About this property

E Komo Mai (Welcome to my home). As your host and a thirty-three year resident of Oahu, I offer you the best of my experience and love of the islands. Let me share my fondness of Hawaii with you.

Perfect for your 180+ day immerse-yourself-in-Hawaii study or work get away!
Whether single, a couple, or family near a great beach in a cherished part of "the Gathering Place" of Hawaii. Allow yourself the luxury of a perfect Hawaiian place nestled in a charming neighborhood between access to the outside world and the most delicious white sand beach that your toes will ever sink into. Just a few short steps from our home on our beach lane and you will find yourself transported to an ocean world free of care in God's wonderful ocean. A coral reef protects the shoreline so that gentle waves lap at your feet. As you stroll past the calm waters and the natural tidal pool, fondly known as "alligator pond" you will have access to deeper water and larger waves for the more adventurous swimmer.

I will do my best to guide you from the best local entertainment, ie. the Polynesian Cultural Center (1.75 miles away), to sightseeing, surfing activities, fine dining, Turtle Bay Resort, and more.

Located just 31.5 miles from the airport and a mostly shoreline view drive, the turquoise waters will follow and welcome as you approach your destination. Your private suite entrance opens to a spacious 20 by 30 living area opening to a lovely lanai (patio) garden. The exquisitely appointed classic Hawaiian decor with its open room allows for a feeling of freedom and relaxed flow. The suite has a large comfortable sleeping area with king bed separates from the main living area. Included are four twin beds in the main living area to accommodate up to a total of six + in the main suite. The bedroom is perfect for study or separate seclusion. If the 'simple life' is more to your taste, waken in the morning to the songs of Hawaiian doves playing in our Norfolk pine and 3 palms. Or listen for the soft whispering of the surf in the late evening as you stroll to the water for a tidal pool swim. You may never want to leave.

If you need time to explore Hawaiian life as you contemplate an eventual move to Hawaii, whether for business or pleasure, you will have it. You can stay for as long as you wish. Kent is a Real Estate Broker and can help you find a home to meet your needs. I will gladly help in everyway possible.

My fondest Aloha!

ENJOYED IT IN PARADISE

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this property. Everything we need was there. There were enough towel for our family. All the machines were in good working condition. Thank you to Lani for allowing us to check in earlier than 4pm after a 10 hour flight . Although we embarrassingly walked into the wrong house, thinking Lani left it open for us, luckily the son showed us the correct place. I think it should be indicated that it’s the side house not the main house where the mailbox is. Anyway we have enjoyed our stay in this home well worth the money paid. Pretty close to shops and PCC BYU and LDS temple.

Perfect for families wanting to see true Oahu

We absolutely loved our time at Ka'elewa'a! It was the prefect size for our family of six and Lani and Kent were so warm, welcoming and helpful. It was neat and tidy and came with all the essentials for an easy trip. The backyard was great for our kiddies to run around in and they loved the hammock and tropical flowers in particular. The location was perfect as not far from Pipe and all the other beauty the north shore has to offer and after circumnavigating the island found it to be one of our favourite little towns! The beach just meters from the door is ideal for little ones and also one of the best on the island for kids. We can't recommend it highly enough and will definitely be back when we visit again in the near future.

Perfect Northshore Studio

Our family loved the time we spent at Kents place on the north shore of Oahu. It’s about a 50yd walk from the beach and nearby to local stores. Kent and his wife were very welcoming and happy to give advice on places to check out. Would HIGHLY recommend!

Home away from home

Very lucky to find this rare of a gem. The value of this place what it can offer was hard to find. Kent made sure you have everything you need to make your vacation as comfortable and as fun as you can you have. Beach chairs and body boards and other beach accessories that you might need are provided. It is less than a minute walk to a beautiful almost secluded beach that offers this amazing sunrises and sunsets. Very close to Polynesian Cultural Center if you want to experience, learn the Hawaiian history and it’s hard to beat Luau and Ha Breath of life Show (it’s a must and book early). If you’re in for an adventure kayak and hike to the top of China Man’s Hat, from there you have this jaw dropping view of the Koolau mountains. Kent’s place is not far from North Shore’s famous beaches. It’s very close to local eateries and food trucks. Kent is a very accommodating host, made us feel it’s our home away from home. We were disappointed that his place was not available for an extended stay. It mets all the check lists and beyond that my family needed for an excellent vacation. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you Kent.

Just what we needed

Kent was so inviting and helpful. The property was perfect for our needs; everything we needed was provided. Probably the part we liked best was its location so close to the beach. We enjoyed several beautiful sunrises. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to stay close to North Shore and away from the crowds of Honolulu/Waikiki.

Walk to the beach!

Overall we enjoyed our stay at Kent's place. Kent is a very nice guy and was always friendly when we chatted with him. The best part of the house is that it is only a few hundred feet from the beach! It was essential to us to have a washer, dryer and refrigerator, which this house did have. We loved the short distance to the North Shore, which was where we spent much of our time. Overall, this house worked well, as we were only there to sleep and for quick breakfasts in the morning.

Happy in Hauula, Hawaii

The property was exactly as presented in the listing and pictures. Comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. It was nice to be able to cook for ourselves in the kitchen and do laundry. The backyard was a nice reprieve, though the patio furniture needs some TLC. Not only is it steps from the beach, it is also just a short drive from the Polynesian Cultural Center, which we highly recommend! We easily drove to the North Shore and took in the breathtaking views along the way. Kent was super helpful with restaurant and grocery store directions. Overall, we absolutely loved our time and are very grateful for the experience.

Wonderful Stay

Our stay at Kent's home was wonderful. It was everything we expected and more. We enjoyed the boogie boards, beach chairs, beach towels and more that was provided by Kent for our use during our stay. Kent was easy to reach if we had any questions and was so much help. We loved the access to the beach just at the end of the street. The neighbors were noisy at times, but it only bothered us one night when we were in bed and they were will loud at midnight during the weekend. We didn't say anything, since we knew they were having a birthday party. The home was clean, and had everything we needed. We would recommend Kent's place to everyone!! It was also such a great price!! We looked at many locations and nothing compared to this one, and I think for being one of the best priced we couldn't have asked for anything better! Thank you Kent for your wonderful hospitality. Mahalo!

A marvelous experience

This was a wonderful place to stay with the family for our week’s vacation. The rental has a fully equipped kitchen, access to beach chairs and boogie boards, full laundry, very comfortable beds, beach access at the end of the short road, quiet street, access to grocery shopping, and plenty of space! We are a family of 7 adults sharing the space and were not crowded. Additionally, we had friends over and it was quite comfortable . The rental is a studio but, as previously stated, “if you like each other, it’s no problem.” Kent is a delightful host, responsive to anything that comes up, and it was a pleasure to be a guest on his property. The island is starting to open up with larger venues being open in the next month. We are a little disappointed to miss these events. Even so, we were able to travel around the island and enjoy many outdoor adventures.... paddle boarding, snorkeling, lots of beaches and hiking. Our main purpose was our daughter’s wedding and getting to know our new son-in-law and his family . Mission accomplished!
