Location good only if you're wanting to be in Lanikai/Kailua

We were here for one week for work in Kailua, so the location worked well for us. The host leaves a very generous basket of food and snacks upon arrival. All amenities such as towels, bedding, accessories to use at the beach, shampoo, coffee, extra toilet paper and tissues- all extremely well supplied. I feel the room needs a refresh- even fresh bed linens and new pillows would go a long way. Same with the shower curtain- it's all rusted up where the hooks are- considering the amount charged for the studio and the cost of a new shower curtain, it seems like it could be do-able to refresh the curtain every few months. Grounds are beautiful- Lanikai/Kailua are stunning- just know it's a drive to anywhere else on islandA few cons for us; we had a LOT of luggage as we carry a portable office in suitcases wherever we travel- you WILL have to navigate X amount of stairs. The path to the stairs is beautiful, but rocky and uneven- I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who isn't sure-footed or is shaky on their feet. Also- I feel it should be noted in the listed that parking is a bit of a challenge. there IS a nice carport that is for guests to use- however if you have anything larger than a compact size, it's near impossible to fit two cars in at the same time. You are encouraged to not park in the driveway, so it made it hard when another mini-van was in the carport and I could not park our car. We did park way off to the side of the driveway for a few hours but I felt badly.

I was convinced by the previous reviews and ratings that this place would be great. Unfortunately, it is now a bait and switch. They will assign you whatever room they want to each guest. And given the cancelation policy, you will be stuck with it. A two room suite with hot tub is the same cost as the studios, and guests have no control over which room they are assigned. Also, there is no breakfast. You will not be greeted by anyone, just given different phone numbers of people to contact if you need anything. It's not a bed and breakfast at all.

A great stay, beautiful location and reasonable price. It was quiet and private. The owner was very responsive to a request for more pillows. The decor is alittle dated but not in a distracting way. All in all, a great place to stay!

Paradise

Lanikai is truly one of the most beautiful places on Earth, and Hawai'i's Hidden Hideaway and its host, Janice, are absolute treasures. We definitely plan on returning, and would recommend this property to anyone wanting a peaceful and private stay within walking distance of one of the top beaches in the world, and easy access to all the inland and coastal sights on O'ahu.

Perfect place to stay in Kailua!

We wanted to stay in Kailua because of Lanikai beach and this was just a short walk away—so perfect!! The place was super cute, we got the room with the hot tub and we got a lot of use out of it!! Also, I wasn’t expecting the amount of snacks, drinks, and breakfast items in our unit when we arrived! It was super generous and delicious stuff!!! Thank you very much for the wonderful place to stay.

end of trip

Could not have asked for a better location! We typically begin our holidays in busier island areas then end somewhere more relaxed. This BnB worked great for us. The breakfasts made it possible for us to get our days started early. And the beach equipment was appreciated and in really good condition. Even without the tradewinds, we didn't need the a/c, fans kept us comfortable.

Lovely studio!

The location is incredible, just a short walk to beautiful Lanikai beach! There was a bit of confusion about which place we were staying in but once we were there it was clear. We were in a studio with twin beds and a small kitchenette. there was a nice sitting area for breakfast. Our lovely host Janice provided everything we needed for our beach outings and more food than we could eat! A big thank you to Janice!

Hidden nightmare

From the outside it is just like the pictures . The inside is a different matter . It’s is dirty outdated and cluttered . It’s also infested with bugs and mosquitoes. I received 9 bites within 24 hours , and I have an allergy to bites so I’m still dealing with the aftermath. The host is extremely slow to respond insists on communicating via email or landline phone which she never answers and takes 24 hours plus to respond . Also the stirs going to the studio are a death trap rocks and uneven edges that she waters at night and in the am it’s a slip and fall nightmare .We received a refund - however that does not begin to compensate for the bites , we checked out 3 days early and moved to a clean hotel.
