Rental Details
Property Overview
This restored 1948 mid-century ranch home in Aina Haina is a private "local-style" Oahu retreat at the base of the valley, perfectly positioned for exploring both Honolulu and East Oahu while living away from the crowds. Inside, a top-to-bottom renovation (completed December 2019) blends vintage Hawaiian charm with high-end upgrades, including a custom Henrybuilt kitchen with Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, spa-like tiled baths, and generous indoor-outdoor living that catches the trade winds. Outside, unwind in a fully enclosed, landscaped oasis with a saltwater pool, new lanai spaces, and a separate pool house featuring its own sleeping area, bathroom, and outdoor kitchen. Eco-conscious and solar-powered, the home offers A/C in the pool house and primary bedroom, plus breezy open design and fans elsewhere. This Oahu vacation home is available as a legal 30-night minimum rental for longer island stays.
Get away from typical tourist rentals and stay in this renovated and fully restored mid-century ranch-style Hawaiian home that harkens back to another era. Originally built in 1948, this home is situated at the base of the Aina Haina valley, a neighborhood that has been coveted for generations by local families for its location, safety and convenience. Our little valley is just 20 minutes from the airport, and once you’re here, all of Honolulu and East Oahu are yours to explore. From our doorstep you’re less than 10 minutes to Diamond Head. A 15 minute drive gets to you to Waikiki, and less than 20 minutes to historic chinatown. In our home you can enjoy the best of both worlds: exploring all the sun, surf and outdoor activities of Hawaii during the day, and all the cultural and culinary experiences afforded you by being so close to the center of Honolulu.
But that is only half the story! In the other direction we are just minutes away from Hawaii Kai, where you can stop for a shave ice on your way home from visiting Koko Head, or snorkeling at Hanauma Bay. Explore just a little further down the road and you can drive the dramatic Ka’iwi coast: home to great hiking trails and some of the most striking Hawaii coastline. East Oahu is also famous for some of the most beautiful beaches on Oahu including: Eternity beach, Sandy’s, Makapu’u, and Waimanalo beach park.
But the best part of your day (when you’re done hiking, swimming or exploring) is the time you will spend with friends and family away from the crowds in your own urban oasis. While the home is near a busy street, you will find that the property is totally enclosed and very private, surrounded by beautiful landscaping. Step inside and enjoy the gracious indoor and outdoor spaces that allow the cooling trade winds to flow through its open ranch style design. Relax on the lanai, or sit by the pool and watch the clouds float over the Ko’olau mountains in the back of the valley.
The home has been owned by the same local family for four generations and has recently undergone a top to bottom renovation, completed in December 2019.
It includes the addition of an architecturally designed pool house and saltwater pool with its own sleeping area, separate bathroom and outdoor kitchen as well as a new front lanai, a custom designed Henrybuilt kitchen and bar area with SubZero and Wolf appliances and custom Heath Ceramics tile in every bathroom. The back patio accommodates outdoor dining for 8.
We're an eco-conscious home and 100% of the electricity comes from solar power (with a net-zero carbon footprint). The home renovations were designed to allow for maximum air flow, natural cooling and conscious power consumption.
The pool house and master bedroom of the main house are air conditioned and while the rest of the main house does not have AC, the open design and overhead fans keep the house cool, allowing the ocean air, Tahitian gardenia, and night blooming jasmine to waft through the home.
Our COVID-19 cleaning protocols include professional cleaning and disinfection.

We (all seven of us) absolutely loved our stay at this property. The history, cleanliness, amenities, etc, were all top notch. The only recommendation that I would make is to have a folding room divider as a "privacy shield" for the pool house. Nothing huge. Any time we needed help, the care taker was super helpful and responsive. When we come back to Oahu, this will be the place we stay at for sure. Highly recommend. Oh, and keep your head on a swivel when backing out of the carport. Can get a bit tricky! Love this place!!!Mahalo!!
House has outstanding kitchen/household amenities; we wanted for nothing preparing meals & feeling at home for our large family. Communication was prompt, easy, & helpful the entire stay & super accommodating! Great place!
Most of our family stayed at this beautiful house in order to be together around the time of our grandson’s wedding. His bride was born in Owahu so we were able to spend time with her family. Nicole and Britt were readily available if we needed anything or had questions about the house. The house was large enough so that there were spaces to enjoy the property without being in each other’s way. The lanai was a favorite meeting place for meals and socializing. Although it was in a noisy neighborhood, we got used to it and the 2 air conditioned bedrooms were quiet at night. It was a lovely setting for pictures of us getting ready for the wedding and family photos.
Very nice house plenty of room for our family of 6 very clean caretaker was always available for questions or would come over if needed. also had everything you would want for day at beach.
Had a great time. Close to beaches and stores.
Pictures and words don't do this property justice. I highly recommend that any families looking for a great house book this place immediately. The owner and property manager were botb amazing before and during the stay. There were 8 of us staying here, but the house is so spacious and accommodating that we never felt on top of each other. The location is perfect for making day trips, close to multiple shopping centers, and easy to access. We've come to Oahu multiple times, stayed at resorts on the beach but this was by far the best place we've stayed at! A hui hou!
other than the washer and dryer having issues, the property was AMAZING! excellent location, close to everything one needs during their stay and with a short walk you're on the beach. Just an incredible find.
My family and I loved everything about this property and location and the hosts couldn't have been more helpful along the way. Great kitchen appliances to cook our own meals and a convenient location for nearby shops and to go downtown for dinners. Friendly neighborhood as well as it was easy to go for runs nearby each morning. Thanks again for the hospitality.
Fabulous house with everything you need or want in a vacation home! Charming mid century home designed exquisitely. Great hangout space for all of us, on the patio, around the pool, we all felt very comfortable. An added bonus was the well equipped kitchen, and top of the line appliances. Nicole and Brittany were very welcoming and responsive to any questions we had, and offered us many recommendations for dining and best beaches. Book your stay now!!!
Do not hesitate to book this as your vacation home away from home. This house has all the amenities. An indoor kitchen, an outdoor kitchen, and wet bar. This is one of the most well appointed homes I've booked. The kitchen had everything we needed to really feel like we could settle into the house. I'm talking about so many kitchen appliances, utensils, seasoning and spices. Considering how tight space is in Hawaii. This house is a real gem. The number of bedrooms, bathrooms, inside and outside seating space, the pool, and surrounding greenery combined in one property are rare. The rooms are all a good size. You could easily have 8 people in the house and not feel on top of each other. There is a valid point that this house is right off of a major street and you can hear the traffic noises but you have to keep in mind that this house has unparalleled amenities, space, and is in a pretty central and convenient area of Oahu. It's all about location. The landscaping blocks the street view and while there you feel like you're in your own oasis. The owner and property manager are friendly, caring, and accessible. They consistently check in with you to see how the stay is going and if there is anything that you need. There were 7 of us who came from different countries and places in the U.S. ages ranging from 20 to 70 years old. We stayed for 10 nights. Everyone loved the house and enjoyed their stay here. This house is so worth it
