Location: Oahu, Hawaii

Price: $15.8 million

It’s always vacation time at this house on the eastern shores of Oahu, Hawaii. Here, every single day you’ll wake up to endless ocean views capped by the volcanic cone, Diamond Head, that largely defines that landscape of the island.

"Enjoy reading your favored novel by the secluded bamboo forest path on the east end of the home or enjoy the gentle breezes of the 30 coconut trees that reside on property," said listing agentMary Worrallof LIST Sotheby's International Realty. "On the oceanside, enjoy an afternoon tea by a lovely bench that sits high under the most beautiful and grandest plumeria tree you’ve ever seen. The lovely floral scents of old Hawaii surround you as you view incomparable ocean views."

Perhaps the most desirable of the home’s features, though, is its private stretch of sand, "with over 250 linear square feet of beach frontage," according to Ms. Worrall. It sits in the storied Portlock neighborhood of Oahu.

"Portlock has momentous occasions in lore and legend that took place here," Ms.Worrall said. "Tales are told and re-told of the first visitors, gods and goddesses, followed by voyagers from neighboring islands and distant lands arriving by the great double-hulled voyaging canoes."

The Portlock name comes from a British captain and adventurer, Captain Nathaniel Portlock, whose ships were the first to arrive on the island after Captain Cook discovered Hawaii in 1778.

The stats

This four-bedroom and six-and-a-half-bathroom home offers 8,427 square feet of interior living space. An attached garage has stalled parking for three vehicles, and all the above resides on one-and-a-half acres of land.

Amenities

In addition to the formal dining room, living room, family room, there’s "a wet bar, solarium, den, spacious kitchen and adjacent kitchen nook, fitness area, saltwater pool and Jacuzzi," Ms.Worrall said, "all ideal spaces for hosting guests and multigenerational living, and thoughtfully designed on one level for hosting intimate gatherings or grand entertaining."

Neighborhood notes

Here, you’re "five minutes to all manner of shopping services, medical, fine dining, schools, golf courses, shooting ranges, swimming, fishing, surfing, hikes, churches and the Hanauma Bay State Park, which was declared a protected marine life conservation area and underwater park in 1967," Ms.Worrall said.

Nearby there’s "two major shopping centers, Kuapa Kai and Hawaii Kai Shopping Center... and the new Consolidated Theatres state-of-the-art movie theaters with reclining leather seats. The Koko Kai Marina has many boat slips, with maximum boat length of 66 feet and offers many water activities such as parasailing, jet-skiing, scuba diving, wakeboarding, and water skiing. A small sandy beach off the subject property is a perfect place to cast off from," she added.
