1005 E Kailua Rd, Kailua, HI 96734

Ready to show any time. Apply now for January move in! This is a fully furnished executive style home with a pool and hot tub on 1.5 acres at the end of a quiet, dead end private road in a private neighborhood. The neighborhood feels completely secluded but is only two long blocks walk to the heart of Kailua Town. The city bus stops at end of our private lane. I am seeking a quiet professional, professional couple or adult friends wishing to work locally or remotely. It would be terrific place for a couple who is in transition to or from Hawaii. The Kaneohe Marine Base is nearby so this would also work for officers or retired officers. The United Kingdom's military has rented it the past three years for their visiting officers. I had been hoping to do a vacation rental (since I would be able to assure quiet for my neighbors as I am often living on site) but new laws require a minimum 90 day lease. The lease could be renewable for the right tenants. This is the perfect place to enjoy a taste of the Hawaiian countryside with two of the best beaches (Kailua and Lanikai) in the world 1.9 miles away. It is fun to walk or bike to the beach. The property is zoned country. The house can be open air. It has huge picture windows, sliding glass doors with screens that open the house up to the outdoors and doors that open to the outside from every room! Neighbors cannot see in, so windows are left uncovered, except in the bedrooms. The house has bedroom air-conditioners, which have rarely been used as the breeze and fans create a tropical atmosphere with comfortable natural temperature, year round. This is the place to be if you like close access to town but true country living. The roosters may wake you up in the morning. We do have a pest control service provided free of charge, lol! In addition to enjoying country living, you will also want to be a dog lover, as I am and typically have a dog or two with me when I am in residence. Currently I only have one. He would not enter your private yard (unless you leave the gate open, lol), but would share the common space. And, yes, he barks when he hears or sees you because he wants to say hi and invite you to play. This behavior will cease if you are not a dog person, although I really do not think you would enjoy being here if you are not. He instinctively knows who wants to say hi (and play) and who doesn't. He gets excited to see me when I come home and barks like he has never seen me before when I go out to play with him. Currently, I only have one, since I just lost his companion. He is in training to be a service dog. This being said, we have rarely been there the past two years. But I plan to be there more often. Trying to retire, lol! The home is completely furnished, including beach towels, and has recreational equipment for body boarding, surfing, snorkeling and back yard games. There may be a couple of bikes in our storage closet . Kailua has AWESOME beaches and hiking, all within walking and biking distance from the house. We even have a hilltop trail hike in our neighborhood. The original home has been divided and my adult (middle aged) daughter and I reside in separate, but adjoining, quarters on the other side of the house. However, one of my goals for renting is so that the property is occupied when we are away, which is often. I live primarily on another of my properties (where I own a nursery and garden center) and go back and forth and my daughter often works off site overnight. When in residence, we will be sharing the large part of the yard, courtyard and the solar heated pool with you. I am a single elderly (immunocompromised) female, so I do not have large parties at home. My family likes to come to swim and cookout when I am here. I am a retired professor and now own a nursery and garden center. I will be living at the nursery most of the time, since I no longer enjoy driving. The property has security cameras in the front and back of the house but, truthfully, no one knows this private road even exists. It does not even have a name! I do not really want to allow pets because neighbors do not like barking and I am not sure how my dog(s) would do with yours. I might entertain allowing a neutered dog over the age of 3 (preferably female as mine is male for compatability) that is a labrador retriever, golden retriever or similar breed, who has passed the canine good citizen test. My current dog is a 4 year old half lab, half golden mix. I will give preference to applicants without dogs initially. I look forward to showing my property to you. I can show it any time. Move in will be after the holidays. I have listed January 10th but I am totally flexible for the right person. Mahalo for reading! My home is available to tour now anytime. I will be utilizing the space for the holidays and have set the move in date to January 10th, but am extremely flexible. I just need time to take down all the Christmas decor! I live on the other side of the house and am in no hurry to rent this space so I can be flexible for the right tenant. The rental half of the house was originally conceived as a vacation rental until our laws changed preventing short term rentals. Therefore, it is completely furnished! It has absolutely everything you will need except your toothbrush, and it may have one or two of those. Just bring your personals and move in when I kove out. I will leave everything there for you to use. Tenant pays half the electricity. All other utilities and services are paid by landlord, including: water, sewer, parking, landline phone, internet, pest control, yard service and pool service. I basically have a no pet policy because of my dog (half labrador retriever and half golden retriever). That being said, I would consider a dog who has passed the Canine Good Citizen Test . No smoking or illegal drugs. Community quiet hours are at 10 pm. No loud parties. The larger yard and courtyard with pool are shared space (with me). Tenants have their own smaller fenced back yard with a covered lanai. Lease is 90 days (the shortest lease available under Hawaii regulations for this zoning) with month to month possible after that expires. Long term is possible for the right tenants. On site parking and laundry is available at no charge.
