KEY Curation Notes

True oceanfront on the North Shore, directly above the surf break that shares its name. The estate sits on a point above "Uppers (Samurai)" and "5-O's," two named breaks that produce world-class waves in winter and calm, swimmable water in summer. Waimea Bay, Shark's Cove, and Sunset Beach are a short drive. Haleiwa Town is about 10 minutes.
The Japanese-inspired design is genuinely distinctive. The property includes a private dojo with a soaking tub, samurai statues throughout the grounds, a cedar-lined walk-in closet in the primary suite, and a 12-person movie theater — plus a billiard room, grand piano, and Sonos system. The architecture carries a consistent aesthetic that sets it apart from anything else in this portfolio.
Three of five bedrooms have ensuites; two share guest bathrooms. The three king suites each have private bathrooms. The queen bedroom and the bunk room (three twins) share three full guest bathrooms. The primary suite has no A/C — ceiling fans only — worth noting for summer stays when North Shore temperatures climb.
The saltwater infinity pool is heated via propane, with a refundable deposit. A $700 propane deposit covers pool heating and the tiki torch system; the unused portion is refunded at checkout. There is no jacuzzi — the dojo soaking tub serves that function.
Monthly only, on a remote stretch of the North Shore. A car is essential — groceries require a drive to Haleiwa Town or beyond. The estate is private and secluded, which is precisely the draw, but it's worth setting expectations: this is not a walkable neighborhood. KEY.co grocery delivery makes particular sense here for a 30-day stay — arriving stocked for the first week avoids an immediate run into town.
