Historic 1918 Beachfront Plantation Cottage

About the Space

Historic Beachfront Estate Welcome to one of Oahu's most unique and historically significant beachfront properties. Built in 1918 and known historically as the Kahuku Plantation Manager's Beach Cottage, this rare oceanfront estate sits directly on the sands of a secluded bay on Oahu's North Shore. Originally constructed during Hawaii's plantation era, the property has served as a luxury seaside retreat, a gathering place during the railway era, and later a military recreation site during World War II. Historic newspaper accounts described the home as Hawaii's "Super Cottage," one of the finest beachfront retreats on Oahu at the time. Today, the property offers filmmakers something increasingly difficult to find: authentic historic Hawaii combined with direct beachfront access and multiple visual environments within a single private location.
