Beachfront Home at the world famous Banzai Pipeline

The location of this property is spectacular. We had several humpback whale sightings, including a mom and baby right off the beach and three whales breaching/romping over and over, close-in directly in front of the house - our personal show! Stunning beach and private home, although do not expect to swim in front of house alot given strong currents at times. Nearby food truck vendors were fantastic. Close to groceries - where all the mac nuts, snorkel and beach gear you could need are avail, fantastic poke, too. Hale'iwa town is historic and charming. Lazy days on the beach without the press of tourists. Snorkeling at Turtle Bay. Waimea Valley waterfall - so special. North Shore at its best. Special spirit of place. Some beach gear left behind from others; we added donations. Property meant for small group, unlike the large renovations in the area. Steps from famous Volcom house and other surf legends of Pipeline beach. Traffic leaving north shore in afternoons requires planning. We did a paddle-along outrigger canoe ride on Waikiki beach like my sis and I did as kids. Super special for surfer nephews to get to connect a little with the soul of aloha that way (in spite of the vegas-feel of waikiki). Great homebase for Oahu visit. If we return to this house, we would not leave the north shore at all. Note: ask all questions of host prior to booking - once confirmed for the rental there is a zero refund cancellation policy. aloha

What you are paying for with this home is location, which is awesome. Pipe, Sunset, Shark's Cove, food tucks and grocery store are all within a 15 minute walk at the farthest. The driveway is also gated.The home is an older beach house with a spacious side yard and is clean and well maintained. Showers and appliances work well. The sleeping loft seems like it would be fun for kids but you cannot stand in it, it's a crawler even for a petite adult although It has a great view of the ocean.The host was easy to communicate with and we had no issues during our stay. We did not need it but note that the AC does cost a little bit extra to use.

Great location in a beautiful part of an awesome island.

Amazing. Be back as soon as life allows. Thank you.

Great location and wonderful beach and views. Everything worked. House needs some modest updates to make it more comfortable. Great for two people.

If you want to truly experience Oahu's North Shore during winter, stop looking and book this property right away. There were two of us traveling for our wedding anniversary, and the house was perfect. For our future trips, this is the ONLY property we'll be booking. It is well appointed, the kitchen is large, and the panoramic windows and full-length porch are perfect for the spectacular view and sunsets. From first to last light, the view and the ocean sounds are stunning. Each morning, we enjoyed coffee and breakfast with the doors open and the waves pounding. When we weren't on the beach right in front of the house, we were on the porch. The house is the perfect balance between being nicely finished while retaining the charm many of the beachfront houses used to have before investors built huge houses. There's even a large yard for morning stretches and workouts. The house is conveniently situated on the bike/foot path to get you to/back from the Foodland and the food trucks to the south to the beaches north of Pipeline. If you're there in the winter, you'll see the world's best surfers surfing some of the world's most iconic waves. 1 note: large trucks can't get into the parking spot. 1 issue: hot water takes a long time in the secondary shower. Specifically for surfers: the house is technically between Off The Wall & Rockpiles in a spot that, when the sand has filled in, is called Annihilators. Super tricky and dangerous even at small size. Pipe is 100 yards north.

This place is a true gem with Off the Wall right out front and pipe just up the way. The house has a such a great feel and the perfect layout. This is one of those places you hesitate to leave a good review because you want to keep it a secret!

This was our 30th anniversary. Great location right on the beach. Fantastic sunsets and very secluded beach with virtually no one else. The place is small but was perfect for us. Very clean and well maintained and appointed

We loved the house and its location!

Great location
