Holiday rentals with outdoor seating in Kawela Bay

We had the best time here. So close to Waimea Bay which became our fav beach, it was less than a 10 min walk! Absolutely wonderful place to stay, also very kind and helpful host!

We had an unforgettable stay ! The location was perfect—just minutes from the beach and tucked away enough to feel peaceful and private. Waking up to mountains breezes and birdsong each morning was absolute paradise. The home itself was spotless and beautifully decorated with local touches. The kitchen was well-equipped. The host provided everything we needed—beach chairs, snorkel gear. Communication with the host was excellent—super responsive and helpful with local recommendations. We especially appreciated the personal touches like a welcome note and a list of nearby hidden gems (we discovered a great poke spot because of it!). We felt safe, comfortable.

We had a great stay in Kailua! The house is very comfortable, and it’s only a couple minutes walk to the Kalamas beach access. When not at the beach (with the chairs, towels, boogie boards, and toys provided) or eating Island Snow, the kids loved playing in the yard and the play room, and watching movies in the living room. We ended up staying mostly in Kailua and Lanikai for beaches, shopping, and restaurants, with one morning at the botanical gardens in Kaneohe and one at Haunama Bay, and an afternoon at Bishop Museum after check-out. We’d love to stay here again, in this well-appointed and clean house with hosts who responded to our questions and provided clear guidance on the check-in and check-out process.

We enjoyed our stay there. Very clean, quiet, and in a nice secluded area. Pictures and description were very adequate. Melissa's instructions and details in her book were helpful too. Only thing I would suggest is darker curtains in the master bedroom. Sunrise is before 6 am and the light will wake you. We would definitely stay there again. Thanks for a great vacation!

Our family had a wonderful vacation at Emma's place! The location, in the majestic Makaha Valley, was absolutely stunning! Emma's house was spacious, sparkling clean, and perfectly appointed in every way. The home is especially well suited for a family, with plenty of space for everyone. We immedately felt at home and able to unwind after a busy day of adventures around Oahu. By the end of our visit, my kids were ready to move in! Emma's house is the definition of indoor-outdoor living, with a brand new backyard complete with pretty landscaping, an outdoor cooking space with grill, a bar seating six, a comfortable seating area, and a hot tub! Just steps away is a private neighborhood pool great for families. Emma is a fabulous host who is responsive, flexible, and kind. She has thought of every detail to make this a great stay for a family of all ages, and she went out of her way multiple times to accomodate our family's needs. We look forward to returning again soon!

Good place, modern, and had a nice view from the yard of the natural beauty. lots of toys to take to the beach and in a nice gated community

In one word, AMAZING!!! Everything was exceptional, the only negative thing I can say is that now I have to buy a new bed at home because the bed at this place was incredible. The home was exactly as advertised, the views of the ocean were sensational. There were even extras for the beach such as coolers, snorkels, umbrellas, boogie boards and much more. Friendly and responsive hosts were there for us, even before we needed them. As long as you know where you are staying and are prepared for the drive, this place is a premium slice of heaven in heaven. Thank you for being part of our adventure.

Shirley's place had everything we needed and was a wonderful place to be for our vacation. Shirley was easy to communicate with and friendly. The space was clean and comfortable. The kitchen is tiny home sized (as pictured) and it had everything we needed to cook meals during our stay. We would definitely stay again in the future!

Amazing place to stay! Only hiccup was the code to the gate/door being incorrect in the message that was sent to me, but after figuring out the correct code, it was a perfect stay!

This place was amazing! Close to everything on the Northshore! Quiet and local pool was extremely nice and away to end nights!

This is the absolute best Airbnb I have been to! Perfectly described and in the perfect location. Nicole was an awesome host! We wish we could stay forever!

Great place - such an incredible sunrise and you are literal steps away from the water. It was a great place to really unwind by the pool and away from the bustle of Honolulu! Would highly recommend this to anyone who wishes to be in a quieter side of the island with killer views and water access!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Jeanine’s place. We were visiting for our daughter’s wedding, and the apartment was perfect in terms of amenities and location. The fact that it was so close to Turtle Bay resort was also helpful as much of the wedding party was there.

What a lovely spot to spend some time! The beach is right at your doorstep, and the room is stocked with everything you could need - snorkels, a cooler, hairdryer, umbrella, and more. The host was super helpful and even let us check in early without any issues when we arrived ahead of schedule.

What a perfect and quaint place to stay if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of Honolulu. Condo was clean and was stocked with everything we needed. The lanai had the perfect view for sunrises and sunsets. Literally steps away from the beach which was lovely. Host made everything clear during check in and check out, I didn’t even need to contact them for anything! I would definitely stay here again. Thank you!

My husband and I stayed at the Hawaiian Princess on our honeymoon, and I can only describe it in five words: Quiet, comfortable, clean, safe, and relaxing! We would stay here again on a future vacation and highly recommend it.

This Airbnb is walking distance from the Ritz and turtle Beach so super convenient to enjoy luxury amenities while not paying luxury prices. The Airbnb was perfect for 2, we slept on the pullout couch instead of the loft. It was great to have a washer dryer, full kitchen, and ac! Sandra even provided beach towels, snorkel gear, tennis rackets, it was a nice and kind surprise. The neighborhood was quiet and a nice change from the hustle of Honolulu and had access to the best beaches and food half an hour in each direction. Parking was closeby to the unit and made it so easy to check in and leave with luggage. We would definitely be back!

Emmanuel is an attentive and gracious host. His condo is on a gorgeous and secluded beach area. We loved sitting on the lanai and listening to the ocean in the morning and evening. We also loved the quiet atmosphere of the condo community, with very friendly neighbors. This condo makes the perfect base for exploring North Shore area beaches and food markets, while coming home to peaceful spot.

Staying at this lovely condo in Turtle Bay helped us start our Hawaii trip with deep relaxation and ease. It had everything we needed and more including beach towels, chairs and umbrella, fully stocked kitchen and a huge comfy king bed all in super well decorated surroundings. Easy walk to the public beach and hotel restaurants! We loved our time on the North Shore so much and this place was the perfect spot to come back to.

We had a lovely time at this property. It was easy to find, clean, and had everything we needed for our week at Turtle Bay. We especially enjoyed the outdoor patio for our morning coffee. When we discovered that we were in need of trash bags, I messaged the host and I had a new supply in my hand within 15 minutes. We walked up to the Ritz to watch the surfers and the sunset a few times, it's just beautiful! And Lei Lei's restaurant had great food and service. All in all, a great property and host that we would highly recommend. Aloha!

Nicely redone condo right on the beach with a peek-a-boo ocean view. Far from the hustle of Honolulu.

By far, our favorite Airbnb ever! We were so lucky to have found it and sad to have to leave it. It is absolutely wonderful. The location on the north shore of Oahu is perfect - close to many beautiful beaches and the Turtle Bay resort. We took advantage of the walking trails nearby and along the coast. Spectacular views! The space comfortably accommodated 6. No AC except in the master bedroom, but we never missed it - we had a cool ocean breeze and slept wonderfully - the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen is very well stocked and the coffee was much appreciated. So many thoughtful touches made this rental feel cozy and like home. The host thought of every little thing you might need when traveling and was extremely responsive and helpful. Highly recommend, don’t miss this one!!

We had the opportunity to actually MEET Theresa, and her pet dog Eha. She took us on a walking tour through the Turtle Bay complex of the Ritz/Carlton, and then went back to the condo and just visited for about an hour. She's originally from Colorado, but moved to Hawaii a number of years ago and made it her home. The condo is located on the #18 green of the Turtle Bay Fazio course, which is supposed to be opened in August 2025. It's a beautiful location. Theresa has all of the goodies that you'd need for a great North Shore trip - umbrella, chairs, snorkeling equipment, even pickleball gear. It was a great trip, and I hope we get the opportunity to do this again sometime.

There is no denying that the condo is a dream! We stayed in Makaha for a whole week and loved every second. We enjoyed the private location away from the hustle of packed touristy beaches. We spent hours watching the scenery and sunsets from the perch of the 9th floor lanai which overlooks the water — the condo’s binoculars even made the sea turtle watching more incredible! The beach is clean and uncrowded for some peaceful seaside sun, and the pool always had a chaise lounge open. Sandra is incredibly proactive and responsive and we appreciate the hospitality. We felt comfortable in the condo and love the provided amenities including the beach chairs, masks and snorkels, and beach umbrella. We highly recommend and look forward to returning again! :)
