Odd Fellowship began here in the Hawaiian islands on December 10, 1846. Brothers Gilbert Watson, Anthony Ten Eyck, Marshall Johnson, G. D. Gilman, W. R. Kilburn, Captain Kennedy and Charles Brewer II instituted the first Odd Fellows' Lodge outside the Continental United States here in Honolulu, under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of the United States. This Odd Fellowship is still alive and well here in paradise as we strive to carry on the tradition that originated back then.

We have three Beach Cottages located in Laie on Kamaehamaeha Highway directly across from the Polynesia Culture Center right on the beach. This is a great place for members and guests to get away from the hustle and bustle to relax and let their hair down for a little while.

The first cottage is where our caretaker resides. Our current caretaker is Charlie Van Gieson, who lives there with his wife Judi. The other two cottages are available for Excelsior Members and their guests to reserve on a first come, first serve basis. Contact our Caretakers at (808) 293-9090 for availability.
