Overview
Brand New Home with Full AC, Pool, View Decks & Drop Dead 180 Degree Ocean Views
Hale Maunalua is a one-of-a-kind private hillside home with room for everyone to enjoy. The home is cool & breezy, but if it gets warm, it's also fully air conditioned with an amazing new Mitsubishi system.
Located in east O'ahu just walking distance from Hanauma Bay for some of Hawaii's very best snorkeling. Very close to Portlock Beach & Sandy Beach. Also just 1-2 miles away from Koko Marina Shopping Center & Hawai'i Kai Shopping Center which both abound with lively restaurants, grocery stores, drug stores, theaters & even Costco! Very easy access to Honolulu. It's rare to find a home that is this close to everything you need to enjoy your stay, but is beyond the urban sprawl of the high rise hotels, condos & office towers of the downtown Honolulu area & Waikiki.
The home has 3 levels to enjoy with one-of-a-kind breathtaking ocean views of the entire east side of O'ahu from every level. Enjoy nightly sunsets over iconic Diamond Head in the distance with a night cap from the privacy of your own pool deck!
This home can sleep 10 comfortably in bedrooms & 2 more on the inflatable & sofa bed in the theater room if needed. The home has all new high thread count linens, new beds, all new furniture & furnishings, with wonderful art & panoramic ocean views to ease your mind.
Enjoy 2 large 50 inch flat screen TV's & a private bar area downstairs next to the pool, complete with refrigerator & mini bar. This area allows you to separate the more "feisty" members of your group from the guests that want to have peace & quiet upstairs.
We are about a 1/4 mile from the beach & the entrance to Hanauma Bay State Fish Sanctuary for easy access to the best diving on O'ahu. We are about 1/4 mile from Koko Marina Shopping Center & 1 mile from Costco for easy access to whatever you need.
This VRBO partner has demonstrated and is committed to fast response times, the best rates, and a great guest experience.

Reviews
Exceptional!

Great house and accommodations and view, great location close to food, restaurants, and Hanauma Bay
House was modern and new condition with good view of Hawaii Kai and back towards Waikiki. Room to spread out for four couples and four children (2-10 yr old). Private pool was a treat for the kids. There are good restaurants and takeout sources within five minutes, as well as a supermarket and Costco. We attended events in town and while traffic was heavy at peak times it always seemed to keep moving. Hanauma Bay is less than five minutes away and Sea Life Park, Waimanalo and Kailua were just beyond. There was room to easily park three vehicles on the property. Expect a steep driveway that is slippery when wet and covered with leaves. Street parking is available. Would try to stay here again on next visit to Honolulu.
Better than the pictures
The house and views were beautiful. Everything was clean and my whole family of 8 was comfortable. The location was great because it’s away from the crowds and noise of downtown but still quick and easy to get to. We had no issues with the house and would love to stay here again on our next visit!
Amazing property with one of the best views on the island!
We were here in July 2017 and had an incredible time! We love the property, the pool, and the view. The local Hawaii Kai area is great and it's a perfect place for excursions around the island. We would definitely rent this property again
All that was advertised
We were very pleased with this house. View was terrific and house was all that was advertised. Got a little hot inside in the afternoon when the sun was beating in. There were no shades to put down to block the suns rays. Would have thought the owner would want to save AC costs. Great sun sets which we thoroughly enjoyed. The house was well laid out. Just watch the last step going down the stairs from the kitchen level to the mid-level living room. My wife took a spill and two of us almost fell by missing the last step. It blends in perfectly with the floor and the railing runs out on the previous step which gives you the impression that you have reached the floor before actually reaching it. However, these are small things and overall a great house. FYI driveway is very steep, but that is what gives you the views. Grandchildren thoroughly enjoyed the pool as well. Location is great too. Costco very close and Safeway. Hanuama Bay is only 5 minutes away and fabulous. Get there before 7am! Diamond Head not too far away either, ditto Waikiki. We are happy we chose this house. We were able to reach Craig whenever we needed to ask him a question.
Ideal home and location for large family vacation.
This home exceeded expectations even considering positive reviews and good photos. The decor is sophisticated and well-chosen, and the views can't be beat. We rented the home for an extended family of 11, including 3 family units with teens and a pre-teen. Everyone had a comfortable sleeping space and, for times we were at the home during the day or evening, space to spread out. Hawaii Kai is in an excellent location--just minutes to hike Koko Head or snorkel at Huanama Bay. The more residential and less touristy feel was appreciated. The nearby Costco was also very convenient. For a minor issue that came up, the housekeeper and Craig were easily reached by phone. If we're lucky enough to do another family trip to Hawaii, I'm sure we would check availability with this home. It was perfect for us.
Amazing home, great views, has everything you need.
Our extended family, 9 adults, 3 kids all together, stayed recently and loved our stay. The house has amazing views, and has everything needed for a comfortable stay. We didn't want to leave! It's an easy drive to Honolulu and has all the major stores you need within a close drive. We ended up eating at the house more than expected because the space was so great. We highly recommend staying here!
