Welcome to your private Diamond Head hideaway — a tranquil, tropical retreat tucked into one of Honolulu’s most iconic neighborhoods.

The home sits on terraced grounds with a private entrance and steps walkway descending through lush landscaping, flowering plants, and mature trees. This rare estate‑style setting offers complete privacy while still being walkable to Waikiki’s beaches, dining, and attractions.

Inside, the home features a well‑equipped gourmet kitchen with slate countertops, a gas stove, and full appliances. Outdoor living is a highlight here: shaded lanais, stone patios, hideaway terrace, teak furniture, and soft evening lighting create the perfect atmosphere for morning coffee, relaxed BBQs, or romantic outdoor dining.

You’ll be surrounded by tropical greenery and the sounds of island birds throughout the day — a peaceful, inspiring environment that past guests have loved for writing, creative work, and quiet relaxation.

Great property. Owner was easy to work with and always available and very friendly and responsive.

We adored the peaceful, secluded terrace of this lovely property nestled at the base of Diamond Head, surrounded by lush tropical greenery. The tranquility and soothing bird sounds were a perfect contrast to the vibrant Waikiki, just a short distance away. The property was well-equipped, leaving us wanting for nothing. While we did notice a slightly musty smell from the washing machine and dishwasher, we would still highly recommend this property to family and friends. The overall experience was fantastic, and we can't wait to return.

We loved staying in this quiet, beautiful and peaceful place close to the ocean. We walked right down to the beach and were also able to walk right into Waikiki. We would definitely stay here again!

The house was awesome, location seemed like a tropical paradise. The various seating areas are very quiet and relaxing. The house is relatively close to several popular tourist locations and easy to get around.

At the foot of Diamond Head within the nature preserve, this is truly a slice of paradise. At the beach all day we came back to a variety of plants, trees, birds, the occasional Bufo Toad and more. Very relaxing.

We enjoyed our stay. Excellent location - we were able to walk to Waikiki and there are a couple of smaller beaches within walking distance. We also enjoyed the gated parking as we had a car. Would recommend this wonderful cottage.

We had a great time and loved listening to the birds each morning. It's close enough to walk a few places and we felt safe and comfortable. The gardens around the house are incredible!

This is an incredible property right in the middle of everything but feels millions of miles away. Well stocked with beach towels, linens, beach toys, and everything a family could need for an escape to Hawaii. The downstairs "outdoor" shower was particularly enjoyable. I hope we can book again for our next Hawaii excursion.

My family and I stayed at this beautiful VRBO for 9 nights over the Christmas holidays. It did not disappoint! It felt like we were living in a tree house in the middle of a jungle. The birds sung to us in the morning and the trade winds kept us cool in the evening. The beaches were close by and within walking distance. Overall, I would highly recommend this VRBO to anyone with families numbering 3 to 6.
