trucks and Sunset beach so an amazing location, especially with Pipeline a short walk 5min away! A few small tweaks would make it even better e.g., bbq elements replaced. We had an epic time supporting our fellow New Zealander’s at the Haleiwa surf comp and loved watching the rock piles sandbar pump for the first time in the last five years!! Thanks so much.

Great location but beware - NOT LUXURY

This house has an amazing location right on the beach with great views from the second floor but the house is far from advertised. I rarely would say this but calling this house luxury is flat out dishonest. First of all I would recommend you read all of the reviews. There is one from earlier this year that we ignored at our own peril. It referenced broken appliances, mold, termites. That is all true. If you doubt that it was true read the owners response. The owner did not deny any of it...they simply said they were luxury by north shore standards. When we arrived the combination lock was broken on front door (back door was unlocked to make up for it). The owner requested we not open large sliding door that faces the ocean as the screens might get damaged so this takes away from the idea of sitting inside enjoying ocean. You cannot use part of the kitchen counter as dust from what we assume is termites drops on the counter every day. There is mold in the house. The BBQ grill did not work. The owner did replace the stove earlier this year but instead of being counter depth it protrudes and blocks opening the dishwasher all the way so dishes are very difficult. Common things like steak knives were basically non existent. The bedrooms on the main floor had a very musty smell. I could go on but no need to just pile on. Overall if you are looking for beds and the beach this is the place. If you are looking for luxury this is not the place (even by north shore standards)

Welcome stay on the North Shore!

We really enjoyed staying here. The place was spacious and clean for the 5 of us. We loved the beachfront view and spent every morning drinking coffee on the porch watching the waves. The beautiful beach was just steps away, though not quite swimmable as it was rocky and with rough waves. Lots of surfers though! I do wish communication with the owner was better. Responses often took a while or none at all. There were also several occasions we saw maintenance guys working in the yard . They were very friendly, but it would have been nice to have a heads-up from the owner as we were initially alarmed to see strangers on the property. Overall, still a wonderful experience and would recommend the house.

North Shore slice of paradise

Our group of friends stayed at Rai's property just east of Haleiwa in early November 2021. We loved the 4-bed, 3-bath layout of the home. The kitchen and dining room areas were spacious and we loved cooking as a group in the house. The beach front is amazing; gorgeous sand for miles in each direction. The waves were too high for our group of adults to swim in front of the house, so we walked west to Shark's Cove to swim in the safety of the extremely large tidal pool. We saw lots of cool fish and a sea turtle! We also loved watching the surfers on the Banzai pipeline. The hot tub and outdoor shower were also a nice amenity of the rental home. We ran into a bit of trouble with the AC units on the lower floor not working, and unfortunately the problem wasn't able to be resolved during our stay. If you stay at this home, I'd recommend having a car. The only walkable food options are the grocery store and some very tasty food trucks. We attended the Toa Luau at the beautiful Waimea Valley Botanical Gardens and HIGHLY recommend it. An awesome show with tasty food! Overall, I'd totally stay in Rai's house again. We had a great experience on the North Shore!

Quiet and beautiful.

Morning coffee on the patio looking out at the panoramic ocean views were worth the price of admission. The house is very spacious and accommodating for a large family. Very clean and has all the amenities needed. Air conditioning was a positive. Amazing location on North Shore. Loved it! Would highly recommend this rental. We will rent again!

About the host

Hosted by Rai Chu

Host profile image
You have heard about whining to a spouse saying 'when are you going to get me a spot on a number 10 beach' (rated from 1 to 10). Well we looked for many years and finally found the perfect spot on a high noll in front of Rock Piles. We then tore down the old house owned by a Hollywood movie writer, so we could build the nicest possible house on this lot. This house has been the spot for writers, photographers, surf industry and other surfing affcionados during the high surf season. Then the rest of the year from March to early November it is great for those who are more timid in the ocean. Anytime its great to sit on the deck and read a good book while watching and hearing the crashing waves.

Why they chose this property

This has always been my favorite area of Hawaii - a great beach town with great restaurants, art galleries, interesting shops, great shaved ice and most of all great & beautiful beaches. These beaches have charisma. I wanted a # 10 (rated from 1-10) as far as beaches go and found my paradise here. It is a total get away, very quiet and serene, while during world class surfing events and big wave season, it is difficult to find parking or a place to hang your hat. You can be very satisfied that you have this place to rest and relax.

What makes this property unique

The beach from our house goes on forever for long walks and sight seeing, shelling, swimming or just watching the surfers, boats or other beach goers. Also in season, whales can be seen in the distance. Directly in front of our house is 'Rock Piles' where you can sit between the rocks and let the waves crash over you. The best time of day is the hour or two before sunset, when the sun is low in the sky and casts a golden glow on the beach. Then we stop everything to watch the sunset on the horizon ... just another perfect day in paradise.
