Bathroom and kitchen could have been a bit cleaner upon check in. With a week long stay, a refresh of towels and linens would have been nice. Parking, check in, amenities and location were top notch.

The location in a neighborhood was great. It was quiet and peaceful.It’s an older place, dated but with a lot of nice attention to detail. One beach was just a walk away, and the other a 10 minute drive. Both were not crowded.We liked that restaurants and shops weren’t too far away in Kailua, since there was only a microwave at the VRBO.It was 30-60 minutes to go into Honolulu, depending on traffic.

It had a great location close to beach. It was on a quiet street. Host was very gracious with the treats and breakfasts provided. It was nice, like staying at grandma’s house. Older decor, but clean and comfortable.

We loved staying there. Everything that you could imagine was available and many extras were included. Janice was always available and accomodating. The beach is farther away than we expected, although if you got out early, there was plenty of parking for beautiful beaches.

We wanted a quiet area in Oahu, away from the crowds of Waikiki. The Lanikai/Kailua area was a great place to stay that wasn’t too far away from Honolulu when we had activities there. This studio is in a quiet residential neighborhood. The studio itself is a bit dated, but it’s a quaint place. Janice, the homeowner, personalized some nice details, which was really nice. Breakfast baked goods, fruit, and snacks lasted us for most of the week. It was an enjoyable stay on Oahu.

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.

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.
