Heavenly Hawaii at your feet! Sandy toes, great swimming, lovely place awaits.
E Komo Mai (Welcome to my home). As your host and a thirty-three year resident of Oahu, I offer you the best of my experience and love of the islands. Let me share my fondness of Hawaii with you.
Perfect for your 180+ day immerse-yourself-in-Hawaii study or work get away! Whether single, a couple, or family near a great beach in a cherished part of "the Gathering Place" of Hawaii. Allow yourself the luxury of a perfect Hawaiian place nestled in a charming neighborhood between access to the outside world and the most delicious white sand beach that your toes will ever sink into. Just a few short steps from our home on our beach lane and you will find yourself transported to an ocean world free of care in God's wonderful ocean. A coral reef protects the shoreline so that gentle waves lap at your feet. As you stroll past the calm waters and the natural tidal pool, fondly known as "alligator pond" you will have access to deeper water and larger waves for the more adventurous swimmer.
I will do my best to guide you from the best local entertainment, ie. the Polynesian Cultural Center (1.75 miles away), to sightseeing, surfing activities, fine dining, Turtle Bay Resort, and more.
Located just 31.5 miles from the airport and a mostly shoreline view drive, the turquoise waters will follow and welcome as you approach your destination. Your private suite entrance opens to a spacious 20 by 30 living area opening to a lovely lanai (patio) garden. The exquisitely appointed classic Hawaiian decor with its open room allows for a feeling of freedom and relaxed flow. The suite has a large comfortable sleeping area with king bed separates from the main living area. Included are four twin beds in the main living area to accommodate up to a total of six + in the main suite. The bedroom is perfect for study or separate seclusion. If the 'simple life' is more to your taste, waken in the morning to the songs of Hawaiian doves playing in our Norfolk pine and 3 palms. Or listen for the soft whispering of the surf in the late evening as you stroll to the water for a tidal pool swim. You may never want to leave.
If you need time to explore Hawaiian life as you contemplate an eventual move to Hawaii, whether for business or pleasure, you will have it. You can stay for as long as you wish. Kent is a Real Estate Broker and can help you find a home to meet your needs. I will gladly help in everyway possible.
My fondest Aloha!

We loved our stay. The beach is steps away and very private. Very close to north shore attractions.
We love our time here. You will too!

It's always a pleasure to meet my guests and make my guests feel better here than they do at home. Jennifer and her family was wonderful and I will always cherish having known them.
Perfect location for a getaway and relaxation. Kent was most accommodating. We had all amenities that we could ever need

Very nice private apt. Comfortable beds, full kitchen and even a washer/dryer.
Everything you need for a pleasant stay! Lots of condiments so you don't have to buy a lot of grocery items. Just a short walk to the beach and very close to Polynesian Cultural Center, Turtle Bay and other north shore attractions. Great to come back to such a comfortable place after a full day of site-seeing or beach.

Beautiful
It’s perfectly described, it’s clean. It’s well located, it’s comfortable, it’s larger than you imagine. Sleeps comfortably! Well maintained, the beach is perfect 😍 a minute walk, easy access. We slept 5 adults and two teens perfect !
The local roosters were fine, it was such a cool vibe, as if we belonged.
The homeowners are fantastic and accommodating. I can go on and on and on...
I would definitely return.
Thanks you for your kind hospitality

Arlene, your family are our ideal guests! I love it when a large group finds our place “just right” for them.
Come back to us soon!
Aloha,
Lani and Kent
Our family wanted to stay away from the hustle and bustle of Honolulu, and we wanted stay near a lush green landscape that was close to the beach, this rental is exactly that. You can see the ocean from the driveway and be on the virtually empty beach in 90 seconds. We felt like locals living on a this quiet small street. A local grocery, drugstore and several restaurants are a 5 minute walk away. You can drive and experience Oahu from this location easily. Our host Kent was so gracious and welcoming, he truly showed us the “aloha spirit”. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you Kent!

Our first time rental in Hauula
We come to Oahu several times a year to visit our daughter. This was the first time we stayed in Hauula. Our rental was a very private part of a private home. All of our expectations were met and more for our lengthy stay. The accommodating owners were available at any time to address any issues. Just a short walk to the beach and parks, a short drive to shopping, and almost direct access to the bus route. Not far from any North Shore area you may want to visit. The most welcoming window air conditioner is a plus to drown out the free range roosters early morning wake up calls. We will be back!

A pleasure to host such wonderful guests. When you return, you will find a higher speed upgrade on the Internet and the two competing Roosters will be relocated!
Our family loved the time we spent at Kents place on the north shore of Oahu.
It’s about a 50yd walk from the beach and nearby to local stores.
Kent and his wife were very welcoming and happy to give advice on places to check out.
Would HIGHLY recommend!
Very lucky to find this rare of a gem. The value of this place what it can offer was hard to find. Kent made sure you have everything you need to make your vacation as comfortable and as fun as you can you have. Beach chairs and body boards and other beach accessories that you might need are provided. It is less than a minute walk to a beautiful almost secluded beach that offers this amazing sunrises and sunsets. Very close to Polynesian Cultural Center if you want to experience, learn the Hawaiian history and it’s hard to beat Luau and Ha Breath of life Show (it’s a must and book early). If you’re in for an adventure kayak and hike to the top of China Man’s Hat, from there you have this jaw dropping view of the Koolau mountains. Kent’s place is not far from North Shore’s famous beaches. It’s very close to local eateries and food trucks. Kent is a very accommodating host, made us feel it’s our home away from home. We were disappointed that his place was not available for an extended stay. It mets all the check lists and beyond that my family needed for an excellent vacation. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you Kent.
Kent was so inviting and helpful. The property was perfect for our needs; everything we needed was provided.
Probably the part we liked best was its location so close to the beach. We enjoyed several beautiful sunrises. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to stay close to North Shore and away from the crowds of Honolulu/Waikiki.
Overall we enjoyed our stay at Kent's place. Kent is a very nice guy and was always friendly when we chatted with him. The best part of the house is that it is only a few hundred feet from the beach! It was essential to us to have a washer, dryer and refrigerator, which this house did have. We loved the short distance to the North Shore, which was where we spent much of our time. Overall, this house worked well, as we were only there to sleep and for quick breakfasts in the morning.
The property was exactly as presented in the listing and pictures. Comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. It was nice to be able to cook for ourselves in the kitchen and do laundry. The backyard was a nice reprieve, though the patio furniture needs some TLC. Not only is it steps from the beach, it is also just a short drive from the Polynesian Cultural Center, which we highly recommend! We easily drove to the North Shore and took in the breathtaking views along the way. Kent was super helpful with restaurant and grocery store directions. Overall, we absolutely loved our time and are very grateful for the experience.
We really enjoyed our stay here. It was close to many fun places to explore. The space was very big and comfortable for our family of four. Kent was a helpful and accommodating host. Everything we needed was supplied including beach chairs and boogie boards. We would happily stay here again on our next visit!
Amazing amenities and close to a rarely frequented beach
Check in was easy and everything was as stated in the listing. Kent was so accommodating and helpful. Great location and we were so glad to be away from all the crowds. We would definitely stay here again and we hope to some day.
This was the perfect location for a family trip. We were able to do many activities around Laie, and the north shore. We snorkled at Turtle Bay, Sharks Cove, and right at the beach down the street. Kent was a great host and very helpful. Would stay here again if I were traveling to Hawaii again.
Our stay at Kent's home was wonderful. It was everything we expected and more. We enjoyed the boogie boards, beach chairs, beach towels and more that was provided by Kent for our use during our stay. Kent was easy to reach if we had any questions and was so much help. We loved the access to the beach just at the end of the street. The neighbors were noisy at times, but it only bothered us one night when we were in bed and they were will loud at midnight during the weekend. We didn't say anything, since we knew they were having a birthday party. The home was clean, and had everything we needed. We would recommend Kent's place to everyone!! It was also such a great price!! We looked at many locations and nothing compared to this one, and I think for being one of the best priced we couldn't have asked for anything better! Thank you Kent for your wonderful hospitality.
Mahalo!
We enjoyed our stay at Kent's property for all the reasons stated by other reviewers. It was a perfect base to explore the north and east sides of the island. The space was a little bigger than we expected and met our needs. The value is exceptional.
Great experience our host Kent was kind and helpful. Very large apartment, plenty of beach gear and towels. You can’t go wrong with this lovely place.
