About this house rental
October 2024 updates: Newly constructed upstairs deck, Brand new window ac unit in master bedroom, new patio furniture, new sectional couch in living room.
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 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.

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!

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.

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.

This property is very close to the beach but it is not waterfront as the listing implies. There is a house being constructed in front of it that impedes the view. Also, the house is NOT air conditioned even though the amenities list says it is. There is 1 ac unit in the 1 upstairs bedroom but none of the common spaces nor the 2 downstairs BRs have A/C. The house needs updating. I expected a lot more given the cost.

This property was absolutely what our family wanted for our Hawaiian Vacation. The layout was perfect for our multigenerational family offering everyone from the oldest (72) to the youngest (10) plenty of space. The location to the beach, shops, and town was exactly what we wanted. The lack of AC throughout the house was a shock to the system, but only for a bit. The position of the house offers great breezes. I was even grabbing a sweater at nights by the end of the trip. The house is full of character and charm, which we absolutely loved. It was also well stocked with a lot of those essential items you don’t want to have to pack including blow dryer, flat iron, curling iron, plenty of beach towels/chairs/toys and more. Great water pressure and hot water for our large family. Quick, easy communications with the property manager. My only comment that is not a complaint would be that this house is a historical island home with a lot of those neat touches, but also quirks and difficulties. However, the notes around the house were so helpful when getting your bearings in a new place. We honestly can’t wait to return one day!

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.

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!

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!

Property was great. No driving to beach, we were there. Enjoyed sunrise every morning except one because of clouds. Would definitely stay here again

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.

The house is one house off the beach in a residential neighborhood. It was great to be able to walk to the beach every morning and afternoon. We were unaware that the refrigerator was not working so we bought groceries. There was a small college type refrigerator near the regular refrigerator. The next morning we realized that the regular refrigerator was not cold. Our host had sent us a message while we were flying but we didn’t see it, nor did she text me that information. She stated that someone who be in to fix it in a few days. Okay. The contractor came but did not fix it. It was inconvenient to try and keep all of our food in a college like refrigerator. We were told that the refrigerator had been having issues for weeks and the repairman had been out more than once. I have a friend on the island and asked if this was normal. I was told that it was Not normal and they could have easily replaced the refrigerator. When I asked to been credited for the food that we wasted and the fact that we had to eat out much more than planned for, I was told NO. I did like the house, but I am unhappy with the way I was treated regarding the refrigerator issue. The house was fine.

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.
5.0
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!

Our family is originally from Hawaii and visit as much as possible after moving to the mainland many years ago. Kailua Beach is our favorite beach and this home puts you a few short steps from the incredible beach. The most crowded time on the beach is 5:45am when many are walking the sands as the sun rises. Otherwise, you might have to share a quarter mile strip of sand with about 10 people. Kailua beach runs about 2.5 miles end to end. The popular beach park areas sits 1.5 miles from the sands backing up to this property.
We had all ages this trip (10 month old, 10 year old, teenager, and a few adults). Accommodations were great and as described. It's not new or flashy, but classic and beachy. Don't get hung up on the age of the furniture or cabinetry, sit on the deck and enjoy the ocean breeze. The convenience of ocean access is so nice. A/C in all the rooms would be a nice upgrade, but there's enough airflow to keep things comfortable.
Our Ohana loved the location and the house worked beautifully for relaxing and multiple trips each day to the beach. Highly recommend and we would love to come back!

The location of the house is very close to the beautiful beach. The small town of Kailua offers all convenience and charm of living in a quiet, friendly seaside town.
The hostess, Crystal, is very considerate and responsive. The property manager is also super helpful and friendly. Some minor issues with the appliances were addressed in a timely manner.
We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful, well-appointed property.

The house is old, but the age only adds charm to it. The only inconvenience we experienced was low water pressure in the shower downstairs. Proximity and easy access to the beach is definitely a plus. We enjoyed our vacation in this house.

We had a host cancel our reservation from another rental site 3 days before we were leaving for our trip, with no reason given. Needless to say, it created some panic. As it turned out, it was probably a blessing as this place had a last minute cancellation as well. This place was convenient to get to anywhere on the island, yet away from all the congestion around Honolulu/Waikiki. Being 200 ft from the beach was tremendous when having to pack up 7 people for the beach. Outdoor hot shower for washing sand off was great. Air conditioning is only a window unit in master bedroom as the description says, thus the rooms in the basement were extremely warm at all times. A number of fans were available and helped, but was still hot. For our first trip to Hawaii, it was nice having our own place and not having to get lost in the hustle and bustle of a hotel/resort. Overall, we were pleased with the amenities and location to everything.

The house was perfect for a friend/family gathering. We had plenty of room in the house and the yard was huge. The beach out back was quiet and the ocean was perfect amount of waves for all ages. We will be back

This Kailua house is beautiful and cared for in a loving and meticulous manner. The yard is beautiful with both ocean and mountain views; the house has antique hardwood features, comfortable beds, and is steps away from a beautiful beacch. Our family enjoyed our stay - there was plenty of room, toys for the kids and a warm outdoor shower. Beautiful all around.

This home is ideally located for those who want a great beach vacation. Just steps away from the beach - the best beach on Oahu I might add, with a relatively short walk to town if you are so inclined. Our family loved this home and we would definitely return.
4.0
Excellent location - easy access to beach; room outlay is very practical and homey.
Caveats:
- no investments in interior for a long time
- plumbing is not up to scratch - loose taps, water spillage, first floor bathroom - shower does not work
- very limited outside (porch and garden) furniture
- table on porch at the limit (rusty)
However: truly a paradise lime spot
Thanks

We enjoyed our stay. I personally enjoyed sitting on the deck taking evening pics with the moon in the palms and the moonlit water. I enjoyed walking to the white sand beach from the property and riding the waves. The house layout was great for us and the warm water outside shower was very nice. We are grateful for our time together.
5.0
The house & property were wonderful. It was a bit difficult to initially find the house, as you can’t see it from the street. Recommend that after reservation confirmation that directions say that the house is behind the house at 33 Pilipu Place.
I was sad to see a house being built just past this house that will almost obstruct the ocean view that was so beautiful. Truly a shame.
The price was appropriate for the location and condition of the house. The deck may need to be renovated shortly.

This home is set up well for a family. 2 bedrooms and large bathroom on the first floor and master upstairs. So close to the beach, it was an easy walk. Everyone I dealt with was so helpful. Wonderful experience for our family of 6 adults and 1 two year old.

This is a beautiful old home and perfectly laid out for our purposes as a family reconnecting to bring a loved one home. It's a very short walk down a sandy right-of-way to one of the most beautiful beaches on the islands at Kailua beach.

This was our second time to stay in Kailua . This home ‘s location and ease of access to the beach was as promised . Travelled with Mom , husband and two Friends and the home was great. The kitchen was fully equipped and the long walk into town was just the right amount . Looking forward to coming back :)

Property was a historic residence so that is what you get; a little dated but charming feel to it. The only thing I would say about the property is that I had the impression it was on the beach based on the photo, which it isn't. A little deceiving but I don't think you will be disappointed. Just a short walk to the beach. They are currently building a residence so in time, the ocean view will be more obstsructed. House does not have air; only a window unit in the bedroom on the main living area. But that might be most houses in Hawaii, it was just a little uncomfortable sleeping if you are used to air.
