Situated only 2 miles from Diamond Head, 2.5 miles from Waikiki, 1.5 miles from Kahala Mall, 8 miles from Hanauma Bay, and 11 miles (20 minutes) from the airport.

We rented this house for six weeks. We had some friends and family stay with us over the course of our stay. We had lived in the area several years ago before moving to the mainland and know the location to be ideal, with close access to many restaurants and shops. We did cook some meals and found the kitchen to be well equipped. The hosts live on the first floor and were very responsive to our needs. The view, of course, is spectacular.

Great place to stay and more … Super view of Diamond Head, Waikiki, Downtown Honolulu and east towards Hawai Kai … Spectacular sunsets … extremely relaxing. Amenities were very close … We would recommend this home away from home to everyone looking for great value and an extraordinary experience … Kirsten is a great host and will keep you informed before and during your entire trip.

I loved this house from the get go. We stayed for a whole month. You will love the views from the deck. The whole house is big and roomy. There is no air conditioning, which my family had some trouble adjusting to, but by the end of the stay they did not want to leave! And Cristin brought extra fans and suggestions on how to keep the house cool for the heat of the day. Steep hills (comes with the view), big beautiful kitchen (ants greeted us, but again, comes with the territory-keep your kitchen clean and they go away). Authentic Hawaiian living is what you will get when you choose to stay here. It rained every day, but that just brought rainbows, and with the covered porch, you could sit outside and enjoy the views of the storms coming through. My only real complaint is the bus stop is at the front of the house. Convienient if you're using it, but loud if you're not. Lots of birds to listen to, we saw a parrot several times. And Cristin could not have been a better host! We would stay here again!

Cristin was a wonderful host. She made the check in very easy and promptly answered our questions. Her home was very comfortable and spacious and the view from the patio was fabulous. The location was centrally located to many of the places we frequented. It was definitely as advertised!

We stayed at Maunalani Heights for 6 weeks, with friends and family coming for a week at a time. Cristin and Soo are outstanding hosts. From the time I made the reservation, Cristin’s communication was great. Super quick responses to our questions and always accommodating our needs. She shared local tips for shopping, markets and restaurants. The amenities were amazing, we did not need for anything! This was the best equipped kitchen and home we have ever stayed in. We hosted Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve with no trouble! The home was super clean, comfortable and cutely decorated. The lanai is amazing! The views!!!! From the sunrise, the ocean, Diamond Head to the sunsets!!! Fabulous! Loved it! The location worked great for us! We loved our stay there and will come again!

I can't say enough about how great this property is and how extraordinary the hosts are. Cristin and her husband clearly work diligently to keep this home in excellent condition--everything is maintained in good working order, and the entire place is super clean from the floors, furniture, bathrooms, windows, kitchen (cupboards, drawers, appliances ..... ALL!), closets and linens, to even the deck furniture. You can feel the love the owners give to caring for this home. The rental is a second floor unit above theirs, so I would have expected to hear their family below, but the upstairs is unexpectedly quiet. The location is as central as you can get for Honolulu, and the deck offers a panoramic view of an expansive portion of the south shoreline. Our hosts went above and beyond providing a safe and healthy environment during our month-long stay, a few examples being that they left a breathtaking flower arrangement for us on the deck one day which was created from a diverse array of indigenous plant life in their garden; another gift came from their boys leaving some freshly picked mangoes for us to enjoy; yet another is when I asked permission to pick some plumerias in order to make a few leis for a visiting family member, they not only graciously said yes, they also provided some needle and thread for us when I found that the local stores had run out of those lei making tools due to the recent graduation season. If there were a 10 star rating, I would give this rental a 10. So grateful to Cristin and her family for embodying the true aloha of the islands and facilitating an absolutely wonderful stay on Oahu.
