Spring break getaway
Had an amazing time at the property - our teens and us loved the location, the outdoor space, the house itself, the beautiful views. It was a fantastic home base to explore the North Shore with its countless beautiful beaches and amazing food trucks. The chicken and cats only added to the experience!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is the perfect spot. Our young family had the best time! The accommodations were comfortable and spacious. Highlights being the unbelievable view from the shaded front patio for lounging/wale watching, beach access to the tide pools, and easy travel to local activities in Hale’iwa and Kahuku.

Great stay!!
We stayed at Kawela Kai beach house for a week from 1-15-25 and were very pleased with the house. It was clean and everything that we had expected. Sarah was great in fulfilling a couple of requests we had and followed up with them promptly. The location was ideal for us being close to the area shrimp trucks and points of interest. If we return to the North Shore we hope this house will be available.

Great beach front access
The house could definitely use some TLC. The shower needs a deep cleaning and the windows should honestly be replaced as they have tape holding them together. They should also note there is a window above the shower that is always open so the house is definitely not sound proof. Overall a good stay had easy communication with property management. Loved having the lawn chairs and beach chair option.Great location on the north shore!

Stay in HI
We had a wonderful stay in HI. This was a great location, not far from popular destinations (and a grocery store) but still private and quiet. The entrance can be tricky to spot, so I might recommend more signage. The home was very clean and stocked with essentials to get us through the first day or so. Communication with the property manager was helpful and efficient. It was great having our own access to the beach. Note, the washer/dryer are located outside which was unusual for us. They worked just fine but we had an initial concern as the units were rusted on the outside. However, we understand the space limitations inside and were grateful to be able to do laundry as we were there for a week! Would recommend this location to anyone.

Everything about this spot was a dream. It felt like being at home but in paradise. We hope to come back💞 Our fav thing to do was bbq and watch the sunset from the back yard. Amazing food and snorkeling nearby as well as fun shopping a few miles down the way 10/10

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed here for the second half of our stay. They gave us a welcome kit with a roll of toilet paper, paper towel, some hand soap and dish soap. The views were amazing and it was so much fun to wake up and walk down to the beach. On the side of the house there were some beach toys, snorkel stuff and a boogie board, probably from previous renters. Overall it was amazing. Would definitely stay here again.

Amazing!
I can’t say enough! This place is exactly how it is pictured and just gorgeous. Top notch alarm system. They have sand toys so don’t buy any! Perfect place for lounging, we barely wanted to leave but with Haleiwa town 10 mins away and all of the best snorkel spots right next door, we left a few times. Incredible.

An Oceanfront Gem
Our family had a wonderful stay at Kawela Kai and cannot recommend it enough. This is one of the few remaining properties you can find to rent for less than a month outside the tourist hot spots of Waikiki and Turtle Bay, and what a find it is! The property is beautiful, just far enough from the road to eliminate noise and right on a small but beautiful stretch of sandy beach. The backyard is nicely landscaped and equipped with lounge chairs to take in the view, while the large back porch has a table to enjoy meals outside. The building itself is old but well maintained, and the interior is nicely appointed and clean. It has what appear to be brand new appliances in the well stocked kitchen, AC throughout, and a good security system. The location can't be beat; right on the North Shore, less than 15min to Waimea and good snorkeling beaches to the west and the Polynesian Cultural Center and gorgeous Windward shore to the east. In short, if the idea of staying in a cookie cutter condo in Waikiki does not appeal, this is the place for you!

Heaven
This beach house was such a treat. Being oceanfront with the sand, only a few steps away, whale watching every morning while drinking coffee, and the grass area for playing ball and sunny lounge chairs made it an extra wonderful. Be sure to bring your headlamps for night time tide pool exploring, we saw an eel! Thank you for the wonderful retreat. WE WILL BE BACK!

A whale of a good time.
We loved our little bungalow on the ocean and were sad to leave. Perfect for a family of four and had everything we needed for a pleasurable stay. We especially enjoyed whale watching from the lanai where we saw tons of activity and even a few whales breaching off in the distance. This place is a gem. Thank you!

Waterfront Paradise
This little house is clean, well-appointed, and the location is absolutely stunning. We loved walking in the flat rocks of the Long Beach. It’s not ideal for swimming, but it’s wild and wonderful. We even saw humpbacks breaching in the distance. Each room has an adequate air conditioning unit. We did have a little trouble with accessing Netflix and prime. The Rooster seems to crow on its own schedule, but he and the hen watch over the property, along with the little family of cats. We loved it!

Beautiful Oasis for the family
We came here for our kid's spring break and of all the places we've ever stayed (hotel and house rental), this is our favorite one by far. The dream landscape of having an oceanfront home in the beautiful North Shore, basically your own private beach and only being minutes from anywhere you'd want to go in the North Shore has it meeting every checkbox we could imagine. The privacy from the neighbors was also great. Thank you so much for sharing your home. We will absolutely be back and have recommended it to anyone who asks :)
