From the owner

The 'Gingerbread House' was designed in the late 1920's by J. Alvin Shadinger and is on the National Register of Historic Places. It is a Tudor-French Norman cottage completed in 1931 during the times he was designing similar cottages in the Diamond Head area and was Mr. Shadinger's home for many years. The house has been a location for several movies and television series. It has recently been remodeled and is located just across the street from Kahala Beach.

The Gingerbread house is built on 3 levels with air conditioning throughout. One King Bedroom, 3 Queen Bedrooms, all with luxury pillow-top mattresses adorned with Italian bedding. Tasteful art and accessories compliment each bedroom as well as flat screen televisions, three of which have built in DVD. The downstairs bedroom has a lovely view of the backyard fountain and pool. The hardwood floors throughout the home have been refinished and the living area is appointed with modern furnishings which give a clean, understated look letting the beauty of this one-of-a-kind cottage and it's natural surroundings sparkle. The kitchen is designed with professional appliances featuring a Viking gas range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, separate ice-maker and wine cooler, and dishwasher. The dining room seats 8 and is located just a few steps above the living room and indoor bar area.

The beautifully landscaped back yard features a pool, black tiled spa, covered lanai and a separate gazebo to make this a great home away from home in Hawaii. Just minutes away from Kahala Mall, Hanauma Bay, Ala Moana Shopping Center, and fine dining. Complimentary wireless internet service.

50% deposit is required upon acceptance of reservation with remainder paid 60 days prior to arrival, along with a refundable $3,000 security deposit.

Reservations made less than 60 days before arrival will require a shorter payment schedule, which will be detailed in your reservation agreement.

To be in compliance with local zoning laws, no more than one rental per 30 days.

Rates subject to change at any time.

Owner's reply:
Sandy and I are so pleased you enjoyed your time at The Gingerbread House and that your celebration was a success. Sandy and I have never had such wonderful guests that were so understanding with Hurricane Lane threatening to strike for days. We just can't say enough about this wonderful family and any owner would be lucky to have such a lovely group stay at their home. A hui ho and mahalo for staying at The Gingerbread House.

I'm so sorry to see that I missed the opportunity to thank these lovely guests for their review of The Gingerbread House. They were our first guests through Trip Advisor and I was still becoming acquainted with how Trip Advisor's system works with reviews. Please accept our apologies for not responding right after your trip and thanking you for such kind thoughts about your trip with us.
