Located directly on spectacular Tonggs Beach, this posh 3BR/2.5BA home looks fresh from the pages of a design magazine. Listed on the State Register of Historic Places, this architecturally significant Gingerbread Home has been beautifully updated with modern appointments including custom furnishings and a gourmet kitchen.
Walk right down to the crystal-clear waters and admire fabulous sunsets from three private lanais. Enjoy an oceanfront cookout in the charming courtyard or unwind into vacation mode from the comfort of the primary suite -- which occupies the entire top floor.

My husband and I have used VRBO for our last few vacations. We are careful to read descriptions and reviews. We chose this house as we needed the room and location as we were here to celebrate our son’s wedding.
Overall, this house was beautiful with outstanding views. Location was just as described. Enjoyed the surfers each morning while having our morning coffee on the balcony/lanai.
With that being said, I do have a couple of suggestions. A vacuum cleaner or some type of sweeper is needed for a quick cleanup. Had my son and groomsmen there to dress. Would have been nice to just do a quick vacuum. Also, a new ironing board is desperately needed. Thank goodness I brought a steamer. Had to steam and press wedding and rehearsal attire.
Third floor outdoor furniture needs either new cushions or needs to be totally replaced, Quite dated and Cushion on one chair was totally frayed. Had to turn it over and cover with a towel.
We also had an issue with the alarm system. Handyman was there several times to try and fix to no avail. Alternate arrangements had to be made for entry.
Hope this is helpful.

Reviewer Comments:
We absolutely loved this house! It was perfect for our family of 4 teenagers. It's located about a 15 - 20 walk from Waikiki beach, the walk is easy, mostly along the park. You can sit on the deck in the morning and drink your coffee, you can sit on the deck during the day and watch boats, ships, surfers, airplanes and helicopters. You can also sit on the deck at night with a glass of wine or whiskey and watch the beautiful sunset. If your looking for more of a private get-away, this is the place for you. The neighbors are wonderful, especially the aunt that lives next door.

The property was absolutely perfect, exactly as advertised. It was well maintained and very functional, met all our desires and needs. Not to detract in any way from what a great property this is, I would suggest providing Toilet cleaning tools and supplies in each bathroom, and getting all of the Refrigerator drawers operational.
