There is very little property on this side of the island these days, maybe even in town that is private and without neighbors AND WITHOUT street lights. When you drive from the property heading towards the main highway, it’s like you’ve entered the twilight zone (hustle and bustle.)
This island, Hawaii nei close to becoming a concrete island with deep rooted history and culture, we try hard to remember & preserve.
We pule ( gather together in prayer before grounding ourselves to the Aina with food
By staying here you will get a sense of something meaningful. I believe this valley, with its history has spiritual roots and each person will have a unique connection, an experience you just can’t seem to pin point.
There is much work to do here. I am hopeful next year, a huge difference
There are no streetlights and no neighbors for 2 1/2 miles from the left and right side from the house.
This is not your average resort type or average residential area such as a subdivision. The property is located on a historical gathering place.
The entire front area of the duplex is the patio. You will be hanging with the birds mountain side.
We currently have a brand new 4-6 person inflatable hot tub out on the patio area. He is also a new single person drive range. You can hit golf balls into the mountains across the street.neon golf balls for night time. Golf balls are for purchase and is located in the patio and sold on a invisible handshake contract. Pricing is displayed. Malama pono is your choice. The master bath has a steam sauna , every bedroom has a mini Bluetooth karaoke stere with 2 mini microphones. The mini putt put and above ground pool is currently being decided on where to place both and other key matters. The laundry room is shared with the other unit
Stargazing is magnificent here.
There is so much history here.
The view of the KoleKole Pass is breathtaking., especially mornings and evening before the sun sets.
We only offer natural attractions of which is on the land naturally and our cultural ways of celebrating, and the ways of Aloha and Malama to all.
If you wish for resort type, we are only 8 minutes away from Koolina resorts and Kapolei shopping area.
The duplex house is located on coral, being non-arable is impossible for growing yearly crops. So we have found other ways to help pay the cost of residential water instead of paying farmers price for water that we are not given even though this property is, “AGRICULTURE 2” . Other costs as well.
Mom and I usually water plants around the property during the evenings when it's cooler weather. FYI, Mom is notorious for gift giving. We accomodate personal tour guides too. Ask me for a lifetime original where no commercial touris able to take you. I have a key to the government gate which leads to another world, located at the point of kaena
Aloha Mai,

We had such an amazing time here. The house was beautiful, very clean, and comfortable for my family and I. The host was very informative about fun things to do on the island. We enjoyed staying here. I would definitely recommend this vacation home to family and friends.

Josephine and her mom were great hosts and were very attentive through the duration of our stay. If you are looking for a place to stay, away from the hustle and bustle, this is the place. I highly recommend it!

We wanted someplace away from the hustle and bustle, someplace local. And that’s what we got. The home is beautiful Josephine and he family are amazing! Wish we would have chosen to stay longer ❤️

I would rate this with 5 million stars if I could. It was clean. The house was very nice and the beds were comfortable. It is not a five star hotel but the owner was the best person that I have ever dealt with. She went above and beyond to make sure that everything was taken care of and there for us. I not only found the best place to stay but made a lifetime family and friend in the process. I may not live in Hawaii but my heart will always be there.

We had a wonderful week. The home was clean, beds were comfortable. Jo made sure we had everything needed. If there was something she didn’t have, she tried her best to accommodate us quickly. She had all the things we needed for the beach including a pop up canopy, umbrellas and boogie boards. Thank you Jo for your hospitality!

The house is a nice modest home/duplex, which seems to be a work in progress, in a quiet secluded area. The surrounding area isn’t the nicest with a lot of homeless people but the home is far enough away from other homes and the beach area that it doesn’t become an issue with security at the home. The owners, Josie and V, are very nice people who love Hawaii and want the people that stay there to know and also love Hawaii. Overall, this was a good choice for our vacation. We were able to get to things we wanted to see and do during the day and have a quite place to come back to at night. It was also nice to have a place to sit and visit or eat meals together anytime. It was much better for a large group, like ours, than having separate hotel rooms. We would recommend this place to others staying on Oahu, especially to groups that would need multiple hotel rooms.

The stay here has been excellent. The host was very helpful every step of the way even when there was some issues in the city with water, etc. She really makes you feel like ohana. Throughout our trip we were offered helpful local hints to make our stay more enjoyable as well as sights to see and visit. The house was lovely. It’s in remodel process, but that doesn’t hinder anything. After first arriving we initially thought it was gonna be quite the drive everyday being on this side of the island and more in the countryside, but after seeing the madhouse that is Waikiki and Honolulu (high traffic, high amounts of people, and typical bid city stuff), it ended up being the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle. You could really relax and enjoy your trip and take in the sights.

This was a perfect place away from the " touristy" places to stay .the owners are fantastic wonderful people who made us feel like part of thier family. Close to all the things we wanted to see and do but far enough away from the hussel and bussel of the normal tour areas we loved it thank you Jo and V .

We had the BEST time at this place. Everything we needed was there for all of us. West side of the island. Secluded from the hustle of downtown yet drivable as the island is. Good recommendations on places to visit. A shave ice machine and portable hot tub was even included! It was my in-laws and kids first time on the island.. and boy did they have a blast! Cannot wait to return to the island and this beautiful place again. Mahalo from California

Nothing can compare to our vacation here. This VRBO had something to offer for everyone in our party. They either had everything we were looking for or is located close to what we needed, adding to the convenience of it all. Being able to eat and relax in our own private lanai was a treat in itself. The jacuzzi in the lanai was perfect after a long day of gallivanting. Everyone in our party always raved about the extra space and amenities, saying “We would never experience all of this at a hotel!” All the amenities it offered were really conducive to and promoted the rest and relaxation which we all were long overdue. We all enjoyed the much needed privacy, peacefulness, and calm afforded by this place. We were also fortunate enough to experience a luau celebration held at the pavilion on this property, at a fraction of the usual cost elsewhere. Not only were we able to check “luau” off our bucket list, we saved a lot of money too! The hosts were friendly, gracious, and accommodating. They gave excellent recommendations for local foods, entertainment, and attractions. Thanks Josephine and Vee for an amazing stay at your VRBO! We will be back!

What can I say? This is a great 4 bedroom 2 bath home to stay in. Home was very clean and comfortable. Very well decorated. It has a large patio area to relax outside. Away from the hustle and bustle of town but still close enough drive to see all the sites. Nice beaches close by. The host are very friendly and accommodating. They go out of there way to make you feel comfortable and are always available to answer questions or to recommend things to do in the area. We definitely plan to stay here again if we ever make to back to this island.

We needed to head home for a Celebration of Life, we needed a place that was quiet, but not far from the main roads to get us to Ewa, Kapolie and Mililani and on one day even the north shore :-) The house was perfect and the host was thoughtful, kind and very communicative. The case of water that was provided was an unexpected treat! Having a washer and dryer, easy to set-up TV and WiFi made the stay comfortable and relaxing. Two large bathrooms! Large kitchen, island and dining room made breakfasts and dinners super easy for our kids and whole family. We will definitely return, perhaps every time we visit home!

This is not 5 star facility but a quiet place in nature away from the crowds. Our stay was enhanced by our gracious hosts, Pauline and Vi. The rooms were spacious and clean and the beds were comfortable. Yes, there were things that need done but they were working on them.
