About the host
Hosted by Kerstan
Aloha! My name is Kerstan — I was born and raised here in Hawaiʻi, and my wife and I live on the west side of Oʻahu with our kids. I’ve worked in everything from the military to shipyard life, but these days I focus on real estate, vacation rentals, and running a few local businesses. I love anything that gets me outdoors — fishing, surfing, and coaching basketball — and I’m passionate about making sure visitors experience the real Hawaiʻi in a way that respects the land and the people. Hosting has been a rewarding way to share our home, culture, and island lifestyle with travelers from all over the world. We take pride in offering a space that’s clean, comfortable, and filled with aloha.
Why they chose this property
We chose to invest in the west side of Oʻahu — specifically Mākaha — because it’s one of the last places on the island that still feels truly local and untouched. It’s raw, beautiful, and full of mana. You’ve got world-class beaches, stunning mountain ranges, and a tight-knit community that’s unlike anywhere else. The sunsets here are unmatched, the waves are consistent, and there’s a peaceful vibe you won’t find in the city. It’s not the touristy side of the island, and that’s exactly why we love it — it gives guests the chance to slow down, unplug, and experience Hawaiʻi the way it used to be.
What makes this property unique
Every home we host is more than just a vacation rental — it’s a place we’ve put real care into. What makes our properties special is that we don’t cut corners. We blend local design with modern comfort, and each one is set up like a true home, not a hotel room. You’ll find thoughtful touches throughout — like fruit trees in the yard, plenty of outdoor space to unwind, and detailed guidebooks that help you explore like a local. Our properties consistently rank among the top on Airbnb, and our guests often tell us it’s one of their favorite stays ever. Most importantly, we’re here for you — not some call center. When you stay with us, you’re supporting a local family and a business rooted in community, not a corporation.
