#03 Kawela Kai 501: Updated North Shore Beach Front--relax & Unwind

Our family of 7 stayed in this house for 6 days and had a great time . The house was clean and in a great location. It is close to everything and the owners where easy to work with. We hope to stay in it again on our next trip.

I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was very pleasant and the three bedrooms were set up great fir our family. Although it was not close to town it was located mid way between Haleiwa and the polynesian culture center. The one negative aspect was there were no blinds on the upstairs master suite.

Great location, very comfortable home and very responsive owner!

Perfect location for us, we spent time at Turtle Bay, Wiamea Beach, Valley and Falls, Sharks Cove, Sunset Beach and Haliewa Beach. Ted's Bakery is so close a d you cant beat the food at Ted's. We also enjoyed Haleiwa Beachhouse, Food Trucks and Shark Diving at One Ocean Diving, which is about 20 minutes away.

We sat on the lanai and spotted a whale twice and a sea turtle once. Convenient to Turtle Bay public beach. The home is spacious and actually nicer that it appears from the pics posted to the web. We saved a few bucks by eating breakfast a couple of lunches at "home". The beach is not for the faint of heart but is very interesting. Fully recommend this rental.

We had a great time at our stay at this property. We had our four kids and my husband's parents staying in the house and felt like there was plenty of space. It was really nice that there were two sets of twin beds so that all our kids had their own bed. The adults appreciated the amazing views and the kids had a great time discovering creatures in the tide pools, chasing chickens, and catching geckos. The lanai and master bedrooms are definitely the frosting on the cake for the house, the pictures just don't do them justice. The property owners were fantastic to communicate with and are a very lovely couple. There was a housekeeping issue that was disappointing initially but when brought to the owners' attention, it was resolved as quickly and thoroughly as possible, leaving me to believe it was just a fluke. We also appreciated that the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed for the few simple meals that we cooked. The feedback we have for the owners is that we wish there had been a lockbox on the property so that we didn't have to make an extra stop to check in after a long flight and long drive, and the property doesn't have a sign that is visible from the highway so we drove past it numerous times during our stay. Lastly, I feel like the fact that renters are expected to provide their own toilet paper, garbage liners, paper towels, etc. should be included in the property description. I was surprised when I received the email a couple weeks before our trip that outlined this requirement, but when I messaged the property owners about my surprise, they seemed more than happy to leave extras out for us so it didn't end up being an issue. I mention only for the sake of future renters. All in all, we enjoyed our stay immensely would definitely stay here again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our first house rental on Hawaiian islands, have done many around the world. Chose north shore for surfing and to be away from Honolulu. The house is in fine shape and clean. Nothing fancy but worked well for us...2 parents, 2 adult children and their significant others. Awesome view and nice lawn. No real water activity in front of house and at high tide no beach to walk. At low tide you can walk down the beach and find a place to swim. Neighboring houses are close but both were very quiet during our stay. We drove to beaches and surf spots daily. Not much snorkeling available this time of year. Would go back. Also 3 miles from pipeline and grocery store.

The property was all we could have hoped for to accommodate our group of 4 adults and 2 children with room to spare. The beach was great for our early morning walks and the surf sounds created a relaxing sleep enhancement. Loved the location away from the major traffic congestion yet close enough to Foodland, Ted’s and Shark’s Cove. Would definitely return to vacation at this property.
