About this house rental
Set on the slopes of Koko Kai, this spacious, two-story, family-style home offers panoramic ocean views and breathtaking sunset over Diamond Head. Decorated with a touch of island decor, this villa is perfect for indoor/outdoor living. The large full kitchen, two living room areas, and large lanais provide plenty of room for families and friends to relax.
Enjoy a swim in the private, solar-heated swimming pool after a day at the beach. Watch all the water activities at Maunalua Bay. And if you're lucky, you may spot a few whales during their season.
The magical night lights which grace the nearby hillside, with the moon and stars, totally change Hale Ohana's ambiance.
Nearby beaches include Portlock (five minutes away), and Hanauma Bay and Sandy Beach (both about five to eight minutes away). Hale Ohana offers the best of both worlds: privacy, great family accommodations -- and, of course, convenience with Waikiki only 20 minutes away. Hawaii Kai offers great entertainment and dining, lots of shopping, close by beaches.

This was our first trip to Oahu. We were a multi-generational party of 9. This house was perfect for us!! Lots of room to spread out and great gathering spots on the deck and large dining room. We often toured or beached it up until late afternoon and then would retreat back to the beautiful pool setting. The view from this house is spectacular! Close to beaches, shops, groceries, and snorkeling. So happy we found such a gem! Eva was wonderful to work with and the check-in and check-out process was easy. Highly recommend this property.

We had a great time staying at the house. The location and the house were perfect. Great communication with the owner. We would definitely come back.

This house was incredible for our family vacation. There were 8 of us with kids and grandkids and everyone had the best time. Eva was so quick to respond to any question I had. This was only my second VRBO so I probably asked more questions than she was used to. We LOVED the quiet neighborhood and streets. Once we got two cars to the carport, our kids had a great time trying to out-do each other with number of turns to turn the cars around. The pool was a dream and an absolute must I didn't know we needed. Lots of open windows for breezes. We were so appreciative, we tried to do more than needed before leaving. Can't recommend it enough!

Great property. Very clean, even suppied a fresh fruit bowl, shampoo, soap, everything you would need. Highly recommend this property. Would definitely stay here again

This spacious home was perfect for our family. Everyone had space to spread out and be comfortable. We loved the many patios and the pool. The home had all the amenities we needed for our stay.
We also loved the location. It was near everything without being in the middle of Honolulu.
One caution is that there are a lot of stairs. If you have an active toddler, be prepared to do a lot of climbing! I'm pretty sure this is mentioned in the property description but wanted to mention it again for those of you traveling with young ones!

House looked better in person than in photos and was very clean with an accurate description. Although, the air conditioning unit in the Master BR did not work. Ran out of toilet paper and paper towel in the six day stay. Fresh fruit and macadamia nuts were a pleasant surprise in the dining room. We enjoyed fruit smoothies one morning. Kitchen was fully stocked with all small appliances.

I booked this house for me and my 4 friends. The plan was to come to Hawaii and and just enjoy the weather. This house was perfect for that. Easy to check in , close to everything you want, restaurants, stores and the beach is no more than a five minute drive. The views from the pool are fantastic (sunsets). I would stay here again . Safe neighborhood, located on the hill gets you a very nice breeze all day everyday. It’s better than the pictures can show you.

Views of Hawaii Kai and sunsets from every lanai are breathtaking. House contained all the amenities that a family could want and then some! Eva was a joy to work with and helpful with local business recommendations. We would definitely book with her again and recommend her highly to friends and others who need a place to call home for their stay on Oahu. So many beautiful memories made.

This property has the best views of Hawaii Kai. Great location to boot. Koko Head trail, Blow Hole, and Sandy Beach. Close to a Leonard's is a plus. Waikiki and Ala Moana are close by if you like that type of vibe. Also close to Makapu'u Point, Sea Life Park, and Waimanalo Beach.

Had the best time.....this house has EVERYTHING you can possibly need. It is in a nice, quiet neighborhood, plenty of parking and a beautiful view to wake up to every morning. Had been given the wrong lockbox code for check in, but after a call to Julie it was resolved. Would DEFINITELY recommend this house to anyone with a large number of people travelling (we had 9 people and everyone had a comfortable bed to sleep in). A great place to celebrate our daughter's graduation from UH Manoa.

This place has an amazing view of the ocean and surrounding area. Very interesting view of Koko head’s trail, you can see the entire length of it! The house is very clean, and the pool is nice. The hosts also had excellent communication and we all enjoyed our stay very much. Definitely would recommend.

beautiful property
This property exceded my expectations. The view was amazing! Beds were comfortable. Everything we could have possibly needed was available to us. We felt so at home. The cleanliness of the house was immaculate. There are only 2 minor negatives I could say. one is the driveway. very steep but to get the view I suppose it is necessary. 2. This house is not very handicap or senior friendly. there are tons of stairs..but we got through it! The benefits far out weighed the negative. Host was very promp with answering questions and was very accommodating.

Fantastic views!
Beautiful home with incredible views. Great location! Eva, the property manager was a pleasure to work with. The only minor con is that steep driveway but needed for the views. Overall a wonderful experience!

Great host, beautiful views
Eva is an amazing host. She is responsive and helpful and keeps the house very organized. The property is just gorgeous, with amazing views. It is well-stocked, with a good pool and barbecue area, and a lot of common, outdoor spaces. It was very well-priced for property.
The location was good for us, because we were there for family events taking place on the south side of O'ahu. If you like to go into Waikiki, it is a little far and the highway can get bad traffic.
You do get a really nice breeze, which is good because the house can get hot. We kept the windows open all the time.
A couple of things that we wished we had appreciated before we came: the house is on a VERY steep hill, with only room to park two cars at the top. You will be walking up and down a steep driveway, even for simple things like taking out the trash. Because it is on a hillside, there is also no yard, but there is a concrete pool deck. Also, one of the 'bedrooms' is not really a bedroom. It's a family room with two twin beds and a sleeper sofa. The people in that room will have no privacy because you must walk through it to get to the two back bedrooms.
Finally, the house is in need of a little updating. It's not falling apart, just dated. That's probably what keeps the price such a good value.

We had a great time at the Hale Ohana property. The house was comfortable and spacious. The location was perfect - the house is located on a quiet residential street. The view was amazing and we liked being on this side of the island. So happy to have use of a pool after a day of sightseeing. Eva was extremely responsive and was great about answering questions before arrival and during our stay.
She had a welcome package that was very thoughtful and appreciated. It included many different types of fruit, chips, candy and nuts. There were plenty of beach towels for our group of 8 adults and an infant.
The house itself was bigger than expected, leaving room for everyone to have their own space. The home was close to a lot of good restaurants. We woke up early many mornings and took a short drive to watch the sunrise. Hanauma Bay is about a 1 – 2 minutes drive from the home.
We had a great time here and would highly recommend it to family and friends. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

I highly recommend Hale Ohana for a family vacation to Oahu!! Our family of 10 (ages 17 - 81) thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It's hard to put into words how delightful it was to sit on the balcony off the dining room enjoying the view of Diamond Head feeling the ocean breeze, and watching the teenagers enjoy the pool given the position of the home on a hill adjacent to Haunama Bay. We had various activities planned, but sitting together on that balcony was one of the most special parts of our trip.
We discovered that Hale Ohana was also a perfect location on the island for everything we wanted to do while visiting Oahu--visiting Waikiki, Pearl Harbor, the Polynesian Cultural Center, Diamond Head, multiple hiking trails, waterfalls, Kaneohe Bay for kayaking, and one of the best days for us--visiting Waimanalo Beach--amazing sand and surf with no crowds on weekdays. We hoped to visit Hanauma Bay to swim and snorkel, but it's so popular that the tickets (sold online starting at 7 am 48 hours before the day you want to go) were sold out in 3 minutes! But there is so much to do in Hawaii, we just moved on to our next plan.
The location is also great because of the 5 minute drive to Walgreens (tip, they have $8 leis for that special someone in your life--and a Leonard's Bakery food truck in their parking lot!), 15 minutes to Safeway, Costco, and a host of good food 5 - 15 minutes away! (We loved Liko's Tap & Table, Sophie's Pizza, and Moena's Cafe.)
The home itself is clean and well-stocked with everything you'd want in the kitchen, lots of towels and extra bedding--and lots of swim towels, beach chairs, pool toys, and 4 excellent boogie boards!! These are the "good ones" that you can really catch a wave with! We enjoyed them so much at Waimanalo Beach.
There is no central AC as is true of most homes in Hawaii. With all the windows open (with screens to keep the bugs out--although we never noticed any mosquitos at all), a lovely ocean breeze, and big fans in every room, we were fine! The master bedroom has a window unit. We put the grandparents in that room, and with all of the windows closed and the AC on, they actually got cold!
We are so lucky to have snagged Hale Ohana for our very special family trip to Hawaii. And a big thanks to Eva, our host, who was very attentive and helpful on our arrival and throughout our stay. Mahalo!! We felt the Aloha spirit (it's not just a greeting) during our stay in East Oahu at Hale Ohana!

Family spent an amazing 6 days in this absolutely beautiful home. The view here is breathtaking. The pool was a plus for the children and guest. The home itself was clean; kitchen stacked with all cooking/baking tools, juicer, etc. This home was fully equipped with everything we needed. We really enjoyed our stay and hated to leave. We are looking to come back in July, 2021, God willing, and do plan to stay here again. THANK YOU EVA FOR EVERYTHING

The rental is just as pictured and more. I visited the Honolulu for my birthday with 7 adult family members and the space was perfect. We did not feel as if it were crowded at all. The host Eva was extremely nice and hospitable. Upon arrival to the airport I gave her a call and she was so pleasant. I told her I was going to eat and then to the rental. 2 hrs later I decided to tour the island and Eva was so attentive and called to check up on us to ensure everything was okay. Once arrived to the house we were surprised by welcome goodies such as Hawaiian coffee and fresh fruit. The bathrooms was supplied with new toiletries such as toothpaste, make up wipes, etc.. The location of the house was also great. Hanauma bay is just 10 mins away, unfortunately, it was closer during our stay but I’ve heard beautiful things. Maakupu beach park is 10 mins away. Lanikai is 20 mins away. All in all the location was perfect for us. I would highly recommend this rental.

Perfect Family Vacation Spot
Perfect location (south Oahu) in beautiful and quiet neighborhood, House itself was large and excellently stocked. Lovely welcome basket of fruit and nuts. Pool well maintained, internet reliable. House is older (window A/C in master bedroom only) and appliances need updating, but would definitely recommend to any family!

Wonderful Property at a Great Location with Commanding Views
Our family of five stayed at Hawaii Kai for 10 nights in June 2019 and really enjoyed our stay. The property is at a great location and very handy to all the major attractions (1 minute drive from Hanauma Bay, 5 minutes to the southeast beaches, 15 minutes to Diamond Head and 20 minutes to Honolulu) yet offers peace and quiet in a upscale residential neighborhood.
The clean and well-appointed property is quite large with commanding view of Maunalua Bay from virtually every room in the house. A big swimming pool, two big screen TVs, a large collection of DVDs and books and a fast internet connection provide plenty of entertainment when we were "home". Eva, the friendly owner, was very responsive to our inquiries and requests throughout our stay.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hawaii Kai and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great vacation rental on Oahu.

Great location, great views, great pool...disappointing interior!
Some of the fit-out and furnishings in this spacious house are very old, exemplified by the carpet that's so old the house has a permanent musty smell. Worse still the carpet on the external balconies is exposed to weather and accordingly reeks of mould. Also, don't expect AC thru the house as it only has one (loud!) AC unit in the main bedroom. Finally, one of the upstairs bedrooms is actually a small living room that occupants in the two adjoining bedrooms have to walk thru to reach the bathroom! For these reasons, our group felt that the house was poor value although with a small outlay by the owner the property could be a good stay option.

Great Location and beutiful view
Family of 10 people were comfortable with plenty of space. Loved that ground floor had full bath and sleeper futon in extended living room area for grand parents to sleep.
Upstairs had master bedroom with plenty of space and crib for baby. Upstairs also has 2 other bedrooms (queen beds) with extended living room having couch, TV and 2 X single beds.
Downstairs kitchen and dining room with extended deck is where we spent most of our time chatting, viewing sunset and sunrise over koko crater and diamond head. Kids enjoyed the pool, boogie boards and beach toys.
Visited Hanauma bay for snorkeling almost every morning (~1 mile). Halona Koko crater, blow hole and Makapu'u light house trail were within 10 mins driving. Great beaches on on south east side for boogie boarding; Bellows Field, Waimanalo, Kalama & Kailua. At Sandy beach (huge waves and rough) ate at food trucks and watched expert boogie boarding. Made trip to North shores to see turtles and Waikki beach on Friday evening (luckily found parking at the end of road near Diamond head) to see Polynesian dances and street artists.

Great place to unwind
The house is located in a nice quite neighbourhood. Close to Hanauma Bay and stores.
Very convenient. Has a good view and the place gets lots of wind so you don't feel hot during the day and nice and cool at night. Eva and Julie were really good hosts.

Trade Winds blowing cool breeze all day and night. Sliding doors from all 4 balconies, you can see the mountains and ocean, just beautiful. Neighborhood is quiet, good neighborhood too. Nice swimming pool with beach toys and lawn chairs. Boch washer and dryer. All together 4 Bedrooms and 3 Full size baths. Backyard is a mountain and private. I would definitely stay here again. Close to Honolulu and Waikiki, stores,shops, and surrounded by several beautiful breathtaking beaches!! We used the gas grill for steaks and hamburgers 🍔!! Thx to Eva, our trip was smooth sailing!! Aloha Eva!!

Awesome Stay!
Wow, what a beautiful place and the views are absolutely gorgeous. It was so nice to wake up every morning and have coffee on the deck overlooking the beautiful ocean to your left, and the mountains right in front of you. We were a group of 7 and there was plenty of room for all of us. Everyone had a bed. The house is in a great location and in a very quiet neighborhood. Waikiki is about 20 minutes away. Hanauma Bay is only a hop, skip and jump away and it is a must see. We drove over to the Northshore and that took a little over an hour. Eva was the best. So easy to work with and very accomodating. I know I will be back in Hawaii again and I will definitely stay there again if it is available. You will not be disappointed, trust me.
