Great location, great cottage, well-stocked, awesome management

Steps from Lanikai beach, quiet area, spacious well-landscaped lot. House has a nicely stocked kitchen, comfy living room, and two bedrooms, with a twin trundle bed and a roll-away, so four mattresses. Management was incredibly responsive. Definitely hope to be back.

Beach house in Lanikai - Hawaii 5-0!

Beautiful, clean and secure property. We loved the location a short walk to lanikai beach. Very comfortable stay for us. We had all the windows open at night and the fans going. I’m typically a very light sleeper and did not notice any noise. We couldn’t have been happier.

Laikai Beach cottage

5 of us came for spring break. Grandma, folks and two kids. The cottage is cute, plenty of room, clean and a nice updated kitchen! Two baths plus an outdoor shower. Laundry and patio were a big plus. Yard is nice! We walked to the beach several times and drove to Laikai Beach as well. Only advise is spiff up the second bathroom shower!

Comfortable

This cottage provided a comfortable relaxed place to spend our Oahu vacation. Truly enjoyed the outdoor and indoor spaces. The proximity to the ocean was what made it special. Easy access to the ocean 1 minute walk away. While there was no beach to langue on directly across the street, it was only a 8 minute walk to Lanikai beach which is stunning. The neighborhood was enjoyable and quiet. No AC but didn’t need as there were adequate fans and screened windows. Property management very responsive too.

Paradise Found

The week we had in this quaint Lanikai cottage was wonderful. The location is ideal, we walked to the beach, we rode bikes into town, we kayaked out to the Mokuluas, and we did the Lanikai Pillbox hike, all without getting in the car once. We found our favorite breakfast place the first morning at the Kalapawai Market and went there almost each day. The primary bedroom was great, the bed was comfortable, we had all of the windows open and woke to birds chirping and the island air. The kitchen had everything we needed. The family room is a good size and the TV is on Roku, so we could find anything we wanted. Having the washer/dryer was ideal, we really didn't have to pack as much as we did because we could just throw in a load of clothes, towels, etc... The house has beach chairs and beach towels, which was convenient as well. We would love to come back again soon!

Lovely Lanikai Cottage

Great location— Lanikai beach is gorgeous morning, noon and night. Comfortable cottage, just across the street from ocean access and short walk to beach entrance. Lots of windows, light and breezes. Updated and fully-stocked kitchen; partially updated bathrooms. Front and back grass areas + outdoor table on covered porch. Outdoor washer/dryer + outdoor shower! Beach towels, chairs and umbrella.

Wonderful cottage in a perfect location

Spacious and well appointed beach cottage with everything needed for a relaxing stay on Lanikai beach, which is a short walk with ocean access just steps away. Very nice landscaping with multiple citrus trees, though not much ready for consumption when we were there. The lack of air conditioning didn't bother us since there are ceiling fans and constant breezes. The tenants sharing the property are very friendly, but their side of the property is the least attractive.

Lanikai cottage January 2021

The cottage is delightful for 2-4. Beach is 8 minute walk. Easy breezy. Water access for paddle board is less than a minute. Kitchen was easy to work with and the master suite very comfortable. Beautiful to see 700 foot hill on one side and the ocean on the other side.

Great Cottage for Lanikai Life

This cottage is a great way to feel the Aloha when visiting Lanikai! First, Misty, the property manager, is quick to communicate and there to ensure that all is well for the duration of the stay. The location is great; close to the Pill Box trail that my 2 young kids enjoyed hiking and close to the beautiful beach of Lanikai. The gentle waves and the sugar fine sand make this a spectacular beach. It's also a nice neighborhood for morning jogs. Kalapawai Market, just a mile or 2 down the way, is great for morning coffee and breakfast, a beer run, or the late evening run for a bag of ice. Convenient and charming. The cottage is well equipped and clean. The outdoor shower in back is great for rinsing off the fine sand before heading in via the back entrance straight to a shower! This helps to keep the cottage free of sand tracked in via sandy feet and bathing suits. Opening the windows is a must to keep it cool inside as there is no AC. With the windows open, you can hear vehicles passing by which becomes less frequent around 9pm. But you can hear them nonetheless. It didn't bother my family and I so much, but if you need dead silence to fall asleep, keep this in mind. Also, you'll hear the birds into the evening and early in the morning. Note that the driveway is shared with a neighbor to the back of the lot. They are very kind family, truly living with the Aloha spirit! Be sure to wave 'hello' when crossing paths on the driveway. Our interaction with the neighbors added that unique island touch that keeps us coming back to Hawaii! This cottage is staying on my list of places to stay when the time comes for another visit to the east side of Oahu!

Charming Home In Lanikai Close To The Beach

This updated and very tidy home was suited perfectly for my family of four. It's a little hard to tell from the pictures, but the second bedroom has a trundle bed that the kids found comfortable. The kitchen has the latest appliances and is well equipped. There's an outdoor shower and electric BBQ. I had kayaks and SUPs delivered to the house from a local rental company. There's ocean access across the street (a straight shot to the Mokes) and beach access a little walk down the road. There's a small home on the rear of the property that's occupied by a couple and their child. They're very cool, quiet, respectful, and in our nine days on the property never had a problem. We'll be back.

Cute beach cottage!

We enjoyed our stay at this house, location was great, a place to jump in the water right across the street. This house was an old school beach house with very nice updates! Kitchen was great, well equipped, clean bathrooms, nice and airy with all the windows open and ceiling fans in every room. Cute living room and great dinning table for a few people. Loved it! Little lack of privacy with the house in the back using the same driveway but overall wasn’t an issue. Would definitely stay again!

Beautiful Hawaiian style cottage

The cottage is as beautiful as the pictures. It gives a quaint modern Hawaiian feel. The cottage was immaculate and the bed comfy. I would have given this 5 stars however we were given the impression was that there was beach access across street. Well it was a partial truth...you can view the ocean - which is a turquoise blue and gorgeous- but you can only view since this is NOT an area for beach chairs and sunning. Beach access is down the street about a 1/4 mile down. Definitely within walking distance and you won’t be disappointed. Check in was flawless. restaurants and stores you will have to drive to. Buzz’s (the closest restaurant) offered steaks and prime rib yum!! I would definitely stay here again

Beautiful cottage, but lack of privacy and lack of quiet in early morning

The cottage is lovely and perfectly set up inside as a rental. The pictures provide an accurate representation. However, I was surprised that there was only a sparse buffer of shrubs (other wise little landscaping and no fence) between the house and the road. This meant that when neighbors start driving down the road at 5:30am, those in the master bedroom wake up, as you need to keep the windows open at night to keep air circulating (a beach house dependent on sea breeze with no a/c). Additionally, there was no lounging space outside, which would have been nice to have. Overall, a pleasant space, with some drawbacks. It was a pleasantly short walk to beach access, and a 15 minute walk to the full Lanikai beach. FYI, the host doesn't provide bath soap or shampoo.
