About this property

Island Life Retreat-Ocean Front-Beach Access

BEACHFRONT • GROUND FLOOR • WALK-OUT
Step straight from your lanai onto a quiet stretch of white sand—your own authentic Hawaiian paradise. The reef-protected turquoise waters are calm and perfect for swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking, or simply floating in the warm Pacific. Snorkel right in front of the condo to spot tropical fish and sea turtles, or enjoy the serenity of a private beach with no public access—away from the crowds.
Your Island Escape
This well full ocean view 1-bedroom, 1-bath condo (812 sq. ft.) offers plenty of space to relax. Being on the ground floor means easy walk-out access, open green space, and unobstructed ocean views. Start your mornings with coffee on the oceanfront patio, where magical sunrises light up the horizon, and unwind in the evening to the soothing sound of waves breaking on the distant reef.
Sleep Comfortably
Bedroom: King-size Sealy Plush bed
Living room: Queen-size Serta Euro-Top Murphy bed with sunrise views and ocean sounds
Location Highlights
10 minutes → Polynesian Cultural Center
5 minutes → Hau‘ula Loop Trail
20 minutes → Turtle Bay Resort (dining & golf)
45 minutes → Honolulu Airport
Close to Kualoa Ranch, local food trucks, and scenic coastal drives
Please Note
Renovation Update
The building is currently undergoing repiping work, which affects all ground-floor units. This may temporarily impact some ocean views, and the pool area is closed during construction (weekdays, 8:30 am–5:00 pm).
To reflect this, we’ve deeply discounted our nightly rate through the end of the year. Guests still enjoy direct beachfront access, walk-out convenience, and all the comforts of a well-equipped condo. If you’re out exploring the island or spending your days at the beach, this work may not affect you as much, and most visitors find it has little impact on their stay.
Why You’ll Love It
This isn’t a luxury resort with spas—it’s a true beachfront condo with all the comforts of home, designed for travelers seeking peace, authenticity, and connection to the ocean. Come experience “No Worries” island living at its best.

Fantastic

The property is very close to the beach where turtles sun bathe every morning. We also saw a monk seal playing in the water, and we were only there 2 nights. The ocean was very calm and crystal clear. There is a box with snorkel gear on the porch, plenty of beach towels and beach umbrellas. The kitchen is stocked with pantry basics and much more compared to many rentals I have stayed in.

Great Condo!

We were looking for a quiet stay, away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki and this was perfect! The condo was well appointed with all of the things we could need. All of the items we needed for the beach (towels, boogie boards, chairs, umbrella, grass mats etc) as well as everything necessary to cook a great meal. We were absolutely comfortable here and hope to return.

Can’t wait to return !

Our stay was amazing. The condo was equipped with everything imaginable. Size was perfect for myself, adult son and teen. We had plenty of room still. Once you open the front door the view is amazing. There was some construction going on in the outside but we looked beyond since we were in paradise. Kim the management was great and helped us with all questions

July family vacation

We had an amazing time. The condo had everything we needed beach towels, beach chairs, toys, umbrella etc. The best part the beach was just few feet away and so was the pool. We were able to go back and forth without the hassle of going up an elevator. Beach is beautiful. We did see a turtle during our stay. Condo is close to yummy food trucks. Location is family friendly and laid back. Overall highly recommend it.

Kim was our host and she was dynamite.The condo is dated but so what? You're on the ground floor and literally 25 yards from the water.We had one sea turtle come up and took a 15 hour nap on the sand right at one of the steps. He finned his way back to the water overnight.The only foot traffic is from this condo complex. The dryer dries waaaay fast and the freezer freezes almost as fast.There's an O.G. store - Ching's - two minutes down the road with bare essentials as well as liquor. Very close to them is Kaya's Store. Not good, but inside the store is Kaya's Kitchen with some huge breakfast dishes. This is where you should get your Loco Moco. You gotta do this if you're in Hawaii. You don't have to get a Loco Moco here, but you gotta get it somewhere. The only downside - and it's the only downside - is that there's no AC. Just two ceiling fans and three stand up fans. We would just move the fans into the bedroom at night, take a quick ocean dip, go in and take a cold shower and hit the hay. And we did this during the hottest month of the year out here, thanks to NCL canceling our May cruise for routine maintenance. But that's a whole other story. Get this condo. You won't be sorry.

Excellent rental for the week

Beautiful property located right on the beach. We stayed a week in this unit 5 of us in total. Kitchen well stocked and beds were comfortable. Lots of towels and linens, etc. Boogie boards and beach chairs provided which was really nice! Great lanai for outdoor relaxation and lounge chairs in the green space were nice too! The pool was never really open but why do the pool when the beach was right there! Turtles came up on the beach every night we stayed and returned to the ocean in the morning. The only drawback was we did not have a working dishwasher, the host tried to get a repairman out while we were there but it never worked out, only a mild inconvenience to wash dishes during our stay. The keurig was also not working and the host gave us instructions to descale it but being on vacatiom, it was not a priority. Overall a great family vacation spot!

Great location with some disappointments - no internet or pool access

This property has a beautiful location, just steps away from a quiet, sandy beach. We enjoyed the peaceful sound of the waves, as well as evening strolls along the beach watching the sea turtles come ashore for the evening. The condo itself could use some updating, but overall had everything we needed. Unfortunately the pool was closed for the duration of our stay, and we could not access the internet after the first day of our arrival. Normally this would not be too much of a bother for our family since we love to explore rather than sitting poolside, but unfortunately for this trip, our teenaged daughter needed to sit some hikes out due to an ankle sprain. Having no internet/tv/pool made the days that she and her sister stayed behind long. Our biggest frustration was that we reached out to the host numerous times for advice on how to connect the internet, with no response. Likewise with questions about the pool. She still has not replied to our messages. Expect very poor communication if you experience a problem.

Great beach just steps away from condo

I would stay again. Very casual and equipped with snorkeling gear. Definetely could use simple blackout curtains for the person who sleeps on the daybed or expect to be up at 6am. The one bedroom is great and big and dark but we had to switch off who got the bright room and up with the rooster! With black out curtains - I give it a 9, otherwise still a 8!

Unmatched scenery

If you are looking to get out of the touristy Waikiki I highly recommend this place. It came with everything you need to have a fun couple days on the beach and a nice deck to escape the sun. This is a more “country” part of the island so don’t expect a perfect resort. But it was clean and cozy. I would definitely come back.
