About this house rental
Situated in Waikane, this charming house for $185 per night is a fantastic option for your next vacation. I comply with all Hawaii tax regulations. Hawaii Tax ID#: TA-158-127-3088-01 Serenity......This peaceful retreat offers meticulous attention to detail and modern amenities on one acre of oceanfront property facing Mokoli'i Island (familiarly known as Chinaman's Hat) in Kane'ohe Bay on the wonderful windward side of O'ahu. When you arrive, the home invites you come in and bask in the Aloha spirit, even as the sea beckons you down to the shore to rest at the 'ae kai, admire the tropical foliage, and watch the moon rise over the placid ocean. You will sleep deeply in the queen-size bed, wake at first light to meander the manicured grounds, perhaps lingering by the water lily pond....as the sun hovers over the horizon and silently but surely rises. Savor a cup of Kona coffee or coconut chai as the shama birds serenade you with their unique and delightful song, as another lovely Hawaiian day unfolds...... The day holds treasures yet undiscovered. Whether it is swimming, snorkeling, beachcombing, horseback riding, ATV riding, hiking, shopping, exploring every nook and cranny of the island, taking in her unparalleled beauty....or, of course, sampling from O'ahu's diverse and delicious eateries....you are in a convenient location from which to launch the day's activities. The home is a 625-square foot studio comprised of a comfortable living area, kitchen and eating area, separate sleeping area (not quite a room, but partitioned), and a full, modern bathroom. A sofa with an extended cushion on one end for lounging pulls out to a full-size sleeper, and a 51" HD Smart TV is cable-connected for relaxed viewing. Free Wi-Fi is also included. A modern kitchen appointed with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, coffee maker, blender, rice cooker, flatware, cookware, and dishes also provides a spacious area with a brand-new wooden table and chairs for dining. The separate sleeping area is furnished with a comfy queen-size bed, and the full bathroom has granite countertops and a tub/shower combination with granite surround, as well as a stacking washer and dryer (no searching for/wasting time at a laundromat!). Fresh, soft linens and towels (including beach towels) are included. Rich, cool hardwood flooring throughout, tile flooring in the bathroom, crown molding, and quality fixtures express pride in workmanship and ownership and comfort you just as if you lived here. Cook up your favorites or new island delicacies inside or outside on the BBQ grill located in a separate area outdoors (close to your entrance). Dine indoors or al fresco at the table and chairs which overlook the grounds and the ocean.....gorgeous views any time of day or night! The home's windows are completely screened so you may leave them open (when you are "home") to enjoy the soft trade breezes, and the home is also air-conditioned (split zones) for your complete comfort. This gorgeous property provides the setting/backdrop for occasional Magnum P.I. filming! While the oceanfront is not a swimming beach (too shallow and rocky), Ku'aloa Beach Park, with its lovely white sandy swimming beach is just a 2 or 3 minute drive just up the road. Its safe and protected waters make it one of the ten top rated beaches on O'ahu....safe and fun for all ages. Parking for your one vehicle is right outside your door. So come on in......e komo mai.....welcome!

As a digital nomad/remote worker, I found the detached rental home to be perfect for working and relaxing. It was in a nice location that had beautiful mountains to the right and back. The ocean view from the kitchen table was priceless. It was great to view as I worked. The interior was organized and nicely decorated with quality appliances. The interior washer and dryer was handy as well.
One thing to note is that the wifi worked great on my computer while working inside the rental. The wifi signal on my cell phone was better outside though.
The host Gail was nice. She walked me through the interior and exterior of the rental where shared (two other cottages on the property) recreational storage, trash cans, and a grill was located. She also went over the laminated rules about the rental and property. She took care of anything that came up. She also gave me a papaya to enjoy.
It was a relaxing stay overall with no problems getting to and from the location with Lyft. Even grocery delivery services like Shipt were able to deliver when necessary.

Lovely windward getaway
Gails’s place is lovely. The view out the front is spectacular and we enjoyed just sitting down by the ocean taking in the breeze. A bit of a drive to Honolulu this is the perfect spot to get away from it all!

This is a great place to stay on Oahu! The space is kept very clean, and it was filled with every amenity/furnishing we could ask for. The appliances worked very well, check-in/check-out was simple, and the place looks exactly like the pictures. The beds/pillows/sheets are comfortable, and the shower water is hot and well pressured. The A/C works incredibly well, and the location is a bit out of the way, which provides serenity, while not being too far from everything since the island is so small. Our vacation was incredible partly because this place delivered in every way possible.

Perfect Windward Getaway
Gail’s property is conveniently located just north of Kaneohe, in a quiet and peaceful setting with magnificent views. We were looking for something more “country” for our stay, away from the city, and this property was perfect. The house was clean and accommodating, but the real gem was the backyard, which back ups to the water with a dramatic Mountain View. Although you can’t really swim here, my husband had I enjoyed eating dinner and having drinks using the provided chairs and tables in the evenings. We would stay here again on future trips. Mahalo!

Four Nights in Paradise
After living in Chicago's Covid atmosphere for 9 months arriving at this cute house with it's amazing view was a welcome relief. This studio has everything you need, including a welcome beer and some Chocolates. We watched spectacular sun rises and whenever we weren't exploring the island we were sitting down by the water. Gail is a great host, informing us about local places to eat and attractions to see.
Can't wait to return to this little bit of paradise.

Loved it!
I cannot say enough good things about our stay. Our host, Gail, was a pleasure to meet and talk to. The house was spotless and had all amenities one might need for their stay. Bed was comfortable. The chocolates and beer were a nice treat when we arrived. Thank you Gail!

Great Home Base!
Super cute and very well stocked! Loved this location as a home base for our explorations of Oahu as well as a truly lovely place just to sit and watch the sunrise (which, as a non-early bird person from the East Coast, I rarely see!) Highly recommend!

Cozy, clean and just what we needed
Nice little studio! Super clean, extras like a shopping bag, sunscreen and the Chocolates in the fridge were nice surprises! Street behind the unit is a little busy but we found with windows closed it was very quiet. My only complaint is, I’m a runner and I tried running on that road and it was awful. I prefer wooded trails to pavement anyway, but when traveling I take what I can get. At this house I was trapped and had to drive elsewhere and just live with hiking. Not the worst thing, just an unexpected frustration.

Comfortable
This property was just beautiful! It had everything we needed. Nothing was very far away. Gail was helpful and was there when we needed her but didn’t hover so We felt at home rather than like visitors. Not sure we will come back but if we do this would definitely be a place we would love to return to.

Fantastic Country Stay
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The property was beautiful, with direct access to the water. The cottage was as advertised, and quite comfortable. We definitely appreciated the little details, like extra sun screen, soaps, etc. Gail was fantastic to deal with. She's super friendly and responsive, and a good resource to use for local dining spots. We found we weren't wanting to leave when our time was up. We would definitely consider staying here again on our next trip!

This is a gem in the perfect location between the north and south shores. It’s quiet and tranquil, yet it’s easy to get to the busy city if you so choose. I can’t say enough good things about the owner! She is fabulous and very responsive. We want to make this our annual get away!! I would not want to be anywhere else! It’s perfect in every way.

Pros: Property was in a good location with little to no traffic. Cons: House was not well furnished; just a bed, dinning table, and a couch. The beach was not usable and muddy. TV didn't work, AC unit didn't work half the time. Wouldn't recommend it to family or friends.

Wonderful location
We stayed 6 nights at this property in Aug 2019. It's ideally located for driving to any spot on the island in a reasonable amount of time. About 25 minutes from Honolulu. The home is beautiful, the kitchen is fully equipped (but no dishwasher), and the grounds are breathtaking! The view of the bay is amazing -- sun rises directly in front of the property, and there is plenty of seating bayside to sit, sip a cup of coffee or glass of wine, and enjoy the view. The property owner (Gail) is super friendly and attentive. We had a couple of minor issues crop up during our stay and she responded immediately and took care of the issues. She also has plenty of beach equipment (cooler, chairs, towels, umbrellas, boogie boards & mask/snorkel) available for renters to use. Would stay here again next time we visit Oahu if it's available.

Peaceful Tropical Paradise
From the most comfortable pillow-top bed to the blissful views, and from the lovely manicured landscaped views to the pontoon boat and beach amenities, this place was a blissful tropical paradise, with all the comforts of home. We enjoyed the romantic sunrises/sunsets and views, the gorgeous spacious garden areas, and the peaceful air-conditioned house. The amenities were plentiful, with everything we hoped to find/have. We appreciated both indoor and outdoor showers and bathrooms. Thanks to Gail for being so accommodating and gracious! She and this house far exceeded our expectations. We hope to come back again!

Not bad
Location is remote. Kind of a drive to other places. Had some roaches in house. The worst thing is when ur neighbor turns on outside light it very bright and shines right in the house. We had to go over and ask them to turn off after trying to contact owner by text with no response
