Great place

This place is so cute and quiet. After a long day playing tourist it was so nice to come back to this clean, quiet studio. The extra touches were great. Waking up to the birds every morning was so special. I love this place.

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 It’s is dirty outdated and cluttered .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.

A fabulous location - close to beach, golf courses, activities/adventures, restaurants and more. Our accommodations included a private hot tub on a deck with wonderful landscaping, sun and coastal breeze that created a wonderful ambiance. Janice, the B&B host provided an abundance of goodies and personalized treats. The kitchenette was well equipped and the bedroom and bathroom spacious and accurately described.

Beautiful spot

Perfect spot in Kailua. The pictures were a little misleading though. Made it seem like we were getting two separate rooms or two queen size beds but that was not the case. We got one room with two twin beds. My brother and I didn’t mind a bit though! They wrote sweet welcome cards and supplied us with pastries and fresh fruit! We walked to the beach every morning to see an amazing view! It was truly wonderful!
