From the moment you enter the gates of Ho’oluana, which means ‘to relax’ in Hawaiian, you will know you are in paradise. A private tropical backyard welcomes you to our home. Beautiful ocean views from the main living areas and master bedroom await you. Our large oceanfront property is well off the highway providing a peaceful Hawaiian holiday - free from the road noise so many oceanfront North Shore homes experience. A large private grass lawn shaded by palm trees extends up to the seawall - providing an ideal location for barbecues as well as lawn games. Steps from the seawall lead to the water where you can swim and snorkel year round. We are located in the quaint town of Hauula, on the Windward Coast of Oahu. Ho’oluana is a 50 minute scenic drive from the Honolulu Airport and 55 minutes to Waikiki Beach and Pearl Harbor. The North Shore offers snorkeling, swimming, diving, fishing, windsurfing and, of course, surfing. Local sites such as the Polynesian Cultural Center, Kualoa Ranch and Banzai Pipeline are just a 10 minute drive away. We recommend a trip to Waimea Falls Park or an afternoon visiting the charming town of Haleiwa where you can enjoy a glider ride, boutique shopping or sample the best shave ice on the island. Ho’oluana is tastefully furnished. The open floor plan of the living room, dining area and kitchen provides uninterrupted ocean views and is air conditioned. Our kitchen, with stainless appliances and granite counter tops is a cook's dream. You can dine indoors or on the covered lanai. Our three lovely bedrooms were designed for your comfort. Two of the bedrooms have queen beds, the other offers two twin beds. The air conditioned master bedroom enjoys a private bath and an oceanfront deck. A sofa bed provides additional sleeping space, making our home very comfortable for groups of 6 to 8. We purchased, remodeled and furnished our home in early 2010 so you will enjoy the benefits of a 'new home', with the charm of old Hawaii. High speed wireless internet access, unlimited US calls, a washer/dryer and two TVs provide all of the comforts of home. Nearby there is a grocery store and several restaurants.   .
