Coastal Options – Southeastern Oahu – Kahala – Kai Nani

Among the enclaves of oceanfront luxury homes between Kahala and Hawaii Kai is Kai Nani, a quiet neighborhood easily missed and accessible only from Kalanianaole Highway. Developed in the 1970s, Kai Nani is fronted by a sandy beach and adjacent to the Waialae Golf Course at the eastern end. With its substantial setback from the highway, Kai Nani projects the ambiance of a private, gated community.
