Lanikai reviews

Guest Rating:

THE UNIT WAS EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN AND QUIET. THE SEA BREEZE WAS MAGNIFICENT. IT WAS PERFECT FOR 2 COUPLES AS EACH HAD THEIR OWN 'SUITE' . WE LOVED IT AND PLAN TO REQUEST IT ON OUR NEXT VISIT.

We felt the place was comfortable and clean, a beautifully remodeled studio.

The location in Lanikai was very nice. It was nice to get up in the morning and take a jog around the neighborhood and see all the other runners and walkers. The hill behind the house was a fun hike too. We really enjoyed the soft sands and swimming in the warm waters of the beaches at Lanikai and Kailua. Next time we would like to kayak to the "Moke's" and do some snorkeling there. Haunamau bay was packed on Monday (holiday) and closed on Tuesday, so we missed our chance. Maybe next time. We had a great time watching the playoff games at the "Shack". We also enjoyed driving up the North coast and watching the surfing competition. The Breakfast at the Big City Diner was pretty tasty too! The owners paid attention to the details,like plenty of towels and TP. The flowers on the bathroon sink were a nice touch too. We would rent here again...

The customer service was excellent, the beach was beautiful and the watersports available in Kailua are a must. See you next year!

We enjoyed our stay at this rental, especially since it was located so close to the beach and town itself. It was very relaxing and quiet in the evenings and night as to allow restful sleep. Mahalo

Although this rental was clean and nicely decorated with Hawaiian touches, I don't recommend this property if you're looking for a quiet retreat because there is a baby that lives upstairs from the unit and he/she cried for long periods of time during the nights and in the early morning hours. The crying could be heard loudly from the rental unit which is part of the main house. After 2 nights we decided to move to a hotel for the remainder of our trip. Upon check in to the rental, the owners disclosed that a baby lives upstairs and to use a "noice box" to drown out the crying. There was no disclosure about the baby at the time of booking which would have been the right thing to do. Beware of this property if you're looking for a restful vacation rental.

What I liked best about the house was the layout, that it was well equipped for living, easy access to the beach and decorated in a pleasing family way. The customer service we received felt very personal and was sooo timely. We never had to wait..negotiate or manoeuver about anything...so refreshing.This exceeded my expectations...you people have so much to do and you make it look easy! The best part of my trip was being with my family and not havin to worry about living arrangements. The best restaurant...in terms of easy access and good food was Buzz's...The best pictures (other than wedding photos) were on the beach or playing games in the house. I can't wait to tell my friends what a magic time we had. There were NO hitches. My advice to someone else staying at this unit would be to trust the Wahinis implicitly and relax and stay at least 2 days longer than you planned to. I would definitely recommend to others is to be in nature...hike and explore around Lanikai and stay at the house too because it's so easy to be present there. The best insider tip was take pictures of sunset and sunrise..kayak to the Mokulua Islands...shop at Ala Moana Mall and in Kailua too. Next time I come i'll do more hiking and exploring the neighbourhood. I CAN'T WAIT TO COME BACK.THANK YOU!!!

House had ample room for our family which was great and the location was a short block from the beach. The property manager and owner were great about quickly resolving concerns. My family had a wonderful time and that is what mattered most. The best part of the trip was swimming with the dolphins at Sea Life Park, definitely worth the money. Best new spot we learned about is Chip and Cookie in Kailua.
