Waterfront vacation rentals in Kawela Bay

Great location and great host who responded very quickly.

Live Aloha in Kailua! I’ve been coming to Oahu for 15 years, this is by far my favorite space and place to stay in Hawaii. It is a quiet and safe neighborhood, everything you need for a day at the beach, and relaxing pool. Again, best place I’ve ever stayed at in Kailua. Close to beach and my favorite restaurants. The host is friendly and helpful with two wonderful doggies Zeus and Harvest, who I miss! This unit is affordable and gorgeous! Book it while you can! It is a gem! Pictures support experience and expectations. It is even more gorgeous than the photos. Have fun in the Sun. Aloha!

This place was fantastic! So happy we chose to stay here. Beautiful view from the living room. The beach is so peaceful. I loved that there was a pool and a gym. The gym is right on the beach and has what I needed for lifting weights. It was the best. This beach is great for sunrises and early mornings. The kitchen was great. Only thing missing was a baking pan for the oven, maybe I just couldn’t find it. There were appliances and cooking utensils and the glassware and plates were cute. We also enjoyed the lanai. I highly recommend this place. One of the best Airbnb locations we have ever stayed in.

We loved our stay in Punaluu. To be able to walk out the back slider and out to the beach was incredible! We often walked on the beach in our pajamas to go see the turtles (between 9pm and 5 or 6am on the northern section). The beach on the property was calm for a quick swim, and it was easy to drive to other spots for more fish or more waves! There were plenty of kitchen supplies and we loved having a washer and dryer. There were 2 beach chairs and boogie boards which were fun especially at Hukilau beach. There were 2 sets of snorkels which were awesome at Sharks Cove as well. It was easy to do things in Laie or explore other places. We loved this location and felt like it was the perfect spot on Oahu to have vacation but not just feel like a tourist. The location is a little dated, but it was cute inside and had all we needed! To have an accessible beach out your backyard is a dream! Don't miss the turtles, either!! They were so fun to watch.

If you ever have a chance to stay on this side of the island…do it! This was my third time staying in this building, but my first time at Peter’s unit, and it was absolutely beautiful. We made a quick two-day trip over from Maui, and this spot made it totally worth it. Although we didn’t get to take full advantage of everything the unit had to offer, I was really impressed by how spacious it was. I also noticed a large bin on the balcony full of beach gear. That will be super thoughtful for longer stays! I’ll definitely be keeping this place in mind for my next visit. Thank you for the lovely accommodations!

My family just returned from a truly wonderful vacation at the Hawaiian Princess. Mary’s place was perfect - very clean, cozy, and quiet. My husband is a go-go-go type of guy who has a hard time sitting still, and he said that this is the most relaxed he’s ever been. It’s not located in a walkable neighborhood, but after spending all day playing in the soft sand of the beach, relaxing in the jacuzzi, and napping between beach time, we were all ready to sleep once the sun went down. We happened to have big waves the entire time we were there due to NW winds, which meant no swimming out into the water for us, but my young kids had fun watching body surfers as well as playing in the swash. Mary was always quick to respond, which made our stay that much more pleasant and easy. We would love to come back for another stay!

My husband and I stayed at the Hawaiian Princess on our honeymoon, and I can only describe it in five words: Quiet, comfortable, clean, safe, and relaxing! We would stay here again on a future vacation and highly recommend it.

Jacqui’s place was incredible and her instructions were clear. You can’t beat the scenery and location. It’s a laid back vibe but lots of families running around. Waking up to see turtles on the beach and then snorkelling with them later in the day was my kids highlight of the trip. The house is comfortable, though it does get quite warm without the windows open. If the windows are open then there is tons of airflow. If we come back to O’ahu, we will be trying to book this little piece of paradise again!

Location was fantastic, having stayed at these condos in the past, this one was the best for our family of 5. The bedding arrangements for our teens was great and the master room felt like a suite. Kitchen had everything we needed and the views were fantastic in the morning.

Amazing place that’s a short drive to the water, and lots of local food options. I will definitely stay here again. The bunkbeds are so fun.

This condo is amazing! Right on the beach, beautiful sunrise each day right from the lanai. Safe and comfortable. Snorkeling and swimming awesome. Condo Stocked well with everything needed for a family vacation. Great location on the quiet north west side of Oahu. Definitely would stay again!

The condo was exactly as described. The location was perfect. I've stayed in this area before, but this is the quietest beach I've ever been to. Yes, there are homeless in the area but that is true of all of Hawaii. Safe; this is a very safe area (I'm very comfortable walking through the neighborhood). Very secure parking lot and security staff are present all of the time. Clean; I've owned Air BandB's and this is the cleanest unit I have ever seen. The owners are easy to communicate with and respond quickly. We had a minor glitch with the remote and they responded within minutes. Kitchen is well-equipped. We cooked a lot while staying there. Having the washer and dryer in the unit makes a huge difference. I lost two (very sentimental but inexpensive rings while there). Luckily, the housekeeper found one and is mailing it back to me this weekend (Truly appreciate). Great place. Fold out couch is a fold out but there is a nice topper on the mattress. Highly recommend.

Julie’s place is in a great location, is within walking distance to the beach and was very comfortable. Parking was limited if you arrived back to the apartment later in the evening.

We greatly enjoyed our stay. Being able to hear the waves from our place was simply wonderful. The view was incredible. It was great to be able to just go down to the water to swim and use the pool. The kitchen was very well stocked with all things needed to cook. We greatly appreciated that. Thanks for a wonderful visit!

The property was absolutely gorgeous and the views were incredible would definitely stay again!

Loved staying here for a night! The building was located right on a secluded section of beach and additionally had a community pool in the backyard that we could use. The area was nice and peaceful, construction was mentioned before check in but honestly I didn't notice it at all. The apartment itself was pristine and Kaitlin even left food supplies for us before check in - pancake mix with syrup, coffee grounds and creamer, etc. I also had requested a late check out and she was super flexible and easy to communicate with. No complaints :)
