Enjoy the tropical climate by hosting a BBQ in the beautifully landscaped backyard!
While the property is phenomenal with its convenient access to the community center, shopping, and schools, the best part is in the details. The home features solar PV panels which saves money on electricity. In fact, the average electric bill is $19, even with the thermostat set at 75 degrees.

Bonus: Lawncare is included.
2) Kailua
This stunning three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment is located in Kailua, about 19 miles from JBPHH — around 30 minutes to base without traffic. Beside the fact that you’re just a short walk to gorgeous Kailua Beach (gasp!), this apartment is newly renovated and ready for you to call home.
Different than the typical mainland home, two bedrooms, one bathroom, family room, and kitchen are located on the second floor. While the third bedroom, second bathroom, and laundry are located on the first floor.
Even more good news-- this property is available for rent furnished or unfurnished with washer and dryer included. Water, electric, basic cable, and wifi are also included, and the owner may be willing to negotiate a price.

The whole space is newly remodeled and features ceramic tile, remote-controlled ceiling fans, new carpet in the bedrooms, wood crown and base molding.
