The best spot in Waimanalo

This property is truly amazing. Beautiful, clean, not-too-close/far from everything, and situated at perfect beach location. It was a great choice for our multi-generational family trip given the separate cottage space. We had the had the most wonderful time and we’d love to come back in the future!

Best Vacation Ever

Our family of 8 stayed at this property and it could not have been better. Perfect location as it was large enough for our family of 8 and set in a location that had almost zero tourist places close by. Pretty much everything close by was a pure local establishment. While the weather allowed the main house to stay comfortable with the windows open it would have been better if the main area and the master bedroom upstairs had air conditioning. Other than that we could not have asked for a better place. It had beach gear to boot. We would certainly stay here again.

Amazing Stay

This was the perfect property for our family vacation. The house is what you would expect from an authentic Hawaiian property. It was well stocked with plates, silverware, towels, etc. which is not the norm of all properties that I’ve stayed at. The location was away from the chaos of the city which aided in our ability to be relaxed. Morning coffee while watching the sunrise over the ocean was an every day occurrence. Being able to have the beach literally at your back door was amazing. There are so many great things about this property that I can’t possibly name them all. Thank you to the owner for an unbelievable experience.

Amazing experience away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist scene. Location on the expansive sandy beach is unsurpassed. Falling asleep to the sounds of the waves and cool ocean breeze, priceless! Family friendly with all the amenities needed for a relaxing comfortable retreat.

Great sunrises!!

This place was the perfect place for our family. The beach is one of the best beaches in Oahu for swimming/body boarding. The place was nice and clean. Great location, not too busy compared to other parts of island. BBQ grill pits worked great for all of our cooking! Thanks so much for everything!!

Amazing House

Our family gathered here for a week and had a really fantastic time. The property is great from the front yard where kids can play to the large gathering areas inside to the extremely easy access to a beautiful beach. The neighborhood is also very walkable. Sherry was easy to communicate with and very responsive. I’m very grateful we were able to rent this house and make family memories together.

Your Own Personal Oasis

This is the second time we have rented this property. Sherry, the owner, couldn't be more helpful and accommodating. The property is well stocked, and the location is excellent. Waimanalo is a great little town with a couple of small restaurants and a McDonald's for the kids. The beach is pristine and the sand is as soft as you could imagine. The family spent most of their time in the ocean, boogie boarding and wave jumping. I have no doubt we will rent again as both times it has been an excellent experience.

Best sunrises in Hawaii

Loved everything about this house. Spacious, private, loved walking off the back porch into one of the most beautiful beaches imaginable. The constant breeze off the water will keep you cool and comfortable. Sherry the owner is a dream to work with and will help accommodate any need. Very clean and homey. Other then a minor jelly sting which the house was equipped with apple cider vinegar to remedy the ouch, we had no issues. Every aspect of the house is warm and welcoming and we will be back in the future.

Book it!!

Do yourself a favor and book this house! Where do I begin? You won’t find a better house with a better location! Right on one of the most gorgeous beaches, located in a quiet neighborhood with little traffic making the beach basically all yours. My favorite part?- waking up and looking right out into the turquoise water. Sherry is an awesome host and makes sure you have everything you need. Great food within walking distance, as well as a little grocery store with all your basics. Our group of 8 fit perfectly and could not have had a more amazing vacation. We hope maybe one day we can all go back!

Beautiful Beach

We loved our view. Location was perfect. Ocean views from the house on both levels. Quiet beach and boogie boarding all week. We enjoyed watching the sunrise every morning. The kitchen is well stocked. We had everything we needed. The couches and beds we’re comfortable. The house is older and the upstairs does not have AC, but the wind blowing through the screens kept us cool at night. We didn’t use the tub in the master bathroom, so outdoor shower was a hit. There were some bugs, but I think older properties next to the beach will have bugs. Most of what we saw was already dead. Sheri was great to work with, accessible and attentive. We would stay here again. Thank you for sharing your home!

Nice but could be better maintained

Poor property maintenance allowed Multiple coachroaches in the house. I saw more coach roaches during my first four days at this property than I have see in my entire 62 years. Coachroaches are very common to Hawaii, but I have never had any problems during 20 years a visits to the island.We put down a over the counter bug barrier and sprayed on day 4 and had no further problems during the stay. The doors to the outside are made of wood and have deteriorated leading to poor sealing . This can be remedied. Location was beautiful and the house was spacious

Pros: Beach front! Excellent kitchen to cook in with plenty of kitchen equipment. Amazing dinning room. Great set up for movie night! Functional grill. Plenty of towels and beach toys. Older but comfortable home. Quiet. Cons: Windows and doors are older, can be challenging to open and close. Construction zone across the street is loud during the day. Some of the neighborhood is sketch near Waimānalo beach. Bathroom showers are TINY but outdoor shower is great. Overall two thumbs up, would stay here again!

Cousins Christmas

A well-maintained Hawaii home in an outstanding location. It was perfect for our two families with four young adults between us. Great areas in the house and yard for hanging out, and for playing cards and board games. The beach is SO close! We enjoyed sunrises, beach play (boogie boards provided & a couple of beach chairs), the Makapu’u trail, Kona Brewery Hawaii Kai, Island Snow, lots of hikes, and surf lessons in Waikiki. We would recommend grouping any outings to Waikiki in order to maximize time at the house! It is a peaceful, beautiful retreat. Owner very responsive to questions. Mahalo!

About the host

Hosted by Sherry Broder

Host profile image
The Broder Van Dyke Family has been renting the Waimanalo Hawaiian Sunrise property for over 30 years and been a member of the Waimanalo Community for over 40 years. Come visit this secluded island white sand beach paradise for your next vacation.

Why they chose this property

Why We Chose Waimānalo

We fell in love with Waimānalo decades ago because it feels like the Hawai‘i of old— a quiet seaside community where neighbors know each other, keiki (kids) still ride their bikes to the shave-ice stand, and every sunrise is a small celebration. The beach itself sealed the deal: five unbroken miles of fine, white sand framed by turquoise water on one side and emerald Pali cliffs on the other. There are no high-rises, no nightlife noise—just the rolling sound of gentle waves and birdsong at dawn.

What we enjoy most is the balance: we can pick up farm-fresh produce at the weekend farmers’ market, grab plate lunches from family-run cafés, or drive 15 minutes to Kailua for boutiques and restaurants—yet the moment we turn back onto Laumilo Street, the pace slows and the sky opens wide. Even after all these years we still pause to watch the sea change colors at sunset or to spot honu (sea turtles) cruising the shoreline.

In short, Waimānalo offers the rare mix of pristine natural beauty and genuine local culture—exactly the kind of place we dreamed of raising our family and exactly the kind of experience we’re excited to share with our guests.

What makes this property unique

What Makes Our Property Unique

• True, Legal Beachfront Stay – Fewer than 150 single-family homes on O‘ahu are fully licensed TVUs; ours holds NUC #90/TVU-0366 (Conv. ID 1990/NUC-1690), so you enjoy a genuine feet-in-the-sand experience without the 90-day minimum stay rule that limits most rentals.

• “Double Dwelling” Flexibility – A three-bedroom main house plus a detached studio cottage lets multi-generation families or two couples travel together while still having personal space.

• Sunrise-to-Starlight Views – From the living room and primary suite you watch the sun peek over Rabbit Island; from the lanai you count the stars undimmed by city lights—magic you rarely find this close to Honolulu.

• Old-Hawai‘i Neighborhood Vibe – Waimānalo remains blissfully free of high-rises; instead you’re greeted by friendly neighbors, a roadside farm stand, and miles of uncrowded white sand.

• Thoughtful Extras – Central A/C, gig-speed Wi-Fi, outdoor hot/cold shower, beach gear closet, and a lush yard big enough for sunset yoga sessions or children’s games—all maintained by a family that lives just up the road and treats every guest like a longtime friend.
