In 1919, Earl Derr Biggers wrote the first Charlie Chan novel, House Without A Key, while staying at Gray’s-By-the-Sea, near the original Halekulani location.Clifford and Juliet Kimball, owners of the original Halekulani, continued to purchase lands near their hotel. In 1926, they purchased Gray’s-By-the-Sea, which included a young Kiawe Tree planted in 1887. This property was renamed House Without A Key after the nickname given to the lanai area adjacent to the tree. Earl Derr Biggers’ first Charlie Chan mystery novel then carried the same name. It became a popular place for guests would meet to play cards and have tea.House Without A Key is symbolic of a more casual and simple time in the islands when many homes did not lock their doors and was always open to guests.
