This property is vintage Hawaiian charm and comfort at its finest! From the moment you enter the lush and sheltered outdoor patio (including gas fire pit), you feel as if you’ve stepped into a sanctuary. The position of this property up a short hill, provides a sense of being above the fray with great views from nearby street corners. While it’s not close to the beach, it’s centrally located for travelers who plan to explore Honolulu and Oahu, which worked perfectly for us. There are a number of delicious local eateries just down the hill, making it easy to pick up food on the way “home.” Kirsten and Mike have thoughtfully attended to every detail for your comfort. They’ve also cleverly optimized the space with all the modern conveniences without sacrificing an ounce of historic character. The name of this house is “Hana Hou Hale” which translates to “Encore House.” By restoring it so lovingly, they’ve not only given the house an encore, but created a place that travelers will want to return to one more time.
