A Family Friendly Home on a Family Friendly Budget! Close to Beaches!

As a returning "local", we really enjoyed being back home and this stay was just that, a home in the our country setting. The house is nicely appointed, not luxurious, but very comfortable. At one time during the stay we had 8 staying over and the bed arrangements, plus two full baths worked out nicely. Both the Bob and Laura were very accomodating and low key. We never saw Laura, but she always responded quickly to our request. The home was clean and well kept, located in a quite community. Everything was as noted on the posting, the grandson had a great time in the yard trying to catch geckos. One note, since we were familiar with the area, we knew where this home was located. If you are not familiar with the area, just note it is in a small community away from most everything, but with a car it is very easy to get to where you may want to go. A few beaches are not far, some you could bike to, but most you would want to drive to. We highly recommend this home and will hopefully stay there again in the future.

The property is very nice and well maintained.

Aloha Bob. Got to mention our second stay at your island abode was even better than the first time. On this visit we decided to rent bikes from Cara at Paradisebabyco.com (rents all kinds of stuff and our bikes were like new) so we could discover more of the North Shore. Just a couple of blocks from the house, as you know are Waialua Beach Road bike path which takes you about 2.5 miles into beautiful not crowded beaches at Mokuleia. Traveling the opposite way takes you about 3 miles to Weed Circle and minutes from the quaint town of Haleiwa where we would go for breakfast/lunch/dinner and especially liked Haleiwa Café. We’d shop at the local grocery store or grab some delicious garlic shrimp at the Giovanni hot truck. Other times continuing on our foodie quest a 5 minute car ride from Komo Hale to Paalaa Kai Bakery (earlier the better) where owner Lydia has the bakers touch for serving up the best baked goodies—locals come from all over the island for her pastries. Speaking of one of many goodies; Malasada’s( watch out Leonard’s) PaaLaa Kai are mighty good. She also makes wonderful sheet baked corn bread? Driving to Kahuku about 15 minutes away is Kahuku Grill; best, tastiest, freshly ground burgers on the island. On the way back through Sunset Beach the road side fruit stands are the best for local grown produce. Starbuck’s coffee is at Foodland Pupukea close to Ted’s Bakery where you can get hearty breakfasts.
Okay, getting away from food which is hard do on Oahu—hence bike riding?-- Sundays you can ride bikes or drive to the Polo fields on Farrington Hwy --near Dillingham Airfield—for spirited Polo games. Tickets are about ten bucks lots of fun, but bring your own beach chairs, which thanks to Bob is provided at the house. If you’re planning to bring kids best to drive since you will be riding on Farrington Hwy which is a bit tricky for young ones.
About Komo Hale; if you are a couple like us or a family the rooms are good size, nicely appointed, clean, and plenty of closet space. We like the large bathrooms and lots of towels. The fenced yard is large, serene& safe for tikes, nice front lanai plus added outside dining options with a grill for chilling while enjoying inviting Waialua nights brings Aloha style together.
Bob who lives next door is the caretaker and great guy. All in all Komo Hale is great for couples who like us desire more room,easier days, less crowded beaches and quiet nights while enjoying the country side of Oahu.
