Royal Hawaiian Estate - Monthly Rental

We stayed at this beautiful estate on Oahu for 10 days during Thanksgiving holiday. There were 12 of us and we all had a wonderful time. It’s luxurious and spacious, yet very relaxing and with all the amenities of home. The beds are very comfortable and the house was very neat and clean. The views from all 3 levels are spectacular with the ocean and beach right out the back door and if you don’t like salt water there is a very nice pool with a lava rock waterfall. The drive along the coast to Honolulu is also very beautiful with many places to pull off for scenic pictures. Very easy access to shopping and water sports. It’s outside the hectic tourist area Waikiki but located conveniently to all we wanted to see and do. We enjoyed the dolphin shows and Chief’s Luau (the best!) at Sea Life Park just a mile or so from the estate, went golfing, boogie-boarding, beach walking and swimming, hiking, a very fun Star Of Honolulu evening dinner cruise, incredible helicopter tour, shopped the strip at Waikiki, Pearl Harbor Tour, and the snorkeling is great right in front of the Estate. For Thanksgiving, we prepared food in the kitchen and on the BBQ and set up a buffet on the outdoor bar and large covered patio by the pool. There are lots of good restaurants in Kailua and Hawaii Kai both just about 10 minutes away. (Assagio’s Italian was awesome ?). We enjoyed that there’s a beach park right next to the estate where local Hawaiian’s like to bring their kids for swimming and picnics and some of the local men like to play Ukulele together. It was nice to have the privacy that the private yard and pool area provided at the estate, yet right next to the estate the kids could experience some of the local children and culture at the beach park. David & Patricia are super nice and their helpers Mary, Jodie and Ashley went overboard to make sure we understood where everything was, how everything worked and that we had everything we needed. This place is a must for anyone wanting a great getaway but so perfectly located to see and do everything. We will definitely stay here again!!

If you are looking for a luxury “over-the-top” vacation home, you have found it here in this extraordinary three story estate on the ocean, with gated entrance. This is the personification of comfort, luxury, beauty and enormous space, all on the ocean with gorgeous breezes and views! Beautifully decorated with every convenience ad comfort – balconies, shaded lanai with bar, BBQ, tables and lounges overlooking a beautiful waterfall pool. Listen to music piped throughout. Hit the beach with scuba gear or boogie boards, then return for a workout in the fitness room followed by relaxing in the sauna. You’ll be planning your next visit before you even leave! With so much to do close by – Sea Life Aquarium, golf courses, Waikiki Beach and so much more, you’ll need another trip to get it all in. We give this estate rental an enthusiastic 5+ star rating.

Standing by the ocean wall with my four year old son watching the waves roll in is a memory I will always cherish. Walking through the yard looking at the majesty of the volcanic ridge towering above the house was breathtaking. At night, doors open to the Lanai, the ocean lulls you to sleep or provides the perfect background for a romantic glass of wine by moonlight. The architectural design is the perfect balance of open spaces and private alcoves. While there are endless endeavors to be explored in Hawaii, the estate and beach provide everything that a family needs to have an authentic Hawaiian experience.

What a wonderful time! I could not believe the beauty and comfort of this house. Each morning we would drink our coffee on the balcony and look out at the remarkably blue ocean and sky. There were 12 of us, 10 adults and two children. We really enjoyed the large pool and the incredible beach and spent a lot of time under the comfortable covered patio overlooking the pool and ocean. The bedrooms are so comfortable and clean! We cooked our meals in the gourmet kitchen and on the BBQ and ate overlooking the ocean. The home has everything we could want and it’s in a great location to relax and enjoy family, but also to get out and get to wherever we wanted to go. Honolulu was about 20 minutes away and Waikiki about 30 minutes. The drive along the coast to get there is breathtaking and made it enjoyable. When we first checked in we received an orientation about where everything was and how everything worked and when we had questions, someone always answered the phone or came over to show us. The property managers provide great customer service and made us feel welcome and comfortable. I liked that all the entertaining is on the 1st and 2nd floors apart from the bedrooms upstairs so those that wanted to go to bed early (me and my husband) weren’t disturbed by the ones that wanted to stay up and make noise. We brought the kids to Sea Life Park and had a wonderful time at Chief’s Luau, both just a mile or so down the road. The property manager recommended the Star Of Honolulu for a nice dinner cruise with entertainment, and that was also a highlight of the trip. I loved this house and its location! I would recommend it to anyone and I hope one day we can go back again! Thank you so much for a wonderful vacation and memories I’ll always cherish!

Thank you for opening your beautiful home to us. This property is truly a little piece of heaven here on earth! I would choose this vacation spot again over anywhere else we have ever been. The house and grounds are impeccable. We felt like royalty, yet it is homey and welcoming in every way. You have provided every amenity imaginable. Comfortable and exquisite at the same time! We loved everything, from enjoying our morning coffee as we watched the sun come up, to the sound of the ocean lulling us to sleep at night. And I couldn’t believe that we could walk right out and swim with so many sea turtles! The local is perfect. We were close enough to enjoy the shopping and people watching in Waikiki; able to drive along the shore and enjoy the numerous beaches and famous lookout spots, as well as drive up into the mountains and feel like we were in another world; and visit the smaller neighboring cities and partake in the local establishments. We very much enjoyed the Chief’s Luau at Sea Life Park, just down the road, and the Star of Honolulu dinner cruise was amazing. Of course, the helicopter tour of the island was awesome! But just as perfect, was sitting by the pool taking in the beautiful surroundings of the estate. An added bonus to the secluded estate is the fact that it is located by a park/beach that the local Hawaiian people use. It was a learning experience to be able to watch as they played their music, danced, and hosted their extended families in customs different than our own. This is the perfect vacation spot and we have been recommending it to everyone! It has everything ��� you can be busy partaking in all that the island has to offer, or quietly sitting and enjoying the beauty of the mountains and ocean all around you. We cannot wait to come back!!!

We love the house and all of the amenities. It was great to relax and enjoy spending family time together away from the tourist areas yet it was close enough to venture out to all the popular spots. Our 4 year old grandson still ask when he gets to go back to the big house on the beach he love it so much he didn’t want to leave…we all felt the same way.

My wife and I have stayed in high-end places and resorts around the world including everything from the Burj al Arab in Dubai, to the monster suites in Las Vegas, to houses in Cabo, Scottsdale etc,and this place beats them all. My routine became breakfast on one of the porches facing the ocean, then gym, then sauna, then hot tub, then pool, then chaise lounge on the back grounds facing the ocean. Really, really cool. Oh yeah, I enjoyed playing the grand piano and the billiards table too. We walked out the back gate directly onto the beach. This place has it all. The only time I left the property was to play golf, to do the chief’s luau and to take a look at the north shore.

We brought our whole family to stay at Hale Pahonu, all 23 of us. We had fourteen adults and nine children, ages 2-23. The estate easily accommodated all of us, giving each of us our own area and plenty of common areas. Our goal was to make wonderful family memories, and we certainly achieved our goal. The estate was beyond our expectations! Everything was provided, even snorkel gear and lots of beach towels. The location was the best on the island, with beautiful views, a wonderful local’s park and even green sea turtles cruising by. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Our agent answered all our questions and was readily available. I would highly recommend Hale Pahonu for a luxurious get-away.

Absolutely an unforgettable vacation spot. We have toured all the Hawaiian islands and can truly say this is one of the best places in the islands. The Pacific views from this beautiful property are truly unequaled. This exclusive property is very well maintained and has all the ammentities you could want. I would definitely recommend this rental property for family reunions corporate meetings etc

Our family vacation, including children from 3 yrs. – 14 yrs., and their parents, was spectacular at this home. The location is perfect, there is every amenity you could want, the condition is better than photos show. AND they have incredible fencing to make this place absolutely safe for the youngest toddler., both inside and out. We never worried for a minute. Just amazing. We loved the locals at the beach and the children played together. The water is heavenly. The manager was available and answered every question. We’ve rented many places and this was by far the best. We have hundreds of pictures to validate everyone’s joy while staying at Pahonu Estate. Mahalo nui loa!

Thank you for a fantastic week in Hawaii. The house was wonderful. As a Dad of a youngster with special needs who enjoys climbing, and swimming – even if on his own – it was wonderful that you had the house set up with a significant baby gate system. This set up allowed us to actually relax and never fear that our boy would take a dive from the patios or take a dip in the pool unattended. This was a game changer when it comes to vacationing. Thank you so much. It was truly wonderful.

Our three-generation family of 12, ages 3-67, just returned from the most fantastic vacation imaginable! The Pahonu main house, with its wonderful amenities and beautiful location, provided the setting for our memorable week. We left for various adventures–hiking, scuba diving twice with Reef Pirates, Chief’s Luau, Dole Plantation tour, but it was always so nice to return to our beachfront paradise. We loved snorkeling and playing on the beach right outside, used the pool and beautiful hot tub every day, and the large, well-equipped kitchen enabled us to cook together and enjoy meals outside on the lanai or at one of the large tables. We also enjoyed the excellent sound system, gym, sauna, water slide, and the pool and beach toys, Special thanks to Ashley for her excellent customer service and immediate response to any question, large or small. We have rented many homes in various locations, but none compares to our experience at Pahonu. Certainly the best part of the trip was the oppo rtunity for our family, who live in different parts of California, to enjoy being together for a week. Siblings reconnected, little cousins enjoyed every waking moment playing together, and grandparents loved every minute of being with our family. This spacious, lovely house was an excellent choice, and we hope to return one day!”

Not only is the house Amazingly beautiful!, but is comfortable as well. All the Amenities you could want! Close to the most beautiful part of the island! We could go out and sight see, shop, and other tourist attractions and come right back without feeling we spent very long in a car. Could also just sit there and relax with the beautiful scenery and ocean breeze !! Love , Love, Love it there and hope to return!!

I have had the opportunity to Visit the island of Oahu a number of times. The most recent vacation, this past Aug. was with family members. this luxurious estate had all the comforts and conveniences of a five star hotel, including a work-out room, a sauna, a big pool complete with a water slide, and a jacuzzi! The clean, spacious, beautifully decorated rooms were very inviting and far exceeded our expectations! This was the perfect place to welcome each new day with a breathtaking ocean view and often a spectacular sunrise! We could have easily spent our entire vacation on this property, enjoying all that there was to do, such as swimming, snorkeling, shell collecting, etc. Because we were close by to many area attractions, we did venture outside the gates, to check them out! It was a treasured, memory making, family vacation ! I will definitely be returning to this fabulous paradise get away again!

Our stay at the Pahonu estate during the first part of December, 2014 was amazing! The home is spacious, comfortable and right on the beach! We really enjoyed the large heated swimming pool and spa and snorkeling (with the snorkeling gear provided with the rental!) just a 60 second walk from the house with private access to the beach. The estate is beautiful, very clean and bright and had all the amenities of a 5 star hotel with the privacy of a private home. The gourmet kitchen is complete with every tool needed to prepare and serve fabulous meals and beverages (we made good use of the blenders for our various frozen libations!). Loved the whole house music with all genres available at our fingertips. I must admit, we spent the vast majority of our visit to Hawaii at the estate because everything we wanted was right there: the beach, panoramic views (including Rabbit Island), snorkeling, swimming, beautiful outdoor spaces for lounging or entertaining, including large lanais on all three levels. Close by were Chief’s Luau and Sea Life Park, scenic views, various eateries, grocery and liquor stores. Even though we had a smaller group there, this luxury rental would be great for a larger party such as a family reunion or wedding.

It’s not often your expectations are exceeded!!! This place is amazing!!! Make sure to stop at Costco and the grocery store on your way from the airport because you won’t want to leave!!! There were 16 of us in our group and the estate and grounds offered more than enough space that we could have quiet private time or all gather together both inside or outside. The estate has everything you need from two fully stocked kitchens to snorkel, beach and pool gear. And if you’re traveling with little ones you don’t need to worry about bringing any baby gear- highchairs, pack n plays, swim rings, etc are all waiting for you! Also David the owner and Gilles the house manager were beyond helpful and personable making the entire experience a breeze!!! Our entire group agreed that we can’t wait to go back!!! And we couldn’t decide if we liked the ocean views or the mountain views better!!! You can’t go wrong booking this house for your next vacation! You won’t want to leave!!!

This home and the pictures of this home was as advertised and more. This was a trip planned for my (2) daughters and their families, there was a total of (12) people at this estate.The home is well appointed with everything that a 5 star hotel would provide and much, much more. Other than the clothe on our backs and grocery shopping, you will have no more needs at this home. It felt as though we rented a small boutique hotel all to ourselves. I am from Waimanalo and coming home in this fashion was well beyond my expectations. My four grandchildren could not get enough of all the activities that this house provided for, leaving was very hard for all of us. Gilles (the property manager) was the BEST, never a phone call away from any needs of ours that he didn’t take care of. Would we come back? Without a doubt.

The whole property was amazing. We couldn’t be more pleased with our stay. Everyone came home (and there were 20 of us) relaxed and refreshed. The main floor with the large main room and the lanai with perfect view of the ocean was incredible. And the pool and spa kept everyone happy. We made use of the kayaks, snorkeling gear, swim aids for the younger children – every thing we could think of was there for us to use. Much appreciated was the quality and quantity of the kitchen equipment and dinnerware. We ate dinner every evening at the house with each family doing a meal. So all the equipment got used. Can’t say enough about the staff, always available to help or answer questions. We had the housekeeping crew come in half way through the week and they were quiet, quick and thorough, even being careful to not wake the napping baby. Suggestion: with a house that big a simple book of instructions might be helpful – how the lights and fans work, how to refill the water coolers on each floor, etc. The ONLY negative was the first three nights the music coming from the public park next door was way too loud. Most of the music was pleasant but way too loud. This has been our best family vacation yet!! Thank you.

We had our entire family, 21 people ranging from newborn to 71. Everyone had a fantastic time. The pictures and descriptions do NOT do it justice. It is utterly amazing. Jodie and Gilles were so helpful, and every possible need was taken care of. I truly can’t recommend this place highly enough. Even after a week of all being together, when often you are ready to head home, no one wanted to leave!! As our 2 year old granddaughter said “I love pink Hawaii”. That was her name for the gorgeous pink house on the beach!!

Immaculate Beach Front Home!!!
My family and I had the pleasure to stay here for two weeks. After visiting Oahu for nearly half a dozen times, this was by far the best experience I have had thus far. We had 6 adults, 3 children, a toddler, and two infants vacationing with us and every single need was met for all age groups.
Once we landed, the VP of the residence met us at the airport with car seats and a booster seat for the children to put in our rentals so we would not have to rent them from the car rental company.
Upon arrival the kitchen was completely stocked with our customized grocery list that we had requested prior to our arrival. We only made one trip to the grocery store our entire stay and that was only to let the children pick out snacks of their choosing.
Gilles, the property manager, went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we wanted or could possibly need.
I could never describe the absolutely breathtaking views from every bedroom in this home. Crystal blue waters in front of you and beautiful volcanic mountains to the rear is nothing that I have ever experienced even with this being my 5th trip to Oahu.
One of my families favorite things was the pool and slide. Upon arrival that was one of the first things we did was “test the pool”. The kids immediately went down the slide into the pool and so I thought I would go down one time just to say I did it, and afterwards, my husband and I went down it nearly a dozen times every day. It was so fun and defiantly not “just for kids”.
As far as activities, the home owner booked everything we asked for and more. We went to Chief’s Luau which was only a 3 minute drive away. We also had a private luau complete with any and all local Hawaiian cuisine you could dream about. This was a highlight that the adults and kids will never forget! The fire dancer was amazing and interacted with the kids as much as the adults.
Our drive to Honolulu and Waikiki was only about 35 minutes and very convenient. The majority of the drive was along beautiful scenic highway where we stopped several times for pictures.
Makapuu Lighthouse, which is about a 3 minute drive from the home, is about a 2 mile hike that I would highly recommend. It was so clear the morning we hiked that we were able to see the island of Moloka’i and also West Maui in the distance.
I can not wait for our next trip back!

From the gated entrance to the gate to the beach we had everything we needed. As a family of 20, ranging in age from 5 months to 70, the very large living area and lanai with a fantastic view of the ocean gave us the space to interact with everyone. The children loved the pool with a slide and the spa – another great gathering area. Plenty of room for everyone. The owner had just done some major renovations making the house quite beautiful but still very homey. Can’t say enough about the kitchens. Again very well equipment. Even the chef we brought in one evening for a special birthday party was pleased. The property manager was there to greet us and walk us through the house. He even had the two high chairs we had requested for our two newest grandchildren there and ready for use. He was always just a phone call away for that quick question and stopped by a few times to just check up on us. For shopping Waimanalo was only 20 minutes away with a Whole Foods and a Target. And just five minutes down the road was a co-op with lots of fresh local food too. It was very easy to get anywhere for sight seeing. A little traffic now and then but we made it for shave ice on the North Shore in about 40 minutes. We would highly recommend this lovely home to anyone. It really did live up to what we saw and read in the listing.

Absolutely the best vacation ever! The house was everything we hoped and more!
This was a vacation to celebrate retirement with immediate and extended family. We had a total of 22 including children and couldn’t have been more comfortable! The house is amazing, the owner greeted us and could not have been more accommodating. The house was beautiful and spotless! We had an amazing time. Thanks so much for allowing us to make lifetime memories! The Johnson Family, Chesapeake, Virginia

This was the second time we have stayed there because this house is spectacular. Great location, amenities, and quick service whenever a question or problem come up. Internet speed was top notch, which is often the problem at hotels and other rental homes.

Amazing home, astounding views both front and rear of house. Well appointed, lots of art and attention to fine detail throughout the house, superb kitchen and eating areas (multiple eating areas!), clean and spotless throughout the home. Fresh bathrooms and bedrooms, great linens, a sparkling pool and hot tub and manicured lawn. White sand beach, great snorkeling and paddle board area.
You won’t go wrong here other than you will need to bring all your family and will still regret some didn’t make it. We travel often and this is one of the nicest places we have stayed.

We absolutely love the location and size of this property, this would be an amazing location for a wedding reception- the view of the rocks in the background looks absolutely spectacular! Being at this rental felt like our own private hotel, it was very spacious, comfortable and private. They even have a safety fence around the pool and yard, so our children could run and play safely. Our stay on this beautiful island felt like paradise, we almost never want to return to our normal lives.. We can't wait to tell our friends and family about our spectacular vacation! Thank you for letting us stay!

We love the house and all of the amenities. It was great to relax and enjoy spending family time together away from the tourist areas yet it was close enough to venture out to all the popular spots.
