Quiet Beachfront Home at the Base Of Diamond Head | House in Honolulu

Experience the Tranquility of a Quiet Beachfront Home at the Base of Diamond Head

Welcome to your serene retreat at the Quiet Beachfront Home at the Base of Diamond Head, where paradise awaits you. Nestled in a historic property built in 1937 by Charles W. Dickey and recently revitalized, this sanctuary greets you with its own private park adorned with native Kukui and Ulu trees swaying gently in the cool trade winds. As you wander through the lush grounds, you'll discover flourishing mango, lime, avocado, and banana trees that enhance the tropical ambiance.

The sprawling yard naturally draws your gaze to the stunning crystal blue waters of the Pacific Ocean. Step through the breezeway doors, allowing the refreshing trade winds to envelop you as you take in the breathtaking views that showcase the true essence of Hawaii. The oceanfront lanai, perched above a white sandy beach, invites you to bask in the soothing scents, sights, and sounds of the ocean, instantly melting away your worries.

This remarkable home is thoughtfully designed into two main areas connected by a breezeway. One side offers peaceful, air-conditioned bedrooms equipped with full baths and amenities for your comfort. The other side exemplifies open-air Hawaiian living at its best. Open the expansive doors, seamlessly merging the indoor and outdoor spaces, and enjoy the beauty that surrounds you. Period-appropriate furnishings create an inviting atmosphere for relaxation and appreciation of Hawaii's splendor. With over 20-foot vaulted ceilings, the living room features a fireplace set within a coral wall, while rich Koa and Mahogany woods accentuate the elegance of this classic house. Original stamped and stained cement floors flow throughout, adding a touch of historical charm.

The modern kitchen is both open and airy, featuring seating for eight around the island, alongside laundry facilities and a convenient powder bath. Before entering the tranquil bedroom wing, you'll find a complete bathroom and changing room off the breezeway. The sleeping quarters consist of three spacious private suites, each accompanied by its own full bathroom, providing quiet and restful slumber away from the main living area.

For early risers, step out onto the beach for a rejuvenating swim or surf session while witnessing the sunrise kiss the horizon above Diamond Head. Enjoy snorkeling adventures to see turtles and vibrant fish, or hunt for beautiful shells along the shore. Depending on the season, the beach may even surprise you with excellent beachcombing opportunities for various types of sea glass. As the day ends, witness stunning sunsets and rising moons from your oceanfront seating area or while savoring a delightful dinner on the grill. In winter, take advantage of whale watching right from the lanai, while surfing remains accessible year-round just steps from your door. If you're traveling with children, they'll love the vast expanse of the yard to run and play, making it truly a rare gem along the shores of Waikiki and Diamond Head.

Your private oasis is merely a stone's throw from Waikiki and Kapiolani Park. Feel free to use our beach cruisers for leisurely rides around Diamond Head, to the park, or through Waikiki. A casual stroll along the shoreline promenade provides a perfect backdrop for sunset views as you make your way to fine dining options along the gold coast or in Waikiki.
