5 Reviews of Property 97940 in Pupukea, Hawaii

The description of the house and location are accurate. Fine home. Great location. The house shows evan nicer than in the photos and has all the basic amenities.We practically lived on the Lanai with it's exquisite views of the lava field, long sandy Ke Iki beach and of course those fabulous sunsets. The property is clean and well maintained and very private - well screened by surrounding flora from the neighboring homes on either side. A big bonus was having cruiser bikes with baskets, to ride to the various beaches with our snorkeling gear or to Foodland for a few groceries, or just sight-seeing in the area. The owner was helpful in answering any questions we had and we would not hesitate recommending this lovely property to family and friends.

We just came back from 2 great weeks in the Ulua Hale (Unit D). We have so many good things to say about this place:

You cannot beat the ocean view and closeness to the beach. Most mornings we would spend a few hours at the beach with our 1 and 3 year olds and then do some other activity in the afternoon. The waves at this time of the year (March) are a bit wild for young children, but there are other beaches close by that are more suitable if young children truly want to explore the ocean.

The house and grounds are very well maintained and well equipped. We also noticed that the house was very clean when we arrived. It is clear that the owners are taking pride in caring for the place.

There are many extra items available, like children beach toys, chairs, kiddy pool, bikes, etc. This was very much appreciated by our children.

The location is also excellent. It is far enough from the main road not to be bothered by noise, still walking distance to the Foodland and Starbucks. Other places like Haleiwa and Turtle Bay are not too far either and trips to Honolulu are totally doable as well.

Finally, the whales were out in full force during our stay. We saw several types of whales, dolphins and sometime they were less than half a mile away from the deck. Truly spectacular.

We have no hesitation to recommend the Tropical Waters enthusiastically to our friends and colleagues and may very well be back ourselves.

This home is just as advertised. I searched through many houses, in many different locations, so I was nervous about my choice. However, any concern was gone when we arrived! The beachfront location is beautiful and the many windows and doors across the back of the house allow for great views from both inside and out, and also allow for a wonderful breeze through the house. We witnessed amazing sunsets in the evenings and whales right off of the deck many mornings. It doesn't get any better than that! The house was clean and maintained very well. The gated location is nice and the house sits back off of the road a bit. Foodland and Starbucks are within walking distance, as well as Sharks Cove and several great beaches. The beach that the house sits on Ke Iki, is also very nice and very clean. From the pictures online, I was slightly concerned about the large mass of black rock behind the house, but it was not a hinderance at all and was actually very cool to look at! We had family pictures and renewed our vows right on the beach behind the house, so it was very special to us! The location on the North Shore is nice if you want to be out of the hustle and bustle of Waikiki and Honolulu. However, you will be spending a lot of time in the car if you want to go back and forth for activities between the North Shore and Honolulu. A large stretch of the road is only two lane, and traffic is always backed up and stopped. So, you should plan once you are on the North Shore, to stay on the North Shore. Haleiwa is a nice little town with a few nice restaurants and many local shops. It is a 15+ minute drive from the house (depending on traffic). The owners/rental company were very helpful and dealt with the few issues that we had while at the house. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone who wants a beautiful location away from the big city. It would also be nice for large family/friend gatherings to rent this house along with the other 2 properties (Mako Hale and Honu Hale). They are all 3 within the gate and very close to each other (no worries if you are not with family and friends--there is very thick vegetation between the 3 houses which allow for adequate privacy). A great find!!
