Directly Beachfront | Country Cottage

- THE SAND DOLLAR COTTAGE -
NUC #: 90/TVU-0632

Ultra High Speed Internet - Desk/Work Space - Pets Negotiable -

Of the 26 charming duplex cottages in the gated Mokuleia Beach Colony, only five actually face the ocean; and this is one of them! You’ll wake to the sound of waves, sit on your open lanai and see nothing but aquamarine water and morning sky. The ocean is right there in front of you, just a few steps away. This beach bungalow was designed in the 1960s and has been decorated by a Hawaiian-born artist, whose paintings of the Mokuleia ocean, sky and landscape hang on the walls.
- THE BEACH -
The Sand Dollar Cottage offers a stunning view of a beach that stretches for miles in either direction; ideal for swimming, walking and snorkeling in the coral reef. You rarely see anyone and have warm water, day and night!
- THE NEIGHBORHOOD -
A twelve minute drive down a country road will take you to the famous surfing town of Haleiwa; where you can dine in one of the many restaurants and shop for clothes, local art, shave ice and fresh fish, steaks and produce. The Colony has a beautiful guest-only pool and five minutes up the road towards Ka’ena Point, there’s kite surfing and skydiving.
- FROM THE OWNERS -
The home has more return guests than any other in our inventory, but after years of 5 star ratings it has recently received some critical reviews. The owners have taken these to heart and have addressed all maintenance issues in the house. Below is a word from the owners:

Aloha to all of our longtime guests. Wanted you to know we spent a couple of weeks in March renovating and restoring 13B. It needed it. You'll find a new kitchen: counters, cabinets, sink, faucet and a new glass-top stove. We also painted the unit, put in a new, higher vanity, sink and faucet, and new outdoor lighting. We restored all the louvers and jalousies that needed it and even added a more powerful modem for better WiFi. We left the ocean view and sunsets alone since no one could improve that.

Smoking strictly prohibited at Mokuleia Beach Colonies, both indoors and outdoors and pets are not permitted on the property. Service animals are permitted only with prior approval of the Mokuleia Beach Colony board. The State of Hawaii prohibits smoking in public parks and at all beaches. There are no areas near the unit designated for smokers. These bans include e - cigarettes.

We’d return in a heart-beat! Loved the outdoor shower, the sound of the ocean hitting the seawall as we slept. So unreal. And we live on the water in California.

Aloha!
The location is excellent. So much to see and do within a very short drive in any direction. About the only minor flaw is there isn't a sandy beach right in front of the house. The water is rough but it can still be swimmable. Plenty of turtles to see as well The house itself is very well stocked with all the necessary items for making dinner, sleeping, showering, etc. We were able to settle into a very normal, home like routine. The windows can be opened, the fans used and it's a fantastic way to sleep listening to the waves literally right outside the home. Highly recommend!

Great property, not great area
The property and grounds are beautiful. Waterfront, short walk to beach access. However the outside the property area is not great. This is a lot of ranch area and seeing homeless and parked cars along the highway is the norm. Secondly, this seems to be some issues between the rental management company and the people who manage the property. We had an issue with check in card not being initialed in one spot which generated lies between the 2 companies which was taken out on us in a very unprofessional way. We also had issues with the entry gate which caused us to sit outside the gate waiting for a phone call back. Both times this happened it took so long that other tenants open the gate for us. Overall the property and setting is beautiful. Having access to a pool and the ocean is great. If the management companies can work out whatever differences they have, this would be a much, much better experience.

Amazing!
Cottage was PERFECT! Location is great if you want a peaceful vacation. 10-15 minute drive into Haleiwa. The pool was a nice change from the ocean, everyone on the property was kind. Very low key. You are literally ON the water, at low tide you can walk the beach right out front. We would go down the steps and walk a few minutes to the left where the water was clear and swim. Lots of turtles right outside. Beach chairs & the bbq were used often! We will definitely come back to this location!!

This place is exactly what we like. It's quiet. The ocean is right out the door. There aren't any crowds. You feel like the little slice of beach is all yours. The house was clean when we arrived. It has all the amenities needed to feel right at home. For coffee drinkers, bring ground coffee with you to the house. It is a standard Mr Coffee maker and there were plenty of filters already there. This property was a wonderful place to stay.

North Shore Oceanfront
The location and view are fantastic! The best on North Shore. The unit itself is dated. The furnishings are adequate, but need replaced much sooner rather than later and do not properly reflect the great location.The property manager on site only takes care of the common areas and are not allowed to enter the units (or so they told us). The company that collects your money doesn't seem to do much more than that. The owner, at least with us, was uninvolved in anyway. We likely would stay there again solely because of the spectacular view, and just tolerate the rest, I suppose.

You have to stay here!!!!
This has been a wonderful place to stay. A gated area that I felt very secure and safe. We were located right at the beach and loved every moment. It was hard to go inside even to sleep. If you want room service and fussing over, this is not your place. Would go again in a heartbeat.

Very nice place to spend a vacation. If it has air conditioning it would have been perfect. The view is amazing and the quiet chilled out vibe is all Hawaii. It was a great place to unwind after checking out the island. I would recommend it to anyone who likes getting away to a nice country location. We spent a lot of time in Haleiwa which is minutes away.

Amazing, if you can reset your expectations
So, there is a common saying with People who live in Hawaii, which is "you don't move to Hawaii for the house", why? Cause homes are really expensive and you normally don't move someplace expensive unless you really want to be here, thus, the real reasons. The weather, the ocean and all that comes with it, the breezes, the flowers, I could go on, but you get the point. To be as brief as I can, this is a relatively inexpensive villa on Oahu that is waterfront, both things are hard to find, let alone together. The villa is in a strict HOA managed community that is very well kept, beautiful, quiet and the residents keep it that way, so you're not gonna get away with anything here. The villa itself is smack dab, right on the ocean with beautiful views of both norther points of Oahu, Kaiena Point and Turtle Bay. The villa is not what you come here for. The highlights are that it has adequate cooking pots/pans, dishes, etc. and it has a functional outdoor shower that is great and the mattresses, bedlinen and towels are comfortable and functional. Downsides, the seating furniture is old, worn out and uncomfortable. They don't even have a lounge chair to sit outside under the shade of the nearby flowing trees. One of the best parts of a trip to Hawaii is a nap under the shade of a tree:) There is NO AIR CONDITIONING in the unit, which WILL TAKE a few days to get used to (I was stationed here in the military from 2002 - 2005) and once you get accustomed to it, it's lovely, but at first, it's hot. This unit also doesn't face the prevailing winds, so fans (of which they have a few old and wobbly) are absolutely necessary to fall asleep or to be indoors during the day. Lastly, if you want to watch TV, it works, but it operates slowly like a 10 year old laptop that never had it's hard drive defragmented:) For a place right on the water, in a quiet, clean, peaceful part of Hawaii with easy access to snorkeling, surfing and more on the North Shore, this place is great, but be ready to reset your expectations:). Aloha and Mahalo!
