The Cottage at Kaaawa is both charming and reminiscent of what the guidebooks describe as Old Hawaii. Located just 45 minutes from the airport, ten minutes from the Polynesian Cultural Center and Kualoa Ranch (where were horseback rides and jeep tours of the site where Jurassic Park and other movies were filmed), 30 minutes from the famed Banzai Pipeline, it is the perfect North Shore location. Our home is located right on the ocean with a sandy beach. Additionally we have a very large completely fenced yard, perfect for a family wanting to enjoy all that Hawaii has to offer. Purchased in early 2006, our home was completely remodeled. Everything is brand new. The living/dining area overlooks the beach -- a perfect place to enjoy spectacular sunsets, whale watching, and viewing the turtles who so enjoy life on the North Shore. Both bedrooms enjoy an ocean view. The outdoor covered Tiki Bar bar is where you will be serving Mai Tai's as the sun sets, a covered Lanai with comfortable wicker furniture faces the ocean and at the end ot our property a hammock inside an open, but covered "Hut" is the best nap place in town While the ocean views are primarily what attracts visitors to Hawaii, our home has a spectacular view of the Kualoa mountains. What is best about Kaaawa is that it's a community where everyone makes you feel welcome. We are located less than ten minutes from a great supermarket.
