Why the Owner Chose Honolulu

Because I am a realtor, it gives me the flexibility to manage the vacation rental while enjoying meeting people from around the world. When guests have an interest in seeing properties while visiting, I have the opportunity to show them properties island wide.

The Unique Benefits at this Home

This property is ideally located, close to Waikiki but not in the busy downtown area. We have incredible views, warm water, restaurants and activities close at hand. Famous Hanauma Bay is just 2 minutes away. There are beautiful cliffs to climb and great surf just 1 minute from the front door! Walking in the neighborhood you will see some of the most beautiful homes on the island.

A
Spitting Cave

This is a rocky cliff area which has a cave that goes underwater and under the cliff for about 100 ft. When the surf is up, it blows a huge volume of water straight out to see as the waves compress th

B
China Walls

This is a rocky cliff area where surfers and swimmers can be seen jumping in and enjoying the waves. Not for beginners, Great Photo Op!

C
Kokee Park and Pillers

This park is the entry point for Pillers Surf spot, which is straight out 75 yards. Also at the bottom of the cliff turn right and there is a private beach and fishing jetty.

D
Portlock Beach

Long Sand Beach, accessible through the 'Private' street entrances, which are public thoroughfares. Great for Picknicks and weddings!

E
The Activity Marina at Koko Marina

This is a recteation area where you can water ski, be pulled on a raft or large banana! You can also make arrangements to go Parasailing, jet skiing, and diving here at the marina.

F
Dog Park Fenced

This is a public dog park, gated and regulated

G
Dog Park Unrestricted

This is a recreation area with bathrooms and a very tidal sandy beach and sand bar, great for watching dogs run at top speed in the water, as they play.

 

Owner's Map of Honolulu

Aloha! Lynn and I purchased Hale Hawaii Kai in June of 2005. I had rented the house since March of 2000. I started the gardening immediately and once I purchased the house put the lanscaping in HIGH GEAR. We also added a pool. I have photos of Lynn on the excavator digging the pool...she is good! We renovated the entire property inside and out: paint, cabinets, eaves, bathrooms and wardrobes. This property is the LOVE OF MY LIFE, next to Lynn! I work for East Oahu Realty and Lynn works for Delta Airlines. We enjoy our guests' holidays almost as much as they do. We enjoy taking them surfing, kayaking and hiking.

    • Aloha Edgar! Thank you for an absolutely wonderful 2 weeks on the beautiful island of Oahu! We so enjoyed staying at your house! It is such a beautiful home and its location is perfect! Looking across the bay at Diamond Head and the mountains, sitting outside and seeing rainbows almost every day, and being able to jump on H-1 to get to Waikiki or to see Keith and Annie in 15 minutes, or to go in the other direction and get to the beach at Waimanalo or Bellows in 20 minutes! We had such a great time. It has taken us this long to get back into the swing of “real life”! It would be so nice to be able to get to Hawaii more often! Maybe some day we’ll be able to come for a month at a time. Your house is great! It was so good (and so unusual for all six of us) to be comfortable enough to leave the house wide open the entire time we were there! We never closed the sliders, never locked the doors! The pool, the hot tub, the gardens – both inside and out! – are just beautiful! We had everything we needed to make our vacation both relaxing and fun! Also, thank you for allowing us to have a barbecue for Keith and Annie and their friends. It was so nice to have someplace to call home, where we could feel comfortable entertaining! We were delighted that you accepted our invitation to join us for that! It was great to spend some time with you. Although you lived on the property we hardly ever crossed paths. We were all so busy!!!! Thank you for your nice phone message about the condition of the house. We tried to leave it as clean as it was when we arrived. We washed all the sheets, but didn’t remake the beds since you didn’t have anyone coming in for a couple of weeks. We thought it would be better if the beds were made up fresh just before they arrived. I hope that was okay! Sorry for all the bottles, but we hope you were able to turn them in for your church as you had said. We will definitely contact you again when we are coming to visit Keith! Mahalo!! Aloha Nui Loa! Judy and Craig

    • My family of 12 spent 7 days at this location and it was a wonderful and relaxing experience for all of us, ages 9 to 63. The hosts were awsome and the house is a home away from home. I would recommend this location to anyone and I would return in a heart beat. Thank you so very much

      Yvonn, Mahalo for your 'kokua' and you and your family are welcome with open arms anytime you come to Oahu. God Bless, Edgar and Lynn

    • Words cannot describe the fantastic time had by all 12 of us during our stay at your house. We had various ages and 3 generations and each and everyone of us had a wonderful time. The house was more than perfect for all of us. We ate our morning and evening meals there and checked out the local attractions during the day, enjoyed luaus, Pearl Harbor, parasailing,snorkelling, boogie boarding,swimming, relaxing, etc. Thank you Edgar and Lynn for your gracious visits and answering all our questions and most of all allowing us to stay at your house - it was magnificent and we are recommending it to everyone we visit with about our trip. Maholo - Ward & Vonnie

    • Spending 8 days in beautiful Hawaii Kai at this perfect location was a truly wonderful experience for my entire group. We had a family wedding on the island and Edgar's home became the favorite spot for all the visitors as we had lovely views, comfortable surroundings and great amenities. Edgar and Lynn were superb hosts. The spacious home and the incredible gardens and scenery make one believe this is paradise! I would recommend this spacious home to anyone with a big group who wants to be comfortable and feel at home in a neighborhood, away from the hustle of Waikiki.

    • What a blast Edgar & Lynn. As you know, this was my second stay at your home but this time I could enjoy it with my entire family. Thank you for all you did to make the stay a very special and memorable one for all of us. The home is fantastic, the area unbelievable and the activities are unbeatable, but your personality and generous spirit is the magic that makes it all work. Mahalo!

    • We loved our 9 nights at your wonderful house. We have 7 kids so we needed plenty of space to spread out and plenty of things for them to do while hanging out. We found both at your wonderful home. The kids loved the pool and did lots of exploring up the hills around the house. Edgar, you were a wealth of knowledge and we appreciated everything you did for us. We'd come back in a heartbeat. Mahalo from North Carolina from the Seymore gang

    • "We entirely enjoyed our stay. It was perfect for us in everyway and we took advantage of early morning coffee watching the sun rise over Diamond Head and Maunalau Bay, to afternoon swims in the pool and spa, to grilling steaks on the "Barbie" and in the evenings crashing in front of the TV with a movie from blockbuster. The home is roomy and comfortable, with the tropical breezes blowing through from the pool to the lanai. Edgar is a gracious host and made sure we took advantage of all the amenities, in the home, in the neighborhood and in the area. We snorkeled in Hanauma Bay, scuba dived in Maunalua Bay, kayaked off the "wall", surfed along Waikiki beach, watched the sunset along Waialua Bay over dinner and just hung around the many local beaches along the windward coast, including the beach from the movie "From Here to Eternity". Edgar is a wealth of knowledge on local places, people, customs and heritage. If you want to vacation with tourist frenzied crowds, get a hotel in Honolulu. But if you want to really experience Oahu and the Hawaiian lifestyle, stay here. This is truly paradise.

      Homeowner Response:
      Tom, We thoroughly enjoyed your staying with us and look forward to seeing you again, soon! Edgar and Lynn
