About the host
Hosted by Lanikai Beach Rentals 808-476-7195
Rick is fortunate to have grown up here in Lanikai and reside in his childhood home with his wife Nini, three daughters, and two dogs; Tom and Daisie. We have hosted countless guests from around the world, many are annual repeat guests that we consider family! Rick loves fishing! Many of our guests have enjoyed an outing on our glass-bottom boat for a day of sightseeing, light tackle fishing, and sea-life exploration. We also love spending time in our sister state - Alaska, where our eldest daughter calls home and where Rick has worked as a charter captain out of Seward, Alaska. Feel free to give Rick a call to discuss your travel plans, or just to ask about the weather. * Member Hawaii Visitors and Convention Bureau * Member Better Business Bureau with A+ Rating * Member Kailua Chamber of Commerce * Member Lanikai Association * Member Mokulua Fishing Club Looking for Real Estate?
Why they chose this property
Hosting guests since 1985! We are fortunate to have a large number of repeat guests who have become dear family friends and who have experienced the growth of our family, celebrating birthdays and holidays with us. We have been hosting a Canadian family each year since 1995 and a couple from Kennebunk, ME since 2000. We are fortunate to share our piece of paradise with each guest who comes through our doors, and we cherish the friendships and lifelong bonds we develop along the way.
If asked what the most rewarding attribute of our business is, the best answer would have to be that when we host a guest and they share with us that they could only have imagined what a special place we live in. How blessed we are to be able to offer someone a temporary respite from their day-to-day lives!
