About this property
Island Life Retreat-Ocean Front-Beach Access
BEACHFRONT • GROUND FLOOR • WALK-OUT WITH VIEWS
Step straight from your ocean-view lanai onto a quiet stretch of white sand—your own authentic Hawaiian paradise. The reef-protected turquoise waters are calm and perfect for swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking, or simply floating in the warm Pacific. Bring your snorkel gear and snorkel right in front of the condo to spot tropical fish and sea turtles, or enjoy the serenity of a private beach with no public access, away from the crowds. The turtles sleeps on our beach at night, just left of the lanai looking towards the ocean.
Newly Renovated for Your Comfort This beautifully refreshed condo features new flooring throughout, an extended bathroom, a sleek kitchen countertop, and brand-new living room furniture—all designed to make your stay as comfortable and stylish as possible.
Your Island Escape This well-appointed 1-bedroom, 1-bath condo offers 812 square feet of space to relax and unwind. Being on the ground floor means easy walk-out access, open green space, and unobstructed ocean views. Start your mornings with coffee on the oceanfront patio, where magical sunrises light up the horizon, and end your evenings to the soothing sound of waves breaking on the distant reef.
Inside, enjoy ocean views and refreshing trade-wind breezes from both the kitchen and living room, creating a bright, open, and relaxing atmosphere. For warmer days, the living room includes a window AC unit, and ceiling fans throughout the condo keep the space cool and comfortable.
Sleep Comfortably Bedroom: King-size Sealy Plush bed Living room: • Queen-size Serta Euro-Top Murphy bed with sunrise views and ocean sounds • Comfortable sofa bed for additional guests
Location Highlights 10 minutes to the Polynesian Cultural Center 5 minutes to Hau‘ula Loop Trail 20 minutes to Turtle Bay Resort for dining and golf 45 minutes to Honolulu Airport Close to Kualoa Ranch, local food trucks, and scenic coastal drives
Please Note Our ground-floor unit’s repiping is fully complete, but construction is still ongoing in other units and may temporarily affect shared areas such as the parking area. At this time, guests are parking on the side road or across the street at Kaya’s between 8:30 AM and 5:00 PM. There will be front spots available for loading and unloading.
Guests still enjoy direct beachfront access, ground-floor walk-out convenience, and all the comforts of a newly renovated condo. Most visitors find that the ongoing work elsewhere has little impact on their stay, especially when spending time exploring the island or relaxing by the beach.
Why You’ll Love It This is not a luxury resort with spas. It is a true beachfront condo with the comforts of home, ideal for travelers seeking peace, authenticity, and a genuine connection to the ocean. Come experience “No Worries” island living at its best.

This older but clean, cozy, fully stocked, lovely condo without all the fancy amenities was perfect for us. We loved being on a private beach with quaint towns and shopping nearby. Host was very responsive to our needs and questions.
We had such an amazing time here . The condo was everything we were looking for and the beach was breathtaking. Kim was amazing and made the check in and out process effortless. We can not wait to come back and enjoy more time here!!! Maholo Kim for an amazing stay and sharing this place with us!!!
This property was an amazing stay. Highlights were the private beach and ability to swim with the turtles.
Well equipped apartment that accommodated not only is but our toddler, too.
Would definitely recommend to friends and would love to stay again in the future.
Great location, great condo and a beautiful privte beach. Who can ask for more! The condo was well equipped for play and for cooking. Quite a variety of spices provided as well. Loved our time onsite and exploring the North Shore!
If you are looking to get out of the touristy Waikiki I highly recommend this place. It came with everything you need to have a fun couple days on the beach and a nice deck to escape the sun. This is a more “country” part of the island so don’t expect a perfect resort. But it was clean and cozy. I would definitely come back.
We were looking for a quiet stay, away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki and this was perfect! The condo was well appointed with all of the things we could need. All of the items we needed for the beach (towels, boogie boards, chairs, umbrella, grass mats etc) as well as everything necessary to cook a great meal.
We were absolutely comfortable here and hope to return.
Amazing location right on the beach, it was so nice to just walk out of the apartment and see paradise. The space was great, kitchen well stocked, Murphy bed was a big hit. There are a lot of beach and pool gear to use, and being right next to the beach and sand made it so easy. The breeze in the evening was amazing, and waking up to sunset was lovely. Kim was responsive and helpful, and would totally stay here again!
First off, it’s all about location STEPS FROM THE BEACH!!!!! It’s quiet peaceful and absolutely beautiful.The condo is stocked with everything you’ll need for relaxing on the beach to swimming in the pool to barbecues on the patio.There’s a washer and dryer so no need to overpack,it’s a beautiful place to stay highly recommend!!!!
Away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Private beaches where the turtles come right up to rest in the evenings. Nice bbq spot to cook on. The house had everything you needed! Will definately come back!
The property is very close to the beach where turtles sun bathe every morning. We also saw a monk seal playing in the water, and we were only there 2 nights. The ocean was very calm and crystal clear. There is a box with snorkel gear on the porch, plenty of beach towels and beach umbrellas. The kitchen is stocked with pantry basics and much more compared to many rentals I have stayed in.
We absolutely loved the sunrises and location right on the beach! There was construction equipment right outside the back door, and lots of construction all around the property. The bedroom was not ideal as there was noise from people walking around the window but the Murphy bed in the back of the unit was great for hearing the ocean. We would stay here again!
Amazing property! You are literally steps away from the beach. Perfect location for our long weekend getaway! You are able to watch the sunrise & sunset right on the lanai. We most def will be back!
We loved this super clean, user-friendly condo right on the beach. We saw sea turtles on our sunrise walks and afternoon swims, and we had everything we could have needed. My 6’4” son slept on the Murphy bed, no problem. And we want to buy Kim’s brand of sheets! :)
Nice private beach. Bring food not much close by to eat. Get up early see the sunrise and walk about 75 feet out your back door to the beach. The turtles come up and night and sleep on the beach. Unit is in nice condition. Building is being renovated.
Our stay was amazing. The condo was equipped with everything imaginable. Size was perfect for myself, adult son and teen. We had plenty of room still. Once you open the front door the view is amazing. There was some construction going on in the outside but we looked beyond since we were in paradise. Kim the management was great and helped us with all questions
Everything in the unit is exactly as described. The construction was a minor annoyance, I understand its necessity. I would definitely stay at this property again. The protected waters of Punalu’u are some of the best! Excellent snorkeling. Every night the turtles sleep on the beach. We also saw a monk seal. The beds were sufficient, the newly remodeled shower is nice. Kitchen was very well stocked. Food trucks and a convenience store across the street. We loved our time here!
We loved the place. It was well stocked with everything you need for the beach & cooking. The location is prime - out of the crowds and essentially a private beach with clear swimmable water that you walk out to. It’s not a new place or a fancy resort but it felt homey. We had come from the first half of our trip in Waikiki in a property managed by a business and it was a great 180 to switch to this place.
Construction didn’t bother us at all. They started late in the morning anyway.
The house was clean enough but it’s old, so it’s certainly not spotless.
