No Neighbors&streetlights.Last country still standing. becoming a concrete Isle.

Aloha,
First, you must contact me before booking. If you book before contacting me for a quote, it will be canceled due to issues of double bookings.
OK? Please no pilikea.
If you want to come stay at my house, contact me first.:).

The house is a huge duplex. A duplex is two units with a wall separating these units. Some duplex houses have a door in the middle locked on each side to separate or open if the two units is rented as a whole. Both units are Very spacious and comfortable.
This 2 bedroom 1 bath unit is approximately 1600 square feet. A lanai in front and deck. You will be hanging with the birds, Mauka Westside.
When you click on for the final total cost of your stay, you are still getting a way better deal and less expensive than some studios, 1 or 2 bedrooms.
The listing cost less than you think.
If you find a similar 2 bedroom 1 bath in this are kapolei, Waianae or Makaha, please let me know, I will do my best to accommodate you.
The nightly rate covers the property. The fees go to the locals who do the work keeping this place operating and ongoing improvements for a goal of what I want to achieve in the future in making an exclusive private place to stay with private health amenities such as a hot tub with all the bells a whistles, steam sauna, cold plunge, self salon, meditation areas around the property, etc. One day I will have A healing arts room practicing auna & jin shin jyutsu.(ask me)I will Auna with little lomi lomi, very little. I do not massage. I will only take 2 week advance appointments and you must call me, no text, to schedule a session on property, your rental.
This is not your average resort type or average residential area such as a subdivision. The property is located on a historical gathering place.
There is very little property on this side of the island these days, maybe even in town that is private and without neighbors AND WITHOUT street lights. When you drive from the property heading towards the main highway, it’s like you’ve entered the twilight zone. Lol meaning hustle and bustle of everyday Life. This island is becoming concrete, The scarce Oahu island Hawaii nei. Visiting the Hawaiian islands wanting to just relax, It seems we pay to even just do that.
By staying here you will get a sense of something meaningful. I believe this valley, with its history has spiritual roots and each person will have a unique connection, an experience you just can’t seem to pin point.
There is much work to do here. I am hopeful next year, a huge difference…. All with good intentions.
Coming soon- outside shower with privacy enclosure around the shower except under the sun or moon and stars. Why not, no neighbors.
This is a fairly new duplex house. Before we decided to list on Vrbo as a short term rental, this duplex was rented as a monthly rental for about three years.
The duplex house is located on coral, being non-arable is impossible for growing yearly crops. So we have found other ways to help pay the cost of residential water instead of paying farmers price for water that we are not given even though this property is zoned , “AGRICULTURE ZONE 2.” We only offer natural attractions of which is on the land naturally and our cultural ways of celebrating, and the ways of Aloha and Malama to all.
If you wish for resort type, we are only 8 minutes away from Koolina resorts and Kapolei shopping area.
Across the street is preserved land ( preserve one)
It’s almost a private hiking spot. Very beginner to advanced hiking.

History: A high ranking navy officer was first to buy this land across from the house and all the way down towards the main highway. He raised cattle and used the natural resources of rocks on the mountains for the construction of several corrals, keeping the cattle from straying. If you hike up the mountain in front of the house just 10-15 feet up, you will be able to see the corrals made of stacked rocks if you look towards the left side of the street, close to the beginning of Lualualei Naval Road. You can also see stacked rocks going up the mountain and joining to naturally formed sides of the mountain used as fences,
We also have a huge open pavilion for family cultural gatherings.
In historical times and now this gathering place still exists for locals historical cultural events. Our culture is to Gather together, ku ka ku ka ku ka( talk story), eat, Aloha Aina, malama Aina, malama kupuna, keiki, Ohana, everything, everyone.
Just so you know, we are local people & are as laid back but hardworking people.
Ekalamai, We are new to VRBO. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to improve your stay now or for future reference, we are always learning and looking forward to your feedback.
Now,

History: Foreigners came to this property for the purpose of trading goods, livestock, plants, and all sorts of things.
Foreigners would then spend the night to rest for the next days journey going through the pass of the kolekole’s sheer cliffs, leading onto the north side of the island without having to go all the way around the island to do more trading, gatherings, and telling stories of their journeys.
Then making their way back the next day and eventually back onto their ships.
When King Kalakaua reigned the Kingdom of Hawaii in 1874, I was told from a prominent source, that King Kalakaua acquired huge amounts of coal from different countries. The huge bins that stored all this coal is still in the very same spot and you can see all the scorch marks of coal located on the docks in Pearl Harbor. Unseen by citizens. The King knew someone will be coming for the collection of $$ for the large quantities of coal. He had no real money, only his kingdom and lands was what was of interest. The King wanted to know who will be first to arrive?
The king had young boys ages 12-16, if I remember correctly, settle on this very place for the purpose of sending these young scouts up to the top of several mountains surrounding this place and along the kolekole mountains to be a lookout for ships coming to Oahu. The Kolekoke is a huge advantage because You can see as far as you can see across the ocean. From the kolekole point, you can see both the north and the south.
These young boys were allowed to be married at a young age and have keikis ( children).

Lualualei Naval Base station, our neighbor, leads to the The kolekole passage from the south and north side. Kolekole is still being used by the United States military. Huge military vehicles drive up and down the lualualei naval road almost every week or even more.
There is tall posts with red lights always flashing. These are low sonar detectors for detecting deep underwater. Submarines??
A retired official who knew my grandfather, tells me one day I should know the history of where I live. I am given the history and shown government records of what I share with you here.
I have seen things not too many people from Hawaii know of.
Maika’i, very thankful to know history of where I live..
I will add more to this listing, But for now come stay, and be a part of history. Learn a skoshi( little) bit of our unique culture of our Hawaii Nei.
Family, cultural, gatherings are celebrated here on this propert
Cultural events like, “1st birthdays,”is a historical cultural event due to the fact , Hawaii not having modern medicine to treat serious illnesses, if baby lived to be one years old, it was something big and worth celebrating. This was the biggest celebration than any other. This historical celebration is still going on big today. All cultural events here from different people always have over 150 to over 300 people that are just family and friends. Yes, big family events is also a long time culture in Hawaii. So if you wish, come stay, Be Ohana, Our hanai(adopted) family.
While your here, if there happens to be a cultural event happening, please come join the evening celebration.
You’re privacy and time spent here is important to us. We welcome you to communicate anything you’re interested in on these islands and what we offer. We will provide you with information as best we can.
We will only give information about events that happen here upon your request. This is your kuliana(preference) we most certainly respect.

We also ask for you’re kokua helping us with the preservation of this place to stay as natural as possible for the very important nature this is home to the Kolea, Alaskan migrating birds, also known as the pacific golden plovers.
The Kolea needs every ounce of support to keep their second home “As Is,” with only small changes. We greatly appreciate you’re assistance while you’re stay here, if you happen to spot one on the property, may you consider taking a little time, less than a minute and take photos or short videos of the kolea while they are here during winter in Alaska. These little birds are not swimmers, they will drown. How they fly 3 days straight without stops to Alaska is incredibly unique.

If I do not respond to your inquiries sooner than later, I apologize,as of now, I do labor, office, and yard work a lot. I will get back to you but please call or text my cellphone for quicker response.

Aloha Ma’i,
Josephina Lapina
