Location Location Location! Our Lanikai ocean front location exactly in front of the twin Mokulua Islands provides endless hours of outstanding views from the ocean front yard, the living room, dining room, and side deck. A perfect place to work remotely, as you have an ocean playground at your doorstep when you need a break. We have fiber optic cable to the house which provides extremely high speed internet (900Mbs download, 300Mbs upload). We provide substantial discounts for stays of 30 nights or more. Our railed stairway to the ocean gives you easy access for swimming, snorkeling, and kayaking. Kayaks can be rented from several local companies, most of which will drop-off and pick-up for free, and the kayaks can be launched down the stairway. The ocean floor in front of the house is sandy and great for swimming and floating, while further out there's great snorkeling. As you relax in the yard, on the lanai, or in the house, you'll see all kinds of action floating by: outrigger canoes, kayakers, standup paddle boarders, fishermen, kite boards, sail boats, and more. The natural breeze usually keeps things cool and comfortable. Your bungalow is a simple and comfortable two bedroom, one-bath ocean front duplex. We can accommodate four guests: 2 in the lanai bedroom (King bed), and 2 in the ocean front bedroom (Queen Bed). There is also a queen sized futon in the living room. In addition to the shower in the bathroom, there is an outdoor hot water shower. The King bedroom has a window air conditioner unit. The side deck includes relaxation areas, easy access to the kitchen and bathroom, and outdoor shower area. The outer deck has a table with chairs, a canopy, outdoor mood lights, and a propane BBQ. The two sides of the duplex are private and well-separated. The owners maintain a low profile, but are always available if needed. You may not even see them during your visit unless you run into them in the driveway or the ocean front yard. The yard is divided by a privacy panel and the owners have a small outdoor area on their side of panel. This property is a legally established dwelling that is rented for periods of 30 consecutive days or more at any one time regardless of actual occupancy. Please contact the owner should you have any questions. PAST REVIEWS Amazing property! Unbeatable views. Katheryn B, Aug 2017 ======================== A Great Cottage in a Wonderful Location We thoroughly enjoyed our entire week+--the house was clean, comfortable, and just earthy enough to feel like home. Although we never met, the owners were totally responsive and attentive, fixing a minor plumbing issue on a weekend, and making sure everything was right for us -- which it was. We are already planning our next trip to Lanikai, and this is our first choice for accommodations. Chris G, March 2017 ======================== Special place!!!! Love this place, very homey and comfortable, many different little hangout areas. I love that it is kept as a casual beach house, but has all the comforts. Eileen T, Nov 2016 ======================== Absolutely Perfect with a Million Dollar View! Our family of 4 spent 8 nights in this fantastic vacation rental this spring and enjoyed every minute of it. The location of the property is perfect, right on the water with stunning views of the Mokes where we watched the sunrise every morning. Right over the wall at the back of the house you have private access to the water. We rented kayaks in Kailua and kayaked down to the house and kept the kayaks for a few days. The pill box trail was about a 15 minute from the house - we did that hike four separate times since at different times of the day, the views from up there are amazing. The house had everything we could want, we loved that so many areas of the house were outside so we could enjoy the gorgeous Hawaiian weather. And the hammock, was just pure bliss. Kailua has everything you could possible want from shops to restaurants to Whole Foods and Longs Drugs. Lanikai Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in Oahu. We have stayed on all the islands and in many locations on Oahu and this is the first time we have said that we would come back to a location, it was just perfect. If you are looking for a peaceful and beautiful house in the best location on Oahu, this is the place for you. Allie, March 2016 ======================== Amazing! The most well stocked, well thought out home. Could not have asked for anything more unless we could have controlled the weather! Truly an amazing property, no disappointment. It took us a day or two to adjust to the long driveway in our large car, but we soon mastered the navigation. Great location, amazing swimming and watch the sunrise each and every morning. We will never forget our vacation and would return gladly. Nancy M, Dec 2015 ======================== We have found home in Lanikai What an amazing place. Our family spent a week in this amazing home. If you are looking for simple and pure island living, this is your place. This is what heaven probably looks like. We had breakfast, dinner and lunch by the water. We swam with the turtles, puffer fish and the famous Humuhumunukunukuapua’a. We paddle boarded to the Mokes right from our backyard, did acrylic paints with the locals and practiced full moon yoga at the beach. Just a few of the activities available. The place has something for everyone. The owner was incredibly friendly and attentive to our needs. The neighbors (both locals) were welcoming. We are definitely coming back here! A happy family from Portland, OR Eneida N., July 2015 ======================== Incredible View, Awesome House, Perfect Location! I was fortunate to be able to stay at this house with my Mother and 2 of her good friends for 2 weeks. I'm their designated a dirty job but someone's go to do it! A few years back we stayed in Kailua and discovered Lanikai and we have been hooked ever since! Our family owns a cottage on a tiny island in The Bahamas and we know great beaches and Lanikai is among the BEST! So to be able to stay right there with that gorgeous water and the Mokes as our view was absolutely incredible! The house is extremely well appointed and was very clean. It's amazing how many extras there are: beach chairs, boogie boards, noodles, outdoor furniture, plenty of extra towels (including beach towels) and sheets, everything for the kitchen even a salad spinner! We love to cook and a well stocked kitchen is so greatly appreciated. Do note that there is no dishwasher (not a worry at all for us!). BlueWaterLover Sep, 2014 ======================== Lanikai Love This is by far the best house in Lanikai if you want to wake up to a daily gorgeous sunrise directly in front of the Mokes, walk to Lanikai (and Kailua) beaches, have a great 3 mile walk around the neighborhood loop and just generally relax. The house is stocked with everything you need in the kitchen, there are plenty of places to relax both outside and inside, the neighbors are sweet and the owners are very responsive and nice. The back yard is perfect for relaxing or for dining outside. The outside shower is great for rinsing off after spending hours in the ocean; which we did every single day. The neighborhood is generally quiet and we spent hours at night in the back yard or on walks, staring at the clouds and stars. Whole Foods and other stores are just a 10 minute drive away, and Buzz's Steakhouse is the best place to walk or drive to for lunch. Sit at the bar and order the fish sandwich and a Mai best! We will definitely stay there again and look forward to it. Rebecca C, Oct, 2013 ======================== Paradise Out Your Back Door We loved our week at this house! Wake up to beautiful sunrises over the Mokulua Islands and swim with sea turtles right in front of the house. Lanikai is a wonderful place to stay on Oahu and this house makes it hard to leave. We rented paddle boards and kayaks from a local shop, had them delivered to the house and began and ended each day paddling or swimming to "The Mokes", going to Lanikai beach or over to Kailua beach park and up to Buzz's restaurant. We hiked to Pill Box twice to watch the sunrise. The house has everything you need and we spent most nights barbequing and enjoying the windward breezes and warm evenings. Consider making a stop at the Costco in Hawaii Kai on the drive in from the airport for your provisions for the stay. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need to cook all your meals if you like. The house is comfortable and clean. We enjoyed relaxing in the hammock and looking at the ocean and the outrigger canoes racing by in the mornings and evenings each day. Lanikai is a great location on the island because it is quiet and peaceful but close enough to Kailua where you can go for restaurants and shopping (we went to the Farmers market on Thursday evening - it was fun). You can also jump on the freeway and go to the North Shore or south to Honolulu easily. We hope to go back again in the near future, Mahalo! Lanikai Wannabes, Sep 2013 ======================== Best Vacation House Ever!! I have been back on the mainland for a week now and my heart aches when I look at the pictures of our beautiful ocean front house. From the moment you arrive you know you will not want to leave this place. Rent your kayak on the way to the house, pick up some food and beverage and you are set for your stay. Gorgeous white sand beaches, crystal clear water, sea turtles swimming right by your house, snorkeling for hours, kayaking to the islands, PIll box hike right in your neighborhood, Ocean breezes at night. The house had EVERYTHING we needed bath towels, beach towels, washer/dryer, ironing board, wifi, dishes, pots,pans, outdoor shower, grill, boogie boards,hammock, beach chairs, icemaker in list goes on and on. The lanai was our living space. We ate, relaxed and hung out there.
