Top Hotels Near Polo Beach in Waialua from NZ$527

"This house is located between Haleiwa and Weimea Bay on a stretch of Oahu’s world famous North Shore. The location is absolutely astounding—right on the beach. Step down 5 steps and walk the sand! We watched turtles come ashore to bask, whales breaching, and surfers and paddle boarders riding big North Shore waves. The grandkids built sand castles and the adults enjoyed walking the beach and hearing the pounding surf. Fantastic! That said, the house itself suffers from its location in the salty air. While the 3000 sq ft on 2 levels is plenty of space for 6, everything shows signs of wear and tear from the effects of the ocean air. Some electrical outlets are seriously rusted, the sliding doors do not lock (but are secured by dowels in the slide tracks), the garage is filled with two vehicles and lots of junk so parking is outside on the concrete pad, the 2 baths are split between floors: one shower/tub combo upstairs and one shower only downstairs. All 3 bedrooms are upstairs. The stairs have a heavily worn carpet strip and all indoor & outdoor furniture is well used. The Kamehameha Hwy is located ~25 ft from the front of the house. Heavily traveled day and night, it adds to the noise level of the surf. But the noise quickly became routine. There is a manually operated sliding gate that must be opened/closed every time you enter/exit. Tricky since the road is so close. Although the property needs a good bit of maintenance, its location on the island is nearly unbeatable!"
