This house is an excellent rental property. It's at the far southern end of Lanikai where there is almost no traffic, and there is a small beach across the street if you just want to sit on the sand or jump in the water. The larger Lanikai beach entrance is a 20-minute walk north, and the walk to the public beach is a small price to pay for the home's low-traffic location. The living spaces are well appointed, as is the kitchen, and the setting is even more comfortable than implied by the pictures.

Our family stayed for a month while our home was being renovated. It was a wonderful from start to finish over the holidays. The home and all the amenities were exactly as listed online. Both the house manager and housekeeper were very good at communicating.We had many favorite spots within the property. One was the front lanai, for morning coffee or an afternoon nap. The 2nd spot was by the pool. It was huge, heated with a long seating area. Loved having the grassy area, grill and ample seating for the entire family outside. The jacuzzi was off and on during our stay and didn't really warm up but it didn't deter us from having fun. I think the manager and pool man did their best to coordinate repairs. The 3rd spot for me personally was the relaxing spa size tub in the big house. My daughter and son-in-law with their two toddlers stayed in the cottages and loved the quiet and furniture that their space provided as well. The proximity to the beach was perfect and we appreciate all the fun pool & beach toys.The kitchen amenities were fully stocked, all high end. We were pleasantly surprised to have a welcome gift of snacks, coffee and tea when we arrived as well.It was convenient to have a washer and dryer in the main house. It might've been convenient to have them on the cottage side too We had cleaning, yard and pool service.The challenges were traffic with road work, T-mobile reception and complicated TV system. Otherwise we had a very Happy Holiday here!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a lovely home with great amenities and layout for entertaining family and friends. My three girls (10, 8 and 6) enjoyed swimming in the pool as well as snorkeling in the ocean from the beach access point, which was 5 minutes from the house. We also enjoyed biking riding in the Lanikai neighborhood as well as to Kailua Beach. Definitely the perfect break from NYC and we left tanned and relaxed.
