Escape to Paradise- AC, Kayaks,Ocean across street

*30 day rental. Please inquire. 888-799-6920

Come, Escape to Paradise! This beautiful secluded home is in the perfect spot along the Windward shore of Oahu. This 2500 sqft Ka'a'awa, air-conditioned home can sleep 8-10 people in 3 bedrooms and an open den. Planning on working from home? Why not do so in this Hawaiian paradise! We've increased our WIFI internet speed (200 mbps contracted), added smart TVs, charging stations and improved telecommunications. Beautiful, lush, and tropical foliage adorn the grounds. One lot from the water's edge and just a two-minute walk to the local beach park, it is Hawaii as you imagined it.

You'll have kayaks, boogie boards, 2 bikes and snorkel gear at your disposal. Go kayaking or snorkeling right in front of the house.

When it comes to relaxing and unwinding, you will have plenty of room inside and out with the beautiful, professionally landscaped yard. Stunning vistas and tropical plants surround you from every angle and window. Unlike many other local ocean front properties, the double pane windows and the foliage surrounding the home ensure that no road noise bothers you. Open the upstairs windows and listen to surf break on the reef. Stretch out on the 400 sq ft. covered lanai and let the ocean sounds lull you to sleep.

Located in the quiet and quaint village of Kaaawa on the Windward Coast, midway between Kaneohe and Laie (the start of the North Shore). You will be just 2 minutes from Kaaawa Beach Park or Kahana Bay State Park, 5 minutes from Kualoa Ranch and Chinaman's Hat Island and 15 minutes from the world famous Polynesian Cultural Center. You can also go hiking in the mountains behind Kaaawa, Crouching Lion and in Kahana Bay State Park. Experience Hawaiian living and customs at Kahana. See their Cultural Gardens and learn how Hawaiians survived and thrived from the Mountains to the Ocean Reef. Easy calm kayaking in Kahana Stream, one mile away, or in shallow ocean just across the street. No traffic...seriously...this can be a big issue along the North Shore.

If you are looking to have an authentic Hawaiian experience surrounded by ocean, mountains, jungle and beaches, Escape to Paradise is the place for you!

The Hawaiian Islands have some of the most remote tropical rainforests in the world. Nevertheless, like any moist and fertile environment, you may find some ants, mosquitoes, roaches and critters like little geckos that share this beautiful world with humans. To keep out bugs, remember to close the doors right after entering. Don't leave food or crumbs on counters or tables and avoid eating at the bed because ants are really smart and fast.

​​​​​​​*Additional screening form required at time of booking.

Escape to Paradise
This home is so reflective of its name! The house is beautiful and we were greeted with island treats! We spent lots of time on the comfortable lanai, surrounded by plants and flowers. The backyard was filled with trees and tropical plants. The beach is a short walk across the street with a beach park in walkable distance. We liked being away from the busy city, but we could easily go anywhere from our location. The home owners and home managers checked in with us during our stay to see if we needed anything. The owners generously let us use their numerous beach gear including kayaks which made it so convenient for us. If our travels take us back to Oahu, we will definitely stay here again!

We had a wonderful stay in Kaaawa. If you are looking for an un-touristy, slower paced, family friendly way to enjoy Ohau, this is the way to go. The house had everything we could possibly need and was comfortable and clean.

Everything you could need for an extended stay!
Both the property manager and property owner were in constant communication with us. The property owner provided videos on the house, it’s amenities, and great attractions near by. The property sits across the street from a great snorkeling spot with tons of turtles, just a short walk from a great beach, and around the corner from an amazing cove that was great for swimming! The house had everything! Snorkeling gear, beach toys, paddle boards, kayaks, beach tents, life vest. We had everything to entertain ourselves for over 2 weeks. I hope to make it back to the island and will check this house out first if I do!

Warm and welcoming property - we arrived late and the local host had put on the lights for us. Beautiful setting - watching the ocean from the dining table on the lanai. Spotlessly clean and comfortable with air conditioning. Very helpful and friendly owner. Easy to get to the North Shore beaches and attractions and to get to Honolulu.

Hawaii Wedding Trip
We loved our stay at Escape to Paradise in Kaaawa. Our daughter got married at Kualoa Ranch. The home was so convenient to the venue. We loved the open air kitchen and we were welcomed with water and chocolate and freshly cut pineapple. The location was perfect. Close to the North Shore and close enough to the freeways. Our granddaughters had fun looking for geckos and lizards and chasing the chickens. We appreciated access to their kayaks and goggles. The ocean is across the highway. The host and the managers kept in contact and were very friendly and accommodating. We to hope to visit again! Thank you so much for sharing your home with our family.

"Paradise" is an Accurate Description
This house definitely became a home away from home in a paradise setting! The owners and property managers were all so helpful and very welcoming. My family and I arrived to the house after dark so the first morning at sunrise we were just in awe by the beauty of the area and the views surrounding the house. We loved hearing all the birds and seeing the many butterflies flying around the many plants and flowers in the yard. The house itself was VERY comfortable and had great space for everyone. The master suite was roomy and had a great seating area so everyone could have peace and quiet away from the kids and noise when needed. The lanai was setup so you could really enjoy being outside (the pictures are very accurate). My favorite place was sitting on the swing, listening to the birds while I read my book. There are beaches very close to the house that are perfect for kids and small children. We enjoyed every bit of our stay and really appreciated the details and thought of these hosts. The house was well stocked with paper goods and toys and many things that enhanced the experience. The location of the house is perfect for getting away from the touristy areas of HI while still being in a convenient location and an easy drive to anywhere you want to visit. Can't say thank you enough for this wonderful, relaxing and rejuvenating vacation!!!

Hawaii vacation and wedding
The property was perfect and met all our needs. The location was beautiful and ideal for us, both for exploring the north shore of the island, and for its proximity to a family wedding held nearby at Kualoa Ranch. The kitchen was well stocked with the needed accessories and we greatly appreciated the extra amenities - the snorkel equipment got used a couple times. We also appreciated the prompt attention Rob and Hilary provided whenever we had questions. All of this provided for a fantastic vacation and family time together. Mahalo!!

A perfect house
I've avoided Oahu because I thought it's all about resorts, Waikiki and Honolulu. Boy, was I wrong. If you want piece and island life, this house is perfect. It was the cleanest and best-equipped house my family has ever stayed in, and we do travel quite a bit. Kayaks, bikes, snorkeling gear, water shoes, everything clean and organized. We did use the kayaks because the ocean is right there at the end of the driveway. And the lanai, ah, the lanai, spacious and clean, perfect for chilling or eating the food you grab from nearby Uncle Bobo's (seared tuna to die for) or one of the shrimp shacks (we preferred Aloha shrimp which is open all days to the other yellow one which was featured on some cooking shows) or poke from the Tamura's Market.

Much needed Hawaii get away!
Great location, not far from many tourist sites. Fantastic hikes within walking distance. The house was very clean and organized. There were many games and puzzles for indoor fun while it poured outside and many outdoor gear for beach fun. We really enjoyed drinking coffee in the morning on the large porch, listening to the wild chickens. Awesome views from all of the windows, even from the stair well window. I really enjoyed the large tub and shower in the Master bedroom. Nice place to relax. Overall, will recommend and maybe come back!

This place is amazing! We absolutely loved the huge porch. It was our gathering place every morning before starting our day and again in the evening before bed. The owners thought of everything and provided all the essentials to help make our stay as comfortable as possible - including a nice note and delicious treats to welcome us. We did not have any young children traveling with us, but it was a perfect setup for young families as well. Tons of toys, krafts, and games to keep them entertained. There is one bedroom and bathroom downstairs and two bedrooms with en-suites upstairs. My family is still talking about this house and fond memories were made here that we will cherish for a lifetime.
