Not only are you surrounded by the world famous beaches of the North Shore of O’ahu at Hale Nalu, your backyard extends out into the Pacific Ocean, making for an unforgettable beach vacation. Sleeping up to 14 guests and with two separate kitchens and living spaces, this six bedroom, four bathroom home spread over two completely separated floors not only offers your large family ample space, but also serves as a retreat where they can relax as they listen to the sounds of waves lapping along the shoreline and gaze out at the seemingly endless ocean, located just steps from your back door. A lava rock wall, video surveillance, and custom sliding gate surround this beautiful property for added security and privacy. (Please note that the upstairs and downstairs portions are separated by an exterior staircase and not connected on the interior.) A comfortable sitting area welcomes you as you enter the open concept great room on the main floor, the perfect place to curl up with a book or plan your day with other members of your family who might be seated at the indoor dining table, cooking in the kitchen, or lounging in the living room. The kitchen is updated and spacious, with stainless steel appliances, lots of natural light thanks to the sliding glass doors that open up to the backyard, and a breakfast bar with seating for four. The adjacent living room is bright and beachy, with plush furniture, a flatscreen TV, and pocket doors that frame the incredible view of the lanai, backyard, and bright blue ocean beyond. Enjoy the cool breeze off the ocean as you relax on the covered lanai, outdoor gas grill, or nap in the hammock, hung between two palm trees. A convenient outdoor shower makes it easy to rinse off before settling in for a movie night. The first floor includes three bedrooms, including one with its own private ensuite, one with large windows and an ocean view, and one with bunk beds, great for kids. Upstairs, you’ll find a second, completely separate, open living space, which includes a full-size kitchen with stainless steel appliances, indoor dining for six with ocean views, a living room with a large sectional, and a sizable balcony where you can have your morning coffee. This floor boasts three additional bedrooms, all with mountain views, including a primary bedroom with a king-size bed and another room with bunk beds. There are also two modern, full-size bathrooms on this floor, one of which has a shower/tub combo in case you need to bathe the kids. The location of Hale Nalu can’t be beat. A bike path is accessible near the home that leads to coffee stands, shops, and other beaches in the area. You will undoubtedly spend much of your time swimming and surfing at the beach located immediately behind the home, but remember to make time for nearby Waimea Bay, where you can take part in the tradition of cliff jumping in the summer, or watch the monster waves roll in during the winter. Both Pipeline and Sunset Beach, two beaches with incredible waves which draw pro surfers year-round, are also in the vicinity. You can rent a stand-up paddle-board in Haleiwa and float along the Anahulu Stream for a laid-back adventure. Finally, visit the shops and restaurants in historic Haleiwa town, including Matsumoto’s for their famous shaved ice and Giovanni's Shrimp Truck where you can get a dozen jumbo shrimp cooked just the way you like it. Please be advised that you are staying in the country, close to the ocean. Ants, chickens, peacocks, geckos, termites, cockroaches and other animals live here and are a regular part of everyday life. We do treat for pests professionally and will always provide you with a clean well-kept home, but note that these types of visitors are not uncommon. The property will be made exclusively available to the renter for a full period of 30-days and no one else may occupy the property during that period. Rates based on a 30 day rental period.
