Welcome to a rare opportunity in coveted Kuulei Tract, where the best of Kailua living comes together on an expansive 12,000+ square foot lot just a short walk from Kailua Beach. Thoughtfully rebuilt in 2004, this single-level residence offers 3,054 square feet of comfortable, open living designed around Hawaii’s indoor-outdoor lifestyle. At the heart of the home is a modern chef’s kitchen that opens seamlessly to generous living and entertaining spaces. Step outside and the property becomes a private tropical retreat. Lush landscaping surrounds a solar-heated pool and spa, complemented by a tranquil waterfall and covered outdoor living areas that invite year-round entertaining. Whether hosting a gathering after a day at the beach, enjoying dinner outdoors, or simply relaxing poolside, the home was designed to make the most of Kailua’s lifestyle. Features include 46 owned (net metered) photovoltaic panels, solar pool heating (separate from PV system), and propane gas for cooking and heating the spa. The large lot provides a sense of space and privacy that is increasingly difficult to find this close to Kailua Beach.
Beachside, located between Kailua Beach Park and Kalama Beach Park, is a coastal and residential Kailua neighborhood with ocean breezes and sandy access points. Low-slung beach cottages and newer island-modern homes line leafy lanes that lead toward the water. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Kailua Rd and Kuulei Rd area, where surf shops, shave ice counters, and casual cafes set a salt-air rhythm. Buzz’s Original Steak House, Cinnamon’s Restaurant, and Kailua Farmers’ Market act as local pillars for meals and weekend routines. Sunrise walks track the shoreline, while trade winds shape afternoons for paddling and kites. Streets stay calm, with the beach and town energy balancing each other.

The purpose of the Residential District is to allow for a range of residential densities. The primary use shall be detached residences. Other types of dwellings may also be allowed, including zero lot line, cluster and common wall housing arrangements. Nondwelling uses that support and complement residential neighborhood activities shall also be permitted. The intent of the R-10 districts is to provide areas for large lot developments. These areas would be located typically at the outskirts of urban development and may be applied as a transitional district between preservation, agricultural or country districts and urban districts. They would also be applied to lands where residential use is desirable but some development constraints are present.
Permitted uses
Include but are not limited to:
Housing-Single unit
