Location: Ahuimanu, East Oahu, Oahu, Hawaii, USA (Waiahole "Rain Forest")

Accommodations:  Guest Accomodation, Studio, 1 Bath (Sleeps 2)

Enjoy the peace and serenity of a true tropical rainforest. This one acre property is located inside the Waiahole Forest Reserve and offers spectacular mountain and waterfall views.

Situated at the end of a small quiet street, this secluded Oahu guest house has unobstructed 180 degree views of Hawaii's magnificent Koolau Mountains (Pali). These mountains were featured in the original movie Jurassic Park. This majestic panorama often has over a dozen waterfalls dropping down the 3000 foot vertical face. (The waterfalls run after about one hour of steady rain.)

Check out one of Hawaii's best guidebooks; "Driving and Discovering Hawaii-Oahu"; in this book he writes this about our little street. . ."Here, the homes are built practically touching the perpendicular face of the Pali. The striking effect that these 3000' giant, towering, sheer walls have - looming overhead and dispensing countless veils of tumbling waterfalls after a rain is quite literally dizzying. On Oahu, you probably cannot get any closer to the pali's behemoth cliff face than this, without a difficult hike."

Let the sound of the artesian fed stream constantly flowing through the property put you to sleep each night. Wake to the songs of Native Hawaiian Birds every morning and the sun glistening off the mountains. Experience the true sights and sounds of a tropical rain forest.

A truly secluded paradise for those who want to experience life in one of Hawaii's most beautiful places. Amazing but true... This vacation rental is located on a small public street, only three to four minutes (less than two miles) off the main highway. Centrally located on the island it is only 12 minutes away from famous Kualoa Beach Park (Chinaman's Hat). Less than 30 minutes from Honolulu International Airport and Pearl Harbor, this is a vacation property that offers you close proximity to most all points on the island, but still has the peace and serenity of a true rainforest experience.

This large 400 square foot studio, it was primarily designed as guest accommodations as part of the main house. It is now being offered as a "vacation rental", with a large kitchen and a new Serta Perfect Sleeper Queen Bed you will feel right at home. This is an ideal studio for couples. Completely renovated and nicely appointed with a tile and hardwood bamboo floors and a tropical decor. Paradise awaits you!

  • Aloha Linda, Our first Hawaiian vacation started on a terrific note when we arrived at your "Jurrasic Park" studio. It was roomy, comfortable, clean and very reasonably priced. The gorgeous close-up view of the Ko'olau Mountain range from our deck made our breakfasts so-o-o-o pleasant. We did get 6 thin waterfalls after an overnight rain, so the website pictures were very accurate as was the property description. The rental process was first class from start to finish. We enjoyed our home away from home thoroughly. We enjoyed the easy driving distance to most areas especially the north shore and the Polynesian Cultural Center. We will definitely stay at one of your other rentals in Oahu or The Big Island on our second trip. Mahalo Linda

  • Thank you for sharing that little bit of heaven. When we think of Hawaii we will think of sitting outside eating dinner and taking in the peace at your place. We loved the Superferry. Seeing the sun come up over Diamond Head was something wonderful. We did not take any sea sickness meds and didn't need them. We are really looking forward to the ride back. If any one asks if they should go I'd say yes. the ferry is very comfortable and you can sit any where, the seating is very comfortable and lots of space for your legs. You can go outside to take pictures. It is a little windy outside by the rails. We took our car, just make sure that it is from an agency they have an agreement with. Have your insurance information, car registration, and rental agreement ready to show them. They check every car so get there early. No access to the cars once the ferry is under way.

  • As usual we were not disappointed in our accomodations. The unit is spotless, roomy and oh so comfortable. Great location for getting to either side of the Island. I noticed someone has put in some elbow grease on the yard and exterior. Thanks for making this a great home away from home. Rick & Sandy

  • My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Jurassic Park. We found the studio very clean and roomy. We had much more space than a Waikiki hotel room and with free parking! We had a little rain, but we didn't see any waterfalls the first week of April. The view was absolutely gorgeous anyway. It was very rejuvenating to sit on the deck and listen to the breeze and birds. The owners were very responsive to our questions and needs. We felt the unit was advertised very accurately. The only down-side was when we tried to go into the tourist areas; it always took us an hour during rush hour. We loved the studio and would recommend it to others.

  • Hi Linda, Just wanted to say mahalo again for the great feeling through out the whole process of renting the unit from you. Sorry we didn't get to meet. The stay was wonderful. Everything I read about the place online and more. Magnificent view, secluded area, private, great yard full of fruit trees and a very well placed hammock to enjoy the scenery. As clean as it gets and close enough to everything you want to do on O'ahu. I already recommended your place to my friends on the mainland. Hope all is well. Happy holidays, Aloha, Eyal

  • Fantastic!! The best value on the Island, we were visiting friends and they were stunned when we showed them our rental. It is better than described and a great location to explore the island. We spent our last two nights at the Sheraton Mona a very nice hotel, when we come back we will be staying at one of Lindas rentals the whole time!

  • Awesome unit! Cleanest unit we've ever rented. Everything was provided for. Owners very nice to deal with. Wife loved the decor of this unit. We saw waterfalls & my wife loved seeing them! Great location & close to many things! Only regret was we only rented for 3 days as it was our post cruise stay. Wished we stayed longer. Met son Matthew and he was extremely helpful. Definitely worth a repeat visit!!

  • Hi Linda, We had a great time at the house. It is even better in person. It is one of the most beautiful places on earth to spend time, we didn't ever want to leave. Being up in that area was awesome, but it is still so close to everything. It was great meeting you and your son, we felt like we were home. Hope to do it again next year and for many to come. Again thanks for such a wonderful place, we loved it.. Tony

  • It didn't take us long to find this great cozy rental (just follow the directions that Linda sends you). What an absolutely beautiful view of the mountains! The studio is very clean with modern decor, has a very spacious kitchen (buy your groceries at Times) and a beautiful new shower! Loved the keyless entry, too. Be sure to check out Byodo-In Temple. Thank you, Linda, for renting this property to us! Mahalo!
