Waialea Bay Beachfront Home with AC
Nestled along the shoreline of Waialea Bay, Hawai‘i, Kolea is a beautifully renovated two-story beach house offering a tranquil, private escape with beach access at your fingertips. Built with clear‑fir walls, oak flooring, and custom koa cabinetry, the home’s design evokes warmth and elegance, while mature landscaping ensures both serenity and seclusion—yet it's merely steps from the ocean. Upstairs, the light-filled living area and kitchen under a high-beamed ceiling open onto a spacious covered lanai ideal for dining or unwinding with ocean views. Downstairs, the lush grassy yard invites barefoot play, with an outdoor hot-and-cold water shower providing a refreshing rinse after sandy beach adventures. Air conditioning is available in all bedrooms for added comfort, but many guests prefer the open breeze and ceiling fans for that genuine tropical experience.
Inside, the home sleeps seven across three King beds and one Twin, with two full bathrooms offering convenience and space. The layout strikes a balanced blend of style and casual comfort through thoughtful amenities—including a TV in the downstairs bedroom, well-equipped kitchen, washer/dryer, Wi-Fi, a grill, beach chairs, towels, and a lawn perfect for kids to play.
Guest reviews highlight Kolea’s rare combination of peaceful privacy and beachfront access. One raving guest described walking “out the front gate and directly onto the beach” as “an amazing feeling,” while noting that “the upstairs lanai overlooks the ocean but still feels private from the beach because of the vegetation surrounding the property”. The house is complete with AC for those warm summer months.

Amazing!
This home was absolutely perfect for our family and made our stay even better than we imagined. The view from the back porch and easy access to the beautiful beach were a favorite! The house had all the comforts of home…well stocked for cooking, easy to use amenities such as TV, washer/dryer, plenty of linens and comfy beds. Mary was extremely attentive and made sure our stay was perfect. We happily recommend this wonderful home!

Wonderful
We had a great trip. Everything was wonderful. The view to the water was my favorite. I loved having the windows opened and hearing the ocean. We rented a kayak for the week. We rented bikes for the week. We used the kitchen for almost all our meals. The snorkeling from the beach in front was great we saw lots of fish, an octopus and turtles. At night we went out to the rock pools and could see brittle stars and all kinds of stuff. Lots of different kinds of birds.
Mary from 2 papayas is great. We didn’t have any issues but she was available if we did. We had a question during our stay and she responded very quickly.
I would love to stay again.

Great House on 69 Beach
I have stayed on 69 Beach before at another place but much prefer this fantastic house. The interiors are updated and the expansive yard gives nice privacy between you and the rest of the beachgoers, of which there can be many since 69 Beach is the best around. The kitchen was better stocked than many vacation rentals I've been in, which is appreciated as you're not going to want to leave for meals. The property manager is top notch ... don't hesitate to book if you're wanting a low-key beach trip with a smaller group.

7 days in Paradise !!
We spent a week at this home and had a wonderful family vacation. The home had everything we could wish for and more. Well stocked kitchen, lovely home, comfortable beds, air-conditioning in the bedrooms which we didn’t need, amazing sunsets and stunning views of Waialea Bay right from the lanai. Beautiful large yard with outdoor shower which we all enjoyed using and just a few steps from your private yard out to the shoreline and sandy beach! Amazing snorkeling, swimming just steps away. Nearby farmers market, fresh fish market, Puako General Store which had just about anything we needed. Thank you to 2 Papayas management . We will defiantly be back.
