Beachside Getaway-Large Kitchen-A/C-Covered Patio-Grill-Fenced Yard

For questions, to verify availability dates or to check the availability of other furnished rentals we manage, please contact the owner.

You found it! A large 1,100 square foot, two bedroom, nicely upgraded beachside vacation rental that can sleep up to 8 guests and is fully stocked. The Beach Lane Hale (pronounced 'Ha-Lay') is a perfect place to relax, enjoy the beautiful beach and visit Oahu's attractions. It's located on the southern border of Laie, on Oahu's northeast shore so the waves don't get so big that you can't swim.

The entire rental is fully air conditioned, not just the two bedrooms. Both bedrooms have comfortable king-size beds and HD TV's. Two full size futon couches in the living room make room for four more guests or children.

The very large kitchen is a wonderful place to prepare meals or barbecue outside and enjoy the large covered lanai and fully-fenced yard. A dishwasher makes clean up easy.

Walk past a few houses to the end of the lane and you'll find a path right to the beach (this is a legal access about 100 yards from the house). This is a pristine, uncrowded, sandy, almost a mile long stretch of beach. The beach park with restrooms and showers are close making spending hours at the beach a breeze.

Nearby are shopping centers, restaurants, the LDS Temple, Polynesian Cultural Center and BYU. Kualoa Ranch, where several movies and tv shows have been filmed, including Mighty Joe Young, Jurassic Park, Wind Talkers, Jumanji, Hawaii 5-O, Magnum PI, Pearl Harbor, Kong-Skull Island and more is just 15 minutes away and offers horseback riding, ATV tours and other fun. World-famous North Shore surf spots are just 20 minutes away.

Keeping in touch with others through the Free High Speed WiFi is a must for modern travelers. Covered parking and laundry is included as well.

So come, enjoy the relaxed living away from the crowds of Waikiki at the Beach Lane Hale rental like our family does.

There are exterior surveillance cameras on this rental property in some parking, recreation and entry door areas.

A $50 reservation change fee will apply to any changes to an existing reservation initiated by guests.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a sofa bed, and a fenced private yard. Housekeeping is available on request.

Amazing location for a family

We loved our stay here. The host made every effort to correct some issues. Great for a family with the quietest beach so close with provided toys, towels and chairs. However, the upstairs unit is so loud, not their fault just didn’t realize how loud having people upstairs would be and hard to sleep. Overall it was a great 8 days close to all the activities to play and chill in north shore. Thank you for our stay !

Fantastic property!

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this house. The property was perfect for our family of 4 (although it could easily accommodate several more people). The large kitchen was amazing, the bedrooms were spacious, everything was very clean and well stocked. We loved the outdoor space and the quick walk to the beach. With the windows closed and A/C on the road noise was not an issue. We very much appreciated the location of this home and the quick access to so many of the sites we wanted to see. We'd definitely stay here again!

Great rental

We LOVED our stay at the Beach Lane Hale! It was spacious, very clean, and perfect for our needs. The bed was very comfortable. The kitchen was large and well stocked. We especially loved the location being so close to the beach, just at the end of the lane. The air conditioning was great! We loved our day at the Polynesian Cultural Center. Papa Ole's has delicious ribs and Seven Brothers was a fun and yummy place for hamburgers! Thanks for your hospitality, Greg.

Tranquility in paradise

We really enjoyed this property and it’s location. The home was very warm and inviting. Amazingly large kitchen to eat good food with family and play board games at night. Papa Ole’s restaurant and Tamura’s Grocery store were close by. The yard and fishpond were beautiful. The beach is very close and we enjoyed sunrise walks every morning on the beach. Greg was very kind and patient with our questions. Mahalo Greg for sharing your piece of paradise with us.

Perfect Family Vacation Rental!

Our family of five spent three nights here in early March. The house is very clean, well appointed, and spacious. There's lots of room to cook and gather inside. The covered patio and yard are also beautifully maintained, and provided room for our younger boys to mess around in between our hikes. The beach is a short walk, and it's an awesome beach! It was nearly deserted during the times we were there. Would recommend this rental to anyone, especially if you're wanting to escape the traffic snarls of Honolulu and REALLY enjoy adventuring in O'ahu. Thanks to our hosts for allowing us the privilege of staying in the rental!

We LOVED our week at the beach lane hale! What a perfect house to accommodate a family of eight! It had everything we needed --- even exceded our expectations! We loved the proximity to the PCC, beaches, hiking, touring, grocery store (with the nicest people). Who would want to stay in a hotel in the crowded city? We accomplished a lot of touring and still came home feeling refreshed. The private beach at the end of the lane is very nice --- we enjoyed the sunrise most every morning! We are already planning to return.

Hale Sweet Hale

The property was beyond our expectations and perfect for our stay on the quieter side of Oahu, which we love. The rooms and beds were very comfortable. The air conditioning was a big bonus, as well as the big kitchen and absolutely lovely yard. So close to the beaches, PCC, and North Shore. We have already recommended the property to friends coming in the near future. We really enjoyed Papa Ole's, the shrimp trucks, and Ted's. We also enjoyed snorkeling in Shark's Cove and Turtle Bay as well as just playing on the beach just steps away from the hale. Greg showed us his other rentals at the same place and they look just as wonderful. Thank you Greg and Cindy; we will definitely be staying there again.

Oahu vacation

We stayed in this home as a family with my 3 boys, myself, and my mother. With the fold out beds in the living room, there was enough room for everyone to sleep. The air conditioning was a great touch, and the yard outside was fantastic. We loved eating our meals outside, and the kids loved lounging in the hammock chair. We had a few issues like the oven not working for our Easter dinner, the toilet not filling so that it could flush, and the bathroom sink not draining, but all issues were addressed as promptly as possible and very professionally. Would highly recommend this home. Mahalo

Hawaii get away

For the most part everything was great. I had no idea that someone would be above us in this house and they were noisy people. At 2 in the morning they would be talking and woke my wife and up, they were loud going up and down the stair. We could even smell the cigarette smoke coming in the house at the kitchen when they were smoking outside.

Excellent house!

The house was fantastic and we would definitely stay there again. The house was very clean with a huge kitchen, perfect for hanging out in and had all of the amenities; outside grill, air conditioning , ceiling fans, if anything we could have used a couple of more beach chairs, but we lacked for nothing else. The outside covered space was terrific and complete with an outside shower and washer and dryer. The proximity to the beach was great and the beach itself was never crowded . It is an easy walk to the stores, but also a short drive to additional shopping and the Polynesian Cultural Center. Greg was organized and on top of the arrangements. We stayed for two weeks and it was extremely peaceful. I would absolutely recommend this property as there were four of us and we had plenty of room; it is a very solid home!

Perfect Location and has everything you could possibly need. Home away from home.

This house was fabulous! It has everything you need and it’s location is fabulous. It was nice to be able to walk to the beach. You have a short drive to Laie where there is Foodland to buy groceries and fun places to eat or you can continue a little further to Kahuku where you have many delicious food trucks to choose from. We eat a lot at the house. There is a BBQ out on the back porch. There is a nice stove top and oven as well. The house itself was clean. Each room has its own AC unit. The beds were super comfortable. It could use some new pillows. You can pack light as you have access to a washer and dryer out on the back porch. There are boogie boards, coolers and beach chairs available. We would definitely stay here again.

Great family Hawaiian vacation

My family had a great time staying at Greg's place in Hauula. It was a perfect location with the loveliest beach down the lane. Just a short drive (or walk) to Halela Beach with the softest sand and access to shade and a grassy park made for fun beach days. A short walk south and there were some fun snorkel spots at the end of the beach. The house had air conditioning, comfy beds and ample space for my family of 5. My youngest two slept on the two futons in the living room which weren't the comfiest, but they didn't complain. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and cooking equipment.You are so close to the Polynesian Cultural Center and Hukilau market (which was so much fun-one of my children said it felt like Disneyland). You are right off the Kam Highway, but it was surprisingly quiet inside especially if you had the fan running and we all slept really well. The outdoor shower and washer/dryer were VERY useful. Overall, we loved the location, close to Honolulu and the super busy north shore towns and beaches but in Hauula it was quieter and a little less "touristy" feeling.

Great property but noisy road

The property was great. It was clean, well kept and stocked. The beach is nice and access is easy. The neighborhood cats kept my daughter busy and entrained. The wifi was good and fast. The house had lots of snorkeling gear, boogie boards, beach chairs and coolers. The really only negative was the busy road noise. The property is directly located on the road and VERY noisy. The house was well equipped with ductless A/C in both bedrooms and living room and kitchen/dining area, so with the windows closed the noise wasn't that bad. The water heater was also on a timer that shut off at 10:30am (ish) and back on at 3pm or so, which was challenging at times. We enjoyed our time at this house and basically used it as a sleeping place as we visited family nearby.

Amazing! Amazing! Amazing!

Greg has gone to great lengths to make this house work for his guest. The kitchen is large, modern, well stocked and beautiful! The washer and dryer are brand new, the porch is comfortable and well appointed. The new A/C units cool the house as soon as you turn them on... we would turn them off when we would leave each day and by the time we turned them on and would get settled the house was perfect. We used boogie boards and snorkels that Greg keeps in the cabinet outside. There is grocery shopping literally just a block away, and the Polynesian Cultural Center and BYU-H and the LDS Temple within minutes. There is a great area of food trucks in Kahuku that can satisfy anyone in your group. This house is in the perfect area! Greg was quick to answer questions and very helpful. Thank you for an wonderful stay!

Nice

For us, this location was perfect. It was our first time to Oahu. The house is right on the highway, but so is pretty much every other house on that side of the island. It was great because we were just down the street from the beach. Short block away. The beach was beautiful! We had a referral from a friend to go to alligator rock and that was the exact beach where the house is located. It was wonderful for the kids to play, jump and explore. We have 6 kids and the house accommodated us very well. 2 futon beds in the living room and two bedrooms. It has a very large kitchen and large dining room. We loved the covered large picnic table with barbecue outside. The shower and Hose outside was really nice to get the sand off after the beach. There’s some beach gear, like three small boogie boards, some goggles and sand buckets and shovels. Thanks Greg for allowing us to stay here.

Aloha

Aloha— this property is exactly as described : secluded 🏖beach ( Beautiful 🌅sunrises). It is extremely clean and well stocked for at least a week’s stay. It was very comfortable for our group, but the one bath for 6 to 8 would probably be a stretch. There are plenty of towels (both beach and bath). The lanai / fenced yard ( well kept by landscaping company ) with fishpond ( 🐠which needs water 💦added daily ) are nice but noisy from traffic, and the gate needs to be closed at ALL times. The beds🛏🛌are comfortable ( new sheets would be nice ). Kitchen/eating area is a great gathering place ! Having a laundry🧺is a SUPER + ( no sand in the suitcase )! We enjoyed the North Shore and all its amenities 🌊⛰😎🏖🍤🐳🦈🐓🐈🥥🥑🥝🍍🥂🍻🏄🏊. We enjoyed the north shore so much we only went to Honolulu / Waikiki one day. Remember you are on North Shore not in the city. This is a ground-floor rental, so if you are a light sleeper, the noise from upstairs might interfere. The owner quickly responded to all of our questions, has a nice booklet of activities, and articulates check in / check out procedures. We had a great stay ! Mahalo

Vacation home...

The private beach was beautiful! It was nice having a washer and dryer. The house was a nice size but we were not informed that this house is right on the main road and listening to constant traffic is not relaxing. There are no blinds in the large kitchen windows, these windows face a bus stop across the street where homeless people camped out. Both of the bedrooms need new mattresses, this caused me a lot of back pain and I could not sleep on the same bed as my husband. The lighting in the bathroom was terrible, I couldn't see well enough to put my make up on. The blankets on the beds were not clean I could smell oily skin on one of the pillows. In general the house smelled really bad. The futon couches would be okay for small children but not comfortable for our young adult children. We learned a good lesson which was to pay for insurance when booking our vacation stay in order to get a refund and stay somewhere else. We will never do something like this again! Always go with a reputable resort or hotel!

Great property

This place was great. We stayed in Waikiki last time we visited Hawaii. It is so busy that we wanted a different experience. Location was perfect. Very short distance to great food (Pennys malasadas, north shore taco, Papa Ole) in the parking lot about a block away. There is a Longs and grocery store in the same market. PCCC is just up the road probably less than a quarter mile and has plenty to do there. Beach access is great. Neighbors seem very friendly. Seems like there is a rental upstairs and maybe a little studio apartment on the same property but we only saw the upstairs resident like twice. There was also a cat who likes to crawl under the side gate and sit out by the steps. It was no bother. The rest of the block seemed pleasant and were friendly as we walked to the beach. Beach has a fair amount of reef and not busy at all so there are a lot of places to swim and play in the water. Seemed to be a spot that locals visited and we loved it in the mornings and evenings. Little drive gets you to several food trucks and an awesome bakery (Ted’s). House has a great Lanai and outdoor shower. There must be a tankless hot water heater bc 7 of us showered and did laundry and there was plenty of hot water for all of us. Kitchen was well stocked. AC and Wi-Fi were so nice to have. Had a cooler we used at the beach. One of the best things about the check out process was the fact that you can leave unopened food. I hate having to throw away a few bottles of water or cans of soda or that carton of eggs you bought thinking you were going to cook breakfast. I was nervous about getting our van in the parking space but fit perfectly. If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the other spots in Hawaii this place is for you. There are some reviews about the highway being loud, our youngest sleeps with a sound machine and that was enough for our whole family to sleep just fine. I am a terrible sleeper (shift worker) and I managed just fine. Only area for improvement I could see would be pillows. I could not find any for the fouton sleepers (I did not ask and we managed just fine) and the ones for the bed seemed a little flat. Again not complaining and probably could have been fixed easily but if someone reads this terribly long review and has to have a specific type of pillow prob should pack it or buy one once you get here.

We loved the location. Just a brief walk to the beach. The place was plenty big for our family of 5. Lives the spacious kitchen. Our only complaint was the shared walls with the upstairs guests. I read in the reviews but wasn’t fully prepared for the noise. We solved it by using a white noise at night to sleep.

We had a issue with the wifi not working and it took hours to get a reply, we had no internet for 4 days. Which I didn't rent it for the wifi but did need it for work so had to drive to mcds. We left a whole lot of food, beach stuff and blow up bed for the next renters. Make sure to remember on the windward side that there is really no service or internet and the wifi seems to go out a lot. Also the top of the duplex is another space and it can get pretty loud depending who's up there. But don't get me twisted- it was AMAZING, WIFI was not part of what I was looking for in a rental
