Our Ewa Beach vacation rentals located on Oahu's Leeward Coast is a piece of the island that quietly beckons its visitors through the many golf courses, Kiawe trees and peaceful pace. Ewa means stray and it's possible that golfers and others will stray from wherever they are to flock here, which instantly evokes a warm, small island town feel.On Oahu's South Shore, if you ask for directions, you'll often hear reference to Ewa, pointing toward the west along the shore. Calmness emanates while walking the golf courses or visiting nearby plantations or simply sitting on some craggy rocks overlooking the sea.
Things To Do
If you enjoy trains, visit the Hawaiian Railway with the kids for a 90-minute ride, windows open and warm island breezes flowing. Hear sugar cane and old Hawaiian history, through a narrated train tour, then relax at one of the picnic spots for a sunny afternoon's respite. Outdoor living history, exploration of the storied past of sugar plantations and a variety of cultures encompass a visit to Hawaii's Plantation Village (Waipahu, within one mile of Ewa Beach). They offer special events too and this sight serves as a fine alternative to the Polynesian Cultural Center.Ewa is wealthy in its golf courses, including the Hawaii Prince Golf Club (designed by Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay) and its 27-hole course overlooking Waianae Mountains. Coral Creek Golf Course is another round to play, with its signature 10th hole, overlooking a waterfall. In addition the golf courses, Ewa Beach has a great location to several beaches, low-key sights and accessibility to Oahu's additional small towns, Aiea, Pearl City and Hickam Air Force Base.
