The Secret About Waterfront Property in Kailua, Oahu

Oceanside on Kailua Bay

Kailua, Hawaii is famous for the multi-million dollar beachfront areas of Lanikai and Kalaheo, but there is an affordable option for waterfront property in Kailua.  The Enchanted Lake neighborhood, along the Ka’elepulu waterway, offers waterfront homes with ocean access at a much lower price, so you too can live your “Hawaii Life”.

• watch the canoe paddling teams practice while lounging in your backyard
