The cottage and the hosts were both superb. We had everything that we needed. The location was just as described...5 minute walk to the beautiful beach. We liked being further from town as the neighborhood was quiet and pretty. We hope to stay there again.

Enjoyed our stay! Walking to the beach was great - it was really nice to be in a neighborhood. We noted that the tree covered walkway to the beach was very clean. People obviously take care of the surroundings. The house was a lovely one bedroom stand alone space that was thoughtfully landscaped - we were able to leave windows open and it still felt very private. It was clean and comfortable. We stay in a fair number of rentals and this was one I would recommend to friends!

About the host

Hosted by Alana

Host profile image
I’m Alana, a lifelong Hawaiʻi resident and proud Kamehameha Schools graduate. I grew up here on Oʻahu and have deep roots in the local community and Hawaiian culture. When I’m not hosting, I love spending time with my kids, surfing, and being outdoors. I’m also a world traveler, and I bring what I’ve learned from my travels into hosting—creating a space that feels comfortable, thoughtful, and easy for guests. I love sharing local recommendations and helping visitors experience the North Shore in a way that feels genuine, respectful, and unforgettable.

Why they chose this property

The North Shore—especially the Haleʻiwa area—has always felt like home to me. This neighborhood is quiet, laid-back, and surrounded by nature, with easy access to the ocean, surf spots, and beautiful beaches, while still being close to town for food, shopping, and culture. It’s a true local beach community where families live, kids play outside, and life moves at a relaxed pace. I love that it offers the real North Shore experience without the crowds.

What makes this property unique

This guesthouse is unique because it offers rare privacy on a gated estate while still being walkable to the beach and close to world-famous North Shore surf spots. Set on approximately an acre of land, it feels peaceful and secluded, surrounded by tropical trees and open space. The home is thoughtfully equipped with everything guests need—including all beach gear—and designed with comfort, simplicity, and island living in mind. It’s the kind of place where you can slow down, surf, explore, and truly feel at home on the North Shore.
