The location of this exceptional and comfortable property cannot be beat! The thoughtfully appointed house was absolutely perfect for our family's beach vacation to Waimanalo, and sits on one of the best uncrowded powder beaches imaginable. The check-in process and communication with our host Sherry was excellent, and the big beach house filled with windows and light was roomy and comfortable, making for perfect memories of beautiful Oahu! Our family had a fantastic time watching the sunrise every morning from this wonderful beach house. Highly recommend!

Your house is a fantastic piece of paradise for a family vacation. It's 20 miles - but as good as a thousand - from the crowds and bustle of the Waikiki high-rise hotel scene. The uncrowded sandy beach is as good as being private. There was always a cooling breeze, the sunrises spectacular. The delightful owner was a peach to work with, keeping us well informed. Most highly recommend this property!

No words can do justice to how beautiful this location is. The beach is incredible, and never crowded. Plenty of shade up in the treeline. We’d read about some people having issues with a homeless camp nearby — but it’s at the park a half mile down the beach. Not an issue in any way. And why would you use the bathroom down there anyway when your house is much closer to the beach. The house ain’t fancy, but it’s incredibly comfortable, and there are windows everywhere, letting in sun and breeze and views. I’ve stayed all over the world, we’ve stayed in fancier places, but I’ve never stayed this close to such an incredible beach. The owner was friendly and responsive. And the Ono steak and shrimp down the block is top notch for plate lunches. If you like laidback Hawai’i, you can do no better than this house.

Family trip to relax on the beach. The neighborhood is great, close enough to Honolulu but far enough away to avoid the crowds.

We love this location. Great boogie boarding waves and beach. It’s 15-20 minutes from restaurants and 30 to Waikiki surfing. The house had all the space we needed with the addition of the cottage. The couches were comfortable and looked clean. We enjoyed watching movies at night in the family room. We loaded up with groceries at Costco and found all the cooking utensils and pots and pans we needed to prep meals when we didn’t eat out. Sherry was responsive when we had questions or needed maintenance help. This home is mainly cooled with the breeze off the ocean and fans. The cottage and 2 downstairs bedrooms have window a/c units. I mention this because you will likely need to leave the upstairs windows open at night to stay cool and will hear the ocean and palm trees swaying all night. (Some may not like this.) We also love the outdoor shower and preferred it to the interior options. This is an older home and you will see ants, geckos and spiders. I did not see any roaches on the inside of the house. There is a bit of a rustic feel to this home, but it has amazing views, quiet beach and just what we needed for family time in Oahu.

Our family gathered at Hawaiian Sunrise to celebrate our granddaughter’s college graduation. The wonderful setting in native flora just steps to the golden beach made us feel as though we had our own home in O’ahu. The house had all the amenities to accommodate us all. We even had a dinner with extended family members who were staying in Waikiki; they were blown away by our spot under the shadow of a cliff side. The top level equipment /appliances made cooking just as convenient as my own home. The setting on the beach provides a genuine million-dollar location. If you want a wonderful Hawaii experience, come to Hawaiian Sunrise.

We loved watching sunrise on the beach and long walks along the shore. The common spaces are very inviting and encouraged gathering and cooking as a large group. the dishwasher wasn’t working and sherry was able to contact the repair person and get us a temporary fix. A lovely spot.

The pictures of this home don’t do it justice. It has gorgeous views, comfortable, quality furniture, and a very nice and stocked kitchen with everything you need. We appreciated the Xbox and all the beach gear as well! Our group has rented many many homes in amazing locations and everyone commented on how nice this house was as well. The beach is right there, though it was fairly windy for 4 of our 5 days. Our tween and teen kids lived the waves for body boarding but if I had young kids we’d probably walk 5 mins down the beach to the slightly calmer waters. The neighborhood is quiet and felt perfectly safe. A few details that didn’t bother us but that you may want to be aware of… the primary/master bedroom upstairs has no door so noise from the kitchen can be heard if you sleep in, and the upstairs bath only has a tub, no shower. We did all our showers outside and that worked fine. Also the downstairs bedrooms don’t have curtains so if you need blackout shades I’d think about that. This was a lovely area of Oahu to stay and the home was awesome, I’d highly recommend!
