Our family had a wonderful stay at Kawela Kai and cannot recommend it enough. This is one of the few remaining properties you can find to rent for less than a month outside the tourist hot spots of Waikiki and Turtle Bay, and what a find it is! The property is beautiful, just far enough from the road to eliminate noise and right on a small but beautiful stretch of sandy beach. The backyard is nicely landscaped and equipped with lounge chairs to take in the view, while the large back porch has a table to enjoy meals outside. The building itself is old but well maintained, and the interior is nicely appointed and clean. It has what appear to be brand new appliances in the well stocked kitchen, AC throughout, and a good security system. The location can't be beat; right on the North Shore, less than 15min to Waimea and good snorkeling beaches to the west and the Polynesian Cultural Center and gorgeous Windward shore to the east. In short, if the idea of staying in a cookie cutter condo in Waikiki does not appeal, this is the place for you!
