About this property

BEACH FRONT KAILUA ESTATE, OCEAN VIEWS, HUGE LUSH PRIVATE HISTORIC PROPERTY

October 2024 updates: Newly constructed upstairs deck, Brand new window ac unit in master bedroom, new patio furniture, new sectional couch in living room.

Our beach estate is located on over an acre of land, just one house back (a quick 30 second walk down a sandy beach path) to one of the best white sand beaches in Hawaii. This is the only beach in Hawaii to consistently show up as one of the top ten beaches in the world lists. Unlike most beaches in Hawaii our beach is mostly free of tourists so you can actually have space and relax. On weekdays you will virtually have the entire beach to yourself!

Our 2200 sq foot home neighbors some of the finest properties on Oahu, just doors down from where the Obama family stays when they come to Hawaii. One of the very few properties that is actually a LEGAL vacation rental and has been since the early 90's, so you can be assured that your rental will be available when you arrive!

Our property offers the utmost relaxation and tranquility. Feel the white sand between your toes, bask in the warm Hawaiian sun, dive into the crystal clear aqua waters, and be glad you've made the best choice for your Hawaiian vacation!

Our two story house offers Ocean and Mountain Views, one house back from Kailua beach, 30 second walk down a sandy beach path. We are also just about a 5 mine drive to the famous Lanikai Beach. Escape to Kailua, a small beach town located just 20 minutes from Honolulu and Waikiki, truly away from it all!

Our home features high speed wireless internet, two flat screen tvs, Hawaiian koa wood cabinets, marble, and crown molding, modeled after the historic residence next door. There is a NEW window A/C unit in the master bedroom (it's the only bedroom that doesn't face the ocean) and screens on all windows and fans throughout the house.

There are two large lanais one upstairs (with ocean and mountain views) and one downstairs. Brand new deck as of October 2024. The house is situated on an acre of land with lush landscaping, allowing ample room to lay out in the Hawaiian sun or let the kids play. The yard has beautiful plumeria trees, red hibiscus bushes, orchids, and of course, a coconut grove.

The house has one King bed, two queen beds and two twin beds. We also provide a pack n play if needed. It has two full bathrooms, one with a tub/shower combo the other with a walk in shower. The master bedroom (king bed and a twin) and one full bathroom are located upstairs where the kitchen, dining room and living room are. The other two bedrooms and second bathroom are located on the first floor. The second bedroom has a queen bed and the third bedroom has a queen and a twin.

The kitchen is stocked with everything you need to cook. It has a full sized oven, four burner cooktop, refrigerator/freezer, microwave, dishwasher, toaster and coffee maker. The kitchen has four barstools, perfect for hanging out while meals are prepared or for casual breakfasts. The dining room table seats six and there is also an outdoor patio set complete with tables and chairs with an ocean view. New sectional couch in living room.

A full sized washer and dryer are located inside the house for your convenience as well.

We have one security camera located outside to the left of the front door that monitors the driveway to ensure guest and property safety.

Primary Guest

Crystal was very helpful. Great location and close to the beach. Lots of room and great view of the ocean and hearing of the ocean waves. Only AC in master suite not a problem at all. Windows open down stairs and patio door open upstairs provided for a nice breeze. Would most definitely book again. Mahalo.

Family Vacation

checkin process was simple and efficient house was totally ready for us. When we arrived. Communication with the property owner was timely. The home itself is a lovely historic property near the ocean with easy beach access. We actually left some prescription glasses at the home which they are sending to us thankfully. All in all, we really enjoyed our week in Kailua.

Stunning home

Absolutely loved this property! Very clean and spacious home that comfortably accommodated my family of 4. The backyard and both patios served as a great reprieve from sun on the beach. Ocean views from second floor balcony and just steps from the beach which was wasn’t crowded at all-it felt like our own private oasis! Can’t wait to return!

Here for daughter’s wedding

Host was excellent with responses and clearly conveying expectations. Property was very pretty and along the beach access our daughter normally uses to get to the beach. Kitchen well accessorized with cooking needs, spices, etc. Our space was shared by family of 2 older adults and 2 younger adults. Stayed for a week of enjoyment, both before and after the wedding.

This home is ideally located for those who want a great beach vacation. Just steps away from the beach - the best beach on Oahu I might add, with a relatively short walk to town if you are so inclined. Our family loved this home and we would definitely return.

5 Star Property/Highly Recommend

Beautiful home that is steps from one of the most beautiful private beaches in Hawaii. It had an amazing back porch, grassy play area for our toddler grandson with beach toys included. Owner has thought of everything you need during your stay and even recommended restaurants and shopping. The cool ocean breeze off the water kept the home cool. You can see the water & beach from the upstairs lanai. We had an extraordinary week stay and will definitely be back again. We would highly recommend for a group/family stay.

Outstanding Beach Property

The property is a few steps from Kailua Beach, a 2.5-mile beach that, except for some weekend days, has very few people. Staying here is like staying on an outer island but with the conveniences of Honolulu when you want them. Great for long, peaceful beach walks. It is about 30 minutes from the airport. There are many nearby good restaurants for dine-in or take out. Grocery and other stores are convenient.

Staying here was like a dream

This Kailua house is beautiful and cared for in a loving and meticulous manner. The yard is beautiful with both ocean and mountain views; the house has antique hardwood features, comfortable beds, and is steps away from a beautiful beacch. Our family enjoyed our stay - there was plenty of room, toys for the kids and a warm outdoor shower. Beautiful all around.

The house was not equipped with bbq ,a/c after a long day of activities came back to a oven house, had to buy fans because the ones they had didn’t work as well this property is not worth the 7,000 dollars I spent to bring my family there also we had to take the garbage cans out and do made work before we checked out.

Perfect family vacation spot

We could not have had a better stay! We had a toddler with us, and having the flexibility to walk back and forth to the beach whenever we wanted was incredible. The house was exactly what we were looking for - clean, comfortable, so convenient to the beach and to Kailua and beyond. It was well-stocked with everything we needed...plenty of beach towels, beach toys, well-stocked kitchen. And the views!!! We loved sitting around the table on the deck watching the sunrise or the stars. Perfect place to just hang out together. Hopefully we will make it back someday... Mahalo Crystal and family for everything!

The location of the house is very close to the beautiful beach. The small town of Kailua offers all convenience and charm of living in a quiet, friendly seaside town. The hostess, Crystal, is very considerate and responsive. The property manager is also super helpful and friendly. Some minor issues with the appliances were addressed in a timely manner.

A spot in paradise - with minor improvements due

Excellent location - easy access to beach; room outlay is very practical and homey. Caveats: - no investments in interior for a long time - plumbing is not up to scratch - loose taps, water spillage, first floor bathroom - shower does not work - very limited outside (porch and garden) furniture - table on porch at the limit (rusty) However: truly a paradise lime spot Thanks

Nice older house at a place just about on the sand...one house back

Enjoyed this property located a minute walk across to the ocean. Nice quaint little relaxed town. The house could use a deep cleaning, the kitchen counter needs replaced as it's stained (Soaftsoap could fix that) but there's a horrible burn spot under the toaster, and the upper deck needs to be strengthened. It's very unsteady and weak. All in all it's a nice place to stay while on vacation. If you can get past the minor imperfections it's well worth the visit.

Location is the reason to stay here

This property is very close to the beach but it is not waterfront as the listing implies. There is a house being constructed in front of it that impedes the view. Also, the house is NOT air conditioned even though the amenities list says it is. There is 1 ac unit in the 1 upstairs bedroom but none of the common spaces nor the 2 downstairs BRs have A/C. The house needs updating. I expected a lot more given the cost.

About the host

Hosted by Crystal Knysh

Host profile image
My parents own our lovely Kailua beach house. They purchased the property in approximately 1984 and my dad actually built the vacation rental beach house when I was a child.

Why they chose this property

What makes this property unique

The main house next door is a registered Historic Residence, built in 1928. It originally was the Mark A. Robinson family beach house, the family who has owned the island of Ni'ihau since 1864. When my dad built the guest house he mirrored the architecture and design of the main house. Staying on this property is truly enjoying a piece of history.
