Ke Iki Beach Bungalows

Loved our stay here, we rented the anthurium unit for one night. It had everything we needed, and right on the beach. The unit itself is also right on the road and it's very very noisy at night, and while it's also the largest unit to rent it shares walls with 2 other units. We got there about an hr after check in and had to wait 30 mins for the cleaner to go in. That was annoying to say the least when you're spending $1000+ per night, check in was at 3 and check out was 11. plenty of parking for the unit, street parking is close by but not the safest.

Fabulous family getaway that's conveniently located on Oahu's North Shore in Haleiwa. Close to restaurants, golf, horseback riding, shopping, and more. Located on the beach and includes an outside shower to get off all the sand before you enter back into the beautiful and clean bungalow. Great large outdoor patio to relax and watch the beautiful sunset and venture into the 7 mile miracle. Highly recommend this location to locals and visitors.

These bungalows are located in the North Shore area and are situated alongside Ke Iki Beach. The property had gated entry which was nice and a small parking area within. We arrived at a certain time to collect the keys to our bungalow from the manager onsite; however it would have been nice if there was system in place to retrieve your keys or check-in at any time (similar to a hotel) as we were driving in from over an hour away. I do not recall the name of the particular bungalow I stayed in, but I liked it. It was on the second floor and had a good number of windows which allowed for the ocean breezes to flow thought. This was very much welcomed as the unit did not have A/C and only electric fans were provided.i could see how it would have been very hot or uncomfortable if I was on a ground unit with no A/C. There was also a large covered patio/deck at the front where you can views the beach and watch the sunset.The property for the most part was very private. This was my first time staying at a bungalow so, I was not exactly used to the lack of concierge or housekeeping amenities. Towels and some kitchen items were provided, but make sure to bring extra of whatever you think you might need. There is a grocery store about a 5-7 min drive away so that was helpful at times.Overall, not a bad stay and beautiful sunsets if you are looking to really get away to tranquility in a remote location in North Beach.

I've got mixed feelings about this place. Here's the Cliffs Notes version:Pros: -Right on Keiki Beach-Fall asleep to the sounds of the ocean-Rooms have a kitchenette -Parking is included-Gated, secure propertyCons: -BUGS-Some rooms are not very clean-Only ceiling fans for A/C-Your deposit doesn't go towards your total charge and is only refunded after you check out.-Possible issues with the computer reservation programFor the longer version (War and Peace edition):I booked a room 8 months in advance so you can imagine my surprise at finding out that I wasn't assigned to my room or any room in the system when I checked in. Greg the manager was luckily able to put us in another room for one night though and we were able to stay in our requested room for the remainder of our stay.Our first stay was in the gardenia room. We opened the door to be greeted by a roach just chillin' on the window. Señor Cucaracha glanced at me in a Kafkaesque fashion before his light was snuffed out by a timely swat with a rolled up magazine. Sorry not sorry dude. We paid for this room. The windows in the bathroom don't give you a complete seal of the outdoors so you will get all manner of insects stopping by to say hello at night if you have the light on. I killed a flying ant only to find another ant flew in to be its pest proxy.The walls are thin. If your neighbor has a crying fussy toddler guess who you are going to hear at odd hours of the night? You'll also hear said toddler screaming at odd early hours of the morning, whose parents let them run around naked in public while they eat breakfast and feel OK having their clothes and toys strewn over the sidewalk and common areas.We didn't use the kitchenette too much but it didn't look like it was in great shape. The fridge and stove were rusty. The shower area was rusty too. Good thing I've gotten a tetanus shot in the past. As for the rest of the room, it seemed like they cleaned some areas but left others in a sad state. There were some spots that had layers of dust accumulating on them.We moved into the pikake room after the first night which was so much better! The room is newer and looked like it was cleaned more thoroughly. This room comes with your own private parking spot, a little shaded bench and table outside, newer appliances, newer shower, and more privacy. I didn't hear any of my neighbors in this room, only the rise and fall of the ocean waves at night. The only benefit of the gardenia room that I saw was that it is right along the beach and is a bigger room. The pikake room is only a short walk to the beach though.Both the rooms do not have A/C, only high powered fans. We came here in mid October and it still was a little warm for me. The fans helped, but if you stay here get used to the fact that the humidity will make you feel like you're sticky all the time without an A/C unit. I was actually really hesitant to want to stay here after I was charged twice for my deposit. The deposit for us to stay here was $300 so when I was charged $600 to reserve a room I haven't even stayed in you can imagine how I felt! When I emailed the manager he said there was only one charge on file and said to take it up with my credit card company. In additional messages the tone he conveyed came across as defensive about the situation, reiterating that he never charged me twice. I asked the credit card company if there is ever an instance where a charge can be made twice where it isn't authorized by the vendor. They said no, credit card companies will not authorize any additional charges unless it's done on the vendor's side. After months of having the credit card company dispute my case for me, the extra $300 was taken off my statement. This indicates that the bungalows acknowledge there was a double charge.When I arrived I didn't know what to expect of the manager based on how he came across in our emails. When I met Greg in person though, he is a very nice, friendly guy. Very chill and relaxed and the opposite of what I imagined based on our previous correspondence. Unfortunately, I had to give a reminder to refund my deposit otherwise I would have lost the money I spent to reserve the room that apparently wasn't even reserved for me.Note that your deposit does not go towards your total rate. You will only get it back after you check out. If you cancel at any time your deposit is non refundable. I felt like my deposit was being held hostage during my stay and that if I did anything to irk the management I wouldn't get it back. You also are charged a cleaning fee on top of your total amount. While there are some good things about the beach bungalows, I don't think I'd stay here again because of the problems I had in reserving my room and the cleanliness in some of the rooms. Unfortunately the bungalows were definitely a bungled low in our trip to Hawaii.

We can't say enough about this beautiful paradise! We happened to visit during one of the rainiest weeks in roughly 20 years. Flash flood warnings every day and little time to adventure too far. So- having this little slice of heaven on the beach made our vacation a success! The view and ambiance simply to-die-for! The accommodations pristine and the management so kind! If you have the opportunity to spend any amount of time here, you will truly create a memory that will last a lifetime.

I was trying to plan a special stay-cation and the bungalows seemed perfect. My partner frequently surfs the north shore, and the location appeared just right. Over the span of a week- I emailed twice, sent a message on Instagram, and called multiple times. I was able to leave a voicemail once. I called again after no return call, and spoke to someone briefly who said they were not on the property and to call back in an hour. When I called back after the agreed wait time, there was no answer or option to leave a message. I have never been contacted back. We were extremely disappointed at the lack of customer service we received and couldn't recommend this location to friends or family either.

At sunset, everyone gathers near the beach / deck to watch the sun go down. Great location near several beaches, groceries, the bus and snorkelling. Good value for the money.

Great location we got our room right on the beach it was nicely decorated.It was the oasis Bungalo unfortunately right underneath is the common area so a lot of people sitting there in tell about 10 o'clock at night so if you are looking for relaxing FYI on that also beds are hard as a rock and The cleanliness is not so great cupboards and drawers inside and out need to be wiped down quite nasty. Top of fridge hasn't been wiped down in some time. the windows really need to be washed badly. I don't think I am that much of a clean freak ok well maybe I am. I don't want to us anything come out of that filth, and they charge extra for cleaning

This is our favorite get-a-way on the North Shore of Oahu. Quant and cute cottages on the beach. This last trip was a last minute booking for a tail end of a business trip. We stayed in Pikake Garden cottage. Cute and adorable studio with a kitchen. 50 steps to the beach and the perfect cozy room. Thank you Greg for your hospitality always an enjoyable time staying here!

different versions on MODERNMarch 2024Definitely can't take away that it's right on the beach and the views are amazing. Unfortunately it's advertised as modern and updated but that just isn't the case. Majority is from the 70's and 80's and the kicker for us was there was only air conditioning in the bedrooms. For $1200 per night we were disappointed and didn't end up staying. Greg the manager was super friendly and was very helpful through the booking process and arrival process. unfortunately he still had to charge us for 2 nights which was $2400. Please just BEWARE that there terminology of MODERN maybe different then yours as this was the case with us. Once again Greg was very friendly and the place is clean but for the money Not worth it. We are staying at Turtle Bay and the amenities are plentiful and the cost was 25% less.
