Heavenly Hawaii at your feet! Sandy toes, great swimming, lovely place awaits.

E Komo Mai (Welcome to my home). As your host and a thirty-three year resident of Oahu, I offer you the best of my experience and love of the islands. Let me share my fondness of Hawaii with you.

Perfect for your 180+ day immerse-yourself-in-Hawaii study or work get away!
Whether single, a couple, or family near a great beach in a cherished part of "the Gathering Place" of Hawaii. Allow yourself the luxury of a perfect Hawaiian place nestled in a charming neighborhood between access to the outside world and the most delicious white sand beach that your toes will ever sink into. Just a few short steps from our home on our beach lane and you will find yourself transported to an ocean world free of care in God's wonderful ocean. A coral reef protects the shoreline so that gentle waves lap at your feet. As you stroll past the calm waters and the natural tidal pool, fondly known as "alligator pond" you will have access to deeper water and larger waves for the more adventurous swimmer.

I will do my best to guide you from the best local entertainment, ie. the Polynesian Cultural Center (1.75 miles away), to sightseeing, surfing activities, fine dining, Turtle Bay Resort, and more.

Located just 31.5 miles from the airport and a mostly shoreline view drive, the turquoise waters will follow and welcome as you approach your destination. Your private suite entrance opens to a spacious 20 by 30 living area opening to a lovely lanai (patio) garden. The exquisitely appointed classic Hawaiian decor with its open room allows for a feeling of freedom and relaxed flow. The suite has a large comfortable sleeping area with king bed separates from the main living area. Included are four twin beds in the main living area to accommodate up to a total of six + in the main suite. The bedroom is perfect for study or separate seclusion. If the 'simple life' is more to your taste, waken in the morning to the songs of Hawaiian doves playing in our Norfolk pine and 3 palms. Or listen for the soft whispering of the surf in the late evening as you stroll to the water for a tidal pool swim. You may never want to leave.

If you need time to explore Hawaiian life as you contemplate an eventual move to Hawaii, whether for business or pleasure, you will have it. You can stay for as long as you wish. Kent is a Real Estate Broker and can help you find a home to meet your needs. I will gladly help in everyway possible.

My fondest Aloha!

Perfect location

This was the perfect location for a family trip. We were able to do many activities around Laie, and the north shore. We snorkled at Turtle Bay, Sharks Cove, and right at the beach down the street. Kent was a great host and very helpful. Would stay here again if I were traveling to Hawaii again.

Aloha Spirit, Impeccable Accommodations in a Perfect Location!

Our family had an incredible time, the accommodations were perfect for us and our family. Great location to so many things we were wanting, as well as steps away from an excellent beach for the family. Our kids said their beach was one of the best we saw! Our hosts were exceptional! Brava! We will come back again! For sure! Thanks!

We loved our stay!

My family of 4 stayed at Lani and Kent's place for 5 nights. Last time when we visited Oahu, we stayed on the northwest side where there aren't that many places to see so we chose Lani and Kent's place this time with 5 star reviews and location. We were right about the location. It was located conveniently to suit my family's needs. Like everybody said, grocery store was so close so you can literally walk to it and many other places my family wanted to visit were close enough like North Shore and other east side places. We especially liked that we could walk to the beach which was quiet and peaceful and the outside shower in the lanai that we can use to wash off sand from the beach. It even had hot water. We will definitely stay again if we chose northwest side. Highly recommend!

Great location for laid-back vacationing in Oahu

Considering the VRBO website-recommended questions: Was the listing description accurate regarding the location? Yes Did the listing photos accurately reflect the rental's appearance and amenities? The interior photos of the apartment are very accurate. However, I wish there were photos online of the studio area, just to get an idea of what it's like. It is a very spacious studio, nicely appointed. I wouldn't want to rent that on its own, though, unless planning on a hotel-like experience.The exterior photos are a little misleading (not intentionally I'm sure), as we didn't understand that you are actually in the same house as the renter. The exterior photos show the front door to the landlord's home, not the entrances to the side doors where you go into the apt. or studio. If you rent the studio, you are right next to the living area of the landlord. Was the property clean and well-maintained? Yes, everything was clean and well maintained, as expected. Our only complaint was that the owner's dogs were often chasing our kids outside and the dogs defacated on the patio several times, which made it hard to let the kids run around out there. However, we really enjoyed having a hammock to relax in, as well as the outdoor shower to clean off after the beach. The yard and patio are really nice and spacious. You do share the yard with the owners. Was the owner helpful? Absolutely. She was very willing to answer any questions ahead of time and was easily accessible with any concerns. Bonus to being next door. Would you recommend this property? Yes. Other recommendations and notes: We really enjoyed being on the North Shore of Oahu. It's so much more easy-going and slower-paced on this side of the island. The house was a good fit for our family vacation with grandparents in tow. We rented out the apartment and studio and had lots of room to sprawl out. The laundry amenity was a huge bonus that we used a lot. The kitchen is very well stocked, making it easy to cook at home. The beach down the lane has a nice tidepool for the kids to play in--at high tide you can swim in the pool. Walk down the beach a little ways and you'll find waves enough to boogie board, as well as a few rope swings. A great beach for our morning walks and runs. Super close to the PCC, close enough to all North Shore activities, a bit far from Honolulu--but totally worth it so you can steer clear of the traffic, parking issues, and the other negatives of the city. Great value here too!

Perfect Northshore Studio

Our family loved the time we spent at Kents place on the north shore of Oahu. It’s about a 50yd walk from the beach and nearby to local stores. Kent and his wife were very welcoming and happy to give advice on places to check out. Would HIGHLY recommend!

Home away from home

Very lucky to find this rare of a gem. The value of this place what it can offer was hard to find. Kent made sure you have everything you need to make your vacation as comfortable and as fun as you can you have. Beach chairs and body boards and other beach accessories that you might need are provided. It is less than a minute walk to a beautiful almost secluded beach that offers this amazing sunrises and sunsets. Very close to Polynesian Cultural Center if you want to experience, learn the Hawaiian history and it’s hard to beat Luau and Ha Breath of life Show (it’s a must and book early). If you’re in for an adventure kayak and hike to the top of China Man’s Hat, from there you have this jaw dropping view of the Koolau mountains. Kent’s place is not far from North Shore’s famous beaches. It’s very close to local eateries and food trucks. Kent is a very accommodating host, made us feel it’s our home away from home. We were disappointed that his place was not available for an extended stay. It mets all the check lists and beyond that my family needed for an excellent vacation. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you Kent.

Just what we needed

Kent was so inviting and helpful. The property was perfect for our needs; everything we needed was provided. Probably the part we liked best was its location so close to the beach. We enjoyed several beautiful sunrises. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to stay close to North Shore and away from the crowds of Honolulu/Waikiki.

Walk to the beach!

Overall we enjoyed our stay at Kent's place. Kent is a very nice guy and was always friendly when we chatted with him. The best part of the house is that it is only a few hundred feet from the beach! It was essential to us to have a washer, dryer and refrigerator, which this house did have. We loved the short distance to the North Shore, which was where we spent much of our time. Overall, this house worked well, as we were only there to sleep and for quick breakfasts in the morning.

Happy in Hauula, Hawaii

The property was exactly as presented in the listing and pictures. Comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. It was nice to be able to cook for ourselves in the kitchen and do laundry. The backyard was a nice reprieve, though the patio furniture needs some TLC. Not only is it steps from the beach, it is also just a short drive from the Polynesian Cultural Center, which we highly recommend! We easily drove to the North Shore and took in the breathtaking views along the way. Kent was super helpful with restaurant and grocery store directions. Overall, we absolutely loved our time and are very grateful for the experience.

Wonderful Stay

Our stay at Kent's home was wonderful. It was everything we expected and more. We enjoyed the boogie boards, beach chairs, beach towels and more that was provided by Kent for our use during our stay. Kent was easy to reach if we had any questions and was so much help. We loved the access to the beach just at the end of the street. The neighbors were noisy at times, but it only bothered us one night when we were in bed and they were will loud at midnight during the weekend. We didn't say anything, since we knew they were having a birthday party. The home was clean, and had everything we needed. We would recommend Kent's place to everyone!! It was also such a great price!! We looked at many locations and nothing compared to this one, and I think for being one of the best priced we couldn't have asked for anything better! Thank you Kent for your wonderful hospitality. Mahalo!

A marvelous experience

This was a wonderful place to stay with the family for our week’s vacation. The rental has a fully equipped kitchen, access to beach chairs and boogie boards, full laundry, very comfortable beds, beach access at the end of the short road, quiet street, access to grocery shopping, and plenty of space! We are a family of 7 adults sharing the space and were not crowded. Additionally, we had friends over and it was quite comfortable . The rental is a studio but, as previously stated, “if you like each other, it’s no problem.” Kent is a delightful host, responsive to anything that comes up, and it was a pleasure to be a guest on his property. The island is starting to open up with larger venues being open in the next month. We are a little disappointed to miss these events. Even so, we were able to travel around the island and enjoy many outdoor adventures.... paddle boarding, snorkeling, lots of beaches and hiking. Our main purpose was our daughter’s wedding and getting to know our new son-in-law and his family . Mission accomplished!
