About this property

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 (4), or boogie boards (4) 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 Cable(yes we still have cable). The dining table has seating for 8 and kitchen bar has seating for four. The kitchen has everything you will need. Dishwasher to help with the chores. 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

Great location close to amazing beach

House is in a nice quiet neighborhood, short walk to the beach which was never crowded, even on Easter weekend. Having all the beach toys at the house was super convenient. Mark set us up with a dolphin snorkeling tour which was amazing. Great place for a more low-key visit to Oahu.

Great Stay!

Mark and Holly were very kind and helpful hosts. The beach at Waimanalo was perfect--beautiful, not crowded, great boogie boarding for amateurs like us, even caught more fish here than anywhere else. Used gear everyday. Overall location fantastic, too--close to Hanauma Bay and Kailua amenities. Slept with windows open, woke to roosters crowing. Fit our family of five beautifully. Only downside---leaving.

Family of 4 Paradise

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.

Great location, Great beaches

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.

An Excellent Stay

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.

Living like a local

Similar to renting out an apartment or duplex feels like you and are part of the community, 5 minute walk to amazing beach and don't have to cross busy street is the great thing about this property, you share the house, half has been closed off and owner/manager lives in bottom, there is a 10pm curfew and i think up to 8 am curfew in using patio and making noise. It is like a 2 star out of 5 star place as far as quality of hotels, large kitchen, 2 twin beds comfy, other beds not as comfortable i think fulls or queens?, no effective air conditioning, but makes you use beach more great motivator to get people out to beach, mosquitos and roaches just a part of hawaii makes you feel local, grounds a bit messy and cluttered, some equipment heavily used but so nice!!! to have all the equipment available huge plus for this place++++ if you want to use surf board, kayak, boogie boards great for this at no extra charge, If you are thinking of moving to waimanalo this would give you a great idea of what it would be like, a bit rough for me as a vacation place, but also a great change of pace if you are looking to slow it down and get local feel. If you don't like how busy waikiki is and your looking for a local experience great fit! Not resort, not upscale property, but quiet nice half- home block or 2 walk to great quiet beach, beach was great for kids,you share hot tub- at arrival it was quite dirty and colored but got cleaned up during our stay and kids enjoyed.

Home away from home in Waimanalo

Our host, Mark, made everything simple to find the house and check in. The house was very welcoming and homey. He thought of everything a guest would need to enjoy the stay. Waimānalo Beach is about 6 minutes away. There were even snorkeling gear, chairs, toys and accessories for the beach. Beach towels were provided, stashed in a cute old trunk in the living room area. The kitchen had everything but the food to cook. Although, there were some condiments, butter, coffee, cream, sugar, etc. There was even a welcoming gift with a box of Hawaiian chocolates with macadamia nuts. Extra bed linens, pillows, towels, shampoo, conditioner, a bar of soap, laundry detergent and dryer sheets were provided. I especially enjoyed reading the binder on the coffee table. It had very important information about the house and neighborhood expectations, suggestions on restaurants, tours, points of interests. It had a few pages on the history of the island and islands, nice touch. The warnings given as a tourist swimming in the ocean was very helpful. I was with my 4 daughters, son and a boyfriend of one of my girls. Coming from one of the 19 pueblos in New Mexico, as Indigenous Peoples, we felt the warmth and love of the house and felt right at home. We especially enjoyed the more rural area of the island, away from the tourists. This home is located on the 2nd level of the house. It is very easily accessible, parking is right in front. I very highly recommend this home. Come enjoy Hawaii!

Great! In ways…

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.

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.

Was nice staying somewhere with all the amenities we needed to enjoy our stay like we were at home. Mark answered any questions we had and left info i n a binder that was really helpful to find extra things to do. I will stay here again next time I come to Oahu! The owner of the property has 2 dogs that are both well behaved and helped us feel more at home since we didn't bring our dogs with. The home is within walking distance to the beach and the neighborhood felt safe. This is not a resort it is a home and we felt at home here. We grilled, cooked, kept groceries, and drinks, and snacks at the house saving us from having to eat or every meal or snack. Also has a nice deck area for grilling or hanging out. We enjoyed our stay!

Perfect for what we were looking for

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!

RED FLAGS FIRST NIGHT - NOT AS DESCRIBED!!

I was offered $ NOT to post this review. We traveled 13 hours so excited for our destination vacation to begin. We knew we were staying in an existing older neighborhood home that we had Google mapped. But what is advertised in the VRBO listing is not what we got!! We arrived at a house with a large barking dog on the property (never disclosed!), and found the interior to not match the we photos (older, darker furniture & paint, & the windows by the dining table don’t even exist!), used linens and overall dirty from the previous guests, and outside the view from the deck is of the homeowners unmaintained backyard and the hot tub which was unusable because of green algae that covers the patio, lawn furniture, and koi pond. Where we also saw laundry from the previous guests/homeowner in a heap. I contacted Mark and he responded quickly, and said the dog was friendly and not to worry about him that he was a big baby and he wasn’t aware of any maintenance issues? WTAF Later that night the list just kept getting longer: - bait and switch property listing - dog on property (never disclosed!) the hot tub, kayaks, boogie boards, and koi pond are all in the yard with barking dog. And dog shit! - property not maintained - property not cleaned - living room sleeps 4 but we couldn’t get the blinds to close and ended up using beach towels to improvise. - no smoke detectors in bedrooms! - old refrigerator (no ice maker) - terrible WiFi We loved Hawaii, but DON’T stay here!!

Cozy, quiet neighborhood, fantastic beach nearby

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!

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

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.
