Kawela Kai 493: North Shore Beach Front

We loved this place :) Only downside was the couch -it came apart easily due to its ratan nature but otherwise, everything went well:) Would definitely stay here again! Beautiful property and area .

We stayed here for a week and absolutely enjoyed this home. My family of 4 and our friend’s family of 4 both shared this home. It is big enough to house 4 upstairs and four downstairs. The house was very clean. The beds were comfortable. The air conditioning is only in the rooms but kept the rooms very cold and comfortable. The beach view is beautiful. We loved the outdoor patio and yard. It was very private and quiet. Communication with our host was good. We enjoyed our time at this home and would book again.

Beautiful property and location. North Shore I've always wanted to experience.

I hate to be the person to leave a bad review, that isn’t in my nature, but I think people should know before booking that the home has mold. We arrived and turned on the ac and proceeded to find an abundance of mold in multiple units. Pictures sent to VRBO’s health and safety unit as well as third party contractors/ac experts confirmed it was indeed unsafe. Anyone educated in mold knows that this isn’t the kind of thing that can just be wiped away and hidden without the proper protocol. It needs to be mitigated and taken care of the right way for the safety of others. After looking at their other property reviews I see another one of their homes had the same problem. I would also note they do not have an actual pack n play, it was a bassinet and that would have put us in a real bind had we have not left because of the mold.

We enjoyed our stay! Beautiful location, very helpful and welcoming.

Fantastic property. Beautiful beach front setting. Communication with host was seamless. Convenient to multiple North Shore beaches. Property amenities were satisfactory to our family needs (6 total). One thing to be aware of is that the living room is furnished with outdoor/deck furniture (functional, just not comfortable) rather than traditional indoor pieces. The property could benefit from additional bureaus or dressers for clothing storage. Would definitely stay at this property again!

Kitchen came fully equiped woth the cooking ware we needed. Beach towels were provided and sun protection. Beach was extemely rocky though.

Responsive host and beautiful location

It’s the perfect location! Rainbows over the water in the morning and beautiful sunsets at night. It’s heaven on earth!

Absolutely Amazing Stay! We had the most incredible time! The location is unbeatable, right on the beach with stunning sunsets and direct access to the ocean. It’s such a peaceful and relaxing spot, truly perfect for unwinding. The house itself was wonderful, clean, and comfortable.A few small improvements would make it even better: a gas grill and a small beach cooler. But honestly, those were tiny details compared to how perfect the stay was overall. We’re already counting down the days until we can come back. Highly recommend this beautiful, AMAZING, beachfront home!

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved the location, views and privacy. However, the afternoon sun baked the house except for the two first floor bedrooms. The a/c units are not adequate for this house. The a/c window unit upstairs needs to be replaced as it blew slightly cool air at the best. We texted and emailed the owner/management company about this, but never got a response. I was most bothered by the lack of response. Also, the living room needs a real sofa. It only has an outdoor wicker sectional that would not stay together. I would not rent from this company again or this house until the air conditioning if working properly.

Beautiful and peacefulWe needed a couple more days

Amazing!

Loved it. The view is incredible. We love the north shore and can’t wait to be back. House was as advertised. Property manager was great, had a problem with the tv when we arrived and she was there the next day taking care of it.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We could not have asked for a better rental for our family vaction of 8 adults. The home was clean and well maintained. We enjoyed every day either on the beach a few yards to the right of the stairs or a 5 minute drive down the road. The kitchen was perfect for everyone to grab a quick breakfast, lunch or snacks. Dinner was obtained from the plentiful and high quality food trucks and stands right along the roadway. Every ones tastes and preferences could be accommodated without debate. The sunsets every night are spectacular. Would highly recommend this rental.

Fantastic property and was perfect for our family to stay in for a week! Would love to come back!

Very good stay

We all enjoyed our stay, we love this part of the North Shore, just wonderful location.

Easy to find, check in easy, beds comfy. Having a nice backyard lawn was fun and we did bbq. The couch in the house is outdoor furniture not comfy. It also can use some containers for left overs. A/C worked great. The view is priceless. To get to the water/beach you do have to go down about 10 stair steps FYI. Beach right there is not a swimming beach but nice if you have small children. You can walk a short distance to be able to get in. We were here in February so bigger waves. Its a beautiful house

Such an amazing North Shore home away from home! Could not have been more perfect! Very well appointed house on the water. Epic waves and sunsets! Traffic on the North Shore was the only downside of our visit. I'd highly recommend staying here and hope to return in the future. Plenty of room for a large family or couples. Thank you for making our vacation amazing!

Loved our stay at this piece of paradise.

The view was spectacular! Nothing more relaxing than sitting in the back deck and taking in the waves. It also was 5 minutes away from The Ritz, which has a nice beach for swimming. We also loved the parade of chickens that would come through the backyard in the morning!

Kids were on the beach for hours playing in the tide pools. The view was wonderful

Very cute peaceful beach house just steps from the water crashing. Enjoy the most beautiful sunsets from the comfort of the deck.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful time. The house was comfortable and worked great for our family of three. There was room for 4 others. The house was close to all the North Shore attractions such as beaches and food trucks. It was so peaceful and we loved sitting on the deck with the three kitties who live there. The property manager Sarah was very responsive to our questions. We would love to return.

Word of caution, the upstairs master suite is not fully closed off, so you will hear everything!! That was rough. Had to wear headphones to sleep.

We loved our stay here and would love to come back again! Very clean, the view was amazing (sunset!) and we loved the beach access.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice location along the North Shore. House was perfect for a family and/or couples. Grass backyard that continues to the beach; beautiful! Has all the amenities you’ll need for kitchen, bathrooms and laundry. Has a few beach toys too in the outside shower (boogie boards, fins, floaties, etc.). Loved it!

The view was amazing, the privacy fantastic. The beach is not one you swim in but those are very nearby. The house itself is comfortable thought the A/C upstairs is lacking. Thankfully my kids didn’t mind too much. Absolutely recommend this property

Love everything about this property. You can sit on the back deck and watch the sunset every night! Great location to all North shore activities. Great place for my family vacation. Would stay here again.
