Why This Works for TLA and TDY
Military Housing FAQ
Does this property qualify for TLA on Oahu?
Our property meets the requirements for a furnished rental with a 30-day minimum stay. Whether it qualifies for your specific TLA claim depends on your command's approval and the current TLA rate for Oahu. We recommend checking with your housing office before booking. The nightly rate of $199.83 ($5,995 for 30 nights) is within the typical TLA ceiling for the Honolulu area.
How close is this to Schofield Barracks?
Schofield Barracks is approximately 25 miles east, about a 40-minute drive via H-1 and H-2. The commute is against traffic in the morning (westbound traffic is heavier) so drive times are generally consistent. Wheeler Army Airfield is adjacent to Schofield on the same route.
Is this suitable for a PCS move with family?
Yes. Each unit accommodates up to 3 guests comfortably. The full kitchen means you can cook meals instead of eating out every night during your transition. The quiet beachfront setting is significantly less stressful for families than a hotel, especially with children. Many military families use the 30-day period to house hunt while enjoying the beach after viewings.
What is the nightly rate and what does it include?
The rate is $5,995 for 30 nights ($199.83/night). This is all-inclusive: furnished unit, full kitchen, high-speed Starlink WiFi, dedicated parking, all utilities, climate control (A/C in Azul, BedJet 3 cooling in Noir), premium linens, and direct beach access. No resort fees, no parking charges, no hidden costs.
How close is Pililaau Army Recreation Center?
Pililaau Army Recreation Center in Waianae is approximately 2 miles south of our property, about a 5-minute drive. It offers beach access, pavilions, and recreation facilities for military ID holders. Mākaha Military Reservation is about 3 miles north.
Can I extend beyond 30 days if my housing is delayed?
Yes, we offer flexible extensions in 30-day increments. If your on-base housing assignment is delayed or your PCS timeline shifts, contact us to extend your stay. We understand military timelines change and will work with you on availability.
