Mini Family Reunion

This home away from home is filled with Aloha! The Studio APT was perfect for my older brother and wife when they needed a break from our young grandchildren. Plenty of room for visiting, dining and cooking together as a family. You can watch the sun rise from the balcony with a cup of tea or coffee. Or, a short walk down the road to enjoy it from the beach. The kitchen has everything you need to enjoy meals at home.The grill was an added bonus. Spent evenings on the patio furniture catching up with family. The ocean breeze and ceiling fans kept the house cool. Everything seen in the photos is accurate. The host was wonderful, answered all our questions and even checked on us after we checked in to see if we needed anything. Thanks Irene! We will visit again. Mahalo

Amazing property in Kailua

This is a beautiful home. Everything you need is there to cook (or not), go to the beach and relax. You can walk to beautiful beaches and snorkel. Or do yoga on the grass. I cannot say enough good things about this home. Do not miss the opportunity to stay here. Thank you!

Great Gem Near the Beach

My family and I really enjoyed Irene's place! It was well accommodated and had many of the things that you need, but likely forgot to pack/ plan. Every room has a fan, which is nice, but if you need AC, you'll prob want to look for another location. Overall, a great stay!

Unforgettable Stay!!!

A Dreamlike Getaway with Exceptional Hospitality! From the kind and accommodating owner to the pristine cleanliness and convenient amenities, this property stands out as the finest we’ve experienced on the island. Nestled in a serene and tranquil neighborhood, just minutes away from breathtaking beaches, it truly felt like our home away from home. An absolute must for anyone seeking a peaceful and beautiful stay in Oahu!

Couldn't ask for nicer.

Super residential area within walking distance of amazing beach. Home is lovely with top quality amenities. We particularly liked all the beach equipment and the private back yard. Far enough from the bustle of Honolulu, but easy to get to for day trips. Had an issue with ice maker so owner had ice delivered and was very attentive to our needs.

Outstanding Stay of a Lifetime

Have been to Oahu multiple times, mostly Waikiki side, but not until now have I had the true ohana experience. The house is undersold by the pictures and description since it can easily sleep 9 people. My dream is getting the host to be my new bff; just a lovely person. The neighborhood is one of the most exclusive on the island. All of the beaches in Oahu are public, but some are so difficult to reach they might as well be private; the 2 minute walk from the house presented us with over a mile of white sanded isolation. There was only a 20 minute walk to the famous Kailua beach where the family kayak'd to Popoia Island and hiked the famous Lanikai Pillbox all of which can be seen from the lovely home. The only true downside is that I hope this review doesn't overbook the home since my dream is for this to be my new May residence.

Hale Alapi’i

The property is fantastic. We would definitely stay at this location again. Outdoors: Immaculate oasis in the backyard. They provide a grill, umbrella, and everything you need for the beach. There is a wagon to haul all of the beach stuff as well. Towels, chairs, and kids sand toys. There is a hose right as you enter the front gate. This was a great feature as you can wash the sand off your feet/shoes, etc before walking up to the stairs. We also arrived late at night one of the nights and there are motion lights so you can easily find your way to the door. I would highlight, there are 8 steep stairs to climb in order to enter the house (and carry your luggage up). If anyone in your party has mobility constraints, this may be a concern for you. Indoors: The house is very clean and well maintained. It is also stocked with all of the essentials. We love the 'pay it forward' style (if you use it, replace it for the next guests). Plenty of room for everyone in your party to visit, relax, and have meals. As noted, they do not have air-conditioning, but they do have great working ceiling fans in each room as well as a standing fan. We stayed in the month of February, so the weather was a mild 75 degrees. We still leveraged the fans and opened the windows for the nice trade winds to cool the home. Mahalo

Perfect in every way!

The home was immaculate, well-put-together, and comfortable. It was perfect for our extended stay in Oahu. The neighborhood was quiet, and beach access was blocks away. After visiting Waikiki and Honolulu, it was pleasant returning to Lanikai with its lush flora and relaxed atmosphere. Nighttime strolls through the neighborhood were enjoyable and peaceful. Our stay included the back cottage so we could accommodate twin teenagers, maternal grandfather, paternal grandmother, husband, and me. We cooked and BBQ with ease. We appreciated using the beach chairs and towels; it was easy to wash the beach clothes in the convenient washer and dryer. The bathrooms were clean and designed well. I can't say enough great things about this home; the owner is terrific and promptly responded to our questions. Our first family trip to a Hawaiian island was fantastic, thanks partly to these beautiful accommodations! We would definitely stay here again!

Fantastic Home Away From Home

Our family of six thoroughly enjoyed staying at this beautiful property! We also rented the detached studio, which provided us additional space to spread out. The neighborhood was nice and quiet. Lanikai Beach, the closest beach to the house, was stunning. Finally, we couldn’t be more impressed (and grateful for) with the communication and responsiveness of the property manager—the best we’ve ever rented from!
