The one and only C. W. Dickey Beach Cottage is the architectural crown jewel of Honolulu’s Gold Coast. Never on the market in at least 80 years, this rare masterpiece is on the National Register of Historic Places. Live a lifestyle of charm and wonder on the quietest block of famous Kalakaua Avenue, across the street from the turquoise ocean. This prized section of the Diamond Head neighborhood is just up the beach from Waikiki. Surfing, paddling, tennis, park activities, fine restaurants, and outdoor cafes are all close at hand. Through a wide, edamame-green front door, you’ll enter the spacious living room featuring cool concrete floors and high ceilings, freshly painted. In back is an enchanting lanai with tile artwork, overlooking a private yard and fishpond. We hope you are the next lucky owner, cooling after your day at the beach in the shade of your very own Dickey Roof, the icon of the islands. Dickey designed many of Hawaii’s loveliest buildings including the classic Halekulani Hotel, and this was his own home, sold in 1945 to its current family. Don’t miss this chance of a lifetime.

"....ensuring you have all the facts...." It’s with immense pleasure that I share my experience with Tracy, a realtor who I wholeheartedly endorse for anyone navigating the O‘ahu real estate market. From day one, communication with Tracy was refreshingly easy. He listens intently, articulates his points clearly, and ensures that every question is answered with precision.
Tracy’s expertise in the local property market is unparalleled. He has a vast network of contacts that proves invaluable in every transaction. It’s not just about having a realtor with knowledge; it’s about having one who can harness that knowledge to connect you with the right people and opportunities.
Over the course of our four-year acquaintance, Tracy has patiently worked to understand our specific needs. For my wife and me, relocating from Texas meant finding a home that wasn't just a space to live, but a place that resonated with our lifestyle and aspirations. Tracy’s approach to real estate goes beyond the transactional aspect; he has an intuitive grasp of what makes a house a home for his clients.
He has been an anchor, offering candid and practical advice. His straightforward feedback has been crucial in helping us discern the best choices for us amidst a sea of possibilities. Navigating the technicalities of real estate can be daunting, but Tracy provided us with the guidance and support needed to understand the finer points, ensuring we made well-informed decisions.
Our professional relationship with Tracy has evolved into a cherished friendship. His integrity and dedication are evident in his every action. He's a realtor who gives you the unvarnished truth, ensuring you have all the facts to make decisions that are right for you.
As our long and sometimes challenging journey to find the perfect home comes to a close, we reflect on the path we’ve traveled with gratitude. Tracy has been more than a realtor; he has been a trusted advisor, a confidant, and a friend. We’re profoundly grateful for his relentless dedication to our cause.
Mahalo, Tracy, for your exceptional service and for being an integral part of our life-changing adventure to find our dream home in the beautiful state of Hawai‘i. I highly recommend. Naoto Ueno - Home Buyer, Kakaako
"....full of knowledge...." We finally did it!!!! We worked with Tracey Yamato at Hawaii Living to get through one of the most confusing processes I've ever been a part of... WOW! Thank goodness for Tracey! Buying a home has been a dream but the actual process is WAY more involved than you might imagine. It can takes months of scouring properties before finding the home you love and only then does the real work begin. Deadlines, paperwork, inspections, contractors to schedule, do's, don'ts etc. etc. etc... it was crazy. There is so much to know and so much paperwork to understand we truly couldn't have done this without Tracey by our side. It is legitimately a full time job to handle all of the deadlines and inspections and there is just no way my partner and I could have kept up with our actual jobs while also managing all of this. Thank goodness Tracey was there every step of the way and so full of knowledge about every little thing that we could have possibly needed to know about. Thank you Tracey for all you did
