About 2026 Sheraton Hawaiʻi Bowl
The Sheraton Hawaiʻi Bowl brings postseason college football to Honolulu on Christmas Eve, December 24, 2026, at the Clarence T.C. Ching Athletics Complex. For travellers chasing winter sun, it is a rare combination: an ESPN-televised bowl game plus a Hawaiian holiday, with the game kicking off in the afternoon Hawaii time and the islands' best beaches a short drive away.
This is the week Oahu's hotels fill with visiting fans and families, so a private villa becomes the smarter base: space for the whole group, a pool for the morning-after recovery, and a kitchen for Christmas brunch before kickoff. Book for the full holiday week and the bowl sits right in the middle of a beach-first Hawaiian Christmas.

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.
- Maximum occupancy is the number shown for each home — no additional overnight guests, no day visitors beyond the registered group.
- 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.
- Every guest is screened and the homeowner has final approval on every reservation.
