About Dan
On our first visit to Hawaii we knew we had found Paradise. Within 4 months, after searching all the islands, we purchased this Beach Front home. We were extremely lucky to find this home and this location. The house has 100 feet of beachfront and sits 42 feet back from the beachfront. Access to the 3 mile sand beach is across our manicured yard by a beach access on either side of our yard. The location also is directly into Honolulu, not neighborhoods to drive through or road changes to make. We are seemingly in the center of Kailua Town, (Farmers Market 5 blocks away. Whole Foods another 5 blocks.) yet so private you can spend your vacation here without seeing or hearing a car or any street noise. It is such a beautiful place we cannot keep it only for ourselves. We enjoy sharing this wonderful bit of Hawaii and it is fun making new friends from around the world. (Funny.....we live in Kailua "Town", but when you go to "town" in Hawaii you are going to Honolulu.)
Dan purchased this House in 2000
Why Dan chose Kailua
We strive to make our home reflect all that is beautiful and pleasant about Hawaii. We want our guests to have a easy and memorable vacation. We think the magic of visiting Kailua on the Windward side of Oahu is the best possible choice for a holiday. Live in a home that arguably has the best location and views in Hawaii. The drive over the Pali Highway or H-3 is magical. The charm and comforts of Kailua town. There are many colorful shops but yet all the amenities of a big town. The restaurants are delicious, and you can enjoy different cuisine every night and not choose a favorite. Need we mention the amazing beach literally at your front door. Kailua Beach is ranked as one of the nations premier beaches and it is Hawaii's safest. It's 3 miles of pristine white sands and blue waters are best viewed from our home.
What makes this House unique
Possibly the best beach access, the best beach, the best accessorized home, in the best town in Hawaii. We offer A Taste Of Hawaii----Last summer we hosted a family who was recommended to our home by a 'Hawaiian Kahuna' friend because 'this is the house that best represents what he wanted his vacationing mainland friends to experience in Hawaii'. We comply with the laws of the City and County of Honolulu with a 30 day rental of our home.

Paradise in pandemic
Thank you for an amazing stay in an amazing location. Perfect place to “shelter in place” for our spring break. The amount of games, equipment, and cooking supplies blew us away.
Thank you Yvette. We enjoyed hosting your group and are glad you found all our yard, beach, and house toys useful. I am was glad when I saw the current situation did not inhibit your enjoyment of Hawaii and our beautiful state. and that you all made the best of everything.
Hope to see you again soon.

Perfect Beach House
The location of this house could not be more perfect! It was beyond expectation in its cleanliness, amenities, and convenience. Everything you could possibly want for your vacation was right there. Dan and Virginia have thought of every detail to make you comfortable. This house is a big slice of paradise and we recommend it highly to anyone who wants to be on Oahu, but not in Honolulu. Kailua is a great vacation spot and this house is all you could ever ask for!
Beach Stay
Lovely property directly on the beach. Well equipped for water sports. Owners were very easy to deal with.
Thank you for your nice comments. We want to offer our guests access to everything that is fun with a beach house so we equip our house very well for sports/play equipment and accessories. Guests have mentioned previously that the accessories alone, that other's don't provide, is worth half the price of the total rental. Dan
Outstanding location on a perfect beach
You really cannot find a better location on Oahu. Everything about the home and the neighborhood makes you feel like you are part of the local culture from the first day. And, of course, the owner makes a big difference, being attentive and helpful while still ensuring you have the privacy and relaxation you came for. Thank you for a fantastic vacation.
Aloha Bill,
Thank you for your kind review. It is arguably the best location on Oahu for a home. On the beach, 180++ degree views, a place where you can spend a week or two and never see or hear a vehicle while you are within blocks of the center of Kailua town, several Farmers Markets and many supermarket and shopping choices. Meanwhile you are at the ocean end of the Pali Highway. The other end of Pali Highway 15 miles is Aloha Tower, in the center of Honolulu. Easy access to Waikiki, Honolulu, and many of the best historic sites of Hawaii.

Beautiful view
Everything you needed was there. The view was amazing.
Our biggest problem was dealing with HomeAways billing they were having a hard time splitting up credit card payments.
Location
Our Beach Front home is in Kailua,Hawaii on the windward side of Oahu Island. Oahu means "The Gathering Place" and Oahu is the center of Hawaii's business activity, & government, contains 80% of Hawaii's population, and includes Honolulu, and Waikiki. Our home in Kailua is 15 miles across the island from this activity, yet is only about 30 minutes from the airport and all the world class activities, entertainment, and culture of Honolulu.
To and From Honolulu is usually on the PALI HIGHWAY, (or Hwy 61) The Pali Highway, to me, starts on the windward side of Oahu at the stoplight nearest my home then windes 15 miles across the island and through Chinatown, downtown (Central Business District), and ends the Leeward side of Oahu, at Aloha Tower, in Honolulu Harbor.
When traveling between Honolulu and Kailua, be sure to stop at:
1) The Pali Lookout: This is where King Kamehameha defeated Oahu's Army during his quest to conquer all the Hawaiian Island. The views are great.
2) Take the Old Pali Road through the jungle and rain forests, It is beautiful and very tropical.
3) Almost in Honolulu, but on the Pali Hwy is Queen Emma's Summer Palace.
4) In Honolulu, visit Iolani Palace, the only Royal Palace in the USA.
5) There is an endless list of excitement and activities in Honolulu.
Our home is just a block off the road that within a few hours, circles the island. Start your NORTH SHORE bound "Round the Island" trip by taking a Right off our private drive onto Kalaheo Drive. Kalaheo continue on to the Ocean Frontage road, Kaneohe Bay Drive, and then on to Kamehameha Highway. On your North Shore drive you should visit the famous and interesting places like the Macadamia Nut Farm, and the Kuaola Ranch where activities and beauty abound. These are the settings for many movie & TV shows. Don't forget to visit The Polynesian Cultural Center. Continue on to visit the North Shore's famous beaches, surf spots, and sightseeing places. On your way to the North Shore there are places to visit the turtles resting and the Monk Seals sunbathing. (Maybe this should be a two day or even a week long trip, but it always remains a short drive back to the house.)
EAST END OF ISLAND Taking a left turn (Opposite Direction) off our street onto Kalaheo Drive there is a shorter drive that takes you around the East end of Oahu. On this road you will pass the Makapuu Lighthouse hiking Trail, a Blow Hole viewing pull off, and snorkeling at Hanauma Bay. Travel on into Hawaii Kai and/or Honolulu.
FOR A SPECIAL TREAT on a rainy day take H3, Likelike Highway (Hwy 63) or the Pali Hwy. (H3 is best) across the island and see hundreds of 1000 ft waterfalls. (On any day there are at least of few.)
One of the islands more famous hikes is to the beautiful views from the Lanakai Pill Boxes. This is a short and uneventful hike (don't give up on the first 100 yards) you can start from the house by walking towards Lanakai, or if you are tired of beach walking, drive the mile to Lanakai and park across the road from the Mid-Pac Country Club.
Heiau's are plentiful on Oahu, from ancient warshiping ruins, royalty birthing temples and more.
Our home is on Kailua Beach, just 42 feet across a perfectly manicured lawn to 3 miles of tropical waters and sand Beach.
Kailua Town is a charming beach town with many great restaurants and great shopping. There are some particularity good upscale restaurants along with delicious casual dining. The area has many grocery and drug stores and other services to make your stay easy. There are two Farmers Markets each week within a few blocks from home. We are uniquely located in the middle of Kailua Town, Whole Foods is the nearest market. Yes our home is secluded enough that you will not see or hear a car or traffic from the house for the duration of your stay. Access to Kailua town (and to Honolulu) is easy, no more than two corners to turn.
There is always beach activities to watch or join. In addition to sunbathing and beach novels there is great boogie boarding, kayaking, windsurfing, kitesurfing, stand up paddling, and other ocean sports to enjoy.
Surprisingly enough you will often have the beach to yourself. Kalama Beach Park is a mile in one direction, Kailua Beach Park a mile in the other but it is pure beach to the beach parks and beyond.
Kailua is the perfect vacation spot, out of the hustle and bustle of Waikiki but a nice and comfortable community with amenities galore. Kailua Beach is known as a favorite among locals for its incredible beauty and peacefulness. We are just a 30 minute drive from many of the local tourist attractions like Pearl Harbor, but you will feel a world away while enjoying our home.
Golf: Some say Hawaii is one big golf course. All courses on Oahu are easily accessible from our home.
Closest courses:
MId Pac Country Club-2.3 miles
Lauana HIlls Country Club-3m
Olomana Golf Links-5.7m
