Our beach estate is located on over an acre of land, just one house back (a quick 30 second walk down a sandy beach path) to one of the best white sand beaches in Hawaii. This is the only beach in Hawaii to consistently show up as one of the top ten beaches in the world lists. Unlike most beaches in Hawaii our beach is mostly free of tourists so you can actually have space and relax. On weekdays you will virtually have the entire beach to yourself!
Our 2200 sq foot home neighbors some of the finest properties on Oahu, just doors down from where the Obama family stays when they come to Hawaii. One of the very few properties that is actually a LEGAL vacation rental and has been since the early 90's, so you can be assured that your rental will be available when you arrive!
Our property offers the utmost relaxation and tranquility. Feel the white sand between your toes, bask in the warm Hawaiian sun, dive into the crystal clear aqua waters, and be glad you've made the best choice for your Hawaiian vacation!
Our two story house offers Ocean and Mountain Views, one house back from Kailua beach, 30 second walk down a sandy beach path. We are also just about a 5 mine drive to the famous Lanikai Beach. Escape to Kailua, a small beach town located just 20 minutes from Honolulu and Waikiki, truly away from it all!
Our home features high speed wireless internet, two flat screen tvs, Hawaiian koa wood cabinets, marble, and crown molding, modeled after the historic residence next door. There is a NEW window A/C unit in the master bedroom (it's the only bedroom that has ac as it doesn't face the ocean) and screens on all windows and fans throughout the house.
There are two large lanais one upstairs (with ocean and mountain views) and one downstairs. Brand new deck as of October 2024. The house is situated on an acre of land with lush landscaping, allowing ample room to lay out in the Hawaiian sun or let the kids play. The yard has beautiful plumeria trees, red hibiscus bushes, orchids, and of course, a coconut grove.
The house has one King bed, two queen beds and two twin beds. We also provide a pack n play if needed. It has two full bathrooms, one with a tub/shower combo the other with a walk in shower. The master bedroom (king bed and a twin) and one full bathroom are located upstairs where the kitchen, dining room and living room are. The other two bedrooms and second bathroom are located on the first floor. The second bedroom has a queen bed and the third bedroom has a queen and a twin.
The kitchen is stocked with everything you need to cook. It has a full sized oven, four burner cooktop, refrigerator/freezer, microwave, dishwasher, toaster and coffee maker. The kitchen has four barstools, perfect for hanging out while meals are prepared or for casual breakfasts. The dining room table seats six and there is also an outdoor patio set complete with tables and chairs with an ocean view. New sectional couch in living room.
A full sized washer and dryer are located inside the house for your convenience as well.
We have one security camera located outside to the left of the front door that monitors the driveway to ensure guest and property safety.

The property is beautiful with amazing beach access. We loved Kailua and made amazing family memories. Found so many fantastic things to do and being in Kailua made everything so convenient.
We are a family of 6, all adults and loved staying here. Beautiful place with lots of space to relax and enjoy Hawaii life. HIGHLY recommend! Our host, Crystal
My family and I really enjoyed our stay here. The property location was perfect! It is just steps from the beach. It is also very close to Kailua Town with lots of spots to eat and shop. We would definitely recommend it and would stay here again!
We stayed a week, was on the road everyday but one seeing the sites of the Island. Great beach time, very close to the ocean. What a lovely location. We will be back again.
The house is spacious, clean and right next to the beach. The beach is secluded and quiet. The amenities are all you need for a family vacation. I'll recommend this place all day!
Absolutely loved this property! Very clean and spacious home that comfortably accommodated my family of 4. The backyard and both patios served as a great reprieve from sun on the beach. Ocean views from second floor balcony and just steps from the beach which was wasn’t crowded at all-it felt like our own private oasis! Can’t wait to return!
checkin process was simple and efficient house was totally ready for us. When we arrived. Communication with the property owner was timely. The home itself is a lovely historic property near the ocean with easy beach access. We actually left some prescription glasses at the home which they are sending to us thankfully. All in all, we really enjoyed our week in Kailua.

We three couples traveled to Oahu to attend a wedding in Kailua. We wanted a comfortable beach house to enjoy beautiful Kailua Beach and unwind around wedding events and some golf. This house was the perfect choice. The interior is older but clean and nicely maintained. Everything functioned as it should. The new deck is spacious and attractive. We spent cocktail hours reviewing the day and enjoying the wonderful breezes. The sea breeze provided ample air circulation and we all slept very comfortably. I highly recommend this delightful house for its comfort, proximity to the beach and Kailua restaurants and shopping, and responsive owner.
The property is a few steps from Kailua Beach, a 2.5-mile beach that, except for some weekend days, has very few people. Staying here is like staying on an outer island but with the conveniences of Honolulu when you want them. Great for long, peaceful beach walks.
It is about 30 minutes from the airport. There are many nearby good restaurants for dine-in or take out. Grocery and other stores are convenient.

On the surface the property was nice but between mildew on bed pillows, late responses to outside lighting issues, not enough trash bags for kitchen, lack of patio furniture for lounging, extensive dust in primary bedroom as well as dirty/worn chairs in bedrooms, pack and play mildewed…the location was conveniently located to beach area and outdoor shower made cleanup easy…
This house is beautiful and well maintained. It matched the description well, both as to the house and the location. The house is well supplied with everything needed for fun at the beach or for making dinner. The beds are comfortable, the tables and chairs are too. We loved being there and would be happy to come again. The host, Crystal, was quickly and completely responsive to the very minor issues we brought to her.
Beautiful home that is steps from one of the most beautiful private beaches in Hawaii. It had an amazing back porch, grassy play area for our toddler grandson with beach toys included. Owner has thought of everything you need during your stay and even recommended restaurants and shopping. The cool ocean breeze off the water kept the home cool. You can see the water & beach from the upstairs lanai. We had an extraordinary week stay and will definitely be back again. We would highly recommend for a group/family stay.
Host was excellent with responses and clearly conveying expectations. Property was very pretty and along the beach access our daughter normally uses to get to the beach. Kitchen well accessorized with cooking needs, spices, etc. Our space was shared by family of 2 older adults and 2 younger adults. Stayed for a week of enjoyment, both before and after the wedding.
We could not have had a better stay! We had a toddler with us, and having the flexibility to walk back and forth to the beach whenever we wanted was incredible. The house was exactly what we were looking for - clean, comfortable, so convenient to the beach and to Kailua and beyond. It was well-stocked with everything we needed...plenty of beach towels, beach toys, well-stocked kitchen. And the views!!! We loved sitting around the table on the deck watching the sunrise or the stars. Perfect place to just hang out together. Hopefully we will make it back someday...
Mahalo Crystal and family for everything!
Nice older house at a place just about on the sand...one house back
Enjoyed this property located a minute walk across to the ocean. Nice quaint little relaxed town. The house could use a deep cleaning, the kitchen counter needs replaced as it's stained (Soaftsoap could fix that) but there's a horrible burn spot under the toaster, and the upper deck needs to be strengthened. It's very unsteady and weak. All in all it's a nice place to stay while on vacation. If you can get past the minor imperfections it's well worth the visit.
We loved the historical nature of the house and the beach being so close. Unfortunately it wasn’t really well cared for. The beds and bedding were older and not very comfortable. The shower curtain was moldy and the pillows were old with some staining. There’s a big difference between a rental where they have thought about your comfort and go the extra mile and a rental like this that seems like an afterthought. I wouldn’t book this home again.
