Kahala Moon Resort was Awesome! It was sparkling clean and I must say it was more than I expected. Check in was super easy! My daughters enjoyed the pool daily and the location was great as it’s in a high-end residential area but close enough to be in Waikiki in about 10 minutes. Our Host was very responsive and made sure that we were settled in the next day after arrival because we arrived late at night. It was ideal for my Mom and Aunts who are between 70-83 in age as well. Thanks Ingrid.

I hesitate to write how great Ocean’s Edge Too is because I want it to be available the next time we visit. This was the best place I can imagine – we had a great stay – thanks Ingrid for being our personal concierge – every recommendation was amazing!

Tina’s Waikiki Beach Condo is a GREAT convenient location just steps from the Waikiki sand. We saved a ton of money by cooking in the nicely appointed kitchen. Building amenities included beach/pool towel service which we took full advantage of daily. Parking is included! You won’t be disappointed. Looks just like the pictures. Smooth easy check-in.

Hawaii Kai Beach Front place is wonderful – location is amazing – views were incredible. Thoughtful touches – and excellent super-fast communication. Wonderful for our family of 5. Very clean and great location. Also walking distance to a lot of shops and activities. Would definitely stay there again.

Kahala Moon Resort is a fabulous house. It is very large and well equipped with everything two families needed for a great holiday. Highly recommend this place especially if travelling with a large group and don’t want to stay in the busier Waikiki area.

Tina’s Waikiki Beach Condo was exactly what I was looking for. Right on Waikiki beach, ocean view, elegantly decorated, comfortable bed, very clean and recently renovated. Parking is free with this unit. We come to Hawaii every year and we will be back next year.

Hawaii Beach Rentals in Diamond Head, Waikiki, Kahala, and Hawaii Kai
Whether you are planning your first trip to Oahu, or are gearing up for a return visit to the island, if you haven’t thought about staying in Hawaii beach rentals, you are missing out on a wonderful way to experience your trip.
There’s something about staying in a hotel that isolates you from the island experience. These boundaries no longer exist when you go with the vacation rental experience. Maybe it’s not having to trudge through a lobby and take a crowded elevator to your room at the end of a hall. Maybe it’s not being in hotel row, but on your own private piece of paradise. Maybe it’s having your own kitchen for y our meals. For whatever reason, the vacation rental experience is different from the hotel one.
The most difficult part of choosing Hawaii vacation villas is deciding on which one to stay in and what part of Oahu you want to call home-base. With only a few exceptions, if you decided on a hotel, you would be staying in Waikiki. With vacation homes, you have your choice of virtually the entire island: Waikiki, Diamond Head, Kahala, Koko Head, Waimanalo, Lanikai, Kailua, Kaneohe, Laie, North Shore, or Honolulu.
It really depends on what you want to do while you are on Oahu. If you are into country living and big wave surfing, then you should take a look at the North Shore of Oahu. If you want a bit of country, mixed with a bit of city, then the Windward side of the island (Kailua and Lanikai) might suit you best. If you want the full-on tourist experience, then Waikiki is probably where you want to stay. For an upscale, suburb locale, you should consider the South Shore from Diamond Head to Kahala to Hawaii Kai.
Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach are probably the two places most associated with Hawaii. They are both on the island of Oahu, located a short distance from the center of Honolulu, the capital of the State of Hawaii. Contact us to learn more about these properties.
WAIKIKI, DIAMOND HEAD, KAHALA AND HAWAII KAI VACATION RENTALS
Home to the majority of Oahu residents, the South shore of Oahu is a delightful melting pot of many cultures. Honolulu is the State Capital, Waikiki is the number one tourist destination, Diamond Head is the most recognizable landmark. The priciest real estate in the State stretches from Diamond Head (the Gold Coast) to Black Point and Kahala.
Waikiki Beach
Adjacent to Honolulu, lies world-famous Waikiki Beach, a must stop for any visitor. It the place to stop if you are seeking surf lessons, nightclubs with local entertainment, shopping to rival Rodeo Drive, beachfront dining and cocktails or lounging on the beach. In short, Waikiki offers excitement, shopping, surfing and a great beach.
Pacific Islands Reservations features Tina’s Waikiki Beach Tower, a vacation condo rental in the heart of Waikiki. This two-bedroom, two-bath apartment is privately owned and beautifully furnished. The building amenities include swimming pool, outdoor BBQs, gym, pool table and conference room.
Location, location, location… directly across the street from world famous Waikiki Beach… Beautiful unit. Ingrid
Diamond Head
At the end of Waikiki is the legendary landmark, Diamond Head. A hike up the mountain offers scenic panorama views of Waikiki, Honolulu and Kahala looking Makai (towards the ocean) and the Koʽolau mountain chain looking Mauka (towards the mountains). Kapiolani park, the largest in the state, lies at the base of Diamond Head. The Waikiki Shell Theater is located on the Park’s and the Honolulu Zoo is immediately adjacent to the park. Diamond Head is where you want to be if you want a prime location that’s close enough to Waikiki when you want it, but far enough away when you want to avoid it.
Pacific Islands Reservations features Ocean’s Edge Too, an ocean front vacation home located at the base of Diamond Head, directly on the Pacific Ocean. The two-story home has three bedrooms and three baths, air conditioning, gourmet kitchen and lots of privacy.
Oh God, I love this place and location Ingrid
Kahala
Continuing along the South coast are Black Point and Kahala. The former Doris Duke estate (and island home of Jim Nabors before his death) is located in the exclusive Black Point section of Kahala and is now home to the Shangri La Museum of Islamic Art, Culture & Design. Some of the most secluded and expensive homes in Hawaii are located on Kahala Beach. Kahala is a great location for visitors wanting privacy while still being convenient to shopping malls and movie theatres.
Pacific Islands Reservations features the Kahala Moon Resort, one such luxurious beachfront vacation estate. Lush tropical grounds with a five-bedroom, five-bath main house and two bedroom, two bath cottage, two swimming pools, jacuzzi, tennis court, gourmet kitchen and much more.
Absolutely beautiful. Kahala on the beach. Classic beachfront estate with beautiful pool. Ingrid
Hawaii Kai
Continuing along the South coast towards the windward coast, the next stop is Hawaii Kai. Henry J. Kaiser developed Hawaii Kai as a planned community with schools, shopping and even a network of canals for boating. Hawaii Kai nestles up against Koko Head, sister volcano crater to Diamond Head. Just around the bend is the snorkeler’s paradise of Hanauma Bay. Continuing windward are two of Oahu’s best body surfing spots, Sandy Beach and Makapu’u Beach. Just past Makapu’u is Sea Life Park, where you can swim with the dolphins and gaze at Rabbit Island which is just offshore.
Hawaii Kai is great for those who want an all-inclusive community with shopping, restaurants and easy access to both the Windward and Leeward sides of the island. Pacific Island Reservations offers three vacation rental homes in the Hawaii Kai area.
Ocean Estate is a stunning three bedroom, gated luxury home built on a cliff overlooking the ocean. The bedrooms are built with panoramic ocean views in mind as are the three lanais and the swimming pool.
Endless ocean views Ingrid
Hawaii Kai Beach Front is a holiday villa located right on the ocean with a three bedroom, three bath main house and a two bedroom, two bath cottage and an outdoor hot tub.
Fantastic oceanfront family home Ingrid
Hawaii Kai Ohana is a three bedroom, three bath vacation home, overlooking the Maunalua Bay. Outdoor, solar heated pool and gas BBQ.
Lovely views of the ocean and Diamond Head, with swimming pool. Ingrid
If we were to continue on our around the island coastal route we would next travel through Waimanalo, home of Waimanalo Bay State Recreation Park and Bellows Field Beach Park. Continuing North-East will take you to Kailua and Lanikai, both of which are consistently ranked among the top beaches in the world. From there, a nice day trip will take you to the North Shore—home of some of the most famous big wave surf contes
