About this property

BIG ALOHA & AWESOME VIEW AT THIS HAWAIIAN HOME!

~Breezy Spacious and Welcoming Vacation Home~
This Hawaiian home sits up on the mountain with unbelievable, panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, Diamond Head, Waikiki, and downtown. Watch sunsets, fireworks, whales, and rainbows from the lanai. Situated only 2 miles from Diamond Head, 2.5 miles from Waikiki, 1.5 miles from Kahala Mall, 8 miles from Hanauma Bay, and 11 miles (20 minutes) from the airport. Minutes to jump on the highway and explore the island. Beautiful beaches surround us.
This lovely and breezy house is furnished with vintage Hawaiian charm. It has three bedrooms, two bathrooms (one with a tub/shower and one with a shower), a large living room, and a dining room that seats 8. The newly remodeled, fully equipped kitchen is a chef’s dream, with a 6 burner gas cooktop, a double oven, one of which is convection, a dishwasher, and a view. The kitchen has counter seating but you will probably have your coffee on the spacious lanai. The home is equipped with WiFi internet, three TV’s, Roku with Netflix and Hulu. One bedroom has a king sized bed, one- a queen, one- two twins, and there’s a convertible double futon couch available in the living room. It comfortably sleeps 6-8. We’re equipped with a washer and dryer, detergent included. It has a lovely garden with an outdoor shower for when you get back from beach. Come home and breathe in the fragrance from the mature Plumeria trees which surround the home.
There's one parking space and ample street parking is available.
Owners live below on the first floor and can speak English and Japanese.
The unit is on the second floor, and there are 12 stairs up to access it.
There is no air conditioning, but the home stays cool from the well designed cross breezes, fans in all rooms, and solar shades in the living and dining rooms.
Come relax and re-energize in this lovely Hawaiian home, enjoy unbelievable views and live Aloha.

Kaimuki getaway
We rented this house for six weeks. We had some friends and family stay with us over the course of our stay. We had lived in the area several years ago before moving to the mainland and know the location to be ideal, with close access to many restaurants and shops. We did cook some meals and found the kitchen to be well equipped. The hosts live on the first floor and were very responsive to our needs. The view, of course, is spectacular.

View of a lifetime
Great place to stay and more … Super view of Diamond Head, Waikiki, Downtown Honolulu and east towards Hawai Kai … Spectacular sunsets … extremely relaxing. Amenities were very close … We would recommend this home away from home to everyone looking for great value and an extraordinary experience … Kirsten is a great host and will keep you informed before and during your entire trip.

It grows on you
I loved this house from the get go. We stayed for a whole month. You will love the views from the deck. The whole house is big and roomy. There is no air conditioning, which my family had some trouble adjusting to, but by the end of the stay they did not want to leave! And Cristin brought extra fans and suggestions on how to keep the house cool for the heat of the day. Steep hills (comes with the view), big beautiful kitchen (ants greeted us, but again, comes with the territory-keep your kitchen clean and they go away). Authentic Hawaiian living is what you will get when you choose to stay here. It rained every day, but that just brought rainbows, and with the covered porch, you could sit outside and enjoy the views of the storms coming through. My only real complaint is the bus stop is at the front of the house. Convienient if you're using it, but loud if you're not. Lots of birds to listen to, we saw a parrot several times. And Cristin could not have been a better host! We would stay here again!

Comfort and a great view
Cristin was a wonderful host. She made the check in very easy and promptly answered our questions. Her home was very comfortable and spacious and the view from the patio was fabulous. The location was centrally located to many of the places we frequented. It was definitely as advertised!

The views!!!!!
We stayed at Maunalani Heights for 6 weeks, with friends and family coming for a week at a time. Cristin and Soo are outstanding hosts. From the time I made the reservation, Cristin’s communication was great. Super quick responses to our questions and always accommodating our needs. She shared local tips for shopping, markets and restaurants. The amenities were amazing, we did not need for anything! This was the best equipped kitchen and home we have ever stayed in. We hosted Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve with no trouble! The home was super clean, comfortable and cutely decorated. The lanai is amazing! The views!!!! From the sunrise, the ocean, Diamond Head to the sunsets!!! Fabulous! Loved it! The location worked great for us! We loved our stay there and will come again!
