Beautiful view
Great location and view right on the water. The house is spacious and very well stocked. We cooked/barbecued quite a bit and had everything we needed. Mornings on the patio with coffee is a must. The hosts are exceptional and very easy to work with. Plenty of restaurants and shopping nearby. We will stay here again.

Koko Circle Getaway
Our favorite thing about this place was our gorgeous view, both from the living/dining area and the master bedroom. The whole area was picturesque and safe for walking. Amenities, such as restaurants, and grocery stores even the renowned Hanauma Bay were close by, or a short car ride away. Our hosts were exceptionally accommodating and queries were answered by text, in minutes. The 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths and large living space made living with 6 people, of 3 generations possible. We appreciated being in a quiet area, yet only about half an hour away from Waikiki/downtown area. If Honolulu is your destination, we would recommend this place to stay!

Great Location and Safe Community
We had a great stay, and I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a feel of Hawaii life. The owners are fantastic, communicate well and handle concerns quickly. There are three bedrooms upstairs and plenty of room downstairs. Only the master bedroom has A/C but it does cool the room quickly. The other two bedrooms have fans which were fine when we stayed in December. The back sliding doors open to a large grassy shared area which rarely had people on it. This was a great view through the day. The community is basically a private island with one entrance and a tight group of residents. This friendly group made us feel safe and welcome. The pool is literally a two minute walk, and we went almost every day. We had the pool to ourselves 9/10 times we went. We also loved the sunsets in the pool. Hawaii Kai is a great spot to vacation. There are plenty of great restaurants, stores, groceries, and even five minutes from Costco.

About the host

Hosted by Alan and Erin

Host profile image
My wife Erin and I (Alan) are avid travelers and love meeting new people. Alan was born and raised in Silicon Valley, and aside from 4 years spent in New England, has lived here his whole life. Erin is originally from Taipei, Taiwan, and moved to Silicon Valley in 2003.

We're fluent in English and Mandarin Chinese, and Alan is, according to his language program "20% fluent in Spanish." Our golden retriever Coby is teaching us Dog Language as well, but we haven't progressed too far beyond "Woof."

Why they chose this property

We love this friendly community / neighborhood with Hawaiian Ohana spirit. The location offers the convenience and amenities of a city without the hustle and bustle. Wake up every morning with the view of the water front, Koko head, the sound of bird singing and the breeze flowing through the house. Its beauty and tranquility makes it a perfect place for vacationing, working remotely, rejuvenating and be inspired.

When it's time to play, East Honolulu is the beginning of a scenic drive route 72 where Hanauma Bay, Makapu’u Lighthouse, Sandy Beach and several local beaches are only 5 to 10 minute drive away. Koko Crater trail is a great place to hike with breathtaking 360 degree view from the top. For golfers, Hawaii Kai golf course is 5 minute drive away. Waikiki is only 15 minute drive away.

We love to come here to be inspired, to recharge, relax and re-energize; as well as to spend time with our loved ones, to create beautiful memories.

What makes this property unique

This is how you live and experience Oahu like a Kama'aina (local).

Start the day with breakfast at the private lanai overlooking the water. It is therapeutic. We provide exercise mat, yoga mats for your daily exercise, or you can simply go for a walk, a run, a hike, a swim, around of golf or paddle.

When it's time to catch up on some work, the standard Wi-Fi internet service would allow you to work on your laptop anywhere around the house, including the lanai. Need a quiet place to take a Zoom call? Or need a larger computer monitor to be more comfortable and productive? The upstair bedroom has you covered.

While enjoying the serene surroundings, this excellent location allows you to easily access shopping (Costco), ameneties and local attractions. And whenever you feel like experiencing the city life, we are 15 minute drive away from Waikiki.

The close proximity to east Oahu's famous coastal attractions encourages us to be more active and spend more time outdoor. We also enjoy the easy access to several local farmers markets, where you can truly experience the local food, produce and community.

The house itself is a cool place to enjoy the magic the island has to offer. In addition to the water view, every morning I would walk to the guest bedrooms windows to watch the cloud rolling over from the top of the mountains. If you take morning walks, the sunrise from the Koko Isle bridge is absolutely stunning. Similar to many neighbors who have lived here for years, I could never get enough of the beautiful sunset that looks different everyday, where you can enjoy from the lanai and the water front.

The common areas for this home include a swimming pool, community boating docks to launch your kayak, paddle board and other water toys. Several water sport activity clubs and rental shops are in the shopping centers nearby. Rent a boat, a kayak or standup paddle board and you can sail into the ocean.
