Pros: lovely location right on the beach (although winter waves means only the brave and experienced should go in the water) and the Hibiscus bungalow is quite nice and updated with two bedrooms (beds are comfortable), a modern kitchen/bathroom and a comfy living room. There is a large patio. It's a corner unit so pretty large. Cons: No amenities provided and the place was cleaned in a very basic way between use. Place was not ready when we arrived and I could see it was the same bath mat as before it was cleaned. There was grime on the Britta filter and coffee maker. From the booking to throughout the stay, the manager Greg was incredibly curt (not friendly in the least), non responsive and made no effort to greet us. We had to find our parking spot and bungalow on our own. He booked a large family gathering in the connecting bungalow and so we had to contend with a noisy group playing music all day and lots of kids running around the entire weekend. There is no real divider between patios. Zero privacy. The bungalows are not meant for that kind of occupancy and even his Airbnb profile specifies no parties. When I texted him about this and said that if we knew, we wouldn't have booked it, he only responded by saying he booked them that morning. No apology or offer of compensation. He took down the wrong card number and I had to bring my card to him to charge the stay at the end. At that point, he tried to act all friendly. I didn't even bother to get into it with him. As other reviews have stated this as an issue to, he clearly doesn't care. We met the owners and I suppose they don't either. We paid close to $1800 for two nights for this type of service. Terrible.

This place is alright. The room is nice but I feel like the manager was less than accommodating or concerned about the quality of my stay. We drove an hour away to get nicer weather and a nicer beach. However, it is winter so I can’t compare how the place is during summer. The power has been out for a while now and there are NO emergency supplies. We don’t even have a second blanket, much less a flashlight. Meh. The place is nice, like I said and seems clean. However, returning again next time I’ll book somewhere else.

The manager didn't feel like greeting us when we first arrived and told us via SMS to find the our own room. He then gave us the wrong room name. After realizing his mistake, he made an appearance and led us to the bungalow, which was quite outdated on first impression. For the high price, the amenities are surprisingly lacking. There was no coffee, no shampoo, no conditioner, no cooking oil, not even greeting bottled waters. There was no TV in the bedroom either. The view is nice but you can also get it for free if you stay elsewhere and walk here for the view.

Tenants leave rubbish all over beach. Two weeks ago I filled 6 rubbish bags. Had unopened panda express, tons of unopened food from foodland, burnt pallets, clothes, slippers, tons of plastic rubbish. I collected the items from near the tide line and put them near the fence line. Some dumb lady came out and started yelling at me. I told her , "be proactive, make your renters pick up their trash" She is definitely a Karen. Shame on this place and it's practices. I will continue to pile up your trash at your location. Pick up your rubbish Keiki bungalows!

What a special place. Quiet, well-kept, yoga pavilion, on the beach, beautiful sunsets, delightful morning swims before setting out to explore the rest of the area. Greg, and his wife, Annie were always helpful and friendly. The housekeeper also added to the positive vibe. In addition to a clean bungalow, she brought us flowers, shared her knowledge of local birds, and showed us where we could do laundry (note, pack less - do laundry). So well situated, we took a break from the car and rented bikes. Easy bike access to food trucks, grocery store, Shark’s Cove, and so many beaches.

This place was amazing! Booked this for a few nights for our honeymoon and did not regret it. The location is amazing steps away from the beach. Falling asleep to the sound of waves ever night was so relaxing. Close to all the famous north shore food trucks. Unit was recently updated and had everything you need. Sunsets were amazing and saw whales every morning on our deck while having our coffee. If you stay here you will not be disappointed!

STOP LOOKING! This is the place you want to stay. The location is perfect, a short drive to town. The bungalows are AWESOME and so freaking cute. Greg is amazing to work with. The photos on the site do not do this place justice. I will be booking here anytime I return- well worth the money!

Man it was hard leaving this place. We stayed for 4 nights and the highlight of our time in Oahu was def chillin in the hammocks (for guests only) by the beach right next to our bungalow. Ke Iki Beach Bungalows is a special place. Greg was great and instantly available when we needed him (questions, check in/ out process). We’ll be back.

This place is quiet, safe, clean, and super chill. Greg who manages the place is very involved and made our stay great. The beach is hard to access for the general public so it feels like a private beach. We enjoyed hours of watching the giant waves from our beachfront patio. Not all units have a view of the beach so if that’s important to you make sure you clarify what you are reserving.

Had a great family stay with our family of 5 adults. 3bdrm cottage was fantastic. The best part of our stay was our interaction with the manager, Greg. Our stay at ke iki was the result of another booking that fell through, and Greg booked us into beautiful cottage. Bruce Jenkins (author of north shore chronicles) stopped by and Swapped big wave stories and history with Greg. Fantastic vacation memories. Completely updated kitchen & bathrooms, great furnishings. Plan on coming back

Came here when my whole family visited. I live in town and it was an awesome getaway to enjoy. The beach available to walk on is great with beautiful sunsets. The place was clean and had everything we needed. Feels like home. Will definitely come back in the future

Okay... First things first - Oahu is expensive and compared to European hotel standards, prices are generally higher related to the quality you get for your money elsewhere. That being said, there are still certain things I would expect to find in a place that costs 450 US$ a night... Like a kitchen that has seen some real renovation since the 70's... Like a non-rusty fridge and non-disintegrating bath furniture from the 90's. (Please note that these observations may not apply to other bungalows/apartments but they did for ours, the Heliconia.) Everything else was really nice - the location breathtaking, directly on the beach, two huge hammocks below the elevated bungalows as well as plenty comfortable plastic Adirondacks to take down to the shoreline. The thunder of those February waves alone as well as their energy and height (still small according to local surf afficionados) just make you feel so good, it is definitely worth staying at a place so close you can reach the water in under a minute walking time. The living room and the bedrooms were comfy if a bit dark and the host friendly if a bit awkward... In a good way. I would go back there as the location on the north shore is premium (if you have a car), but I would make sure to see recent pictures first before choosing a certain apartment/bungalow.

I was pleasantly surprised how perfect the bungalows were equiped . The location is perfect, about a two minute walk to the beach. I spent every morning on the beach watching the surf crashing on to the shore. I meet many friendly people that were staying at the bungalows and walking on the beach. The beach and the surf reminded of my childhood holidays when I was a kid, it’s very relaxing and soothing to be right next to the Pacific Ocean. Greg is a wonderful guy, very helpful , low key and has an easy way about him. I will definitely will be back to the beach bungalows as it has a great location and is very peaceful location surrounded by beautiful gardens.I wish I had of extended my stay at the beach bungalows, instead of staying in Waikiki for two nights before flying out. If you like great surf , fantastic beaches and a low key holiday you’ll love this place.

Plucking something from the 1950's for us to enjoy in the twenty-first century is key to the charm of this place. There are a couple kinds of accommodations; we chose one of about five, I believe, ocean front cottages. There are two duplex ground level and one raised single unit sitting on a wonderful and uncrowded beach. The beach is the key here, there are few places in Hawaii or in dozens of other beaches we have visited around the world that offer this proximity to a beautiful beach. Certainly not at the price of Ke Iki or for two or more time as much. Unless you are a great water-person, during the winter, I suggest, you merely watch the ferocity of the shore break. I understand in the summer when the swell comes from the opposite direction, the beach is one for snorkeling and swimming. You are a fifteen minute stroll northward up Ke Iki road to the most famous surfing beach in the world, the Pipeline. You can walk up the beach but the sand as beautiful and clean as it is, is deep and a challenge for this old guy to walk on; although I did it a few times. Going the other direction, about the same distance, is Waimea Bay, an equally famous beach. This is the spot for world class surfers or arm chair surfers. Did I mention the whales. You can watch humpback whales and their babies, breaching and swimming. A pair of binoculars helps in this endeavor. Our room was clean and neat, with fresh linens, all in a 50's Hawaiian-beach kitsch. It really is perfect. Nothing at all fancy, a bit thread-bare and rusty but all part of the allure. Our room, the Gardenia, came equipped with a small flat-screen TV and limited satellite offerings. We only turned the set on once in two weeks. My wife told me not to mention it because we want our gracious host, Greg Gerstenberger and his charming wife Annie, to be successful, but at the same time to keep this place on the QT; but they have the fastest wireless network of any hotel I have been in, anywhere in the world. For you techies: 400 to nearly 700 Mbs download and around 100Mbs upload, Enough to handle all your streaming or internet requirements. Maid service is available for a fee. There is a barbecue grill and minimally stocked kitchen with microwave, stove and oven, refrigerator and coffee maker. The Gardenia is a small suite with a kitchen. There is a separate bedroom, with a curtained cut-out opening between the living and bedroom. It allows you to see out the front windows from the bedroom or close the colorful tropical-themed curtains for privacy. The living room has a day bed, an uncomfortable couch, your dining table with only two chairs, a coffee table and a small built in armoire. There are some pegs in the rooms to hang the minimal amount of clothes you will need to wear on the North Shore. There is a large window off the living room facing the incredible view of the beach and ocean, all framed by palm trees on the property. If you want you can actually talk with and make friends with the few folks in the other rooms. The place never seems crowded and on the best days, there are only a few dozen folks on the beach. Our neighbors gave us charcoal, beach chairs and mats when they left. There are a few places nearby to eat. We depended on the Foodland market, less than a 10 minute walk and across the street. The have an excellent variety of prepared food, groceries and a deli selection with great island food. There are several different Poke dishes and they are fabulous. Try the Sunrise Shack, a mile up the road or Ted’s bakery a little farther. There are permanent food trucks adjacent to Woodland ranging from good to OK. In the town of Haleiwa—Ke Iki is located closer to the world famous Sunset Beach—about 5 miles south are a variety of restaurants from informal to Hawaiian informal. Part of the fun is exploring which places you like or don’t like. Come to the Ke Iki Beach Bungalows if you want to be on an uncrowded beach with sunsets, whales, beautiful sand and azure water. It’s worth it.

Perfect beach, huge waves

Laid back and absolutely awesome place on the beach

Great, spacious, affordable places on the north shore. Would recommend to anyone. Comfortable beds. Awesome location with parking.

(Translated by Google) Good location and friendly but good sense of proximity owner (Original) 最高のロケーションとフレンドリーなのに、近くない距離感のオーナーがグッド👍

What a great vacation spot!!!! this place really gave a feeling of the North Shore Island vibe with the amenities of home. So clean. So authentic. So friendly both the staff and the other guests staying there. The location is amazing! steps to the beach. short walk to shops and food locations. Woke up in the morning with a walk on the beach, then sipping coffee on the terrace viewing the people and ocean. Sunsets are gorgeous at this spot! I love that we had a choice of cooking / bbq / or going out to eat, all within steps of the bungalows. Can't wait to book my next trip and stay at this place again!

We absolutely loved staying at the Ke lki bungalows. The bungalows themselves are charming and comfortable. Every night we fell asleep to the sound of crashing waves. In the morning you have the choice to sit on your lanai, stroll out to the beach or enjoy any of the community picnic tables in the garden. Greg kept in contact with us prior to arriving and came down to chat with us when we were there .He genuinely cares how each guest is enjoying their stay. We loved talking to him and hearing about the history of the property. The North shore is a special place and I love the vibe. Anywhere on the road going through you can find great food. From delicious coffee drinks and açaí bowls at the sunrise shack to the best Pad Thai at the elephant shack. North shore is also know for big surf in the winter and we had the opportunity to walk from our place to watch surfers at pipeline. Great spot for everything. I was told the snorkeling here is fantastic in the summer. Can’t wait to come back!!! Mahalo for the wonderful stay.

This place was an absolute win for us. It’s a perfectly sized oceanfront “resort” with the cutest self-catering bungalows. We travelled as a family and would not look anywhere else to stay for next time. The rooms are a bit more updated than pictured (which was a great surprise!). Walk to sharks cove for food trucks and a grocery store and watch the sunset over killer waves outside your door. Book early for an oceanfront- they book up quickly.

We were looking for a night away from Honolulu and this place was perfect!!! Quiet, cozy and the beach access is perfect. The sunsets are like non other!

The best Airbnb location in Oahu and very hard to book. I selfishly want to give this one star so no one else discovers this gem.

We enjoyed our stay here, the place has a perfect location in between Waimea beach and the Banazai (Pipeline) beach, it is really 5-10 minutes drive from anywhere that you might want or need, as well as the direct access to the beach, which was very beautiful, though it's a shore break so access to the water is not recommended. The room itself was very well equipped though outdated, the facilities were OK, nothing more. The main issue with the room that we had is that it was located very close to the road, so it was very noisy and we could hardly get any sleep. If you are noise sensitive, make sure that you get a room that is on the beach side and not on the road side.

Bungalows are very cute and the beach was just two minutes’ walk from our non-oceanfront unit. There’s a great little food truck park a few minutes down the road and close to shops and restaurants. The manager, Greg, was hard to get a hold of and seemed very spacey—he never gave us a room key after promising to bring one over twice. There was also construction basically on the front porch that we hadn’t known about. There is a busy road right next to some of the bungalows.

My Wife and I had the most amazing time at Ke Iki Beach Bungalows. Annie and Greg were so welcoming and hospitable. They invited us for dinner a few times and we got to spend some time with them and their local friends which made our stay so special. The Bungalows are located right at Ke-Iki Beach and some of them are beach front and just a few steps from the beach. The bungalows were just renovated and are beautiful and cozy. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need if you like cooking and preparing your own meals ( Which we did :) ) and there is a barbecue outside for the guests to use. The LOCATION could not be more perfect!!! with Shark's Cove, Pipeline, Waimea bay and Foodland all within a walking distance. All the best surf spots are within a shord drive and the town of Haleiva is about 10-15 minute drive. It's hard to imagine staying anywhere else. We wish we had more time for our stay and can't wait for our next visit. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Home like feel. Greg manager is great, friendly, accommodating. Beaches are great. Would highly recommend to a friend.

I just passed by so I could go to the beach. Would love to stay there though! Looks nice. Would be great if I could get my whole family in there. Sits on a great beach!

Can’t beat this location for a vacation rental bungalow. Clean and updated. Chill spot to relax. Close to grocery store, food trucks and sharks cove for snorkeling.

Paradise.

Fantastic place to stay on the North Shore! Greg and the Talbotts are great hosts. The Pikake Bungalow is bright, breezy, and perfect for a couple. It is set in the middle of the property so you get the ocean air without the ocean roar. I'll be staying here again.

Had a great stay November 2017. Greg was a wonderful host and very knowledgeable of the north shore. Every person I cam in contact with was helpful. Thanks Greg.

Literal paradise

This place is beautiful and well accommodated. Could not ask for a better Hawaiian experience

Literal paradise. I would move in forever if it were allowed. It’s is exactly what a person like me could ever want. Roar of the ocean crashing against a pretty private beach. A short drive from all the best that the North Shore has to offer. Without a doubt will stay here every time we come to O’ahu.

Great place near food land sharks cove next door and awesome Ke Iki beach out front. Be careful of the shore break here.

Fabulous, well kept, and very nice secure gated community of bungalows

Simply fantastic and relaxing.

Great place to relax, right on the beach. Nothing fancy but so comfy. We had a one bedroom that was perfect for just the 2 of us. Easy access to the beach and surrounding areas. Would definitely stay again, however will plan ahead for a 2 bedroom beachfront without a second level. Great value staycation. We will be back!!!

A amazing place. We stayed at the Hibiscus for 10 days. The view is awesome, it's laid back, close to Sunset Beach and the vibe is North Shore all the way. We booked already for next year.

All I can say is if u r lucky enough to get a bungalow here take it. The reservation sheet has bookings out 2 years!

Ke Iki is a top tier beach

My favorite beach

(Translated by Google) Great location, fantastic. (Original) Super Lage, traumhaft.

As a Oregon licenced real estate broker, I am very picky. This will be the only place for my family to stay! The bungalow we stayed in was very clean and beautifully decorated. The hospitality was absolute 5 star! The location is the best of the best.This is true Hawaii! If you are looking for peace and tranquillity this is the place for you!

Beautiful property! The sound of the waves will lull you to sleep once fall and winter set in.

I love this hidden gem of a place to staycation in Oahu!

Awesome vacation rental

Amazing and beautiful beach

Super chill and cozy. 5/5

Getting a little tired.

Great

We went to the beach behind the bungalows and sat and watched the stars while listening to the waves crash into the beach. It was a great time!

Amazing location with unreal beach and sunsets

Cockroaches in the bungalow which was disgusting. And no A/C which wasn't mentioned until I arrived at the unit. First unit was very nice. Second was not.

Always a great place to relax. Most beautiful sunsets. Management is outstanding. Highly recommend.

(Translated by Google) How many times will you visit, the seventh or the eighth? . . It is not suitable for those who are expecting "Successful". A place to share important time with important people. It is full of gentle and gentle times. (Original) 何度目の訪問になるだろう、７回目か、８回目か。。。『至れり尽くせり』を期待する方には向きません。大切な人と、大切な時間を共有するための場所。優しく、穏やかな時に満ちています。

(Translated by Google) My boys had great fun at boys (Original) My keikis had wonderful fun at keikis

Perfect North Shore location for sunsets, whale watching, beach walks. However, Bungalow unit near road in dire need of updating; not well maintained- kitchen supplies very minimal, shower had poor water pressure, traffic quite loud . Units beachside appear to be updated, more appealing.

Beautiful, quiet, amazing

Great place to enjoy a fantastic vacation
