North Shore Oahu · Waialua / Mokuleia
A private oceanfront estate where the beach becomes an extension of your home and where the days are kept by the tide and the trade winds.
The estate
Step from the lanai onto the beach. Watch the outer reef shape the waves. Spend evenings under the trade winds. The estate is minutes from Haleiwa and a world away from the busier shores of Oahu.
Stay in the Ohana unit, the Main House, or reserve both homes together for a private North Shore estate experience tailored to your dates, group, and occasion.

Oceanfront overviewA few uncommon things
Most beachfront rentals get you to the water. A handful of details here make the difference between staying at the beach and actually living there for a week.
We’ve been told this is the only private lanai built directly on a Hawaii beach. We’ve certainly never found another. Step from the chairs onto the sand without crossing public space.
No Hawaii beach is private by law. But access here is by deeded easement through a community of seventeen homes; most days the sand is empty by mid-morning and quiet by sunset.
Yellow tang and parrotfish in the shallows. Green sea turtles year-round. Once or twice a year, a Hawaiian monk seal hauls out on the sand. The water is calm enough to launch a kayak or paddleboard straight from the backyard.
From November through April, the lanai becomes a viewing platform: humpback whales offshore by day, big-wave sets at Devil’s Rock — known to North Shore surfers as ‘The Rock’ — through the rest of the season. No binoculars required for either.
The estate sits west of Haleiwa, not east, so you skip the slow stretch of Kamehameha Highway that locals plan their day around. Haleiwa is ten minutes. HNL is forty.
Small detail, big quality-of-life move on the North Shore — secure parking for the rental car, the boards, and the bikes, on a private street that ends at the sand.
Mokuleia, North Shore
Sense of place
The estate sits in front of Devil's Rock, an outer-reef break known to North Shore surfers, divers, and the rare tow-in crew chasing winter swell. Waves break offshore, leaving the beach itself calm and swimmable through most of the year.
Up close, the reef holds yellow tang and parrotfish in the shallows, green sea turtles year-round, and a few times each year, a Hawaiian monk seal that comes up the sand to rest. In winter, when the swell lines up, Devil's Rock comes alive within view of the lanai.
Beyond the gate: empty beaches, scenic bike rides, the polo fields, Dillingham Airfield and Ranch, horseback riding, and trails that climb into the Waianae range. Haleiwa is ten minutes; HNL forty.
