Hawaii Kai

Hawaii Kai has a character all its own: built around a network of waterways and a full-service marina, this east Oahu community feels more like a relaxed coastal town than a Honolulu suburb, and that is a large part of its appeal. Families return year after year for the ease and variety of what surrounds it: Hanauma Bay, one of the world's most celebrated snorkeling destinations, sits just around the bend. Sandy Beach and Makapuu are minutes away, offering dramatic bodysurf breaks and sweeping views of the Windward Coast. The neighborhood itself is walkable, well-served by local restaurants and shops, and far calmer than anything closer to Waikiki. Gather's vacation rentals in Hawaii Kai give families and groups a generous, residential home base from which East Oahu's best experiences are all within easy reach.
