Aloha and welcome to the beauty and tranquility of Kaneohe on the eastern coast of Oahu. This Hawaii bed and breakfast style home is only 20 minutes from Waikiki, Honolulu and the international airport, but it is a world away from their hustle and noise. The inn is also just a 7 minute drive from the country's best beach, the 4 mile long white sand Kailua Beach. The inn is a 6300 square foot, 3 story house with 4 private apartments, each approximately 1500 square feet in size. Three apartments have 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, but one apartment has a third bedroom. Each has its own living room and kitchen. Sitting on the lanais, or in any of the 4 living rooms of this Oahu vacation rental home will give you the impression of floating on a houseboat in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
Or you may be fooled into thinking that you have landed in Japan if you visit the Byodo-In Temple in the Valley of the Temples. Also located in Kaneohe, a 15 minute drive from the inn, this replica of the original Japanese temple has a huge temple bell which you may ring for good luck. The koi in two acres of ponds wait for you to feed them in this tropical version of Japan.
Awaken in your completely equipped, very comfortable apartment to the sound of doves cooing and the wind rustling through the coconut palm trees and the 30 foot high golden bamboo. Enjoy the golden light of early morning, the bright blue waters of Kaneohe Bay and the deep green of the towering Ko'olau Mountains where Jurassic Park was filmed. Walk in the inn's lush tropical garden with its papayas, bananas, ginger and coconuts for guests to enjoy. Paddle out to Coconut Island where the t.v. show, Gilligan's Island, was filmed. The inn provides 2 two person kayaks for guests to launch from the back yard. Kaneohe Bay is the Hawaiian Island's largest bay and provides opportunities for excellent kayaking on calm, shallow waters.
Take advantage of Oahu's cornucopia of unique festivals and cultural/historical attractions and learn about the many Pacific Rim cultures present in Hawaii. Visit the famous Polynesian Cultural Center and learn about the South Pacific Island societies. Drive the eastern coast road to reach the Center and along the way visit the many beautiful beaches on Oahu's east and north coasts. You may use the inn's beach towels, mats, coolers, chairs, boogie boards, snorkeling equipment and toys.
Tee off on the country's most scenic and most difficult golf course, the Ko'olau Golf Course located just 7 minutes by car from the inn. This par-72 course offers dramatic vistas of Oahu's coastline, extreme elevation changes, and an abundance of Hawaiian vegetation. Even if you don't golf, you can still enjoy the scenery from the restaurant.
Ecological tours, botanical gardens, great hiking, historical/cultural attractions, ocean fishing, whale watching, swimming with dolphins, horse back riding and sky diving are some of the numerous family activities available on Oahu. Whatever your interest, you will find that there is too much to see and do in one or even two weeks on Oahu. See some of the numerous locations for Oahu activities on the "Activities" page.
At the end of the day, you will always be glad to return to the quiet comfort of the inn. An evening barbecue on your 60 foot lanai, overlooking the spectacular 180 degree view of the bay and the mountains, is a great way to relax and enjoy the inn's tranquility. There is no better view on Oahu or in Hawaii than the one of the sun setting behind the mountains framing the bay. The sight of the full moon setting over the mountains early in the morning has a quiet beauty all its own.
The suites are completely private and usually rented separately. However, they can be combined to accommodate up to 24 people. Either way, this Oahu vacation home rental is the best value for your money in Hawaii. Use it as a base to relax, sightsee, have fun and learn about the many wonderful cultures present on Oahu.
