About this property

Exceptionally Pristine Haleiwa North Shore Beachside Retreat

Summertime on Oahu's North Shore! The large Winter surf has gone down and diving, paddling & fishing beckon you just minutes away down a private beach access. Shell collecting, monk seal & green sea turtle watching, sunsets over the ocean, so many ways to enjoy this special North Shore location. Relax & let your troubles fade away in this private one bedroom / one bath Haleiwa cottage. Maintained to perfection by on site property owners. Amazingly private sandy beach extends for miles! Walk about a mile along the pristine beach toward Haleiwa town and experience nesting green sea turtles, monk seals, shell collecting and rarely see another person. Epic surfing in the Winter, crystal clear blue ocean beckons paddling and diving in the Summer. Located on the Haleiwa side just before popular "Turtle Beach", you'll save so much time avoiding the North Shore traffic when driving in to town for dinner or shopping. The QUEEN size fold out bed in the blue cabinet in living room is super comfortable. Bright, super clean & fresh with a compete upgrade in 2024 that includes all new furniture for your comfort. Vaulted ceiling, double paned argon filled windows, full kitchen (including dishwasher, Nespresso & instant hot water dispenser), new split A/C system, ceiling fans, private full-size washer/dryer on site, outdoor hot/cold shower. Plenty of room for surfboard or SCUBA gear storage. Includes planet friendly solar heated water & photovoltaic power. All waste recycled too! Very eco-friendly. High speed Hawaiian Telcom fiber optic internet for work or streaming your favorite TV shows. Parking included close by outside the gate. Just a bit over one mile into quaint Haleiwa Town across historic Anahulu bridge. Walk along mostly deserted beach all the way to Puaena Point by accessing the beach through a privately owned, gated, pathway. Or if you prefer, take a 5-minute beach walk towards Waimea Bay to Laniakea Beach, now widely known as “turtle beach”. You are guaranteed to see numerous turtles (Honu) during your visit. Surfing, diving, hiking, biking, shell collecting, sunbathing, playing music is our way of life here. Have the best reprieve from your normal routine you can imagine.
Enjoy having fresh papaya, coconut & banana from the yard (seasonal) Long time Hawaii owner-occupants live in the main single level home on property. Secure, fenced in entry & yard.
Truly a 5-star experience that will make you want to come back again & again. This is the part of Oahu that feels like the neighbor Islands but only about 45 minutes to Waikiki & Diamond Head, (non-commute time drive) for a taste of the fast Honolulu city life. 30 minutes to the airport outside of rush hour. Property is along the road with road noise when the windows are open. Split A/C units in the living room and bedroom keep the house cool & quiet if needed.
DON'T MISS: Check "About the Host", then look at "What Makes This Property Unique". You will see what will truly make your visit something visitors rarely experience!
30-day rental. Maximum of 4 guests. With just one full bathroom, our unit is best suited for 2 adults with fold out bed for children. Could be a bit awkward for adult couples. There is an outside hot water shower in the garden area.
Mahalo!

Amazing hosts and property!

Cannot say enough good things about the kindness and hospitality of our hosts and the beautiful, light and open space and all the appointments of the property. The location is just steps from a beautiful private beach that stretches for miles, and it's convenient to both Pupukea and Haleiwa. Add to that A/C and parking and you really can't ask for anything more...5-star experience!

Perfect North Shore Stay

We loved our time here! The apartment is very spacious, bright, and clean. It is very well equipped (kitchen, bath, beach towels, etc.). There was nothing that we missed during our month-long stay. The proximity to the beach and Laniakea is unbeatable. During beach walks one can often see turtles and monk seals.Overall, I cannot rate this place highly enough and I hope we will be able to rteurn soon.

A Month in Paradise

We walked into our beautiful rental to see a gorgeous bouquet on the table, 2 tickets to Waimea Park and a bottle of wine. James and Mollye could not have been more friendly, available and kind! The apartment is so comfortable, clean and beautifully remodeled, with so much thought to detail. The location is perfect on the North Shore and so close to the beach, with a private entrance to the ocean. We would highly recommend Honu Hale as an excellent choice! We will definitely be back!

Amazing Stay!

This little Apartment is above the garage on the owners property directly next to their main home. They were absolutely wonderful and kind. They brought us fresh flowers and fresh fish to enjoy and they were always outside and close by to answer any questions we had. The Beach is a short walk from the apartment and we enjoyed our time at the beach even though the waves were extremely rough during our stay. Parking was a bit confusing, so make sure you get specific directions before parking near the property incorrectly. The owners went above and beyond to make sure we had a comfortable stay. Thank you for sharing your property with us! We appreciate your hospitality and kindness! Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Mollye Lewis

Host profile image
We're long time Oahu residents living on the North Shore well over 25 years. We both are very active SCUBA divers. We enjoy walking the beach, early morning hikes into Waimea Bay Valley, playing music with friends, growing tropical plants and garden vegetables in the beautiful yard. James is an inactive SCUBA diving instructor, long time surfer and is happy to share his wealth of ocean experience to make your water sports activities safer.

Why they chose this property

Papailoa Rd is one of the North Shores many treasures! All homes are on lots two or three times the size of the typical beach side lot providing plenty of elbow room to breathe. Uncrowded and relaxed. The beach is perfect without lots of people but a short walk away is super popular Laniakea (AKA Turtle Beach). Haleiwa town is just a quick drive and a healthy walk or run away too.

What makes this property unique

Your 30-day visit includes your choice of (1) one of these complimentary North Shore activities. (a) 4 wheeling & hiking trip to remote oceanfront location (b) Snorkeling offshore in an uncrowded area (c) Early morning access to Waimea Valley (d) Offshore bottom fishing. All activities led by James "Kimo" Lewis, property owner & long time Hawaii/North Shore resident. All activities subject to seasonal weather conditions and guest's physical abilities. You'll feel special while visiting our home. The rental cottage is above our garage next to our place, and we like to keep everything maintained and enjoyable for your visit. As long-time active residents, we enjoy sharing our knowledge about all of the fun activities to do and the best time when to do them. Very close to shopping, restaurants, boat harbor and entertainment in Haleiwa town.
