About JAL Honolulu Marathon 2026
One of the world's largest marathons, the JAL Honolulu Marathon sends tens of thousands of runners from Waikiki at 5:00 a.m. on Sunday, December 13, 2026, through Diamond Head and along the coast to Hawaii Kai and back to a finish at Kapi'olani Park. With no qualifying time and a festival-like finish, it draws a big international field, including strong visitor numbers from Japan.
Marathon weekend turns Honolulu into a running party. A private villa gives your group a proper home base - a chef-prepared carb dinner the night before, and a quiet poolside recovery the morning after.

How we screen every stay
Every home we represent is someone's personal residence, in a real neighborhood, and we've committed to the owner and their neighbors that we'll place it only with guests whose plans fit the home. So, like most professionally managed homes, we confirm a few details with every guest before a reservation is finalized — who is staying, the purpose of the trip, and agreement to the house rules and rental agreement. This is the same for everyone who books with us, and it's meant to protect you too: it keeps the neighborhood quiet and welcoming, keeps the home in the condition you expect, and ensures the property truly matches what you need. Once confirmed with the homeowner, we'll send the final quote for signature within one business day.

- No undisclosed parties, events, gatherings, dinners, or photo/film shoots. Any event must be disclosed in advance, approved by the homeowner in writing, and paid for (event fee/deposit), and must follow city ordinance and house rules.
- The primary guest must be 25+ (or the owner's minimum), must be staying on-site, and signs the rental agreement and provides ID.
- Pet policy: pets by approval only. Service and assistance animals are always welcome — tell us in advance.
- Quiet hours 10 PM–8 AM; this is a residential neighborhood.
