Excellent option to go off the beaten path

This property is a great option for those who want to wander a bit from busyness of Waikiki and check out the less touristy parts of Oahu. The unit is right across the beach and beside a nice restaurant with an epic view of the sunset. Lorretta was very easy to reach and was super accommodating, making sure we had everything we needed. We had access to all their beach equipment (toys, umbrellas, boogie boards, etc). Overall a great stay!

Close to Amenities

Great stay! This house was conveniently located next to several amenities (i, e. walkable to beach, grocery, McDonald’s and restaurant on beach). We enjoyed having lunch and watching the whales, dolphins and turtles swimming by the beach. While the location was great, please know there are several steps leading into the house. This was tough for my parents (age 72) to go up and down. All else was as expected. Great time, great location, great host communication.

Great stay

Our favorite part was being a literal one-two minute walk to the beach, and also all the beach equipment that was available for us to use. Beach chairs, umbrellas, kids toys, beach cart, stand up paddleboards, etc. The house also had a ton of baby-related equipment, including pack and plays and a bath lounger for giving baby a bath. Loretta was the best! Very helpful and always available if we had questions. 10/10!

Wonderful place to stay in Oahu

Our family of 8 loved our stay here. We were warmly greeted by Loretta, and she was so kind and helpful for our entire stay. The apartment was clean and nice. We appreciated the access we had to use the beach equipment, the ping pong table and the laundry. It was really nice being so close to the beach, too! The only thing that was a bit tricky for us was that there is only one shower, but we worked it out. And for all the other conveniences of Loretta's place, it was worth it. It's also a bit of a drive to other popular areas on the island, but we didn't mind. It was fun seeing Oahu as we drove to our destinations. I would definitely recommend staying here!!

Nice place off the beaten path

This is a wonderful place to stay with short walk to beach and "toys" to take with you. Paddle boards, surf boards, coolers, chairs. Very nice to have these things available. Inside was clean and tidy and very comfortable. Kitchen stocked and all pots/pans, etc. would need to cook your meals. I read many comments on AC, what you need to understand is that houses in Hawaii were built without AC until recently. I have not been in a house there with central AC. There are AC units in two rooms and if you work them properly the place stays very comfortable. If we come back to Ohau we will stay here for sure! Thanks for having us!!

Great Family Setup

This was our first time on Oahu and we really enjoyed our time in Wainane after the busyness of Waikiki. Location was great… in particular the beach is amazing! The unit itself was clean and had a great layout for our family of 4. Parking was easy and all of the beach toys and chairs were a huge bonus (after having to rent some equipment at a different spot this became very evident). There are a few restaurants and shops around but if that is the sole focus of your trip, you may be better served in a more central location. We only got caught in traffic once and found making our way around easy. Loretta answered a question we had promptly and was very easy to communicate with. The only point of note is that not all the bedrooms have AC but they do have fans. We did not have any issues sleeping but not sure how warm it would get in the hotter months. Thank you for a wonderful stay and we’d be happy to come again.

Enjoyed the location in spite of quirks!

We really enjoyed access to the beach and the Beach House restaurant. The neighborhood is a bit quirky, but all in all very good; you might want to be used to, or get used to, chickens/roosters and some overnight noise with the military kiosk nearby. Loretta was very communicative and helpful. Also we did get to use some of the boogie boards and had some fun with them on another beach. I was super sad to learn that Hanauma Bay now requires advance tickets and they sell out, so we never got there as hoped (this however has nothing to do with Loretta's place!). So yes we enjoyed it!

Such a well appointed, pleasant, and comfortable location for a family get together! The full kitchen was great for our various cooks to show their stuff. The downstairs patio, complete with ping pong was a great and breezy hang out. And the 2 minute walk to the beautiful beach really rounded out the amenities. Highly recommended! We hope to be back.

Wonderful Hosts

We wanted to stay in Waianae close to our son's wedding venue. The home comfortably sleeps 6 adults with 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths. There are 2 sofa's in the large living area that can sleep another couple of people. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need to prepare meals, the lanai was a great place to grill and hang out! Ms. Loretta and Frank allowed us to use any beach items they had (chairs, umbrellas, coolers, boogie boards and surf boards, etc.) The location is excellent with the Beach House Restaurant and a beautiful beach 50 years from the front door. Your within driving distance to so many beautiful beaches, the pillbox trails, north shore and pearl harbor. Thank you for making our trip so memorable!

Restful and Relaxing

If you are looking for a relaxing beach getaway removed from the hustle and bustle of a tourist city THIS IS IT. Lorretta was a fabulous host. She was quick to respond and easy to work with. She and her husband were so friendly and I enjoyed our interactions with them. I am so happy that I decided to rent this time on the island. I had some friends and family staying as well. There were a total of 4 of us and we had MORE THAN ENOUGH room. We were so close to the beach and saw many turtles in the water. Many mornings we started walking the beach before we headed out for a hike or other adventure. SInce this is on the wes side, we caught some really great sunsets. It was truly paradise. This would be such a cool space for a family with kids! This spot is close to Kaneana Cave (Makua Cave), Ka’ena point hike, and the Maili Pillbox hike. The Ko Olina Lagoons are also close, but driving into Honolulu, North Shore, Kaneohe will be a bit of a drive, just something to be aware of. Overall this was such a wonderful stay, and I am looking forward to the next time. Would NOT hesitate to stay at this place again! Mahalo!

Home was beautiful, clean, and had everything we needed. Especially for our little kiddos. The hosts were wonderful, friendly, and very accommodating. It was a little farther away from tourist attractions, however driving around the beautiful island made up for that.

Hidden gem

I cannot say enough good things about this place. Good location close to restaurants, grocery and beaches. The house is equipped with literally everything you need. Check out their fridge first before going to the store many people before us have left items so you don't have to buy again. From housewears to beach items they got it all. Auntie Loretta and Uncle Frank are the best! I feel like Im like Ive been with family all week. I will miss them and their 2 boxers very much. We definitely made more family while staying here. We will definitely be coming back.

About the host

Hosted by Lorretta Damas

Host profile image
Both born and raised in Waianae, we have been together since high school and married for 38 years with two, now adult, children and 5 grandchildren. Our property has been in our family for 3 generations and we sincerely believe it is the best place on earth. We love to travel ourselves, are active tennis and ping pong players, and also frequent the beach we live on. We are both of mixed race and very proud of our Hawaiian ancestry. We speak english and will not mind using translations apps to communicate when needed. We are excited about the opportunity to meet new people, especially those who are new to Hawaii or new to Waianae and sharing this place we love so others can create memories that will last a lifetime.

Why they chose this property

This property is the closest to the most beautiful beach in Hawaiii (owner's bias). A beach which is protected by full time lifeguards (8 AM - 4 PM), right next to a military recreation center so guards are always present. Check out the links in the video section. Note the calm side of the beach is referred to as "swim side" while the "surf side" boast waves during higher surf periods. Both sides are separated by a jetty.

What makes this property unique

The perfect property to support your long days at the beach with a home cooked meal (full kitchen) and cool, rested nights (air conditioning included).

We are happy to put you in contact with providers of surf lessons, rental equipment, dolphin tours, charters, etc.
