About this property

Upper-Level Oceanfront Retreat • Gazebo Lounge + Balcony | Waianae Wave House

Welcome to your private stretch of paradise on Oʻahu's serene western shoreline — a breathtaking coastal escape where the Pacific Ocean becomes your backyard and the rhythm of the waves sets the pace for your stay.

Set directly on the shoreline in Waianae, this gorgeous home offers unobstructed ocean views that feel almost cinematic. From sunrise glow to fiery Hawaiian sunsets, the horizon is always on display, with nothing between you and the sea but salt air and swaying palms. The spacious yard creates an incredible sense of privacy, giving you room to spread out, relax, and fully sink into island time.

Step inside to a comfortable living room designed for unwinding after sun-soaked days, whether you're sharing stories from the beach or simply enjoying the view from indoors. The fully equipped kitchen is stocked with all the essentials, making it easy to prepare fresh island meals, casual breakfasts, or sunset snacks to enjoy outside.

Balconies invite you to step out and savor the fresh ocean air whenever the mood strikes — morning coffee with the sound of waves, midday lounging in the breeze, or quiet nighttime moments under the stars. Each bedroom is thoughtfully designed to be both beautiful and comfortable, offering restful spaces that let you recharge while still feeling connected to the calming coastal surroundings.

Outdoors is where this home truly shines. Your backyard is literally the shoreline, creating a rare, immersive oceanfront experience where days and nights unfold to the sound of crashing waves. The gazebo with shaded seating becomes a natural gathering place — ideal for reading, conversation, or simply watching the tide roll in and out. With a spacious yard and uninterrupted views, the setting feels peaceful, private, and endlessly scenic.

Located in Waianae, you'll experience a quieter, more authentic side of Oʻahu away from the crowds, yet still within reach of the island's iconic experiences. Spend your days exploring nearby beaches like Makaha Beach Park, known for its clear water and seasonal surf, snorkeling along vibrant reefs, hiking scenic ridgelines, or taking a scenic drive toward Ko Olina's lagoons, golf courses, and dining. When you return home, the peaceful coastline welcomes you back with unmatched tranquility.

This is more than a beachfront stay — it's a front-row seat to the Pacific, where privacy, beauty, and the soothing power of the ocean come together to create something unforgettable.

Looking for more space? The lower unit at Waianea Wave House is also available and provides two additional bedrooms.

AvantStay provides a personalized hospitality experience to elevate your stay. With our Concierge Service, guests have access to our tech-enabled services like fridge stocking, private chefs, massages, transportation, special occasion celebrations, baby gear rentals, ski gear, beach gear, and more. For anything you need, we're at your fingertips.

In the heart of the Pacific Ocean, Oahu should be on everyone's bucket list. With miles of white sand beaches to play on and lush, forested mountains to explore, the island is ideal for both relaxation and adventure. Whether you're traversing the Kualoa Ranch on horseback, coasting along the Kamehameha Highway, or snorkeling with exotic sea life in clear waters, you'll be amazed by all the natural beauty this tropical paradise has to offer. Aloha and e Komo Mai!

Perfect beach house - on the water, walkable to a sand beach, and large common areas in the home. This house is a bit of a drive from most touristy destinations on Oahu, but if you’re looking for something quiet and local, you'll love it!

Great spot away from tourists

We stayed for 4 nights and had a great experience - the house had everything we needed for a group of 7 (4 adults + 3 kids)! We loved being able to use the beach gear and towels! The area just south (Waianae) is peppered with a significant amount of encampments along the beachfront, and there isn’t a grocery store nearby - so be sure to look for a grocery store before settling in.

Hawaiian vacation

The house was roomy, the beds were comfortable. There was plenty of room for our family of 4 adults and 2 children. The little beach nearby was a big hit. There were a few areas that needed some minor maintenance and repairs. Pristine conditions would have truly made it a luxury.

Fantastic Views of the Ocean and Sea Turtles

This house is beautiful. We saw so many tropical birds and sea turtles off the back patio. There was a little beach about 1 minute's walk away where we saw more sea turtles. We would stay again. Lots of extras on hand including; a washer dryer, laundry detergent, shampoo, conditioner, soap, etc.

Beautiful Property as Billed

As others have said, the regret may be we didn't spend more time hanging out at this beautiful vacation home. The ice maker froze up and a toilet flap in the master bath I am sure will be fixed shortly, because Earl was very attentive to our needs the whole trip and manages a wonderful property. It's a lot of house with a 360 patio deck looking over the grounds and the Pacific only a few yards away. We hope to come back.

so many positives!

We had a great time at Earl's property! There are so many positives - the view (wow!), the size of the property, the privacy, the large rooms and kitchen, the outdoor space, the beach equipment, the sunsets, the turtles! The property could have been cleaner and the location means you'll spend some time driving to most tourist activities. It's definitely a house you'll want to spend a lot of time in during your stay - we cooked breakfast and dinner here everyday and enjoyed sunset drinks on the balcony. with just some small changes like a set of wine glasses and updated towels it would have been perfect.

Home away from home ❤️

This house was absolutely perfect for my family and I. There was nothing that we wanted / needed that the house did not already have, it was fully stocked with everything needed from kitchen, towels, toiletries, steamer/iron and extra pillows/blankets and MORE. The listing doesn't do the house justice, it's even more beautiful in person. The beach access was just a short walk away from the house where we saw / swam with the turtles. You can also access the beach through the backyard (that's what our kids did) and it was peaceful and beautiful to just hangout at the house and bbq while watching the sunset. Thank you again Earl for sharing your paradise home with us!

Peaceful Home Away From Home

We loved the property and being away from the busy streets of Waikiki. Earl was always quick to communicate. The home has many amenities like large bottles of shampoo, conditioner, body wash, q-tips, sunscreen, hair gel, blow dryer, steamer, iron, queen air bed, beach towels, goggles, boogie boards, fully stocked kitchen (Keurig included). There were even some grocery items there. The turtles were on the beach daily and the close proximity, blue waters, and uncrowded area made beach days so relaxing. It was a bit of a drive to get to excursions but worth it. We attended Paradise Chapel and they were very welcoming. The Polynesian Center was our favorite. We also parasailed, snorkeled with Turtles, visited Dole Plantation, and more!

Family friendly

This is beautiful place. Communicating was excellent. The property feels very secure. However, be aware that it is located in a more local/less tourist area of the island. You will pass beaches with many tents and homeless. Also note that depending on the time of year you are there you may have to drive a little to find a beach as the waves on this side are phenomenal! Beautiful sunsets and turtles on the beach just a couple houses down. Do not go closer then 10 feet. At 6 feet a neighbor yelled from their patio to stay back. We were able to see whales from the porch. There are grocery stores and some fast food restaurants close by. Plan your drives or you will hit traffic entering Honolulu in the morning and exiting at night. The views and the peace there are stunning. We would definitely stay again.

Ocean, Ocean, Ocean

I chose this property due to the proximity of the ocean and beach access. And it didn't disappoint. Our views were amazing. The beach access was a minute walk away and we swam with the turtles. We enjoyed Aiki Beach as if it was our own. We enjoyed the west side of the island. Some may not care for the location. This isn't a resort area. We found it interesting and ok. The area doesn't have restaurants per se, they do have fast food. You will see homeless camps on the beaches along the way. You will have a 25 minute drive to the Ko Olina Resort, which does have restaurants, lagoons and shopping. You will find that the lagoons will be full, full meaning the parking lot, but you can park elsewhere and walk in to the lagoons. If you are looking for a fine dining experience, the Noe restaurant at the Four Seasons Hotel was outstanding. We can recommend the Dolphin Excursions Snorkel Adventure at the Waianae Boat Harbor a few minutes from the house. The TOA Luau was great. It's at the North Shore. Check it out. Go early to beat the traffic. Nice day to explore the area. We had a really good time together - family vacation with our adult children and families. Aloha!
