How wonderful this hale is ! We could not have had a more authentic Hawaiian experience than our stay this April in Lanikai.
The house lacks for nothing - comfy linens, fully equipped kitchen, closets and storage; 3 TVs-DVD+CDplayers+WiFi-; kayak, snorkels, toys and abundant sunshine. A 2 minute walk to the beach and several beaches to pick from ! All you need to bring is your bathing suit !
We came from the mainland to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary at this hale in Lanikai with our children, grandkids and friends. The kids played in the fenced yard; we played badminton and frisbee and flew toy airplanes on the big green lawn - it must be a third of an acre; and BBQ'd almost every evening. We did eat out at Teddy's for burgers and Cinnamon’s for breakfast a couple of times in Kailua, but really would never have had to even get in the car ! The kayak came in very handy - a quick trip to the Mokulua Islands by the hardy ones. And the hardy ones took a short hike to the top of the hill to see the WWII gun turrets . History is displayed at this hale with photos from the very early days before and during WWII.
The flora and beaches are just too beautiful - a photographer's dream. This side of Oahu is Hawaii's best kept secret.
We actually enjoyed doing laundry here ! Pack light and use the W/D !

As a fascinated fan of the King of Rock 'n' Roll, Lanikai holds many a wonder and this house has a treasure to delight any Elvis fan!!
Sitting on the porch, sipping a Long Board beer, listening to the pacific wind swaying the (enormous) palm trees is heaven. And successfully kayaked to the Island (beautiful). Heaven.

Having lived in the Islands in the 50's, this property provides that early Hawaiian tranquil atmosphere. All you need to bring is your bathing suit and your Don Ho tapes!
The tradewinds, the fragrant plumerias and the beautiful sandy beaches will help put you immediately in Paradise. This charming plantation home and surrounding grounds are well kept. Wonderful for active families or a couple seeking tranquility. Oh, you'll have many choices for near by activites and restaurants!
Memories of our stay bring SMILES everytime Lanikai is mentioned!
We know you'll enjoy this special place! Your family will thank you for their fond memories.
Enjoy your visit, we know you will!
Aloha, Peggy Lucas

It is a side of Hawaii that is very hard to find...old Hawaii. This charming 1930's cottage resides in a quiet and exclusive community, has a huge front yard, and is just steps from the most beautiful beach in the world.
We loved the Hawaiian quilts on all the beds, the lauhala mats on the original wood floors, listening to old hulas on the stereo, and just sitting in the rocking chair on the lanai watching our kids play. We live in an apartment in a large city, and the big yard was just heaven.
Having a kid-friendly home, with a fully equipped kitchen, dvd and cable TV, and new washer and dryer made this locale the perfect spot for a lovely and easy family vacation. One of the showers is actually outdoors, which was a hit with kids and adults alike.
It is also close to Honolulu and all that city has to offer, but you just feel so disconnected and relaxed being at this lovely old home in Lanikai.

Paradise in paradise! We had so much fun at the house and in the big fun yard. The house is located in the perfect location with just enough access to the things you need. If our four year old had his way, we would never leave!

We spent 10 days with our family at this charming retreat in Lanakai – literally a stone’s throw from the beaches. We felt lost in another time, yet had every thing we could possibly require. The gated grounds were well maintained and safe for our toddler grandchildren with geckos galore. The home was entirely comfortable, but the outdoor shower (there’s one indoors, too) was everyone’s favorite. We had never been to this part of Hawaii, but would surely go again, knowing that there is much more to Oahu than just Waikiki.
