About this property

E Komo Mai to Makapuʻu Hale — Your Oceanfront Hawaiian Escape

Literally oceanfront! Wake up to breathtaking Pacific Ocean views, fresh island breezes, and spectacular Hawaiian sunrises from your own private lanai.

Welcome to Makapuʻu Hale, a charming 2-bedroom, 2-bath oceanfront home in beautiful Waimānalo. Recently updated and thoughtfully decorated with comfortable beach-inspired furnishings, the home combines the relaxed feel of island living with the comforts of home.

The spacious, open-concept kitchen and living area offer stunning ocean views, while split A/C units and refreshing natural breezes keep the home comfortable. Step outside onto the large lanai and enjoy outdoor dining with sweeping views of the crystal-blue Pacific.

Unforgettable Ocean Views

From the lanai, take in spectacular views of seven Hawaiian islands and offshore islets, including Lānaʻi, Molokaʻi, Mānana (Rabbit Island), Kaohikaipu (Black Rock Island), the Mokulua Islands, and Moku Manu Island.

And the sunrises? Absolutely spectacular. Depending on the season and conditions, you can enjoy the beauty of a Hawaiian sunrise right from your own home.

Spend your days enjoying the beach—snorkeling, swimming, beachcombing, shell hunting, or simply relaxing in the sun. Afterward, rinse off in the outdoor hot-water shower before settling back into paradise.

Outdoor Island Living

The lush tropical yard is filled with swaying coconut palms, tropical flowers, native Hawaiian naupaka, and red ginger. Relax in a hammock, enjoy the swing, unwind in the hot tub, or simply sit back and listen to the ocean.

The large outdoor living area is perfect for enjoying meals, morning coffee, sunset drinks, or an evening under the stars.

A charcoal BBQ and complimentary bag of charcoal are provided for your outdoor cooking adventures.

Comforts of Home

We want you to feel comfortable throughout your stay, so Makapuʻu Hale includes:

2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms

Quality mattresses and high-thread-count cotton sheets

Fully equipped, recently updated kitchen

Split A/C units

Large oceanfront lanai

Outdoor hot-water shower

We had an amazing vacation staying here! The house is beautiful and had everything we needed for a great stay. We spent a lot of time in the yard, laying in the hammock and taking in the breathtaking views of the ocean. We spent a few days at the beach and the owner also had everything we needed including chairs, umbrella,cooler, sand toys, and body board! This truly was a dream vacation!

We recently stayed here with our two children as well as my parents and we all loved it! The house was very clean and very well stocked with things for us to use which was a big plus. We did a lot of snorkeling which was nice to just be able to jump in the water right at the house. We are already trying to plan our next trip that we can come back to this amazing house!

This property is beautiful! We wanted to stay away from the hustle of Honolulu and this location was perfect. Very quiet and peaceful and we were able to drive about 20 minutes to Kailua for restuarants, shopping, etc. I loved always being able to hear the ocean waves rolling in. We reached out with a question after check in and received a quick response. The beach in front of the property was very nice and I snorkeled out along the pier and saw some fish. Great stay!

What a wonderful getaway! Waking up hearing the sounds and smell of the ocean, being able to walk right out to the beach, going for an outrigger ride with Mike, going on nearby hikes, eating local food and staying in more of a real Hawaiian home are what made this experience special and hard to come by on Oahu. Thank you for making this possible!

This place is unbeatable! Best in the island! Super clean, comfortable, and ON the beach! Beach is super mellow! Perfect for little kids! The owner Mike lives next door. Super friendly local guy! Even gave us a ride on his boat! Trust me when I tell you if you’re coming to Oahu this is the spot/area you’ll want to be in! They don’t have the two twin beds pictured but they ARE in the living room up against two giants windows giving you top notch views during your stay!
