5 Island Homes with Ocean Views and Serene Living Across Hawaii

On Waikoloa Beach Drive in Waikoloa, this well maintained townhome balances privacy with easygoing resort-style living. A single-car attached garage simplifies daily arrivals, and with no residential units above or below, the interiors feel notably self-contained. The first level is organized around an open floor plan with vaulted ceilings, elevated to capture additional windows and an abundance of natural light across the living, dining, and kitchen areas. Off the dining area, an outdoor lanai looks out to the Colony Villas largest pool, framed by tropical landscape and lush plantings. A half bathroom completes the downstairs layout, while the home’s two bedroom, two and a half bathroom configuration supports both quiet retreats and easy hosting. Steps from the front door, the pool invites unhurried afternoons in the shade of greenery.

With the ocean as its backdrop, this hidden gem offers a rare blend of green space and a multi-level layout in very good condition. Inside, laminate wood flooring is currently in place, though the AOAO does not permit it; the seller will credit the buyer toward new carpet. The kitchen is ready for TLC, leaving room to personalize the heart of the home at your own pace. Practical details are thoughtfully handled, with a 1-car garage plus one assigned parking space located right across from the front door. Beyond the front entry, daily life can extend outdoors to a cozy pool area, and an on-site exercise room supports an easy routine close to home. It’s a setting that invites slower mornings, simple comforts, and time well spent.

Rising above Honolulu in Moana Pacific’s coveted 05 stack West Tower, this high-floor residence frames panoramic ocean views from every room through floor-to-ceiling windows. The rarely lived-in layout offers two bedrooms, two baths, and a versatile den that can serve as a third bedroom, along with spacious living areas, engineered hardwood floors, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances—including a brand-new washer/dryer and new dishwasher. An updated vanity with a quartz top and modern fixtures complements central AC and bright, airy interiors. Step onto the private lanai to take in the water outlook, then return to the ease of two side-by-side parking stalls. Resort-style amenities include 24-hour security, a swimming pool, tennis/pickleball courts, fitness center, BBQ cabanas, private theater, kids’ playground, abundant guest parking, and even golf driving cages with a putting green—minutes from Ala Moana and Kaka‘ako.

Set on a 3-acre Keaau homestead of three adjoining lots, this retreat unfolds at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, bordered by a Hawaiian rock wall and State land for a calm, private setting. The main acre centers on a custom one-bedroom, one-bath post-and-pier house with open-beam ceilings, white oak floors, mango wood countertops, wood-framed windows and sliding glass doors, plus a wrap-around lanai. Nearby, an ohana-style dwelling—originally an office/workshop—adds a half bath and an outdoor shower. Trex decking surrounds an above-ground pool, with lawn and mature fruit trees including citrus, coconut, avocado, rambutan, lychee, starfruit, soursop, white pineapple, and breadfruit. Winding jungle paths lead to two standalone cabins with electricity and water, each with a front lanai, kitchenette, loft, and outdoor bath and shower, plus an outdoor kitchen and a pond with rock accents—quietly built for days lived outside.
