About this property

Absolutely Oceanfront/ SimpleRuralHome/ AC Rooms/ Sunrise from deck/ Parking

For the traveller seeking a more authentic experience of Hawai`i is Hale Makani Kai, "home of the gentle ocean breeze." Ideally located for experiencing the unique beauty and culture of true Hawai`i, this home is found on the "beautiful side of the island” where the lush green mountains meet the crystal blue Pacific Ocean.

This comfortable upstairs rural home offers you the simplicity of island living without sacrificing modern convenience. After a swim in the ocean, relax on your deck where you can watch honu (sea turtles) taking a break at the surface, something you won't find on more crowded sides of the island! If you're lucky, you'll even get a chance to catch whales breaching out beyond the reef at the right time of year. Become entranced while watching the coconut trees swaying in the ocean breeze, perfectly framing your view of the ocean from the deck or living room - like something out of a postcard! Behind you, the Ko’olau mountain range rises into the sky, covered in a lush, green junglescape, where wild boar, peacocks, and birds live freely and mountain streams run untouched. The tranquil setting of this gem of a home truly removes you from the outside world, giving your spirit a place of solace to reconnect and be renewed.

When you’ve rejuvenated and are ready to venture out, you’ll find no shortage of unique local places to eat, uncrowded beaches to visit, and island shopping to explore. Two of the top ten world famous places to visit on O'ahu, The Polynesian Cultural Center (www.polynesia.com) and Kualoa Ranch (www.kualoa.com) are just minutes away. Lifetime memories are waiting to be made at these two truly unforgettable attractions, amongst others, just down the road from the home.

When you stay with us, not only do you get a more local experience, but you also are supporting local. We are kama’āina - a local family dedicated to caring for and sharing this special place we call home. We are honored to be able to introduce you to our unique island culture and lifestyle. Most of all, we are committed to sharing the true meaning of ALOHA with you, so that your Hawaii experience will be an unforgettable one for you and your `ohana (family). We've raised our family in this home, and while our children are now grown and on other parts of the island, this home has remained in the family, and we are honored to share its specialness with visitors in hopes that they will be able to experience an authentic piece of this truly unforgettable place. We look forward to welcoming you!

Perfect stay in paradise
This property was perfect for our first visit to the beautiful island of Oahu. Check-in was a breeze and the owner Lance was even there to give us a quick tour. The house had everything we needed for our family vacation. Drinking our coffee on the deck outside and watching the sun rise gave us that ultimate vacation feeling. We also loved walking the beach in the morning and even saw a few turtles. Beds were all very comfy and it worked really well for us that we could do laundry in the house. Lance was very easy to reach and helped us with all our questions. Also, he is a very talented artist (his art is featured throughout the house) and we were very lucky we were able to buy a piece of art from his studio that is located below the house. Would love to come back here someday!

Amazing
This was a trip to remember. If you are looking to experience the true island this is your place. We seen the most amazing beaches, views and sea life. We got to swim and snorkel with turtles just steps from our door. Lance was full of information and even opened his art gallery for us to come see. He's a very talented artist. We would 100% come back and stay here.

So Good!
We absolutely loved our stay. Lance's place is in a fantastic location and was the perfect place for our large family. The property is well maintained and comfortable. We loved being right on the ocean and the deck and yard were a great bonus. We would definitely stay again.

About the host

Hosted by property manager

Host profile image
I have lived on the island for over 40 years. Providing personal care to my guests to make sure they have a memorable Hawaiian vacation is my top priority. My two children grew up here, spending their childhood playing on the beach and swimming in the ocean at the back yard of this property. We are available to provide you with local knowledge, and to ensure that you have a great stay.







Why they chose this property

We have lived here since 1987, Hauula is where one can feel aloha (love from the heart). People are genuine. Neighbors always watch out for each other. The bonds are so tight. My dog, Abel, used to walk the beach freely (when there was no need for a leash), everyone knew him. Abel is in heaven now and we miss him.

When we moved here, our neighborhood boys, Dane and Drew delivered us cookies. My children became close friends with Drew who always took care of them. We never had to worry if they were with Drew. This is the kind of neighborhood we have. Drew now has his own family and still bring his family to visit his old neighbors once in a while.

What makes this property unique

This is a basic rural home, nothing fancy. One time a guest commented, " So peaceful. Looking out into mountains and the ocean, listening to the sound of the wave put you back with nature. It rejuvinates your soul."
