The Perfect Large Family Vacation Rental on Oahu
Two private homes on 1.5 gated acres of Oahu's North Shore — enough room for every generation to gather, explore, and make memories together.
Room for the Whole Family — and Then Some
Finding a vacation rental that truly fits a large family is difficult. Most properties squeeze everyone into tight quarters with not enough bathrooms, a kitchen that can barely handle a group meal, and shared walls with strangers. The Whale House is different. With 8 bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, and 5,000+ square feet spread across two completely separate homes, your family will have all the space it needs — without sacrificing togetherness.
Whether you're traveling with grandparents, toddlers, teenagers, or all of the above, this is the Oahu vacation rental that brings everyone together under one (gated, oceanfront) roof.
Two Private Homes, One Unforgettable Vacation
The main Whale House sleeps 13 with five bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. The open-concept great room flows from a gourmet chef's kitchen to a living area framed by walls of glass overlooking the Pacific. Every morning starts with coffee on the wraparound lanai and the sound of waves below.
Steps away, The Cottage adds three more bedrooms and two bathrooms — ideal for grandparents who want their own quiet retreat, teenagers who need their own space, or friends joining the family trip.
Explore the EstateThe Cottage
The Cottage is a fully independent guest house just steps from the main estate. It has its own kitchen, living space, private entrance, and the same breathtaking ocean views. Grandparents can nap on their own schedule. Teens can hang out without hovering parents. Everyone stays close — but with the privacy that makes a long family trip actually enjoyable.

What Families Love Most
"Hands down the BEST home to stay in for a North Shore getaway. The compound is huge, with wraparound decks, a manicured lawn overlooking insane ocean views, an outdoor jacuzzi and shower, and the most spacious living room and kitchen ever. All 12 people in my group fell in love with this property and will absolutely be back."
"This is one of the best homes I have ever rented — and we've stayed in a lot. The house is beautifully decorated, spotless, and has room to gather while still allowing everyone space to spread out. It was incredibly well equipped with towels, dishes, and cooking tools."
"If you're looking for a tranquil North Shore location, this is it. Enjoying the view of the ocean from the lanai was a wonderful way to begin and end each day. This location is a little slice of paradise."
