1. Hilinai

Welcome to Hilinai, a charming penthouse-style hideaway perched above a lush garden in Kaneohe. This peaceful retreat features its own private entrance through an automatic gate, leading to a covered carport and then up an exterior stairway to a spacious deck with 360-degree views. On the deck, you’ll find a chaise lounge and chairs—perfect for sipping morning coffee or watching the sunset. Inside, the space is cozy and thoughtfully designed. There’s a kitchenette with a microwave, sink, and cupboard space, and kitchen supplies are available on request. The main sleeping area has a comfortable king bed, and there’s room for two additional guests on futons tucked into a desk area — meaning the space can sleep up to four. A highlight of the property is the tree house in the yard, adding a playful and whimsical touch to the setting. The yard is surrounded by planters and greenery, giving the whole place a tranquil, garden‑hideaway feel. While this is a relaxing escape, note that campfires are not permitted on the property. Hilinai is the kind of place where you can disconnect and unwind under open skies, surrounded by nature, all while being close enough to explore the beauty of Oahu.
