A 2024-built two-story ADU tucked down a private lane, two houses from Kailua Beach. 1000 sq ft, 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, finished to a level you normally see in much larger homes: a Calacatta-style marble-look, porcelain, waterfall kitchen island, hardwood floors throughout, and a second-floor glass-rail balcony framing the Ko’olau mountains.
The quaint kitchen is the hero set. Waterfall island, clean modern lines, and strong natural light make it ideal for cooking content, product work, lifestyle stills, and intimate interview or talking-head setups. The balcony delivers a mountain backdrop you cannot fake in a studio.
Built for small and mid-size productions: video crews up to 15 on the base rate, stills crews up to 10, full production up to 20 by arrangement. This is a compact, sound-sensitive location on a quiet lane, so it suits nimble teams rather than multi-cart shoots, and it rewards them with a fresh, unshot space minutes from the beach. Filming on this private property requires no city or state film permit.
The owner runs a construction company and keeps booking simple: certificate of insurance (owner named as additional insured), signed location agreement, deposit, and you are in. Prep and strike days at half rate.
