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 ...

We had the best time in Hawaii, largely in part because of how amazing this house was. Because we traveled with a 3 month old + 3 year old, having a home that could accommodate the needs of our family was super important. Having the grass for my 3 year old to run around on, the separate kitchen to make bottles in the night, and pool house for space/a break was so incredibly helpful! Nicole and her house manager, Britt, were so responsive and genuinely cared that we were comfortable and having a great time. Everything was so clean and tidy + the house was just beautiful beyond words. Can’t wait to stay again!

This was one of our top 10 vacations, and it had to do with this beautiful house. This home is beautifully designed and decorated. We had five adults in our party and the way the home is set up there was plenty of privacy for all of us. There were lots of places to gather to talk and play games. The pool is refreshing . We used it every day. Only two of the bedrooms are air-conditioned but with plenty of fans we found the house very comfortable. The only place where the house got overheated was in the main kitchen. Above the kitchen island is a skylight that tended to concentrate the heat. The host was prompt with any of our questions, and after we left, we continued to talk about the history of the house, and the beautiful workmanship and art on the walls. It was an easy walk to the grocery store, and the home is in a clean, safe neighborhood. We will definitely rent again when we come back!

This place is perfect when you need a bit of space (work, exercise ecc). It has a very nice manicured garden and a great swimming pool. The house has literally everything you need. Well placed to drive to great beaches or to Honolulu for a drink or dinner. The host and the young couple taking care of the house are exceptional and super helpful. The only downside for us was the proximity to a multi lane road next to the house. Not a big problem unless there are police or ambulance siren sounds. We will come back for sure.

Beautifully decorated house with all the essentials, art works, beach gear, and more. We were pleasantly surprised with the snacks, bottle of wine, and all the fresh fruit that we enjoyed during our stay. Very thoughtful. There was some road noise since it’s next to a major street but we quickly got used to it. We spent every meal outside on the patio. Would love to come back!

The photos do not do this place justice!! We were all amazed and in shock by the beauty of Nicole’s home. Everything was very clean, tidy, and well equipped. Toa showed us around and was nothing but amazing and very friendly when going through the home walkthrough with us. Nicole and Brittney were very quick to answer any of my questions. We rented this place for our wedding and they were very accommodating to our requests and even offered us a late check out time! There is also ample parking and the neighborhood is very nice, quiet, and convenient (close to Waikiki and the airport). I would highly recommend staying here!!

This house is lovely and so functional. It was a treat to experience living in this home with such lovely decor and comfort. There is not much missing to be able to function seamlessly. Our only negative is that a six lane highway is on the other side of the wall built around the property so there is constant noise from traffic.

Beautiful home for the week! My family and I truly enjoyed staying in this home away from home. We hope to be able to stay again in the future. The home is spotless with high end appliance. It is very spacious, with lots of options to enjoy indoor and outdoor space. The location was central location without being too close to Waikiki. Nicole and her team were great hosts!

Exactly as advertised. Recommend you bring ear plugs if you are not used to traffic noise. Beautiful and comfortable home. Pool was awesome, could easily accommodate 10 people.
