It could not have been better...

I think everything was covered in other reviews, but I'd like to reiterate how kind and responsive Wade was. The place and location are beautiful and the home is in a relatively quiet area with everything that you might need relatively close by. Wade has virtually everything that you might need to enjoy the beach on hand. We definitely hope to return.

Hi Richard, we are glad you found the house to meet your family's needs. Yes, we have to admit the beach is one of the better ones on the island and it's like having your own private beach.

We had such a great time being together. We did all the things…. PCC, Pearl Harbor, snorkeling, paddle boarding— even jumped off a bridge while in Oahu. We absolutely loved the location of this home— the beach right in the backyard meant hours of fun!! The location was perfect— not too far from anything! We will definitely be back!!

We loved this house and loaction.

We loved this house and location to the LDS Temple and PCCC. There is a cute gift shope across the street and one down the street which we visited frequently as well as a 7 Eleven. Grocery/ drug store was a short drive away. House was right on the beach which was amazing! House had everything you needed to play in the water. The view was amazing and falling asleep to the crashing waves was the best. Would for sure stay here again.

Great host and great property

The property was exactly as described -- charming and right on the beach. It was spotless and well equipped. Two popular trailheads are just a half mile away, and Tamura food market is a mile away. Tamura has some of the best poke on the island. The host was the best we've ever had. He answered all our questions promptly and knowledgeably.

Convenient, safe, homey property.

This is a beachfront property whose location is convenient for accessing activities on both the North shore and southern part of the island. Grocery stores, beaches, food trucks and petrol stations are a short drive away. There is plenty of seating in the back patio for outdoor meals and visiting etc. Check in was very simple and our host communicated all instructions well in advance. The property is very clean and tidy. Would stay there again if we were to return to the island.

Simply breathtaking

Our family of 8 (our children are all adults now and some are married) had plenty of room to sprawl out and yet there were wonderful spaces outside and in the house for us to just be together. After a long day of exploring other parts of the island we felt like each night we were coming back home. What a true example of hospitality! We witnessed beautiful sunrises in our back yard and even caught a glimpse of Sandy the monk seal.

About the host

Hosted by Wade Nakashima

Host profile image

We love to travel and many times we stay at VRBO or Airbnb's. We love to stay outside the typical tourist locations and would rather experience the local lifestyle.

Therefore, we decided to share our house to allow travelers to experience the real Hawaii.

Why they chose this property

The home is located on a sandy beach that has minimal beach traffic. It's like having your own private beach in paradise. The large yard on the side is great for the kids or adults to toss a ball around or play. There is also a city park across the street if you need more area to play and has a basketball court. Sports balls will be available for your use.

Relax to the sound of the gently rolling waves. Sit on the patio enjoying the nice ocean breezes and/or lounge reading your favorite book. Let your cares drift away on this peaceful property.

From the patio, you can watch the kids play in the sand or swim.








.

What makes this property unique

This home is located close to Polynesian Cultural Center, Kualoa Ranch, Morman Temple, BYUH, Turtle Bay Resort and Golf Club.

Nearby Supermarkets include Tamuras and Foodland and Longs/CVS drugstore.

Many excellent local takeout and sitdown restaurants. Hauula souvenir and gift shop is right across the street.

Across the street is a city park that has a basketball court, playground, and softball/baseball/soccer/football field.

See the endangered monk seal come up to periodically rest on the beach. May also see manta rays or turtles in the bay or whales offshore. Snorkel around the reef to the sides of the house or fish from the yard.
