Ke Iki Beach Bungalows

This was such a great place! Not too fancy but clean and beautiful. Had everything you would need except groceries and booze! We had a large group and stayed in one of the garden view bungalows, which was a short little walk through the garden to beach. The owner was so relaxed and accommodating to us. Perfect little place in my book. If we make it back to Hawaii again I would certainly return.

Place is awesome! Best beach on the north shore. If you are expecting white glove service this place is not for you. If you are desiring a laid back relaxing beachfront condos with breathtaking sunsets this is it. Chill out and enjoy the Aloha Spirit because it’s here.

I located Ke Iki Beach Bungalows on Unilocal,as a resident of Oahu, I wanted a relaxing and special place to relax with my girl friend. ke Iki Beach is a gem on an island where tourists and locals alike get hung up with large hotels and crowed locations. We all forget what a beautiful place this island is and how our thought process is to stay at a conventional resort.
We vacation for peace and solitude along with the ability to exercise in an environment which is so unique. Running on the 7 mile beach in morning is priceless. The swimming is amazing in the worlds largest salt bath, it rejuvenates your soul. Snorkeling at sharks cove is a gift that makes you want more of this natural wonderland.
Greg is a gracious host, a kindred soul who is blessed with having a place such as Ke Iki Beach to call home. I think about a vacation differently, to cook after a great day of enjoying the aina (land) and then take in a great sunset.
Mahalo Greg for the time to recharge — We will continue to visit, since it takes only 30 minutes to get there from home.
Mahalo and Aloha

We rented a two and a three bedroom apartment These are not bungalows; however, they are wonderful apartments. The two bedroom was slightly above ground level. Both of the bedrooms had sliding glass doors to the lanai, which had a table for outdoor eating. This unit does not have a dishwasher or disposal. It didn’t matter, it was a wonderful apartment. The three bedroom unit is on the top level. You could see the ocean and the beach, as well as a great view of the development. The lanai is accessed from the kitchen/​dining area. In addition to the dining area, this lanai also has an outdoor seating that includes a couch, two chairs, and a coffee table, all with cushy cushions. The kitchen is wonderful, an island, a dishwasher, and a disposal. There is a master suite with a bath and two bedrooms, one additional bath. One bedroom has a double bed, the other has two twin beds
The apartments and the grounds are immaculate. The beach, which is steps away from these units, is the most beautiful beach I have ever seen. It is almost like a private beach, almost no one used it except for us. The manager, Greg, is wonderful and very responsive.
Overall, I would highly recommend this place. You can walk to the grocery store (.5 miles), there is a running/​walking/​biking path. And did I mention the beach? This is food truck central. Honolulu is within a reasonable driving distance. The boys went there several times, including going to the zoo. This is definitely where you want to be.

We always enjoy our stay at Ke Iki Beach Bungalows. This property is at the end of the beach near the rocks of Ke Iki beach. Although beaches in Hawaii are open to the general public, it is one of the least crowded beaches on the north shore, in my opinion. As a guest to the resort, there is a outside shower and of course, your rooms are on the beach. So of the garden suites are on the interior of the property so there is not «ocean view» per se. But only steps away from the beach.
Do not expect a Four Seasons resort. These are more like motels with full kitchens. They are adequate. No room service, towel change or anything like that. No AC either. But the kitchens have dishes, pots and pans, coffee maker, etc. We always bring food to make our meals so we rarely leave the property. There is a Foodland market a mile or less away so you can pickup things you need (Coffee Bean and Tea is also here). This place is more just about relaxing on the beach, watching the waves and enjoying peace and serenity.
I would have given 5 stars but we did have something odd happen on our stay. Someone from the beach came to our unit and asked us if he could use the bathroom. With the popularity of the beach, you have more people coming and going, so I hope this won’t become a problem of security on property. There is a security camera, but I would highly recommend you always lock your doors when you are not in sight.

Ke Iki Beach Bungalows is awesome! We stayed with 3 other couples from Jan 3 – 11, 2015. We had two of the two bedroom bungalows. This was our third time staying on the North Shore — we had rented a beachside home from VRBO and also stayed at the Turtle Bay Resort Ocean Villas. This was by far the most economical choice on the North Shore and the accommodations are fantastic. Walking distance to Ted’s Bakery, the local Foodland market and great snorkeling at Shark’s Cove and Three Tables. Greg (manager) is super laid back and very chill. Rooms are clean and kitchens are well equipped.
One of the couples in our group already booked for Summer 2016.
North Shore is a hidden gem.

I would give the location and the property 5 stars but the interior only 3. The property is in an idyllic section of beach, nice touches like the hammocks and the beach palapa make it feel like your own private beach. The sunset views from the property are amazing! However the rooms are in need of an update and a deep clean– more like a best western inside. Nice set up with all the furniture and kitchen supplies but again everything seemed a bit worn. Oh and the ac was only in one of the bedrooms which I thought a bit odd. I would stay here again for the location if I got a good deal…

Excellent location around the corner from great snorkeling in a laid back lush setting!

Love the nature sound from the ocean at night, woke up at the sound of the humming bird, all I can do is just leave my bedroom open to smell the breeze. Who needs nature apps to help you fall sleep when your staying in bungalow. Great place. with super helpful manager, Greg.

PERFECT VACATION RENTAL — on the windward/​leeward interface, beautiful picturesque not-​too-​crowded beach is nice for swimming. Rooms are great, tastefully decorated, clean and appointed. GORGEOUS LANDSCAPING!!! Friendly and helpful manager.
Full kitchen and nearby Foodland and Coffee Bean and Tea within ½ mile. Halfway between Haleiwa and Kahuku makes all available things nearby. Skip Turtle Bay and other resorts — this is a much better experience!
This is as close as it comes to paradise. Come, enjoy, inhale, chill, de stress and have some active fun!

Nice place, very close to the beach, in fact I would’ve left a 5 star review if it weren’t for the fact that he upped the price twice the same day we were traveling to the location, though we had an emailed confirmed price.
If it were me, I would’ve argued for the price, but my girlfriend and her sister set the arrangement and they figured that we were already there so no use in saying anything because we had no reservations for anywhere else.
He upped the price over $ 100 to $ 1336 and told us it was the tax. When we looked at the email it

I have stayed at a lot of 4 and 5 resorts and I will tell you this is one of those dream spots you don’t want to tell anyone about but you have to because it’s just that good.
We spent a week over thanksgiving in the Hibiscus 2 bedroom beach cottage on the north shore and it was amazing. The beach is out your back door and perfect every day. There is a open deck area and teak table and chairs for each property as well as 2 sun /​lay out chairs. There is a outside shower for the sand as well as hammocks in the palm trees on the beach.
The unit is designed well and has 2 separate bedrooms and one bath. Bedroom one faces the ocean. The second is toward the front of the house. The beds are queens and very comfortable. Linens were crisp and clean. No maid service for the unit and that’s fine. Your on the north shore anyway. Rest. Beach. Eat. Repeat. The bathroom is spacious and has a typhoon flow of water in the shower. Loved it. The entire unit is impeccable and clean. The kitchen has a oven and range, refrigerator and freezer. There is a toaster and blender and microwave. Fully stocked kitchen utensils and plates, cups and spoons.
Foodland grocery store is a block away as well as fresh fruit stands and the legendary north shore food trucks.
The grounds are made up of numerous bungalows and extremely well kept. There is coin operated washer and dryer for the unit for towels and your clothes. The property is gates which is nice and reassuring when you really want to leave every door and window open in the first place.
It is very tranquil and was sold out the week we were there yet we barely knew anyone was on site which I loved.
The property owner /​manager is Greg who was a very nice and helpful person to myself and our family.
Not one negative to say. I will make you aware 1. No air conditioning yet every room has ceiling fans and floor fans. We never had one issue with temperature. It was perfect yet we were there in November so maybe a little humid during summer. 2. The beach is my favorite but you should know it has 3′ surf one day and 25′ the next. If you have little ones, they will not be safe to play in this every day. Some days but when the season for big waves come. There huge. But a tip is it is still 200% nicer then anywhere in Waikiki and on big wave days, go to Ko Olina and snorkel in flat coves and the kids can play safely. Problem solved.
3. Last but not least … You won’t want to come home. You will want to never leave. You will spend most of your time calculating how to live there.

We got married here 2 years ago and had a great time. It’s some of the best Hawaii has to offer. Simple, quaint, beautiful, clean beach with warm clean and clear water. Romantic sunsets everyday. There was a communal space for our rehearsal dinner and for after parties where our friends came to hang out. Our room was truly beach front access, not a 15 minute walk through a giant hotel lobby like in Waikiki, where I grew up. No concrete jungle or parking madness to deal with. Highly recommended.

Really would like to give this just one star and scare off others so booking in the future would not be an issue. I can see how some people may have had issues with other guests but by the same token it can go the other way and having good neighbors can make this a great experience,
There is no service, this is all about location, location, location. 1 min to Pipeline, 10 min to Haleiwa. Great family spot and looking forward to booking again soon.

We had an absolutely magical stay at Ke Iki for our 30^th anniversary trip to the islands.
From the moment of our arrival, we were welcomed and felt embraced in the history and spirit of this lovely hideaway. Greg upgraded us to the Orchid Suite, absolutely the most beautiful and romantic spot we have ever stayed. Our room was gorgeous, with a sweeping view of the beach.
We had massages on the patio, BBQ’d local fish each night and slept so soundly with the surf as our lullaby. Each morning we awoke to a symphony of birds singing the day in — pure joy!
Our neighbors were fun and friendly, the hammocks, and the beach were inviting and incredible. We were just so relaxed and happy — it was perfect in every way!!!
As a side note, I left my pareo (beach coverup) hanging in the bathroom, probably because I was so relaxed! I contacted Greg the next day and after we got home he sent a nice email and told me to expect a package soon. Long story short — he wasn’t able to locate mine, but sent me two beautiful new pareos, with pretty carved hearts, and also some lovely island soap! What a wonderful, kind and classy guy!!!, and what an unexpected and welcome surprise to be the recipient of such generosity!
We can’t wait to return!!!

I’m going to have to agree with Julianad C. This place had beautiful views, clean rooms, and would have been pretty much perfect if it hadn’t been for unwanted guests on our porch. Definitely NOT the romantic experience that was advertised. It was almost as if we had the communal porch that was the sole walk-​through for other guests. Not only were we awoken at 5am in the morning by guests talking two feet from the bedroom window, but we also had a couple of potential guests peep in our windows while we were making breakfast.
Our chat with Greg was a similar experience. No apology, just a handshake for the road. I think the management should consider setting better boundaries for their so-​called «romantic» bungalows, and not let prospective guests roam around freely.

Great place right on the beach. Supremely convenient place to stay in the neighborhood. I wish that we’d stayed here longer. This was by far the best place that we stayed on our trip. It was awesome to be able to walk up the beach to watch the surf competitions. The waves were epic, and the neighbourhood was quiet.

These bungalows are great! I stayed here with my wife and parents this week for a few nights and I couldn’t have asked for a better beach rental. We stayed in both Hibiscus (beach front) and Antherium (garden view). The interior of the rooms were very similar. They were both clean and new and the décor fit perfectly with the beach atmosphere. The beach front rooms had a great patio that overlooked Ke Iki Beach as well as hammocks hanging from the palm trees. The garden view room had a great second floor deck which was perfect while sitting in the sun and enjoying a drink. The only complaint I have was the noise from the neighbors throughout the night. There was music and screaming and cars coming and going through 4 am. I know this is not something the Bungalows can control, but it was still a disturbance while trying to sleep.

Pros: Great place right on the beach with multiple bungalows available for rent. Island furnishing and decent sized bungalows with full kitchens. Manager on property. Decent parking stalls available. Crispy cool and clean waters off a somewhat private beach.
Cons: no air conditioners in rooms, ceiling fans only! beds are hard. walk to water from bungalows is a good 50 yards.
We came here for a wedding and it was beautiful, ceremony on the sand and reception up at the bungalows. Only disturbing part was unknown guests staying at the other bungalows coming into the party and trying to take food.

Just like another reviewer, I also want to keep these bungalows to myself. If you’re a person that likes to vacation in big cities, stay at big hotel resorts that have room service, like to eat out everyday, be near a ton of shopping and people, etc. this is not the place for you.
This place is opposite of what Waikiki is. The bungalows are casual and comfortable. The beach is just outside your door if you’re lucky enough to get the oceanfront rooms. The only downside to these rooms is that the lanai/​patio is open so you share it with the other guests, although each rental has it’s own bench and table. There are a couple of hammocks hanging between some of the trees just past the lanais.
Me+hammock+beach = perfect vacation. This is possibly my most favorite place ever.
