Our beach estate is located on over an acre of land, just one house back (a quick 30 second walk down a sandy beach path) to one of the best white sand beaches in Hawaii. This is the only beach in Hawaii to consistently show up as one of the top ten beaches in the world lists. Unlike most beaches in Hawaii our beach is mostly free of tourists so you can actually have space and relax. On weekdays you will virtually have the entire beach to yourself!

Our 2200 sq foot home neighbors some of the finest properties on Oahu, just doors down from where the Obama family stays when they come to Hawaii. One of the very few properties that is actually a LEGAL vacation rental and has been since the early 90's, so you can be assured that your rental will be available when you arrive!

Our property offers the utmost relaxation and tranquility. Feel the white sand between your toes, bask in the warm Hawaiian sun, dive into the crystal clear aqua waters, and be glad you've made the best choice for your Hawaiian vacation!

Our two story house offers Ocean and Mountain Views, one house back from Kailua beach, 30 second walk down a sandy beach path. We are also just about a 5 mine drive to the famous Lanikai Beach. Escape to Kailua, a small beach town located just 20 minutes from Honolulu and Waikiki, truly away from it all!

Our home features high speed wireless internet, two flat screen tvs, Hawaiian koa wood cabinets, marble, and crown molding, modeled after the historic residence next door. There is a NEW window A/C unit in the master bedroom (it's the only bedroom that has ac as it doesn't face the ocean) and screens on all windows and fans throughout the house.

There are two large lanais one upstairs (with ocean and mountain views) and one downstairs. Brand new deck as of October 2024. The house is situated on an acre of land with lush landscaping, allowing ample room to lay out in the Hawaiian sun or let the kids play. The yard has beautiful plumeria trees, red hibiscus bushes, orchids, and of course, a coconut grove.

The house has one King bed, two queen beds and two twin beds. We also provide a pack n play if needed. It has two full bathrooms, one with a tub/shower combo the other with a walk in shower. The master bedroom (king bed and a twin) and one full bathroom are located upstairs where the kitchen, dining room and living room are. The other two bedrooms and second bathroom are located on the first floor. The second bedroom has a queen bed and the third bedroom has a queen and a twin.

The kitchen is stocked with everything you need to cook. It has a full sized oven, four burner cooktop, refrigerator/freezer, microwave, dishwasher, toaster and coffee maker. The kitchen has four barstools, perfect for hanging out while meals are prepared or for casual breakfasts. The dining room table seats six and there is also an outdoor patio set complete with tables and chairs with an ocean view. New sectional couch in living room.

A full sized washer and dryer are located inside the house for your convenience as well.

We have one security camera located outside to the left of the front door that monitors the driveway to ensure guest and property safety.

Very nice calm property away from the tourist hotspots. Great beach front access and wonderful spot on the island.

Inside overall was nice and well maintained considering it's an historic property. Lack of air conditioning does take some getting used to but primary bedroom a/c made that room very comfortable. Kitchenware was clean and more than adequate for simple, fun meals on the 2nd floor lanai looking out to the ocean. Beds were very comfortable (real mattresses) for a great night's sleep. Beach chairs, umbrella, etc, made beach trips a breeze. Grounds and neighborhood, as well as proximity to beach were excellent. Mahalo!

After a few days of a non-stop family reunion around Waikiki, staying in Kailua was another world. The neighborhood is so peaceful and the beach is so beautiful. We were thinking things like, oh the sand is a bit too soft and the water a little too warm. The house is homey and comfortable, the location is super convenient. It really is just steps to the beach. Crystal makes everything easy, and is always available to answer questions. We were there during a tsunami evacuation and she checked in on us to make sure we were aware and were ok.It’s the perfect spot for a family with kids.

Great location and beautiful beach! Check-in/out were easy and no problems with access to the house. All bedrooms were roomy and nice with lots of bedding. Bathrooms were decent and large. Kitchen, living room, dining area and decking were great. Really appreciated having an outdoor shower with both cold and heated water.Only one bedroom had a window AC, the others only had ceiling fans. If they also had ACs, sleeping conditions would be better. Had to keep the windows fully open to make the ones with only fans more comfortable. Luckily, there usually were constant breezes from the ocean that helped.

We three couples traveled to Oahu to attend a wedding in Kailua. We wanted a comfortable beach house to enjoy beautiful Kailua Beach and unwind around wedding events and some golf. This house was the perfect choice. The interior is older but clean and nicely maintained. Everything functioned as it should. The new deck is spacious and attractive. We spent cocktail hours reviewing the day and enjoying the wonderful breezes. The sea breeze provided ample air circulation and we all slept very comfortably. I highly recommend this delightful house for its comfort, proximity to the beach and Kailua restaurants and shopping, and responsive owner.

Crystal was very helpful. Great location and close to the beach. Lots of room and great view of the ocean and hearing of the ocean waves. Only AC in master suite not a problem at all. Windows open down stairs and patio door open upstairs provided for a nice breeze. Would most definitely book again. Mahalo.

checkin process was simple and efficient house was totally ready for us. When we arrived. Communication with the property owner was timely. The home itself is a lovely historic property near the ocean with easy beach access. We actually left some prescription glasses at the home which they are sending to us thankfully. All in all, we really enjoyed our week in Kailua.

On the surface the property was nice but between mildew on bed pillows, late responses to outside lighting issues, not enough trash bags for kitchen, lack of patio furniture for lounging, extensive dust in primary bedroom as well as dirty/worn chairs in bedrooms, pack and play mildewed…the location was conveniently located to beach area and outdoor shower made cleanup easy…

Host was excellent with responses and clearly conveying expectations. Property was very pretty and along the beach access our daughter normally uses to get to the beach. Kitchen well accessorized with cooking needs, spices, etc. Our space was shared by family of 2 older adults and 2 younger adults. Stayed for a week of enjoyment, both before and after the wedding.

First the listing says air conditioning, but it’s actually 1 unit in the upper bedroom and it barely put out cool air. My mother, age 75, was very hot in the room. The rest of the rooms had just fans and it was not enough to keep us comfortable, especially sleeping. Second, within minutes of arriving to the house with our dinner my sister found a cockroach in the silverware drawer so we had to head out to get traps to put all over the kitchen and rewash everything. Third, my mother used the upstairs shower and it would go back and forth from hot to cold and she almost scald herself when she first got in because she was not expecting it to do that nor were there any notes giving us any warning of any issues. The house was in a nice quiet area with a nice path to the beach which was absolutely gorgeous and close to a lot of areas we went to, but we ended up leaving a day early and stayed in a hotel because the 4 of us were not getting any sleep due to the heat. There was not enough breeze coming in the windows to cool the rooms down. We were disappointed because the area was beautiful.

The house was not equipped with bbq ,a/c after a long day of activities came back to a oven house, had to buy fans because the ones they had didn’t work as well this property is not worth the 7,000 dollars I spent to bring my family there also we had to take the garbage cans out and do made work before we checked out.

Absolutely loved this property! Very clean and spacious home that comfortably accommodated my family of 4. The backyard and both patios served as a great reprieve from sun on the beach. Ocean views from second floor balcony and just steps from the beach which was wasn’t crowded at all-it felt like our own private oasis! Can’t wait to return!

Beautiful home that is steps from one of the most beautiful private beaches in Hawaii. It had an amazing back porch, grassy play area for our toddler grandson with beach toys included. Owner has thought of everything you need during your stay and even recommended restaurants and shopping. The cool ocean breeze off the water kept the home cool. You can see the water & beach from the upstairs lanai. We had an extraordinary week stay and will definitely be back again. We would highly recommend for a group/family stay.

We loved the historical nature of the house and the beach being so close. Unfortunately it wasn’t really well cared for. The beds and bedding were older and not very comfortable. The shower curtain was moldy and the pillows were old with some staining. There’s a big difference between a rental where they have thought about your comfort and go the extra mile and a rental like this that seems like an afterthought. I wouldn’t book this home again.

Randi S.6.0/10

This property is very close to the beach but it is not waterfront as the listing implies. There is a house being constructed in front of it that impedes the view. Also, the house is NOT air conditioned even though the amenities list says it is. There is 1 ac unit in the 1 upstairs bedroom but none of the common spaces nor the 2 downstairs BRs have A/C. The house needs updating. I expected a lot more given the cost.

This property was absolutely what our family wanted for our Hawaiian Vacation. The layout was perfect for our multigenerational family offering everyone from the oldest (72) to the youngest (10) plenty of space. The location to the beach, shops, and town was exactly what we wanted. The lack of AC throughout the house was a shock to the system, but only for a bit. The position of the house offers great breezes. I was even grabbing a sweater at nights by the end of the trip. The house is full of character and charm, which we absolutely loved. It was also well stocked with a lot of those essential items you don’t want to have to pack including blow dryer, flat iron, curling iron, plenty of beach towels/chairs/toys and more. Great water pressure and hot water for our large family. Quick, easy communications with the property manager. My only comment that is not a complaint would be that this house is a historical island home with a lot of those neat touches, but also quirks and difficulties. However, the notes around the house were so helpful when getting your bearings in a new place. We honestly can’t wait to return one day!

The property is a few steps from Kailua Beach, a 2.5-mile beach that, except for some weekend days, has very few people. Staying here is like staying on an outer island but with the conveniences of Honolulu when you want them. Great for long, peaceful beach walks. It is about 30 minutes from the airport. There are many nearby good restaurants for dine-in or take out. Grocery and other stores are convenient.

This house is beautiful and well maintained. It matched the description well, both as to the house and the location. The house is well supplied with everything needed for fun at the beach or for making dinner. The beds are comfortable, the tables and chairs are too. We loved being there and would be happy to come again. The host, Crystal, was quickly and completely responsive to the very minor issues we brought to her.

The location of the house is very close to the beautiful beach. The small town of Kailua offers all convenience and charm of living in a quiet, friendly seaside town. The hostess, Crystal, is very considerate and responsive. The property manager is also super helpful and friendly. Some minor issues with the appliances were addressed in a timely manner. We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful, well-appointed property. Helen
