Description
Escape to your own private, country beach house paradise! The house is a six-bedroom, four-bath, two-story home on an acre beach lot with an outdoor Jacuzzi overlooking the ocean and an all sport court (paddle tennis, basketball, and badminton) in a fenced compound. Each floor has a master bedroom overlooking the ocean and there is a full kitchen on each floor so it is designed to accommodate 2 families. *Note- there is no access between floors inside the home. *AC added to 4 bedrooms!
There is a massage deck and hammock hidden in a tree-covered area for privacy and it is only yards from the beach. There is also an outdoor dining area that seats 10 under the trees for that perfect BBQ. There are beautiful views of the ocean from the wrap-around decks. It is literally one of the most beautiful protected bays in the Islands. Many of the older families in Honolulu have their private beach homes on this bay. The house is a quiet, upscale property which is popular with local artists, writers, etc.
The north shore takes you from the hustle of Honolulu to explore some of the most pristine beaches. Nearby beaches include Sunset Beach, Waimea Bay and Ehukai Beach.
Our country beach house is located on the Island of Oahu approximately one hour from Honolulu and the Airport.
The Hawaiian Islands have some of the most remote tropical rainforests in the world. Nevertheless, like any moist and fertile environment, you may find some ants, mosquitoes, roaches and critters like little geckos that share this beautiful world with humans. To keep out bugs, remember to close the doors right after entering. Don't leave food or crumbs on counters or tables and avoid eating at the bed because ants are really smart and fast.
Ring doorbell at front entrance.

Reviews
Moani Kai was a wonderful family friendly place to stay with a beautiful beach front view!
The view was incredible, the relaxed atmosphere of that side of the island was so great, Carole was very friendly and accommodating and helped us when we needed additional pack and plays for the grandchildren. We loved the hot tub, the sport court, the beach, the porch, the barbecue grill and table set up for family dinners was awesome and we loved the atmosphere in the evenings when we turned on the lights around the dinner table and the trees nearby that were lit, it was really very relaxing and inviting. Thanks so much for making our stay such a pleasant one!

"Great home, quiet location, helpful caretaker" This home was great for 6 couples celebrating our father's 80th birthday. The house was clean and well maintained. There was plenty of space for 12 adults to visit together, and cozy nooks for individuals to read and enjoy the property. The weather on this side of the island was very windy while we were there. My brother was able to kite board on the beach outside the back door. However, the last day was still and perfect. Carol, the care taker, was friendly and provided great ideas for beaches, food, hikes, etc. Thanks Carol and Lavish Getaways for making this such a great vacation. We want to come back.

Best Weekend Ever!!!!
The Moani Kai was absolutely beautiful....the house is well equipped inside and out........kitchen has everything you would need...... outdoors had surf boards, chairs, toys for kids, towels....just bring your swimsuit!! There's enough room to accommodate the young active ones and space for relaxing and peacefulness. The property is right on the beach yet private. We will rent again!!! The caretaker was friendly and helpful.

Awesome
We had the very best time at Moani Kai. Our children and their families spent four wonderful days at this totally enjoyable home. Being residents of O'ahu and most of our family coming in from the mainland we wanted to make sure that their stay was the best ever. Moani Kai did not disappoint. Highly recommended. I'd definitely stay here again.

Exceeded our expectations!
The only thing wrong with our 5 day stay was it was too short! The house was perfectly located right on the beach which was also beautiful with soft golden sand. We enjoyed lunches and drinks on the lanai with the gorgeous yard sloping to the beach. The house has a wide open feel and the kitchen was well equipped for cooking for 2 or 12. (The caretaker) was sweet and helpful and a pleasure to work with. Lavish Getaways did an excellent job presenting several options of properties for us to pick from. We can't thank everyone enough for helping us have our dream wedding.

We loved this place!
This house was perfect for our group of married children & our grandkids. It was even better than the pictures could show. We had so much space and the kids all commented how we never felt crowded. The yard was so great for the kids to run around in when they were done with the sand. The beach was so beautiful in a bay which had a break so the surf wasn't too scary for the little ones. The sport court was fun, too! The hot tub was working great. A guy even came mid-week to clean it. It was especially nice after a day at the beach! The caretaker was adorable and friendly. She checked in with us to make sure we didn't need anything but was never invasive. We found plenty to do right around the area. Lots of fun food places. Loved Papa Ole's for breakfast. My husband was on grill duty for dinners and commented that a newer and bigger BBQ would be great, but we were grateful for all of the extras provided that we weren't expecting. There are 2 washers & 2 dryers to use which was so helpful for our big group. The unit provided plenty of beach & bath towels, lots of chairs in the yard for hanging out, and even beach toys for the kids. There were boogie boards & surf boards. There was DW soap & even TP...Just a few nice things we didn't have to run out & buy! Our biggest Thank You to the owners & rental agency & the caretaker for helping our family vacation be the best it could be! Everyone loved it so much and we really hope we can come back again!! You gotta come here if you want to get away from the crazy Waikiki and feel how Hawaii is supposed to be.

Great Beach house!
I think our business club just found the best beach house ever! It was a really nice getaway! The property was gorgeous and more than we could ask for! They had everything from towels to pots and pans to beach towels/mats to even buckets and shovels to go crab hunting! The house even came with dry branches ready for the fire pit sitting outside by the lawn ready for a bonfire and of course s'mores! We literally only needed our change of clothes! We were very surprised they even provided board games of every sort we could imagine and cable TV! The house itself was very clean and tidy and we felt like we were in a hotel but better. It was nice and private and there was easy and close access to the beach. We could enjoy breakfast out on the big backyard and watch the sunrise on the beach! The shower out on the porch made cleaning up after the beach easy breezy! There was a tennis court and basketball hoop as well and the parking area was very spacious. We really enjoyed our stay here and hope to return again next year!!

Awesome!
My husband and I took our 3 grown children and spouses plus 10 grandchildren, of which 3 are babies to stay for the week and everyone agreed, it was a wonderful place to stay. We did struggle to find the house
This was perfect for our extended family vacation. There were a lot of different hang out spaces and activities on the doorstep in the form of a beach and pickleball court. Carol was very helpful, taking a photo of us so that we had a record of our time away. The grill was the only part of the property that we found to be in need of a clean before we used it, as there was a lot of built up grease. Overall, a wonderful experience.
We had been dreaming and planning this vacation for our family to come together and spend great quality time. IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT! From early morning sunrises, to chill time, Surf boarding lessons, Kualoa Ranch UTV rides, family photo shoot, Pearl Harbor, dinner cruise, Polynesian Cultural Center, Dole Plantation, pickle ball, food trucks and local shopping, we could not have had a better time. Great location, the house had everything we needed and we knew Carol was there to answer any question we might have. THANK YOU CAROL, you were an awesome host. We definitely will be planning a return trip.
Having planned our Family vacation for almost 2 years, this home was the focal point of our celebration. The house was pretty much as expected and what you see from the pictures. The patio and covered table out in the back yard were both central gathering places to relax and enjoy family dinners. The ocean breezes were cool and constant. The rain showers were typically light and brief. There were 13 of us, but there was plenty of space to relax, or get away if needed. We loved it! Worth ever dollar, a bunch of dollars! Would I do it again. Absolutely!
Relaxing setting, convenient to North Shore locations, and big enough for family and friends to gather all together for a trip of a lifetime! Carol was a great help and this VRBO beach and views were even better than advertised!
We loved spending time on the beach and playing pickle ball when we were spending time at the home. We also enjoyed the large outdoor grilling area for some of our dinners. Wild peacocks in the yard were a bonus!
This property was amazing! The location was great, the beds were comfy and it came with everything a big family would need. I wouldn’t hesitate to book this rental again. My suggestion: having a listing of all small appliances and anything else the house comes with. I didn’t know there were already some toiletries included (total bonus) and I wouldn’t have had to bug the caretaker as much if there was a document that told me the house had a drip coffee machine, blender, wine openers, etc. **my suggestion didn’t hinder my stay at all. The variety of household goods was great!
My family and I truly enjoyed this one of a kind property for our yearly vacation. Would recommend for anyone looking to stay near the North Shore!
We stayed here for 7 nights. Perfect for our family of 13. The beach was awesome and it was so wonderful to be able to walk right out the backyard to the beach. Carol was amazing as well! We enjoyed everything about this home!
Nicely mantained older updated home! Kitchen stocked with with everything we needed plus a Breville Espresso machine that made mornings even better!! An absolutely beautiful view from just about any spot you looked out and a pristine beach great for any water sport!! Super close to a food truck haven, the Polynesian Culture Center, a great fish market and a couple of well supplied grocery stores! Our on-site property manager was awesome to work with and super sweet!! If/when we come back to Oahu we would love to stay here again! Absolutely gorgeous house, yard and beach!!
This house is located right on one of the best beaches on the North Shore and is close to everything. It is well cared for and well equipped with just about everything you'll need including beach equipment. The caretaker Carol is very responsive if you need anything but otherwise invisible. We were 6 adults and 3 kids under 6 but never felt crowded in any way with so many areas to hang out together or alone. If you want a luau the Polynesian Cultural center is only 10 minutes away and is much, much more than you would ever expect. The entire trip was magical in large part because we had such a beautiful and spacious place to stay. If you are looking for a great value and convenient place on the North Shore this is it!
House is older than what appears in the pictures. Beware...lock on gate is difficult to open as numbers are wearing down. Bring a flashlight if gate needs to be opened in the dark. Driveway hard to find in the dark.
This was the perfect setting for a family reunion of 14. There are numerous places to just hang out and relax. The backyard literally stretches out to the sandy beach that is private other than ppl walking the
A little disappointed in this property, cleanliness, no towels for half of the people. It would have been nice to have been told where the washer and dryer were since there not in the house. We did have a lot fun at this property despite the few things I wrote above.
I wish that 4.5 stars was an option. This place is not quite 5 stars, yet 4 stars seems to harsh a review in my opinion. First the bad - the pictures make the house look like 5 stars. Yet the place is a tad rougher on the edges than the pictures present. It’s obviously a rental that gets a ton of use. Now for the good which all far outweigh the bad. Carol is fantastic. Very responsive leading up to our stay and quick to solve any issues that we had during our stay. Her customer service was outstanding. The location can’t be beat. A quiet, secluded beach, great boogie boarding waves, all the beach chairs and toys you’ll need, the lanai(s) are excellent. The sunrises were spectacular. An easy drive to other North Shore activities. An hour to Waikiki (take the drive down the east coast of the island, it’s beautiful!). The house is plenty big enough for a large mix of family. And you can easily hide out when they start to drive you crazy. AC in every bedroom was very nice. The kitchen is well stocked. We cooked breakfast and dinner in every day, had everything we needed, except for a coffee grinder. Could have used a coffee grinder. The bbq was clean and easy to start and operate. Pickle ball was also fun. You won’t be disappointed in renting this house for your family vacation.
Very spacious house Fantastic location Obviously very well appointed originally, time has taken its toll: no coffee maker, no wine glasses
Carol was very attentive to our needs but you barely knew she was on the same property. Location is great, easy access to everything. very private, the sport court was great getaway then kids where done at the beach.
Place was great! I think the only things that could have been better was the furniture, not very Comfortable for relaxing in for this price, Other than that we loved it the whole family loved it
I want to start by saying a house on the water is amazing and we enjoyed our stay. However, given the nightly price of this place, we fully expected a more updated, cleaner unit. We found a lot of dust in the rooms and bedding, had to do our own cleaning when we arrived, and felt the entire house was outdated and photos inaccurately depicted the condition of the property. You can tell this place is a rental that churns out people with little to no maintenance on the place. The photos definitely make the place look way nicer than it is and it can use a big facelift with room cleaning, updated linens and towels, new curtains (the curtains were all stained with some rust- master bedroom was the worst), updates to bathrooms, etc. We also weren’t aware there would be a caretaker right on the property. She was absolutely lovely but we felt that bit of information is something that would be nice to know prior to booking. Overall having family all under one roof was fantastic, and loved falling sleep to the sound of the ocean, however we personally don’t feel the value was in this unit until some Major updates and cleaning and maintenance is done. The value simply wasn’t there for the cost.
