3 Bedroom House in Portlock, Honolulu

Oahu requires a 30 day rental, contact through vrbo for special rates
Kuapa Villa is a quaint 2,000 square foot interior, recently remodeled, marina-front, simple relaxing older home with A/C in all bedrooms and ceiling fans through out the house (main living areas do not have AC)
Makapu'u Blue tile marina front pool, large covered back deck, and amazing marina and Koko Head Crater Volcano views.
You will love the location of this home, as it is very close to tons of amazing sights, great shopping and restaurant options, and loads of other fun activities and attractions. It also offers direct access to the calm waters of the Hawai'i Kai Marina via its very own private dock and a pair of ocean kayaks for you to enjoy during your stay!
Located on a quiet residential peninsula, Kuapa Villa is perched right on the water in an area known by the ancient Hawaiians as Kuapa Pond. The area was once one of the largest fish ponds in the Hawaiian Islands but was dredged and filled in the 1960's and 70's to create the large private waterway now known as the Hawai'i Kai Marina. These marina-front homes have become some of the most sought after residential properties on the entire island, and for very good reason. Residents and visitors alike fall in love with the safe, quiet streets on land and the similarly safe, quiet waterways of this completely private marina. It's one of the only places in the entire state where you can take a boat or paddle a kayak to dine at one of the many nearby marina-front restaurants!
One of the best features of this neighborhood is its extremely proximity to a myriad of exciting - and useful - destinations. A quick 5-minute drive will bring you to most everything you will need to enjoy your vacation to the fullest....
For some serious underwater fun, you will find world famous Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve just over the hill, with its pristine white sand beach and some of the best snorkeling on the entire planet. You'll also find Maunalua Bay, one of the premiere water sports adventure locations in the entire state, with several different companies offering water sports galore, including jet skiing, parasailing, surfing, stand-up paddling, kayaking, snorkeling, scuba diving, wake boarding, and the exhilarating "Jetpack" thrill ride!
If land-based activity is more your thing, there are several great hikes close by, including the immensely popular Koko Crater Railway Trail which offers a great work-out on the ascent and rewards your efforts with spectacular ocean and mountain views from the summit. If you're lucky enough to have your stay coincide with a full moon, take this hike in the late afternoon and watch an unforgettable full moon rise over the Pacific!
If shopping is more your thing, you will delight to find 3 different shopping centers within 2 miles of the house! Choose from tons of great boutique shops and restaurants, as well as multiple grocery stores (including Costco!), drug stores/pharmacies, and even a multi-plex movie theatre.
Should you feel the urge to drive farther than 5 minutes, you will be thrilled to find out that you can get to most parts of the island in under 30 minutes, including Waikiki and Honolulu!
Take the scenic drive around the east side and within the first 10 minutes, you'll be soaking in the picturesque coastline views of Koko Head, Sandy Beach, and Makapu'u. Make a pit stop at the Halona Blow Hole to watch this natural water spout shoot ocean spray dozens of feet into the air. If you stop here during the winter months, the keen-eyed visitor will almost certainly be able to spot Humpback whales frolicking in the deep waters just offshore!
Around the corner and continue driving past the sprawling pristine white sands of Waimanalo Bay and you'll soon reach the world-famous beaches of Kailua and Lanikai. Just a short kayak paddle off shore of Lanikai Beach are the picturesque Mokulua Islands. With plenty of nearby kayak rentals to choose from, I highly recommend you spend a day to fully explore this iconic island treasure!
Head the other direction (west) and you'll soon find yourself in world famous Waikiki, with its myriad of shopping, restaurant, food, bar, and night club options, as well as ocean sports activities galore like surfing lessons, canoe surfing rides, submarine tours & catamaran cruises. Keep heading west and you'll soon find yourself at Ala Moana Center, the largest outdoor shopping center in the world, with more than 300 shops & restaurants.
Another 5-10 minutes will bring you to the historic sites of downtown Honolulu, including 'I'olani Palace (the only royal palace in the United States) & the historic Chinatown district. There's also Honolulu Harbor where you can dine and drink right on the waterfront, or board one of the many ships for a sunset dinner cruise or even a late night "booze cruise" for some real fun!
Venture a few miles farther west & you'll find yourself at historic Pearl Harbor where the U.S.S. Arizona still sits in the waters where it was sunk 75 years ago on December 7, 1941 which indeed turned out to be a "day that will live in infamy".
On days when you're not feeling quite as adventurous, just relax at home and take a dip in your own private backyard oasis instead. Kick back and soak up a few warm rays while you gaze at the stunning views of Koko Head across the marina. Soak in some warm rays on the back deck, then take a dip to cool down in your own backyard oasis.
Although the house is close to Waikiki and Honolulu, rest assured it is completely removed from the considerable urban sprawl of the big city, allowing you to relax in peace and quiet during the downtime of your vacation.
Out of respect for the serenity of this quiet residential neighborhood, events, parties, or loud music are not permitted.
Come enjoy warm sunny days, cool nights, and a great time with family and friends at the Kuapa Villa!

Summary: Great location. Minutes away from shopping, Koko
antoniette B. Aug 27, 2024 06:10:36 AM
Summary: The property is located in a very nice quiet neighborhood. Our stay here was nice. Beautiful swimming pool with the view of a beautiful lagoon. Overall, the house is nice. It can use a few updates. The bikes that are in the garage are not functional at this time, one of the seats is very loose. Maybe some updates on the bedding and beach towels and chairs would be nice. Other than that our family stay here was very safe and nice.
Tina C. Aug 21, 2024 05:58:56 AM
Summary: What a great stay we had! The house accommodated the six of us comfortably and was nicely located in a quiet neighborhood with shopping access and such nearby. We made good use of the kitchen the back patio and the pool. The bedrooms were the only rooms with air conditioning and unfortunately the rest of the house was always too warm. But we’d stay again!

Summary: summery
Stef A. Apr 19, 2024 11:00:22 AM
Summary: First off, kids loved the pool and the pool toy accessories. Then we can talk about the adults' favorite things. The welcome email had detailed directions, clear instructions, and good local suggestions. The grandmother in our group loved that we were so close to Costco. The house was clean when we got here and had several staple items already setup. Towels were clean and fluffy, soaps for hands/dishes/laundry already enough for what we needed. Refrigerator was already cold and making ice. The beds were super comfy, like super comfy! What's the catch? Well, if you're not used to living near the water, there were a very few water bugs and that could freak a few people out. There were already some Raid cans, so that was an easy fix. And the bathrooms were so pretty, but the tub was a little slippery, so just be careful or wear shower shoes with grip. We packed lite and utilized the laundry, it was a great help and a good pair of machines! It was definitely worth staying here and out of the hustle n bustle. We venture everywhere we could and it was so nice to come back to the private pool in a quiet setting. Then go for an evening walk around the neighborhood. Would definitely rent here again for next Oahu trip.

Summary: Rainbows, yoga on the dock and hours of fun around the pool - at the foot of Koko Crater - are just a few elements of our family’s time at this lagoon of Oz. All of our beach needs, bikes, kayaks, the nearby sites and local restaurants offer something for everyone. The hidden gem, Portlock Beach, is perfect for little ones. We all agree that we’d come back to this spacious and relaxing home.

Summary: This house is fantastic for a family visiting Oahu. The pool is definitely a highlight. I was worried because it isn't heated that it would be cold but it wasn't! We enjoyed the outdoor space. The check in and out process was also easy. The stay would have been better if details were taken care of. The garage door doesn't shut unless you pull on it to help it along, the master bath shower drain is clogged which is gross, the TV remotes have bad batteries, the light over the stove is burnt out, the coffee cups are the sort that can't be microwaved, the stove was dirty with food down the sides, the outdoor grill was not cleaned and the recycling was full to overflowing from other guests. Even though we put the recycle bin out the truck didn't come as scheduled. Also the air conditioning is only in the bedrooms and the common spaces are incredibly warm. (We had unseasonably warm weather) The air conditioning unit in the master bedroom seems to barely keep up even with the door closed. The ceiling fans are dirty, the toilet in the master feels like it's not bolted down. The carpets have stains and next door is under construction so there are many people around and starting work early with construction noise. Thankfully my family is early risers anyway. These are all small things but annoying. Felt like the house needs some attention. The bike paddle board and kayaks are great additions!

Summary: Room for my family, clean, enjoyed the pool, and outside area, especially the marina. Everything you need is here, shopping center close by. Many thanks for a memorable time.
brett m. Feb 9, 2023 01:00:07 PM
Summary: Excellent property, quiet location with a pool. Safeway, Costco, Longs Drugs stores so close by, makes shopping easy. It was really tough to leave.
Matt & Betsy B. Feb 7, 2023 01:00:44 PM
Summary: Overall, the property is better equipped than most VRBO's. There is a two-person kayak and stand-up paddle board, life jackets, pool toys, etc. The kitchen is new and well-stocked. The layout of the house is very nice, with big patio doors to the pool. There is no air conditioning except for in the bedrooms. It got warm in the late afternoon, but we never actually needed the air conditioning. The neighborhood is quiet and safe, and we loved being on the canal and ability to explore with the sea kayak and stand up paddle board. The pool is beautiful--unheated but it was warm enough for us. There are some things that are in a bit of disrepair, but we enjoyed our stay here very much and would definitely stay here again.
