Location: Waianae, West Oahu, Oahu, Hawaii, USA (About 1 hour NW from Honolulu Airport to Pokai Bay)
Accommodations: Large Beach House, 4 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 3 Baths (Sleeps 8-12)
Adapted to Hawaii's ocean environment, this two-story holiday rental home is perfect for the sun-loving traveler with family and friends of all ages. From the large dining lanai overlooking the ocean, you can view spectacular sunsets or watch for spinning dolphins. This is a real Hawaiian neighborhood unlike the Waikiki experience.
Due to the Leeward Coast's dry climate, plan to spend most of your vacation in sun or beach activities. Cast for fish from the reef in front, walk a few steps to the protected swimming beach at Pokai Bay, or surf at the Army Rec Beach, a five minute walk beyond. Big wave surfers are four miles from famed Makaha Beach. Both tennis and golf are within five miles. Nature lovers will enjoy the hike to Kaena Point to see the albatrosses. For those interested in Hawaiian culture, you can walk two hundred yards along the beachfront to an authentic heiau.
Secured atop nine-foot high concrete columns, this house was specifically designed to withstand tsunami waves and hurricane winds. Below is a closed two-car garage with elevator to the second floor living area. The high ceilings and large arched doorways onto the lanais give this home an open, airy feel. Artfully colored concrete floors are easy to keep clean. There is an outdoor shower for rinsing off sand and a spa tub in the master suite for relaxation. Other features include high-speed internet access, digital television cable with TVO, security system, table tennis and croquet set.
Library, post office, drugstore, video rental, groceries, 25 restaurants, and two banks are all within an easy ten minute walk.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2001
Hi,
I am a builder of homes, airplanes, cars, motorcycles, and guitars. I am also an artist working with metal and acrylic paints. My vacation rental is mostly an art project for me. It had to be substantial, but also allow me freedom to design and decorate. My wife and I use it for our getaway place when it is not rented.
Why the Owner Chose Waianae
We didn't just buy it, we built it. This location was chosen by searching the internet for vacant lots near the ocean. When we discovered how close this was to everything including resturants, stores, and the beach, we thought it was great! This is the hotter dryer side of Oahu and we live on the wet jungle side, so it makes a good change of scene.
The Unique Benefits of this Large Beach House
First and foremost there is the short distance to the beach. We swim and snorkle. We also like to have our friends come stay with us. The large kitchen and lanai make it easy to have several people cooking and never feel crowded. Getting up early and watching the fish, dolphins, and whales is also fun. We gather sea shells at low tides. We have even had dolphins come and swim with us once.
