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!

Beautiful location
Loved our little beach house. Beautiful view, quiet, my kids loved seeing the little baby chicks, hearing the roosters, and the kitties that live on the property. The beach was conveniently right there and never crowded since its only accessed by the homes along it. I wanted our stay to be relaxing and away from all the crowds. I am so happy we stayed here and we will be back. In regard to the house itself. It's a cute little house. The beds were comfortable. Kitchen is well stocked as far as cooking pots and pans and had a toaster, a blender, coffee pot, etc. We had plenty of towels, blankets, and the little AC's in each room worked great. My husband said he had great sleep the entire time we were there. There's also a washer and dryer outside and an outside shower to rinse off after the beach. I do wish the outside shower was enclosed. It was a little awkward trying to rinse sand out of my bathing suit and the other house has windows facing the shower. If you are considering where to stay for your vacation I highly recommend one of the properties this owner has. You will not regret it. We will be back and hopefully next time renting one of the bigger houses because we'll have more family with us next time. Thank you to the owners for making the house comfortable for your guests. ❤️ I

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.

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!

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!

Great location!
LOCATION: Amazing! You can't beat the location. True beachfront. It's on a quieter stretch of the main highway, but close to the busy Sunset Beach/Waimea area. Other reviewers mentioned traffic noise, but we weren't bothered. Stunning views, especially at sunrise and sunset. At night we enjoyed listening to the crashing waves. There is a nice stretch of sand for relaxing and beachcombing. As other reviewers noted, the area immediately in front of the stairs is not ideal for swimming due to rocks, but there are several nearby swimming areas. MANAGEMENT: By coincidence, the owners were vacationing on the property for the majority of our stay. They were welcoming and kind. The management company was friendly and quick to respond to any questions. Guest manual was full of helpful information. HOME: Perfect set-up for our family of 4. Clean and organized. Comfortable beds and well-equipped kitchen. HUGE covered deck. Extra towels & linens. Beach chairs, beach towels, and gear provided. Outdoor shower was nice. It was a bonus having a washer & dryer and extra fridge. TIP: As mentioned above, there are three other larger rental homes on the property - great if you're vacationing with multiple families or hosting an event. However, if you are a solo renter and craving a quieter experience, you may want to check if the other houses are booked by one group. On our final night, a large party rented out the other houses and kind of took over the whole property.

Peaceful property
The house is definitely older—probably from the 1940s, and in need of some TLC. Would be nice to have had some basic toiletries, laundry soap, scissors. Did have plenty of towels for the beach and even 2 chairs which is nice. Outside area is beautiful and right on the beach. I would definitely recommend it for a stay. Can also rent the houses next door if you have a big group and the yards connect. Close to Foodland, Ken’s Fish, food trucks. Also close to Turtle bay which my kids enjoyed because the beach is calmer there.

Poor value / Good Marketing
found the nearby highway loud all hours of day and night; especially, when the in-room A/C unit is off. It is best to leave on for white noise. Living area: We found the wicker furniture uncomfortable and stained. We used the wi-fi without issues and with speeds to allow our Apple TV to stream movies and sports. The standing lamp in the corner to light the room has an electrical short. Bathroom: We were disappointed that there was no shampoo or soap for use in the bathroom. We found the shower curtain stained pink with mold. We found and used many new body and beach towels, but no step cloth when exiting the stained shower. Outdoors: We enjoyed the covered deck. We experienced crowing rosters, barking dogs, and crying feral cats. The annoying feral cats overran the outside patio's deck begging for food to the point we discontinued eating outside because the cats insisted on being on our laps and tabletop. We were disappointed to learn the washer and dryer is shared with others on property and found our laundry placed in the outside sink and wet from rain. We were surprised our lawn furniture was used when we were away.

Beautiful, peaceful, comfortable
Cannot wait to return. This was the ultimate north shore, serene escape for us. Some highlights that made this a comfortable rental for 5+ days - RIGHT on the beach. It is rocky but perfect for small children to explore tide pools. 5 min walk on beach to a swimming/sandy area. We planned to explore north shore a lot more but the property was so great with beach access we barely left the place! Nice spacious kitchen, well stocked. Wine fridge! Great indoor and outdoor showers. Effective air conditioners in each bedroom. Comfortable beds. Lots of storage areas. Washer/dryer. easy parking in front of the home. You will be right beside 3 other rentals - safety/comfort in numbers but there are dense bushes lining each home for privacy if you're not feeling social. The resident rooster will wake you up at 4, 5 and 6 am but thats fine because you can head to Ted's bakery (5 min drive) to get the freshest pastries/breakfast each morning.

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 :)

Awesome stay at our Kawela Kai unit. The home was the perfect size for our family of 3. The view was spectacular. Location was steps away from the beach, with a nice large deck to enjoy our meals at and loungers on the grassy area. There was one bedroom with a double sized bed and a second bedroom with 2 twin beds. My husband and I are both tall and larger so our daughter got the double bed and we took the room with the twin beds. The bathroom was a decent size with a convenient vanity and stool opposite the sink. Kitchen was the perfect size and had a full sized refrigerator and stove. The couch was a little uncomfortable and a second cushioned chair would have been nice, but that was a minor issue. The home had plenty of towels and beach towels and some beach chairs and foam floaties. The unit also had AC units in each bedroom and the dining/living room area that were all highly efficient and cooled the rooms super fast. However, the weather was so nice and the bedroom ceiling fans were effective in keeping the temperature in the rooms very comfortable. We originally considered one of the larger units for the second bathroom, but we didn’t need it. There was an outdoor shower that was great to wash off all the sand. In our 15 or so trips to the islands, this was hands down the best location and our favorite accommodations we watched whales from the deck, beautiful sunsets and even rainbows. Simply spectacular.

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!

We had a wonderful week at the beachside cottage. Very clean and welcoming. Well stocked with kitchen utensils. Comfortable beds. Didn’t need the AC due to cool night breezes. Previous renters left salt, pepper and olive oil which we gratefully used. Worked perfectly for 4 adults. Not a swimming beach but we loved easy access by stairs to beach level and wading in 2 foot deep pool at high tide. Friendly housekeepers at vacated cottage next door were a delight and offered many helpful tips of places to see, eat and enjoy. Loved those ladies! We would definitely come here again! Mahalo!
