Portlock home in Hawaii Kai for sale

Portlock beachfront home for sale on Maunalua bay in Hawaii Kai

One of the best parts of living in Hawaii is getting out, especially the ocean and enjoying yourself. It certainly makes me feel alive to be out on the water standup paddling (SUP). Maunalua Bay is a fun and not so busy place to SUP, surf or kayak. There are several surf breaks that can be a lot of fun even for relative beginners. I started SUPing here and found it a great place to learn. There is an area in the bay that is shallow and when i fell I could easily get back up and get going.  It wasn’t until I gained confidence that I went out to the larger swells. Many times it is not that busy and there is no line-up! One of the big reasons that Maunalua Bay is not so busy is its lack of beach. The rim of this bay is mostly rocky and there is a shallow reef, rocks or muddy sand throughout most of the bay and therefore does not attract sun worshipers or swimmers. There are a few unique areas that do have beach front on the this area of the island. One of these areas is in the neighborhood of Portlock in Hawaii Kai.

Being right on the beach and being able to swim or go out and surf right from your backyard is one of the ultimate dreams for living in Hawaii. The romantic idea of having a beach house is a real draw to so many people coming to Hawaii. That is why 6973 Portlock Road is such a special property. It is a casual beach home built in 1975, but has been sculpted to an ocean lover’s paradise. The 3 bed, 3bath, two story home has lots of windows to look out at the ocean and the private garden. The master bath shower has glass windows on two sides giving a feeling of being outside. The large lanai is partially covered and a trellis is partial covered with a vine. Then a fabulous seating area under a perfectly trained tree providing a lot of shade from the hot Hawaiian sun.  It is an idyllic atmosphere and perfect for entertaining. There are also plenty of places to store boards and kayaks.
