The property is fantastic. We would definitely stay at this location again. Outdoors: Immaculate oasis in the backyard. They provide a grill, umbrella, and everything you need for the beach. There is a wagon to haul all of the beach stuff as well. Towels, chairs, and kids sand toys. There is a hose right as you enter the front gate. This was a great feature as you can wash the sand off your feet/shoes, etc before walking up to the stairs. We also arrived late at night one of the nights and there are motion lights so you can easily find your way to the door. I would highlight, there are 8 steep stairs to climb in order to enter the house (and carry your luggage up). If anyone in your party has mobility constraints, this may be a concern for you. Indoors: The house is very clean and well maintained. It is also stocked with all of the essentials. We love the 'pay it forward' style (if you use it, replace it for the next guests). Plenty of room for everyone in your party to visit, relax, and have meals. As noted, they do not have air-conditioning, but they do have great working ceiling fans in each room as well as a standing fan. We stayed in the month of February, so the weather was a mild 75 degrees. We still leveraged the fans and opened the windows for the nice trade winds to cool the home. Mahalo

Fantastic spot in Lanikai! Irene’s home is gorgeous, extremely clean, and is situated in an excellent location! Irene was very responsive and accommodating! We will definitely be back!

The home was immaculate, well-put-together, and comfortable. It was perfect for our extended stay in Oahu. The neighborhood was quiet, and beach access was blocks away. After visiting Waikiki and Honolulu, it was pleasant returning to Lanikai with its lush flora and relaxed atmosphere. Nighttime strolls through the neighborhood were enjoyable and peaceful. Our stay included the back cottage so we could accommodate twin teenagers, maternal grandfather, paternal grandmother, husband, and me. We cooked and BBQ with ease. We appreciated using the beach chairs and towels; it was easy to wash the beach clothes in the convenient washer and dryer. The bathrooms were clean and designed well. I can't say enough great things about this home; the owner is terrific and promptly responded to our questions. Our first family trip to a Hawaiian island was fantastic, thanks partly to these beautiful accommodations! We would definitely stay here again!

The property is very clean, like new and beautiful, close to the beach. The host is very responsive. You can park your car on the driveway. The neighborhood is quiet and upscale.

Our family of six thoroughly enjoyed staying at this beautiful property! We also rented the detached studio, which provided us additional space to spread out. The neighborhood was nice and quiet. Lanikai Beach, the closest beach to the house, was stunning. Finally, we couldn’t be more impressed (and grateful for) with the communication and responsiveness of the property manager—the best we’ve ever rented from!

Pros -Excellent location -Nicely furnished and renovated interior and backyard Cons Uncomfortable with no AC. The breeze doesn’t really suffice when trying to sleep or nap.

This place checks the list for a perfect Hawaiian vacation.

This was a very enjoyable stay at a very nice home. The location to necessary facilities and the surrounding community were absolutely great. The property manager was just a gem to deal with and all information provided was extremely accurate. This is an A+++ vacation spot in a friendly and quiet neighborhood.

We've been back home for one week and we can't stop talking about it. Everyone loved the house, the accommodations, the location, and Irene's hospitality and support - she's thought of everything! It was our favorite vacation to date, and we will definitely want to do it again - 10/10!
