About this property

Tropical Treasure on a White Sandy Beach

Guest, PLEASE NOTE!
Per Oahu law, we only rent to one family per month! Our monthly rental fee is $7.500 (plus tax and cleaning). The only exception is December when the rent is $9750.

Your contract is for a minimum 30 days and you have the option of checking in and out any time during your rental period. The rental fee will NOT be pro-rated based on the actual number of days you plan to occupy the house. Please read more below about Oahu's law for vacation home rentals.

ABOUT OUR HOUSE:
Our house is located in Laie, which offers a lot of relaxation in an unspoiled part of Hawaii that remains very Polynesian in culture (i.e. very warm and friendly). The Polynesian Cultural Center, Oahu's most visited attraction, is just 1 mile up the road.

The location of the house is unique. The house sits inside a beautiful state beach park. We have a 120-degree view of the ocean from the large covered deck. The only thing between our house and the beach is 40 steps across the grass field.

Also, the beach easily ranks as one of the best in Hawaii. You will find yourself taking spectacular morning and evening beach walks. Because our beach is behind a reef, there are no big waves so you can swim year-round.

To our left, for 3/4 mile there are no houses along the beach. Just tropical park trees. You really feel like you are on a tropical island. The beach is wide and the ocean is all sandy bottom. To our right there is great snorkeling and there is a popular local ocean playground the locals call the "Alligator Pond" because a series of rocks in the water look like an alligator from afar. Kids love the pond because the water is shallow and warm so even toddlers can play without any waves (which are caught by those rocks). They get fascinated by the little tropical fish swimming around in the pond.

Also, to the left there are great areas for bigger kids (9+) to safely boogie board as the waves are just big enough to get some nice rides.

The best feature of the house is the large deck which is covered by the upstairs part of the house. Because trees to our right shield the house from Ocean winds you can enjoy every breakfast, lunch and dinner out on the deck overlooking the park and ocean. That is really relaxing!

OAHU VACATION RENTAL LAW EXPLAINED
Oahu's government requires the following statement in every ad: "This property may not be rented for less than 30 consecutive days! The monthly rental fee will not be reduced or increased based on the number of days the rental is used."

Question: What does that mean? Can we rent your house for 10 days?
Answer: NO! You can stay at our house for 10 nights, or 15, 21 etc. But your booking MUST be for at least 30 days.

Question: Why can I not just pay for 10 days?
Answer: Because the Oahu law on vacation rentals requires that all rental contracts are for 30 or more days. So the rent has to be an amount per month, not per night. The law does not care how many of the 30 days you stay at the property!

Question: $7,500 plus tax sounds like a lot if we only want to stay 10 nights.
Answer: Just look at other properties right by the beach with 3 or 4 bedrooms and you will see that our rate is far lower than most of the others.

Question: How can I rent your house?
Answer: Just enter a date range of at 30 days and click the BOOK NOW button. Date ranges of less than 30 days will be rejected! After booking you will receive the 30-day contract and other property documentation such things to see and do on the island.

Great host and house!
My family and I (6 adults, 4 kids) stayed at this house. Paul is a personable, professional host. He is very prompt with his communication. My family really appreciated the “things to do in the area” list he had passed along to us. The house was very comfortable for the 10 of us. You can not beat the view or the very short walk to the beach. Mahalo, Paul!

Location was perfect
We had an awesome time at Paul’s house. The huge grassy park and beach entrance were definitely the highlight. I already miss the sound of the ocean!

Perfect home for family stay
Absolutely wonderful!! We had lots of kids and us and the home worked perfect for us! Paul is an amazing host and the home was perfect for a long term stay. Many days we spent several trips over to the beach and enjoyed the close view of the ocean, the beautiful sunrises, and remembered to look the other way at the gorgeous mountains. We would definitely stay again if we get a chance!!

Laie house
We enjoyed staying in Laie. Although, there were a lot of hiccups. No property manager available to help us out because they were out of town! But owner was very helpful. He responded right away. He tried to help us with everything that was going wrong. He even compensated on all the trouble we were having with the hot water, toilet and dryer. We had permission to break into the utility closet to grab toilet paper. He also let us borrow the beach equipment for free. We do wish the place had an AC window unit because during the day the house was very hot and muggy. We loved the area we stayed it. Thanks Paul! We hope you could fix some things and we would come back to stay.

A great family stay in Laie
We enjoyed a great family vacation in Hawaii at Paul's Laie house. Every morning started with a sunrise walk. The location was perfect for us: the only thing between you and the beach is a large green lawn of a public park. Paul is a great host, helpful and quick to respond. While this is not 5 star resort living, the house was great for our family of 10: a large covered deck, bbq, 2 bathrooms, laundry, parking for 3 cars, a shed full of beach toys and shopping/food nearby. Biggest con was that the two west facing bedrooms got hot during the day, in particular when the trade winds stopped blowing.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
I enjoy helping visiting families get the most out of their time at our house. I have gathered lots of information about things to see and do in our immediate area and around the island. You will receive all that info upon booking.

Why they chose this property

We used to own a house in Hauula on the Mountain side of the Kam Highway. Everything was great except the noise from the road. So in 2004 we jumped at the chance to buy this house as it sits away from the road inside a gorgeous park along nearly a mile of tropical beach. From the large deck, you enjoy 120-degree views of the ocean plus a nice overview of the park. The beach is just 40 steps across the park field. As guest after guest confirms, the location is totally unique and has allowed them to have an unforgettable family vacation. We have great neighbors who enjoy the interaction with our visitors. Juli, our property manager, lives in the house across the road and is always available to help our guests with anything they may need.
