House that has it all, Hot Tub, Kayaks, Surf Boards, Snorkeling gear & more
Located in the Waimanalo Beach Lots, which is only 25 minutes from Honolulu and Waikiki. Waimanalo Beach is one of the largest, cleanest, and most private beaches on Oahu. This white sand beach is very safe (referring to the ocean/surf) so you can relax and not have to worry as your family enjoys the ocean. Get away from the hustle and bustle and escape to this #1 rated pristine beach.
Then enjoy everything this all-inclusive house has to offer. You will have everything at your fingertips to have a great time on the beach. Relax in the beach chairs or take the surfboards (2), kayaks (3), or boogie boards (2) out on the beach and catch some waves. If the water is flat use the snorkeling masks and fins (Quality equipment and enough for the whole group) to see what’s beneath the surface. For the more ambitious ones in the group discounts are available on scuba diving, dolphin and whale watching tours, and many other activities.
After your day’s activities relax on the covered porch and listen to the waves roll in. Make dinner in the full kitchen or throw some burgers on the gas grill. Large living area with TV and DVD. The dining table has seating for 8 and kitchen bar has seating for four. The kitchen has everything you will need. There is also a washer and dryer in the unit so you can pack a little lighter.
The master bedroom has AC but you won't need it as the cool trade wind breeze blows in the sounds and smells of the ocean. 2nd bedroom has 2 twin beds or push them together to make a king. The living room has 2 queen futons for additional guests.
Please don't hesitate to email if you have questions about the property, Waimanalo Beach, Oahu activities or even the islands as a whole.
We hope to see you soon. Aloha

Location! Location! Location! The location makes this home. We absolutely loved walking to the beach for sunrise, sunset and all the times in between. The house was comfortable for our family of four. It was clean and had everything that we needed for our stay. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay. We had an amazing time!
We had such a great time. With just a short walk to the beach, we were able to relax and enjoy ourselves. The host is amazing and we couldn’t have asked for a better vacation.

Beach Lots stay
The property has a lot of potential and can be upgraded more. The shrubs are overgrown. The jacuzzi was nice to use. The dog poop can be picked up too. The owner was nice and took care of issues as they came up. It can be a pleasant stay if it was better maintained. We were there for a funeral so we needed convenience near my brother’s house.

Mark, you were a great host and the property was outstanding.
Our family really enjoyed the proximity to your beautiful beach and all the other beaches just up and down the coast.
The info on property was pretty accurate, we enjoyed the use of all the swimming items and kayaks, the location was in a great neighborhood, disnt have any problems at all, ease of check in was smooth, property manager was most helpful and gave rerecommendations on events we scheduled for best experience!!!
Great location with a short walk to beautiful Waimanalolo Beach!!! Perfect for a small family or group!! Can't beat starting or ending the night in the hot tub either. Great location out of all the craziness with easy access to all the sites!!! Hosts are so helpful & welcoming!!!
Excellent place for a peaceful getaway. The beach is incredible, safe and fun for all ages, and never very crowded. The house is well stocked with amenities and we were able to grill up some excellent meals and clean our clothes. Not very big but lots of sleeping options if you are ok with sleeping in the living room too, the futons were very nice for options. Also, having boogie boards, chairs and all made the beach even more enjoyable. Along with the detailed and interesting welcome booklet, Mark has thought of pretty much everything you'll need to have a great vacation!
Wonderful week at property. Bright and airy and immaculate. 3 or 4 minute walk to beautiful Waimanalo Beach. Great well stocked kitchen. Never heard a sound from owner who lives downstairs. Thanks, Mark and Holly!
If you are looking for a beach crowded with tourists, a sterile room far from real Hawaii, or a hot Night Club scene, look elsewhere.
If you are looking for a quiet neighborhood in easy walking distance from a beautiful secluded beach with perfect boogie boarding waves and pillow soft sand surrounded by Hawaii's beautiful Nature, stay here.
The house was wonderful. All the appliances worked, the yard was beautiful. We enjoyed the boogie boards, surf boards, snorkel gear, and hot tub.
We found all the earlier complaints about the property's dogs or messy yard to be untrue.
The only time we heard from the owner was either when we asked him a question or the Packers scored a touchdown.
You'll need a car if you want to easily reach most of the tourist sites like Hanauma Bay or Pearl Harbor.
We had a fantastic time in Hawaii and this rental was a big part of making that happen. It was great being off the beaten path a bit but still able to get to the North Shore or western side of the island in less than an hour. Having a very beautiful and almost empty beach, at least during the week, just a 3-4 minute walk away was great! Our kids were at the beach daily, either before or after our island adventure for the day, and really enjoyed taking the boogie boards out into the 2-3 foot waves. The rental was well setup, had everything we needed. Mark and Holly were both very personable and accommodating. If we make it back we'll most certainly stay here again!
This was an excellent property for our family of 4. You can have 4 more people with the 2 futons in the livingroom so lots of room. It was comfortable and homey. The available boogie boards, snorkel gear, surf boards, and kyaks were awesome. The location was excellent. The beautiful beach was just a short walk down the road and the hottub was an added bonus. The location of the property is only about a 20-30 min drive to downtown Waikiki and an hour to the North Shore. Keeps you out of the hussle and bussle of the city but close enough to zip over. The owner is super friendly, available if needed, and open to suggestions. We would definitely stay here again.
I struggle to give our stay a 4, but technically speaking, everything was satisfactory. It was just old and tired. The floors, kitchen, & bathroom were clean, but the BBQ needs a thorough cleaning. The linens & towels were clean but very used. The fabric shower curtain was mildewy (granted there was a new, clean plastic liner). The kitchen supplies (pots, pans etc) were a mix of cracked teflon coated pieces. Screens & screen doors need attention. That said, we’d stay there again because of the LOCATION! Mark was always available to ask questions of. It’s noisy during the day but nights were quiet. The beach and beach amenities were great. Waimanolo is a great location from which to explore the entire island. And its easy to just spend a whole day down the road at one of Oahu’s best swimming beaches! Things that would have made this a 5: new screen door to lanai, screens on windows attached, clean grill, new futon mattress (one has a spring pushing through), non-corroded shower curtain rod, new shower curtain, beach towels, decent cookware, easily operable blinds, just general ongoing maintenance beyond surface cleaning.
I thought we were renting a separate house, not a duplex. However the Hosts who live below were vary accommodating and gracious to our needs. The kitchen was easy to use. the dishwasher needed repair. It would be nice to have a second 1/2 bathroom. We had 5 adults and 2 kids. Location to Waimanalo beach is its best feature. Plenty of water toys for the beach. Bring your own life vest.
My wife and 2 kids spent a week at this location and we were very happy. It has every modern amenity you would want in a house. Washer/dryer full bathroom, hallway in between the kids room and the parents room. Patio with tables and BBQ, dinner table, futons, coffee maker, hair dryer, you name its provided. If you are looking for a non tourist destination very close to the beach then this is a solid place. We had an issue with bugs (this is why I left 4/5 stars for cleanliness) but the owners were very response and communication was quick and helpful. Seperate entry and plenty of parking. All of the beach equipment is also provided; we used umbrellas, sand toys and there is snorkel gear available. The rooms, sheets and towels were very clean and a service comes through to provide a great living environment. There are mini-marts and grocery stores near by along with restaurants to get you through your stay. I would choose this location again for a long stay in Hawaii.
After reading previous reviews I set my expectations accordingly not knowing what to expect. What we ended up with was a perfect vacation and place to stay for our family week. This is not to say the place is perfect, but the gorgeous mountains in back of us, the quiet nice neighborhood and 2 blocks (yes 2) to a gorgeous beach you just can't beat. The house was perfect for our family with a great layout and everything from the kitchen to the bath to the beach stuff was fully stocked. With the upstairs lanai we felt safe sleeping with the door open and getting the cross breeze. I would advise that the owner add smoke detectors to the bedroom. And yes the yard was a mess but the Koi fish were some of the most beautiful I have ever seen. My whole family loved this low key beach pad and would stay again for sure. The owner was very nice and helpful too. Also yes we saw the dogs but they looked super sweet and if they ever did bark it wasn't prolonged and not a problem at all. The Koi pond also provides a nice white noise to the other neighborhood sounds. This place is ideal for those who would prefer a more authentic experience over having the more commercial experience of a big hotel. Thank you for a great week!

About the host
Hosted by Mark Petritz
I grew up in the Midwest and moved to Oahu in 2002 for my love of the Ocean. There is nowhere else on Oahu I would rather live than the windward side of the island (East Side). We reside downstairs with our daughter Evelyn and Madelyn Aloha, Mark & Holly
Why they chose this property
I bought this house for a couple simple reasons LOCATION, Location, Location. Its just a very short walk from the nicest beach on the island (Rated Best Beach USA in 2015 (Forbes)). It has many other awards but we prefer to keep it "on the down low". I can't imagine ever selling this property.
What makes this property unique
As you will notice if you read my online guestbook, we make all of our toys available to our guests. I have a pile of boogie boards, 4 or more surfboards, 4 or more kayaks, and quality snorkeling gear for your whole group. I invite you to bring your children down to feed the Koi in the pond and am always available if you have any questions. Yes, this also includes the occasional call for directions should you happen to get lost or just have a question about the island.
