Hale Keo Keo – Historic Beachfront Home on Kawela Bay, Oahu’s North Shore
30 day rentals only

Welcome to Hale Keo Keo, the only home built directly on the sand in Kawela Bay — a calm, crescent-shaped cove on Oahu’s iconic North Shore. With room for up to 17 guests, this rare beachfront estate includes two charming homes and a private studio, making it ideal for family reunions, group getaways, or long-term island escapes.

Built in 1910, Hale Keo Keo stands as one of the North Shore’s most enduring homes — a living piece of Hawaiian history. Constructed with ironwood lumber harvested from the bay and preserved without modern treatments, the home has stood strong for over a century, untouched by termites and time. During World War II, it served as a coastal bunker; long before that, it was a stop for early train visitors who arrived by train to experience the beauty of Kawela Bay. From royal summers to railway picnics, this home has witnessed generations of island life. Today, Hale Keo Keo blends its storied past with thoughtful updates, inviting you to sleep where kings once vacationed and sea turtles still return to rest.

Kawela Bay is calm and swimmable year-round, protected by an offshore reef.

Many of our guests say it’s the most peaceful place they've ever stayed — a true retreat from the outside world.

Steps from your door, explore the famous banyan tree forest (featured in The Hunger Games), walk to Turtle Bay for dinner and sunset cocktails, or drive 25 minutes to Haleiwa for shopping, shave ice, and surfing legends.
