Live Aloha, Live Local

Loved this place! Friendly, quiet block that’s a quick drive or walk to all that you need & want to do on O’ahu. The amount of living space is incredible & it’s well-equipped with just about everything you might need for an extended stay. The only thing to be aware of in the hotter months is that the a/c is only in the bedrooms so the living spaces aren’t a/c level cool in the daytime. But it’s fine with the fans if you like the warmth & it’s probably not an issue during the rest of the year. Plus the pool is always right there, perfect to cool off! (There is a deep end so keep an eye on kids who aren’t strong swimmers yet.) And best of all, the management team is super responsive & resolved any little issues quickly. Loved that regular cleanings were included & scheduled so it was one less thing to do. Highly recommend, felt like home!

We loved this house! It was super clean. Well appointed, everything I needed to cook, do laundry, BbQ. Towels, Beach towels. First Aid kit.Yoga mats. Pool toysThe property manager was immediate responsive to questions and anything we need.The highlight is the beautiful blue tiled pool. It gets full sun all morning and starts getting shady mid-afternoon, by 3 pm it is like a heated pool. I have family on the island, my 3 teen-age nieces stayed with me for a week and were in and out all month. My family loved visiting and enjoying the pool. The back of the house can be separated off for privacy, so the girls enjoyed the space for movies in the evening.It was hot when we were here, the room a/cs cooled the house quickly and rooms can be closed off for cooling only what you need.The location can not be beat. It is easy to Uber to the Kahala resort and use the beach there. There are a couple of easy to find accesses to “secret beaches” depending on the tides. Walking distance to the Kahala Mall, two grocery stores and a Ross. Tons of shops and restaurants.15 minutes from WaikikiThe house has a long driveway that can accommodate 4-5 cars.This is an older Hawaiian house that had been added on to at least once. Word to this wise it is not suited for anyone with mobility problems,there are different levels between rooms.There is no handrail on the pool stairs.The sliding door to the patio is old and difficult to operate. This was way above our budget but I would do it again

Excellent Kahala cottage for family of six including two children

Kahala cottage worked very well for our family of six. Close to Kahala Mall and groceries, Kahala Beach and Diamond Head. The pool with safety fence was great for the kids. Would love to come again.

Kahala Cottage for Professionals - Excellent Experience!

I rented this cottage for members of our team who traveled from the neighbor islands to Honolulu for work. From the beginning, the experience was excellent. I worked with Megan who was very courteous, professional and friendly. She met us at the cottage to personally deliver the keys and ensure everything was OK before she left. The cottage was perfectly located near Kahala Mall and Wholefoods. Only 15 minutes to downtown Honolulu and close to Kahala Beach Park. I would highly recommend this rental and our agent, Megan.

Kahala Cottage rental for two week conference.

Three of my colleagues and I rented this lovely, clean, and bright home while attending a conference in Honolulu, which was being held at the Hawaii Convention Center. It is a short 10-15 minute drive to the conference center and about the same to snorkeling and hiking near Hanauma bay. The house is within walking distance of a shopping center with a Whole Foods and Longs Drugs, so grocery shopping is very easy. Some of us are fond of running in the morning, so we enjoyed being within a mile or so of Diamond Head Crater National Monument. It is a little out of the way from Waikiki, so you will either need a bus pass or a car to really be able to get around downtown Honolulu. The two air-conditioned bedrooms and two sleeper-sofas provided plenty of space and privacy for us four adults. The home is bright with many windows and has a two sizable but separate living rooms, which is were the sleeper-sofas are located. The pool is large enough to get a decent workout and warm enough to just lounge around chatting over beers. We took full advantage of the kitchen to avoid the cost of eating out every night. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances that were all in excellent working order. It is also fully stocked with plenty of pots, pans, and dishes for casual use as well as enough for a ten person dinner party. However, you will likely need to buy or bring all of your own cooking supplies as there were no basic supplies such as rice, spices, or condiments available. If the owner would keep the spices, vinegars, and oils and other condiments that the renters bring, then a fine collection would accrue. This would save people the hassle and money of having to purchase those cooking basics. All in all, I would definitely recommend staying here and renting from Elite Pacific Real Estate as our stay was comfortable and the rental agent very responsive to our needs. For instance, our agent provided us with a gift basket upon our arrive full of delicious fruit and Hawaiian specialties and was able to promptly accommodate our requests.
