Vacation rentals with outdoor seating in Kawela Bay

We had the best time here. So close to Waimea Bay which became our fav beach, it was less than a 10 min walk! Absolutely wonderful place to stay, also very kind and helpful host!

We had an unforgettable stay ! The location was perfect—just minutes from the beach and tucked away enough to feel peaceful and private. Waking up to mountains breezes and birdsong each morning was absolute paradise. The home itself was spotless and beautifully decorated with local touches. The kitchen was well-equipped. The host provided everything we needed—beach chairs, snorkel gear. Communication with the host was excellent—super responsive and helpful with local recommendations. We especially appreciated the personal touches like a welcome note and a list of nearby hidden gems (we discovered a great poke spot because of it!). We felt safe, comfortable.

We would highly recommend Cary’s place and will definitely come back! It is spacious, comfortable, well stocked, and in a great location. It’s Literally 1 block from one of the best beaches in the world. The house itself is large and comfortable, with dining tables, couches , 3 bathrooms etc. the house is really well stocked - everything to cook, AC units everywhere, and so many beach toys (wagons, chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, etc). Cary was also super responsive and helpful even with restaurant and other recommendations. The house could use a few minor maintenance repairs but nothing significant.

We enjoyed our stay there. Very clean, quiet, and in a nice secluded area. Pictures and description were very adequate. Melissa's instructions and details in her book were helpful too. Only thing I would suggest is darker curtains in the master bedroom. Sunrise is before 6 am and the light will wake you. We would definitely stay there again. Thanks for a great vacation!

Joe was a great host, he was very accommodating and responsive. Place was great with a lot of extras. Area was super nice and picturesque. His recommendations are spot on. Thank you so much!!

AvantStay Oahu was amazing throughout my booking process, leading up to my stay and throughout my stay in the rental home. The private community where the rental home is located is absolutely beautiful, and the security guards were very helpful at the gate leading into the gated community. The home was clean, beautiful and offered the accommodations and space that my family needed!

Good place, modern, and had a nice view from the yard of the natural beauty. lots of toys to take to the beach and in a nice gated community

In one word, AMAZING!!! Everything was exceptional, the only negative thing I can say is that now I have to buy a new bed at home because the bed at this place was incredible. The home was exactly as advertised, the views of the ocean were sensational. There were even extras for the beach such as coolers, snorkels, umbrellas, boogie boards and much more. Friendly and responsive hosts were there for us, even before we needed them. As long as you know where you are staying and are prepared for the drive, this place is a premium slice of heaven in heaven. Thank you for being part of our adventure.

Live Aloha in Kailua! I’ve been coming to Oahu for 15 years, this is by far my favorite space and place to stay in Hawaii. It is a quiet and safe neighborhood, everything you need for a day at the beach, and relaxing pool. Again, best place I’ve ever stayed at in Kailua. Close to beach and my favorite restaurants. The host is friendly and helpful with two wonderful doggies Zeus and Harvest, who I miss! This unit is affordable and gorgeous! Book it while you can! It is a gem! Pictures support experience and expectations. It is even more gorgeous than the photos. Have fun in the Sun. Aloha!

Amazing place to stay! Only hiccup was the code to the gate/door being incorrect in the message that was sent to me, but after figuring out the correct code, it was a perfect stay!

This place was amazing! Close to everything on the Northshore! Quiet and local pool was extremely nice and away to end nights!

Nicole’s condo was in the perfect location! Close to the Ritz Carleton Resort at Turtle Bay Beach. Beautiful area. Awesome restaurants in the area! We loved Beach House and LeiLei’s restaurants. The food was outstanding at both. The condo was super clean and had everything we needed. The bed was so comfy!! A little noise from upstairs tenants during the day but perfectly quiet at night. Beach chairs, floaty, umbrella & beach towels were provided. Turtle Bay Beach has public access & the Large Beach Umbrellas & lounge chairs are available to rent from Ritz Carlton. They have a service hut near the public entrance. Nicole was so communicative in detailing the house rules and how to get into her place. We had a great time!!

We loved our stay in Punaluu. To be able to walk out the back slider and out to the beach was incredible! We often walked on the beach in our pajamas to go see the turtles (between 9pm and 5 or 6am on the northern section). The beach on the property was calm for a quick swim, and it was easy to drive to other spots for more fish or more waves! There were plenty of kitchen supplies and we loved having a washer and dryer. There were 2 beach chairs and boogie boards which were fun especially at Hukilau beach. There were 2 sets of snorkels which were awesome at Sharks Cove as well. It was easy to do things in Laie or explore other places. We loved this location and felt like it was the perfect spot on Oahu to have vacation but not just feel like a tourist. The location is a little dated, but it was cute inside and had all we needed! To have an accessible beach out your backyard is a dream! Don't miss the turtles, either!! They were so fun to watch.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Jeanine’s place. We were visiting for our daughter’s wedding, and the apartment was perfect in terms of amenities and location. The fact that it was so close to Turtle Bay resort was also helpful as much of the wedding party was there.

This apartment is everything. I love how stocked and comfortable it is! I have stayed in Airbnb’s all over Europe and the US and this is exactly how an Airbnb should be! These hosts are fantastic and they even leave great treats for people! We are moving to Oahu but had to come home early due to a family emergency but once we are ready to head back, we will definitely stay here again.

What a perfect and quaint place to stay if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of Honolulu. Condo was clean and was stocked with everything we needed. The lanai had the perfect view for sunrises and sunsets. Literally steps away from the beach which was lovely. Host made everything clear during check in and check out, I didn’t even need to contact them for anything! I would definitely stay here again. Thank you!

Sandra’s condo was in a nice private location just down the road from the Ritz beach which was nice. The condo is well maintained and very clean. Equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Minutes to the Kahuku Sugar Mill withs lots of food trucks, etc. A short drive to all the amazing beaches. Very responsive host. Would recommend her condo for sure.

Tamara’s condo at Turtle Bay was ideal for our time at the North Shore. The condo was just as described. The kitchen was well supplied and clean, and there was beach equipment (floats, snorkels, masks and chairs) that we enjoyed using. The full bath was small, but there were plenty of towels and other necessities. The additional half bath upstairs was helpful for our family of 5, as was having a washer/dryer, which allowed us to pack a little lighter for our trip. The large screened windows and lanai allowed us to enjoy the ocean breezes as we enjoyed our morning coffee. Tamara provided lots of information on the area and the amenities upon booking. The grounds are beautiful, and we enjoyed walking around and swimming in the pool. We visited the beach at the resort, but we drove to Kawela Bay Beach about a mile down the road, which was secluded and peaceful. We felt like we were on our own private island and saw many turtles swimming around and sunning. Highly recommend this location!

Emmanuel is an attentive and gracious host. His condo is on a gorgeous and secluded beach area. We loved sitting on the lanai and listening to the ocean in the morning and evening. We also loved the quiet atmosphere of the condo community, with very friendly neighbors. This condo makes the perfect base for exploring North Shore area beaches and food markets, while coming home to peaceful spot.

We had a lovely time at this property. It was easy to find, clean, and had everything we needed for our week at Turtle Bay. We especially enjoyed the outdoor patio for our morning coffee. When we discovered that we were in need of trash bags, I messaged the host and I had a new supply in my hand within 15 minutes. We walked up to the Ritz to watch the surfers and the sunset a few times, it's just beautiful! And Lei Lei's restaurant had great food and service. All in all, a great property and host that we would highly recommend. Aloha!

Nicely redone condo right on the beach with a peek-a-boo ocean view. Far from the hustle of Honolulu.

By far, our favorite Airbnb ever! We were so lucky to have found it and sad to have to leave it. It is absolutely wonderful. The location on the north shore of Oahu is perfect - close to many beautiful beaches and the Turtle Bay resort. We took advantage of the walking trails nearby and along the coast. Spectacular views! The space comfortably accommodated 6. No AC except in the master bedroom, but we never missed it - we had a cool ocean breeze and slept wonderfully - the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen is very well stocked and the coffee was much appreciated. So many thoughtful touches made this rental feel cozy and like home. The host thought of every little thing you might need when traveling and was extremely responsive and helpful. Highly recommend, don’t miss this one!!

We had the opportunity to actually MEET Theresa, and her pet dog Eha. She took us on a walking tour through the Turtle Bay complex of the Ritz/Carlton, and then went back to the condo and just visited for about an hour. She's originally from Colorado, but moved to Hawaii a number of years ago and made it her home. The condo is located on the #18 green of the Turtle Bay Fazio course, which is supposed to be opened in August 2025. It's a beautiful location. Theresa has all of the goodies that you'd need for a great North Shore trip - umbrella, chairs, snorkeling equipment, even pickleball gear. It was a great trip, and I hope we get the opportunity to do this again sometime.

The property was absolutely gorgeous and the views were incredible would definitely stay again!
