Oceanfront in Punaluu, sleep to the sound of waves!
About this condo rental
This is the most perfect white sandy beach and welcoming turquoise water on the North Shore and perhaps the whole island of Oahu, where you can snorkel all day protected by the reef. You can float for hours, stand up paddle or kayak. Lounge chairs are provided in the shade for those just wanting to read a book under swaying palm trees. Boogie boards, sand toys, snorkels, and an umbrella are ready to make your beach day complete. Turtles and fish are complimentary! Wake up to a gorgeous sunrise, and walk up and down a quiet beach to soothe your soul. Outdoor dining area means all meals can be outside, from an amazing sunrise to a golden sunset. Meanwhile the turtles, whales & fish are all at play and you may be lucky enough to enjoy their company! One large bedroom with a Cal King bed, deluxe mattress topper, large closet, dresser & nightstands. Queen sofa bed is comfy and has a deluxe mattress topper as well. This unit has been renovated with a new kitchen & bathroom, freshly painted. Bedding & linens constantly updated. Original art through out just gives you the cozy feel of home. The off shore tradewinds are Hawaii's year round natural AC. Front screen door allows the breeze to go right through, in addition to 2 ceiling fans. Questions about more than 30 day stays can be sent direct. We are only 20 minutes away from world famous Turtle Bay Resort & golf course, Polynesian Cultural Center, famous Kahuku food trucks. 30 minutes away you will find Pipeline, Sharks Cove, Waimea Falls and the wonderful town Haleiwa. Haleiwa has lots of shopping & restaurant options. Dole Plantation is near by and a must for their pineapple ice cream! There is so much to do if you want to be busy, but if you just want quiet there a palm tree with your name on it! We are in a very quiet area with two Mom & Pop grocery stores across the street and 3 food trucks, and a cute coffee takeaway. Larger grocery stores and gas stations are within a 5 minute drive. NOTE: Our building is undergoing some construction for spalling repair. Our unit has been completed. The 3-9th floors above us are being worked on Mon-Fri between 8am-4 pm. As they have moved up the stack the noise is less and less but from April to Sept you me see scaffolding and hear noise during the day. The pool hours are limited to 5pm-9pm weekdays and always open on weekends. We have lowered our rates to accommodate for these disruptions. Our guests have not been bothered by the work going on. Our unit gets the crashing of the waves and the Tradewinds blowing which seem to cancel out the work noise. We can send photos as the works progresses through the summer if you would like. The work is necessary to keep our building safe & up to today's standards, we are excited that our particular unit is done and ready to host you & your family. You can take lots of day trips along the North Shore and even Waikiki, coming back to the enjoy swimming and snorkeling, and bbq weekends.

Right next to beach. Quiet area of island that we really enjoyed. Everything works in unit and it is very clean! There is no oven in the unit but there is a small countertop air fryer/oven appliance. The bed is pretty comfortable. Lots of cups, glasses, plates, etc. The elevator is next to the bedroom - it is pretty quiet though and didn’t hinder my sleep at all. It was lovely listening to the surf all day/night!!

The outside of building is old, but they are in the process of redoing it. The view to the ocean is incredible and the beach is so nice and not alot of people like the public beaches. We saw lots of turtles. Bed in condo was comfortable and the space in conda was great for us. We loved sitting out on the patio every day.

We've stayed in a number of VRBOs in Hawaii and being beachfront is always my number one priority. Hands down, this property has the best beach that I've ever had the pleasure of enjoying. The beach is absolutely private and steps from the condo. The water is gentle and relaxing as there is a reef further out that breaks the surf up. The condo is nicely updated and decorated. For those that are light sleepers, you should be advised that the bedroom faces the parking lot, road and is next to the elevator. We wore earplugs and had to keep the windows shut which made getting a cross breeze at night difficult but we were okay with the fans on. The bed was very comfortable. Carol was incredibly helpful and responsive to messages. Overall, it was a wonderful visit and we would definitely stay at Carol and Janet's place again!

We needed a quiet and relaxing atmosphere after we both lost all of our parents in the first 6 months of this year. This was the perfect place, with an incredible host. The condo was beautiful and clean; very well thought-out. The beach was right there so we never did use the pool. It was fun watching and snorkeling with the turtles right off the beach. We will return should we visit the North Shore again!

Overall, being able to wake up in the morning and walking out right on to one of the most beautiful beach on Oahu was amazing! The best part was waking up during sunrise with my son and walking towards the left side of the beach and seeing sea turtles, crabs, various types of birds and even sea cucumbers at the end of the beach. This trip felt like being in paradise while we were there.

If you don’t want the hustle of the busy Waikiki and want more of a quiet, countryside, oceanfront experience right out your back door, then stay here. Fall asleep to the sounds of the ocean and wake to the roaming Roosters then take 20 steps to the sand and waves crashing! Sea turtles come up on shore just before dark so perfect for a sunset stroll.
Carole was a perfect host and has thought of every amenity for the space!! It’s an open floor plan with the perfect breeze way for the ocean air to circulate!
Food trucks are walking distance which was perfect!
There is construction at the site but only during week days and we were gone most days so it didn’t effect us. The work is mostly at the far right end currently so it wasn’t too bad where we were the times we were there during the day.

We had a terrific stay at this ground floor condo. The unit was tastefully decorated and the owner was very helpful. Even though there is some ongoing work on the building, the grounds were nicely landscaped, the beach was clean and the views from the lanai, anytime of the day, were awesome. Thanks Carole, see you soon.
Would stay here again. Thanks Carole.

We absolutely adore the Windward side and this building location - right on the beach, pool access and close to the north shore. We wish it was a little cleaner and smelled better, and that the beds would have been made up for four since we paid $80 extra for more people… we made our beds and stripped them. The bathroom smelled and the owners acknowledge in the delapedated binder that they know that fan doesn’t work… with four people pooping and showering in that small bathroom, it was miserable to get ready or even be in. We had to buy stuff to wash the floor mats and towels because they smelled after one use - bring laundry soap/tabs, charcoal for the grill, and essentials you need for a week in another house. Not much provided. Bare minimal.
Thank you for letting us check in when the cleaners were done so we could lock up our bags - overall the trip was nice, just wish we knew more in advance, from the listing. Aloha.

You just can’t beat the location - right on the beach! With a reef that keeps the swimming area very safe for all. I’d get up in the morning and have my coffee on the chaise lounge chair (that the hosts kindly provide) while watching the waves, palm trees, and birds. Our days were filled with beach and swimming or exploring the North Shore experiences (surfing, sunsets, waterfalls, luaus, Polynesian Center, etc). The hosts have thought of everything in this bright, newly renovated, super clean and well decorated suite. The decor is beachy and fresh. There are all the amenities and more - even a blender, air fryer, iron, and clothes steamer. The fresh warm breeze blows through the suite and the two ceiling fans work great to keep things cool. The hosts answer very promptly and checked in by text/email to make sure we arrived and found everything ok. This is truly the best place I’ve ever stayed! We were blessed to be able to stay in this lovely beachfront property! Thank you Carole and Jane.

We had a lovely trip.
We enjoyed our stay. The beautiful beach is just a few steps away and was perfect for laying out and swimming. The beach was quiet and private, with hardly anyone around. The sunrise was beautiful. My daughter loved the boogie boards and snorkel gear that was provided. The bed was comfortable. Loved having a fully stocked kitchen and having breakfast out on the lanai. Having a washer and dryer in unit was definitely a plus.

This place was definitely amazing. The check in process was seamless. I get to the place and the keys were in a lock box so that once the code was entered, I was able to get them and open the front door.
As I walked inside, I notice the place was very clean and everything was new. The bedroom had a nice king size bed, with many pillows and clean linens. The closet had extra pillows and a queen size linen for the sofa bed. It also had extra blankets and many other things that you would need at home.
The bathroom was very clean with a washer and dryer. Washing detergent, fabric softener were stocked under the sink. Everything that you might need to use for taking showers and for washing clothes were already stocked.
The kitchen was also well stocked. From dishes, to silverware, garbage bags, and dish soap. It had a dishwasher, electric oven, microwave and a fridge.
Outside you have a patio table setup, great in enjoying the ocean view and breathing the fresh ocean air, while eating lunch or dinner. Also there is a bin full of goodies. In it, there are boogie boards, snorkeling gears, and floaties. There is also beach chairs and umbrellas for the beach. You also have access to the amenities, the pool, barbecue grill, gym, and picnic area.
Location of the condo is on the ground floor, so all we had to do was walk out and setup on the beach, which is why I really liked the location.
Communication with the property manager was great. Any questions I had, she answered right away and she also checked in on you to confirm that all was good.
Overall my family and myself really enjoyed staying in this place. It is very good location, vey clean, well stocked, and a GREAT property manager to deal with. No complaints and will be back next year.
