KEY Curation Notes

Dramatic oceanfront in Portlock — but no sandy beach on the property. The estate sits directly above Maunalua Bay on Portlock's rocky coastline, with a private access path down to the tide pools below. Hanauma Bay, one of Oahu's premier snorkeling beaches, is about a mile away. The sunsets over Diamond Head from this west-facing position are exceptional.
The architecture is genuinely extraordinary. Designed by renowned Hawaii architect Jim McPeak, the 8,800-square-foot estate opens with a floating-step entrance, an oversized pivot door, and a great room with 25-foot ceilings, an indoor waterfall, and walls of glass that frame the Pacific. The infinity-edge pool and jacuzzi visually dissolve into the horizon — one of the more photographed elements in this portfolio.
Every bedroom has its own ensuite. Five of the six bedrooms are kings; the detached guest cottage has a queen. The upstairs primary suite is the standout — cal king bed, soaking tub with ocean views, private sitting room with desk, and its own lanai. The downstairs primary suite includes an attached gym and exterior hammock area off the bathroom.
Pool heat is optional at $250/day plus tax. The infinity pool is included; heating it requires an additional daily charge — relevant for winter stays when East Honolulu evenings cool off more than expected.
The property is currently listed for sale. Showings may be arranged during your stay at a mutually agreeable time — worth factoring in for a full-month stay. KEY.co grocery delivery is a practical option here; Koko Marina and Hawaii Kai Town Center are close, and arriving fully stocked makes the chef's kitchen the center of the stay it's designed to be.

Reviews

Walter Bugno

Talk about a view!! This property had one of the best views we have ever seen. Sunsets were amazing every night and we saw turtles swimming, seals sunbathing and numerous rainbows. We just cannot get over the authentic Hawaiian experience we had and what a treat it was for the whole family. The house was brand new, everything was new and in perfect condition. Everything worked flawlessly and the whole family was very comfortable. Truly luxury accommodations.
