There is no better situation in Lanikai than from this classic Hawaii home looking directly at the iconic Mokes and hearing the waves lap right below your windows. The house is cooled by ocean breezes, has large airy light rooms, updated kitchen with everything needed to cook for a family. Our 2-year old and four-month-old grandchildren use sound machines at home to go to sleep. Here the ocean lulled them to sleep. Gina, our host, could not be any nicer. She is incredibly responsive, accommodating and a delight to interact with. Doug, her property manager, makes sure you have everything you need. This was a superb place to spend our family vacation and we are truly sad to leave.

The beach house was at a great location! Like everyone says, we had a little private beach that was perfect for our 23 month old daughter. It was amazing that we got to have the best view of the waters first thing in the morning. It was an absolute dream! Gina was super easy to communicate with and she was hands down the best host I had the pleasure of having. She helped us rent a kayak so my family (two year old included) had the best New Year's day out in the waters. She also had a highchair we were able to use at the dining table which was great! I do want to be honest about our experience so here were the downsides. I think it was the app's fault but check in instructions were not sent to my messages on the app so I had to reach out to VRBO's customer service to check out why I wasn't receiving anything. I got anxious because we were already in Hawaii and had no idea how to check in. Thankfully, VRBO was able to contact Gina and she texted me the instructions immediately. Another thing was that the electricity in the house was acting up during our trip. I reached out to Gina and she advised to reset the breakers which didn't solve the issue permanently. The microwave, disposal, electrical stove did not work when we most needed them and had no hot water for the showers one night. It was odd because there were times when they did work so we weren't sure if it was normal for the electricity to act that way because the house was on the beach or if something was really damaged. The maintenance staff figured it out on our 2nd to last day and said it was a faulty main breaker. In order to fix it immediately, he had to make the jacuzzi unavailable for the last two days. To be honest, it was really stressful for us that the electrical appliances didn't work and if it weren't for the electricity issue, this review would've been 5 stars!

We had a wonderful stay at Gina's property. It has probably the best view on the island. The beach was great too. It was only shared with a few nextdoor neighbours but it felt very private. We had a few minor issues during our stay but they were all resolved very promptly. We'd love to come back again one day!

Having stayed in many island rentals, Hale Mahina is our family’s favorite! It’s such a beautiful location, perfect for kayaking, paddle boarding, snorkeling, or simply enjoying the serenity of its quiet little beach. This home is a “classic beauty”, with large rooms and comfortable furnishings. Our children could run down to watch the sunrise from the beach and head straight into the ocean to play. We’d love to come again!

Three generations enjoyed this beautiful home with a private beach and hot tub. We were lucky to spot sea turtles and did some snorkeling. Gina was easy to communicate with. She recommended a chef to come to the house and prepare a special anniversary dinner for us. The sunrises are magnificent! Our stay was memorable. Mahalo!
