Welcome to The Gingerbread House, a charming accommodation that comfortably sleeps up to 10 guests and is ideally situated directly across from Kahala Beach.

This historic residence features a fully equipped professional kitchen, showcasing top-of-the-line appliances, a separate ice maker, television, and bar seating, making it perfect for family culinary adventures. Adjacent to the kitchen is the formal dining room, designed to comfortably seat eight guests.
