At Hale Moana we are witness to the impressive and fascinating interaction of land and sea. The shoreline may dramatically change from summer to winter, year to year. The tides, currents, waves and wind are constantly rearranging the beach, and sand levels will vary significantly and unpredictably over time. All rooms have ocean views and are beautifully decorated Hawaiian style. The expansive doors along the ocean side of the house open to reveal a breathtaking view of the ocean. The home sleeps 4 to 6 guests. The oceanfront master bedroom has a queen-sized bed and a spectacular view. The 2 twin beds in the second bedroom can be converted into 1 king-sized bed. The den has a queen-sized sofa bed and flat screen TV with HBO. The main bathroom has a separate shower, basin and toilet. An additional shower, basin and toilet are located in the garage - perfect for washing off beach sand. Cooking is a pleasure in the ocean view kitchen with glass cabinet doors, ceramic stove top and Corian countertops. The kitchen has a dishwasher, garbage disposal and microwave oven. We have ceiling fans in every room. Linen for 6 is provided. A full-sized washer and dryer is located in the garage along with beach chairs, boogie boards and charcoal barbecue grill. There is a high-speed wireless Internet connection. For added relaxation the library provides many book choices including the latest Hawaii guide books. Everything has been thought of to make your vacation stay at 'Hale Moana', the House of the Sea, relaxing and memorable. The beautifully landscaped yard is great for sunbathing, barbecuing and sunset watching. Access to the beach involves a flight of stone stairs, and we do not have accommodations for those with significant physical challenges. Upstairs owner's room visible in photos is always vacant and locked. You have the whole property to yourselves. Our fenced and tree lined property is set between the road and the sea. Our guests find that the sights and sounds of the ocean easily win their attention and hearts. Our location has all the quiet, quaint charm of the North Shore, and yet it is close to Haleiwa in one direction and a good grocery store and Starbucks in the other direction. Nearby Historic Haleiwa town has surf and clothing shops, art galleries and a variety of restaurants. World famous Waimea Bay, Sunset Beach and Banzai Pipeline are nearby.
