Water is everywhere...hot tub and pool in the back yard or just step across the street onto the ocean cliffs. One block down the street, sit on a private sandy beach.
The master bedroom is just inside the entrance and has a king size bed,a large double wardrobe and private bathroom. Both of the other bedrooms have queen beds and they share one full and one half bathrooms at the rear of the house.

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