Beachfront Kailua Home For Sale: President Obama's Rental Home on Oahu

Yesterday, at Broker’s Open House in Kailua, Oahu, I had the opportunity to view an exquisite beachfront home at Castle Point. Interestingly, it also happened to be part of the group of homes that was used by President Obama and his family for their December 2008 vacation in Kailua.

Kailua is a laid-back beach town, about 14 miles from downtown Honolulu. This Kailua Beachside Neighborhood property, formerly part of the Harold KL Castle Estate, sits on almost an acre of land in a prestigious gated community known as Castle Point. Castle Point is at the end of Kailuana Place through the also exquisite Kainalu Park Area in Kailua. The back of this Kailua estate for sale fronts the tranquil aquamarine waters of Kailua Bay and one of the best white sand beaches in the US, if not the world. Recreational activities enjoyed on Kailua Beach area include windsurfing, kitesurfing, stand-up paddling, kayaking, swimming, and of course, suntanning. You may even frequently spot a honu or two! The front of this Beachside Neighborhood home for sale is on a quiet, wide, dead-end street, that fronts the Kaiwanui Canal, leading to the ocean.

The wood-frame Tropical Plantation style luxury home, built in 2006, is almost 5,000 sq feet under roof, with almost 2,000 square feet of open lanai, and has 5 bedrooms and 5 1/2 baths. The entry to the home is gated and features a spacious and private front courtyard area with tropical landscape, a pool, waterfall and whirlpool. The open floor plan of this Kailua home features many rooms opening directly into the spectacular courtyard, maximizing the flow of the cool tradewinds from the ocean.

The architectural detail and finish work, including stained glass, stonework, and intricately carved wood, at this Beachside Neighborhood home are impressive, yet not pretentious. This fine home is still suitable to the relaxed beach lifestyle of Kailua. This home is listed at $8.9 Million. Qualified buyers, please call me for an appointment or for more information on this property. 808-721-8088.
