North Shore Beach House at Bathtub Beach …

Drift off to sleep with the soothing sound of waves, watch the sun rise over the ocean, & live the Oahu, Hawaii beach house lifestyle you’ve always dreamed of. Oahu real estate like this is hard to find, with most beachfront homes and waterfront homes on Oahu far-exceeding this price point.

Down a semi-private flag lane, this oceanfront property on Oahu is a waterfront retreat at Bathtub Beach … a soft sandy beach, right next door, depending upon the tide and season.  Bathtub Beach is a unique shallow sandy pool area, perfect for sunning and swimming. Your Oahu real estate fronting this special spot is a bonus!

Keiki go crabbing & play in a calm lagoon. It’s like having a huge, infinity edge, saltwater swimming pool in your backyard!  Further out are reefs for snorkeling & surf breaks. You may even see our favorite visitor, the Hawaiian Monk seal. 

Unlike most Oahu real estate in this area, this Oahu beach house is set back on the lot, so there’s a large, grassy lawn for play. 

There’s also a large, protected, covered lanai for indoor-outdoor living & a warm outdoor shower to rinse-off. 

The kitchen has attractive concrete counters & a dishwasher, along with the standard appliances.

Wood accents, vaulted ceilings, and a skylight add style to this contemporary Oahu beach house.

One bedroom (of two) in this Hawaii beach home has an en-suite bathroom with tub.

There’s another good sized bedroom next door, and a second bathroom in the hallway.

This North Shore beach house is perfect for a weekend getaway or full-time residence.

Shopping & dining are nearby in Laie & Kahuku. Convenient also to BYU Hawaii, Polynesian Cultural Center, Laie Hawaii LDS Temple, and the Turtle Bay Resort & Golf Course.

Make your dreams of relaxed beach living come true in this North Shore Oahu beach home!

Oahu Real Estate Broker Featured on HGTV House Hunters Kailua Real Estate Episode

Kailua REALTOR and Principal Broker of Oahu Real Estate Brokerage, Home Shoppe Hawaii, Yvonne Ahearn, and her clients, Alex and Eliza Olaru, are being featured on the September 1, 2014 episode of HGTV House Hunters, shown at both 7pm and 10pm HST.

The House Hunters clients looked at real estate in Kailua, Oahu (a beach community 14 miles from Honolulu) including a Lanikai beach home and a Kailua home on the Kawainui Canal, as well as a fabulous view home in Kaneohe’s Lulani Ocean area. The Olaru’s budget was about $1.75 million. The episode was produced by the Laura Patterson of Pie Town Productions. Camera, sound, and production assistance by Jeff Santos and Dominic Pipia III, and Christine Kaaloa.

Left to Right: Dominic Pipia III, Jeff Santos, Alex Olaru, Eliza Olaru, Laura Patterson, Yvonne Ahearn, and Christine Kaaloa. Photo by Diane Pizarro. The Kailua home they toured was in the Koolaupoku neighborhood of Kailua and was at 833 Kainui (Duck) Road, on the Kawainui Canal. It was a large, two-story, new construction home, with a gourmet kitchen full of high-end applicances, and had beautiful spacious rooms and bathrooms. Because the Olarus also live with Eliza’s parents, as well as their two sons, the attached apartment in this home was especially attractive, as was the huge interior square footage. It featured an outdoor kitchen and screened lanai, with beautiful Kailua hillside and canal views. This home was listed for $1.75 million. This home had many of the modern features that Alex was looking for and was nearest to Kailua Beach where Alex prefers to spend time body boarding, and where their sons paddle outrigger canoes.

Here are some photos of this beautiful Kailua home:

The Lanikai, Kailua home featured was, of course, in the Lanikai neighborhood of Kailua and was located in the interior of the Lanikai loop. Since it was on Haokea street, this home was immediately adjacent to one of the best beach accesses in Lanikai, making a quick morning stroll on the beach a breeze. This home was competitively underpriced at $1.5 milion and featured an older, but high-end kitchen, a huge 14,000+ square foot lot, and separate cottage. The downside to this single-level plantation style home is that 3 of the four bathrooms in the main house were in need of a remodel. This home was built originally in the 1930’s so had some of the beach house charm, like french doors, that Eliza was looking for. It also was closest to Eliza’s favorite swimming beach, Lanikai.

Here are some photos of this charming Lanikai beach home:

The last home shown on the House Hunters episode was something that Home Shoppe Hawaii’s broker thought might appeal to both buyers, Eliza and Alex. Located about 10 miles away, in the community of Kaneohe’s Lulani Ocean area, this home had stunning views of Kaneohe Bay from two levels. The home had many of the plantation cottage type details that Eliza liked, but was completely remodeled and featured the upgrades that Alex preferred. The home had deeded ocean access, just across the Kamehameha Highway, though the beach did not really compare to either Kailua Beach or Lanikai Beach. This home was listed at $1.75M.

Here are some photos of this stunning Kaneohe view home:

NEW: Private and Exclusive Luxury Real Estate in Castle Point, Kailua, Oahu

If you desire an Oahu luxury homes neighborhood with a simple and relaxed notoriety, and a premium address in Kailua look no further. 7 Kailuana Place in the Beachside neighborhood of Kailua has been put on the market for the first time in over 40 years. This Castle Point address is among the most exclusive residences on Oahu.

At $5,500,000 this property is suprisingly well-priced for the area. The home itself, while quaint, interesting in its design to maximize the cooling tradewind breezes, and in original condition, is not the draw and will likely be torn down. Many newer luxury homes have gone up in the area and this is one of the last original homes. Other newer homes in the area have been sold for several millions more than this.

This is a significant price reduction from $36,000,000, as it was first listed back in January of 2012. I was able to preview this property on Thursday, at Broker’s Open House, and was given permission to take photos of this amazing, unique Kailua beach estate. It is truly a one of a kind beachfront home in Hawaii.

This home is a custom, Kailua beachfront estate designed and developed by the well-known Kerr-Michaels Design partnership. Kerr-Michaels developed another Kailua beachfront estate sold last year at 604D N. Kalaheo, also beachfront in Kailua. Like the beachfront residence at 604D, this spectacular home features a beautiful signature spiral staircase to the second floor, and lots and lots of covered outdoor living space.

This Kailua beachfront property is resort-like, with a relaxed tropical style and incredible privacy. This estate property in Kailua consists of three parcels, totalling almost 1 1/2 acres of lush paradise. The outside features the privacy and solitude of being far off the main road and down a meandering landscaped drive. 

The main residence on this fabulous Kailua beach propert has 5 bedrooms and over 10,000 sq ft of lavish interior living and lanais. There is also a completely separate 3 bedroom guest house on the property, outside the main gate of the home. While every amenity is provided in this home, it is understated and not ostentatious. This beachfront Hawaii home is truly a haven where you can kick back, and put your feet up to relax.

This Kailua beachfront home features gorgeous, custom details, which include beautiful stonework and fabulous hardwood details and workmanship. The use of lava rock is amazing! There is a gourmet chef’s kitchen and a home theatre, as well. There is approximately 100 feet of property frontage on the sweet spot on Kailua Beach, one of the #1 rated beaches in the world. Kailua Beach is known for its soft, white sand and swimmable turquoise waters. Sports activities such as windsurfing, snorkeling, surfing, Stand-up paddling, outrigger canoeing, and kayaking are perfect here. This amazing location complements the seamless indoor/outdoor living space that makes this Oahu beachfront home simply exquisite.

Gorgeous Custom Door is Only One Unique Feature of this Kailua Beachfront Estate. © 2012, Yvonne Jaramillo Ahearn.The guest house is in front of the main home, again, helping to ensure privacy. The main house is set far back from the beach, as well behind and expansive lawn area. Recording artist, Beyonce has stayed here on vacation and there is a large landscaped privacy wall fronting the pool to help ensure that looky-loo neighbors cannot see into the pool area. It was rumored recently that this home was being purchased by President Obama, but that rumor is unfounded.  Certainly, it would meet his privacy requirements, and those of most any other celebrity. The entries to both the property and to the main home are gated. This home is conveniently located approximately 1 mile to the center of Kailua Town and about 30 minutes from Honolulu International Airport.

15 Pueohala Place, now listed for $3,000,000 (a $295K reduction).

There have been only 3 sales for Kailua Beachfront Homes at $3M or under since 1/1/2006.

350 Dune Circle sold for $2,880,000 in October 2010. (#2 on Map, Below) This Kailua Oahu Beach House was 4BR/3BA and 2,644 sq ft on a 13,153 sq ft lot. The home was a tad bit dated and the floor plan seemed a bit cramped for its size. Also, the home was situated right next to the public beach access, making it less quiet and less private than the Pueohala home. It did have a nice large front entry space and was on Dune Circle which is a great little Kailua subdivision with Hawaii luxury homes, in the Beachside neighborhood of Kailua, with wide streets and several other well-kept Oahu beach homes and some non-beachfront homes, as well.

21 Pilupu Place sold for $3,000,000 in September 2009. (#4 on Map, Below) This Kailua Oahu Beach House was 4 BR/ 4.5 BA and on a 3,008 sq ft. lot. This was a pretty funky, not so little home, with a lot of Lava Rock and a pretty much indoor/outdoor living room, in the camping out sort of way. Well, there is no really nice way to say it other than this Oahu beach house needed a complete renovation!

40 Kaapuni, #1 sold for $2,800,000 in January 2006. (#3 on Map, Below) I did not actually see this Oahu beach house when on the market, but This home was 4BR/4.5BA and 2,753 sq ft on a 10, 913 sq ft CPR lot. A CPR lot is a condominum “subdivision” of land with another lot. For a full and better description of what a CPR is see my blog post on CPRs.

The Oahu Beach House at 15 Pueohala Place that was recently reduced to $3,000,000 will make 4 sales of Kailua Oahu Beachfront Homes at $3,000,000 or less (unless the get an offer over asking), and I am pretty sure it will not last for too much longer.

View from Master Suite of this Oahu Beach House. 15 Pueohala Place in Kailua, Oahu, Hawaii.

What does this Oahu beach house have going for it? Beach frontage, on a nice spot on Kailua Beach. For now, a relatively empty lot next door, so views from every room. (See above.) And, even if next lot is built on, toward the back side by beach, the main living space would retain all views. There is also protected and private pool area (below), not facing beach. Nicely updated. High ceilings for a very spacious feel. Move-in ready.

What makes the Pueohala Kailua, Oahu Beach House a lower price than some others? … the lot size mainly, as most of the value in almost any Oahu beach house is in the lot. This lot is is 10,000 square feet. Still a healthy size, but smaller than many of the others. On the positive side, there is less space to maintain and pay taxes on. It is not brand-new remodeled (remodeled in 2007) or built (1970 build) but still looks great and has great beach frontage in Kailua.

This makes this Oahu Beach House in Beachside Kailua a “Best Buy” in my book!
