Sunset Oceanfront Hale Kalea - Beach Cruisers!
Oceanfront Paradise on Oahu’s North Shore!
Escape the city and experience the legendary North Shore of Oahu at its finest—where sunsets, surf, and the spirit of “Real Hawaii” come alive. Perfectly situated on the iconic stretch between Sunset Beach and Pipeline, this private 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath retreat offers 180° ocean views and front-row seats to one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world. Inside, the two-story open floor plan is filled with island character—stone floors, cherry cabinetry, vaulted ceilings, Ohia logs, and eclectic surf art. The fully stocked kitchen opens to spacious dining and living areas with ocean views, while three of the bedrooms (plus the futon area - open space at top of stairs between the 2 bedrooms) are oceanfront. Every bedroom and family room is equipped with Smart TVs and WiFi throughout, so you’ll enjoy both comfort and convenience. Step outside to the wraparound deck—partially covered for shade—ideal for BBQs, outdoor dining, or simply watching surfers, sea turtles, and humpback whales. A hot outdoor shower adds a tropical touch after beach days, while an upper deck offers a private perch with even more stunning views.
Nearby Adventures: - Snorkel right out front in the summer or swim with turtles at Sharks Cove. - Walk or bike the tropical 4-mile path to Waimea Falls. - Surf world-class breaks, hike the Pupukea hills, or ride horses on the beach at Turtle Bay. - Explore Haleiwa Town for local food, shops, and art—or visit Kualoa Ranch and the Polynesian Cultural Center for unforgettable cultural experiences. With groceries, coffee, and Ted’s Bakery just minutes away, and miles of sandy beach at your doorstep, this oceanfront escape blends peace, adventure, and authentic island living. You’ll never want to leave.

While few guests visiting Hawaii are able to stay 30 days, the law is that the owner may only rent the house once within a 30 day window, regardless of how long or short the stay of the visiting guest is. Our Rental Agreement and scheduling adapts to comply with this requirement.

Unbelievable sea and beach experience The house is exactly as advertised and more than met all our needs. Host was extremely responsive and helpful. Really appreciated all the beach equipment and extras. Spectacular sunsets. You will truly have an aloha experience!!
Fabulous property, we were very comfortable. What a great view we had. Little bit of salty air degradation, but to be expected. Great location and plenty of space for 6 of us
Our week in the house was relaxing and fun! Check in was flexible and easy. The house was better than the pictures and the beach was beautiful. Beach was clean. House had plenty space for party of 7! Host was receptive and thoughtful. We would definitely stay again.
This beachside property was perfect for our group! Each person had their own space with separate living areas, providing plenty of privacy and comfort. We especially loved the outdoor furniture, perfect for lounging and enjoying the evenings. The kitchen was fantastic—fully stocked with all the pots and utensils we needed. A wonderful place to relax and enjoy the beach!
This property is right on the beach in a great location walking distance to Sunset Beach. It’s a very nice home with lots of space and a very well-appointed kitchen. We will return!
The location is the very best we have ever stayed at in the Islands. To wake up to the view every morning and evening was spectacular. The house had everything you need to enjoy your vacation and it was very easy to communicate with the owner. The house was comfortable and the location is outstanding. We all felt like the owner was getting short changed but the cleaning company she employed however, they are not doing a very good job. The house is not new but it is very comfortable and we enjoyed our stay and we would definitely book there again.
Great location, 50m from sunset beach, walking distances to small store and food outlet's. Idyllic location. Big house, few yrs old, but with tonnes of amenities and good open living space. Had a large garage, which was great for our boards.
The property is right on the beach. The four bedrooms and four and half bathrooms were perfect for all of us. We utilized all the amenities including boogie boards and outside shower. The food were amazing especially the elephant truck. We had a blast!! Thomas
The property was beautiful and spacious. We had the most incredible time spending every moment we were at the house on the deck and waking up each morning to the sound of the waves. Taking the stairs down to the beach every morning and night was the cherry on top to an already perfect place. The house exceeded our expectations and dreams in every way. Whether you enjoy building sand castles with the family, a walk on the beach, a dip in the water, or watching the surfers with a drink in hand, this is THE PLACE to stay. We hope to make it back someday!
Everything was as expected, no surprises. The only disappointment was on arrival cleaning crew were just getting started. I had received OK for a 1 hr early arrival at 3, so we left and came back at 4:30. House was ready but laundry not done. We told them we would finish up. The house was beautifully decorated and roomy and right on the beach with great views. Although it was a slow start in, it was a beautiful stay.
The property is located in a great spot that is quiet and peaceful but central to many of the different activities we traveled to during our visit. The house was nice overall but there were a few items in need of replacement. The beach chairs were all rusted and broke making them unusable. The smoke detectors appeared to be missing in the house which was somewhat concerning. The beach where the house is located is great for beach activities. Overall it was a nice place to stay in a great location.
The house was ample room for all 9 of us. Bathroom for each bedroom, the beach was right out the slider. Lots of shell gathering for the kids and running around in the surf. We saw serval whales in the distance spouting and breaching! They supplied several snorkels and fins, beach chairs, large beach umbrella, boogie boards etc… made it very nice not to have to rent and wait in lines. Lots of beaches to choose from and the public beach at Turtle Bay was 15 minutes away. It was a very enjoyable stay. Definitely a must with a family!
It was my wife’s and mine 45th anniversary. 2 sons and their spouses all over 40 years old and my wife and I were here for 10 days. It is literally right on the beach. We enjoyed the Sunsets, Huge waves, the surfers, spotting whales, Sunsets (again), the privacy of the property, the roominess of the inside, Sunrises, BBQing, and we were so centrally located to all the North Shore fun. We are looking forward to coming back with our
“Kids “ and Grandkids. Thank you Tara.
If you’re reading this review and you’re looking for bright and shiny, move on. Homes that are right on the beach require regular maintenance and this home is no exception. However, if you are looking for a place to stay that is family friendly - large enough to accommodate eight adults - this is a wonderful choice! Each of our family units had their own bedroom and bath. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and the dining room table was large enough for all off us to gather around. The views and beach access were so amazing!! The only down side is that there are no hand rails with any of the stairs. There are three steps to get into the house, but once those are navigated, everything on the first floor is accessible. Our local host was wonderful. She more than met our needs! So, if you are looking for a large, clean house that is right on the beach, this could be for you! (Bonus - falling asleep to the sound of powerful waves after marveling at the stars was so relaxing!)
Looking for a great place to recharge and relax after spending some time in Oahu? This is a wonderful place to do just that. We were a party of 7 who slept comfortably in this beach house. The deck led directly to a nice beach and superb views of surfers, parasailers, and occasionally whales (make sure you bring binoculars if you come during whale season.
The house sits back off the main street and feels completely safe and other than the waves crashing, completely quiet. The house needs a little TLC, the back doors slide awkwardly, the steps down to the beach lack a good handrail, and the garage needs to be cleaned out of broken chairs and toys. The kitchen is well stocked with mostly everything you need to cook, but some more kitchen utensils would have been nice.
Communication with the host was good, but a couple of times I felt like we were discussing separate houses. The listing and instructions mentioned a code of the gate and an extra key but when we arrived we noticed that the gate was only manually operated and the key was being used for the property next door. Also, when inquiring about hairdryers, we were told there were none, but there is one in each king bathroom.
However, all of these little fixes did not negatively affect our time and we appreciated the hot water (especially in the outside shower), the quick-heating appliances, and a spectacular view.
House needs floors deep cleaned, teaspoons for the kitchen and bikes and surfboards serviced ( leash replaced and tires, brakes and kickstands repaired.Otherwise the location is a dream, manager extremely responsive. Loved our stay!
Absolutely loved our stay here. We loved the house, the deck, the yard, we cooked a good bit and enjoyed having a nice grocery store just down the road. Every day was special. We loved the location and the sunsets were spectacular every night. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to spend time in such a cool location. Our kids loved watching the surfers from the deck and we’ll always cherish the memories.
Loved the home! We were on a ‘working vacation’ as we were there for our daughter’s wedding, but watching the sunsets and relaxing at the house. Each of the rooms had its own AC and cooled down real well. I loved sitting on the deck listening to he waves. My wife loved either sitting on the deck or going down the stairs and sitting on the beach. Home was well stocked. Checkin was easy. The wifi pw on the VRBO didn’t match pw at the house, so use the house one. The driveway is a little snug fit but we had a van and a jeep so no issues, just go slow. We had a small issue with the fridge upon arrival but Tara and Natalie were super quick to address, which we really appreciated. We really loved this home and highly recommend!
