About this house rental

***Booking is not confirmed until you have received an email from Rental Advisor.

Escape to your own private, country beach house paradise! The house is a 6-bedroom, 4-bath, two-story home on an acre beach lot with an outdoor Jacuzzi overlooking the ocean and an all sport court (pickleball, basketball, and badminton) in a fenced compound. Each floor has a primary bedroom overlooking the ocean and there is a full kitchen on each floor so it is designed to accommodate 2 families. *Note- there is no access between floors inside the home. *AC added to 4 bedrooms!

There is a massage deck and hammock hidden in a tree-covered area for privacy and it is only yards from the beach. There is also an outdoor dining area that seats 10 under the trees for that perfect BBQ. There are beautiful views of the ocean from the wrap-around decks. It is literally one of the most beautiful protected bays in the Islands. Many of the older families in Honolulu have their private beach homes on this bay. The house is a quiet, upscale property which is popular with local artists, writers, etc.

The north shore takes you from the hustle of Honolulu to explore some of the most pristine beaches. Nearby beaches include Sunset Beach, Waimea Bay and Ehukai Beach.

Our country beach house is located on the Island of Oahu approximately one hour from Honolulu and the Airport.

---Things to Note---
1. The Hawaiian Islands have some of the most remote tropical rainforests in the world. Nevertheless, like any moist and fertile environment, you may find some ants, mosquitoes, roaches and critters like little geckos that share this beautiful world with humans. To keep out bugs, remember to close the doors right after entering. Don't leave food or crumbs on counters or tables and avoid eating at the bed because ants are really smart and fast.
2. Outdoor cameras at the property. Location will be disclosed when guests arrive. Please contact caretaker about this.
3. Due to the proximity to the ocean, the salt air can accelerate the deterioration of metal surfaces, appliances, and other materials in and around the home. We want to ensure a comfortable stay and maintain the quality of our beachfront properties.

Moani Kai was a wonderful family friendly place to stay with a beautiful beach front view!
The view was incredible, the relaxed atmosphere of that side of the island was so great, Carole was very friendly and accommodating and helped us when we needed additional pack and plays for the grandchildren. We loved the hot tub, the sport court, the beach, the porch, the barbecue grill and table set up for family dinners was awesome and we loved the atmosphere in the evenings when we turned on the lights around the dinner table and the trees nearby that were lit, it was really very relaxing and inviting. Thanks so much for making our stay such a pleasant one!

"Great home, quiet location, helpful caretaker" This home was great for 6 couples celebrating our father's 80th birthday. The house was clean and well maintained. There was plenty of space for 12 adults to visit together, and cozy nooks for individuals to read and enjoy the property. The weather on this side of the island was very windy while we were there. My brother was able to kite board on the beach outside the back door. However, the last day was still and perfect. Carol, the care taker, was friendly and provided great ideas for beaches, food, hikes, etc. Thanks Carol and Lavish Getaways for making this such a great vacation. We want to come back.

Best Weekend Ever!!!!
The Moani Kai was absolutely beautiful....the house is well equipped inside and out........kitchen has everything you would need...... outdoors had surf boards, chairs, toys for kids, towels....just bring your swimsuit!! There's enough room to accommodate the young active ones and space for relaxing and peacefulness. The property is right on the beach yet private. We will rent again!!! The caretaker was friendly and helpful.

Awesome
We had the very best time at Moani Kai. Our children and their families spent four wonderful days at this totally enjoyable home. Being residents of O'ahu and most of our family coming in from the mainland we wanted to make sure that their stay was the best ever. Moani Kai did not disappoint. Highly recommended. I'd definitely stay here again.

Exceeded our expectations!
The only thing wrong with our 5 day stay was it was too short! The house was perfectly located right on the beach which was also beautiful with soft golden sand. We enjoyed lunches and drinks on the lanai with the gorgeous yard sloping to the beach. The house has a wide open feel and the kitchen was well equipped for cooking for 2 or 12. (The caretaker) was sweet and helpful and a pleasure to work with. Lavish Getaways did an excellent job presenting several options of properties for us to pick from. We can't thank everyone enough for helping us have our dream wedding.

We loved this place!
This house was perfect for our group of married children & our grandkids. It was even better than the pictures could show. We had so much space and the kids all commented how we never felt crowded. The yard was so great for the kids to run around in when they were done with the sand. The beach was so beautiful in a bay which had a break so the surf wasn't too scary for the little ones. The sport court was fun, too! The hot tub was working great. A guy even came mid-week to clean it. It was especially nice after a day at the beach! The caretaker was adorable and friendly. She checked in with us to make sure we didn't need anything but was never invasive. We found plenty to do right around the area. Lots of fun food places. Loved Papa Ole's for breakfast. My husband was on grill duty for dinners and commented that a newer and bigger BBQ would be great, but we were grateful for all of the extras provided that we weren't expecting. There are 2 washers & 2 dryers to use which was so helpful for our big group. The unit provided plenty of beach & bath towels, lots of chairs in the yard for hanging out, and even beach toys for the kids. There were boogie boards & surf boards. There was DW soap & even TP...Just a few nice things we didn't have to run out & buy! Our biggest Thank You to the owners & rental agency & the caretaker for helping our family vacation be the best it could be! Everyone loved it so much and we really hope we can come back again!! You gotta come here if you want to get away from the crazy Waikiki and feel how Hawaii is supposed to be.

Great Beach house!

Overall, the property was very nice and the proximity to the beach was great. Local traffic made driving anywhere in the area difficult, but unavoidable. The caretaker kept in touch, but we never met her, but there were no problems that she needed to be there for. Fortunately, the maintenance handyman was very helpful, although he was working on a project the entire stay (in the crawl-space under the house).

I expected it to be just a little more up to date and definitely a lot more cleaner. I’m a detail person. The screens were dirty. I feel the home needed a good washing outside and detailed cleaning inside. The refrigerator was clean. There was a musty smell of some sort in the home particularly in the upstairs and there definitely needs to be a way to keep the other rooms cooler. Terribly warm upstairs. But the property was fantastic for our group and it wasn’t so fancy that I didn’t have to keep watch of the kids constantly. You might check the wiring for the jacuzzi. My son in law jiggled something and we were then able to get the jets turned on and didn’t have a problem after that. But all in all we all had a good time together and enjoyed the location!

This house was a perfect fit for our family group of 13 ages 1-63 years old. The grandkids especially loved the yard with the large grassy area to play in after a long day at the beach or site seeing. We couldn't get the grill to work so we just went and ordered from the nearby food trucks again, yummy! The location was great for our adventures and away from the hustle of Honolulu. The 4 main bedrooms had a/c but the rest of the house including the 2 twin bedrooms were at times too hot for comfort. The house was perfect for us, but just know that it is more rustic than the pictures show. Overall we loved the house and would not hesitate to return.

Comfortable home, beautiful yard, right on a quiet beach, with a pickleball court, couldn’t ask for more. We had a family group of 14 and had plenty of room. Hot tub was clean and was enjoyed on cooler evenings. Restaurants, groceries, surfing, snorkeling, hiking, and more are all close by. Would definitely stay again.

The property managers (Rental Adviser) were not helpful with communication throughout the booking process and pre check-in. The house itself was pretty good, EXCEPT for the roosters. These roosters (there were at least 3) crowed all throughout the night and day. Everyone in our party was woken up by them every morning and sometimes as early 3:30am. This made it difficult for everyone to enjoy the stay due to not getting much sleep. There was a super raggedy orange construction fence that made the view unsightly which is set between the house and the beach. You also have to walk around it to get to the beach and it’s a little awkward. I have to say though, it’s not a far walk which was a plus. There are a few positives of this place. The most important one being the property care taker because he was excellent and extremely helpful. He might have been the best part of the whole experience. And the close access to the beach and food trucks was nice, too. Those are the only reasons we are giving this place 2 stars.

This was perfect for our extended family vacation. There were a lot of different hang out spaces and activities on the doorstep in the form of a beach and pickleball court. Carol was very helpful, taking a photo of us so that we had a record of our time away. The grill was the only part of the property that we found to be in need of a clean before we used it, as there was a lot of built up grease. Overall, a wonderful experience.

We had been dreaming and planning this vacation for our family to come together and spend great quality time. IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT! From early morning sunrises, to chill time, Surf boarding lessons, Kualoa Ranch UTV rides, family photo shoot, Pearl Harbor, dinner cruise, Polynesian Cultural Center, Dole Plantation, pickle ball, food trucks and local shopping, we could not have had a better time. Great location, the house had everything we needed and we knew Carol was there to answer any question we might have. THANK YOU CAROL, you were an awesome host. We definitely will be planning a return trip.

Having planned our Family vacation for almost 2 years, this home was the focal point of our celebration. The house was pretty much as expected and what you see from the pictures. The patio and covered table out in the back yard were both central gathering places to relax and enjoy family dinners. The ocean breezes were cool and constant. The rain showers were typically light and brief. There were 13 of us, but there was plenty of space to relax, or get away if needed. We loved it! Worth ever dollar, a bunch of dollars! Would I do it again. Absolutely!
