“Hale Pono sits tucked into on of the most beautiful and secluded bays in . Surfing, snorkeling, paddleboarding, sand combing, and daily whale watching are steps away from the back Lanai. The gate and high landscaping ensure families with young children like ours can stay visible and out of harm's way. Inside, the home is perfectly outfitted with all the essentials, including the ability to grill out on the lanai at Sunset. Access to either the East Coast or South is very simple, and you can get to pretty much anywhere you need to go on the island within an hour. If you’re a surfer, you have Backyards, Phatoms, Freddyland, and Vland all within view and walking distance. The upstairs ensuite is a spectatular oasis; as the balcony sliding doors open completely, allowing the sea breeze and night sky refresh you. Our family feels at home at Hale Pono, have already been return guest, and will continue to do so in the future. FYI, it’s infinitely better for families than both Turtle Bay, and Disney to the South.”

“What a gorgeous house in a gorgeous location on the North Shore! The backyard was a pristine beach that was very private and where we can even pitch a volleyball court right in the sand close to the ocean that we kept up there for the whole week. All the beach gear was provided as well. Nice contemporary design in the house with open living area on the main floor where we all gathered for dinner and watch movies before bedtime. Beds and rooms were impeccable and comfortable. Best were the sunsets, a bit different every evening from the cloud formation. Mesmerizing. Wonderful stay and indelible memories for my kids that are young adults and teenagers.”

“We had just a great stay. Hardly anyone on the beach out front, and super chill. It was exactly what we wanted, because we did not want to hang around a lot of people on a busy beach. We would definitely stay again, and probably will. And the turtle bay resort is just five minutes away, which has great food and drinks.”

“This location was great! We were able to walk the beach every morning and watch the surfers during the day. A few minutes to restaurants and some great hiking nearby! Loved the home, it was very spacious and clean and had everything we needed!”

“This house was just something else in the best of ways. Private, peaceful, right on the beach, fantastic amenities and atmosphere, AC’s in all the bedrooms for cool sleeping, and excellent, gracious hosts - I would prioritize staying here again! Thank you Morgan and Preston!”

“When we initially booked this place, we feared it was too good to be true, but this place completely lived up to the hype! The home was beautiful and had incredible amenities. The private beach made this an ideal place to stay with kids - not having to load up a car with gear and children every time we wanted to go to the beach was a game-changer. Morgan was proactive with information and incredibly responsive to any questions I had. It doesn't get better than this!”

“Morgan’s place is absolutely beautiful! We had 4 couples plenty of room for everyone. Morgan was extra accommodating. The house has a great kitchen if you prefer to make meals. The views from the house are unbelievable and breathtaking. The beach is amazing and never crowded. We snorkeled just steps from the house. The house had all the beach stuff u need boogie board, snorkel gear, beach chairs and much more. This is a great place to rent on the North Shore!”

“We absolutely loved our stay! The home was even better than the photos. It was beautiful and spacious and had everything we could possibly need. The access to the beach was amazing. The layout was spacious and comfortable for 6 people. Morgan was very responsive and helpful and checkin could not have been easier. We would definitely return to this home!”

“Our stay at Hale Pono was incredible. The property was peaceful and serene. We felt as if we were in paradise. The backyard is a beautiful beach that looks like something in a movie. The view from the upstairs balcony and the view from the living room and kitchen are fantastic. It was such an indoor/outdoor feeling listening to the ocean day and night. We appreciated all the special touches that made it feel like home. Everything felt easy and comfortable, from a fully stocked kitchen to minor bathroom toiletries. Preston and Morgan were extremely accommodating. The area boasted breathtaking views and delicious food. Everything was prepared fresh daily from Ted's Bakery to Giovanni's Food Truck. Haleiwa was a beautiful town with the warmest people. It embodies what Oahu represents. We felt like locals instead of tourists. My only complaint was bad traffic, but there was construction, so it was understandable. I highly recommend Hale Pono. It's the perfect home surrounded by the ideal location. We will be back!”
