If repeat guests are the true measure of a successful vacation rental property, Lanikai Cottage has hit the mark! Staying in a private, detached dwelling enhances the Lanikai experience, especially when compared to attached studios and rooms within a private home. In fact it is one of the few licensed vacation rentals in Lanikai, of which there are only 15, and is the only one which is a completely separate structure from the owner's residence. (License # 90/TVU-0325) The legality of the cottage can be confirmed at the "bnbcoalition" organization's (org) website.
Located in the world famous beach community of Lanikai, in the town of Kailua, on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, there are two highly rated beaches within minutes. Lanikai Beach is a five minute walk from the cottage. Kailua Beach Park is a three minute drive away. Over the years, Kailua and Lanikai beaches have been given numerous accolades. Lanikai's include best sunrise in Hawaii and most scenic beach in America. The Mokulua Islands off shore from Lanikai have been included in numerous advertisements and movies.
You can kayak out to them and explore the island on the left. You can also hike up the ridgeline behind Lanikai for scenic vistas in all directions. Kailua Beach has been chosen as the best sports beach in America numerous times. In fact, the town of Kailua was chosen as one of the top five spots in America for a permanent vacation! Between these natural attractions and the comfort of the Cottage, the majority of our guests return or refer others.
The cottage was completely remodeled in 2004. It is a Hawaiian-style, beach house with a lanai (deck) on the back for outdoor meals and barbecuing. The glass doors that separate the living room from the lanai slide back into a pocket creating an 8' wide opening. The one bedroom, one bathroom interior also has a living area with a kitchenette. The kitchenette is separated from the rest of the room by a bar-top dining area with bar stools.
The hardwood floor is covered with an area carpet. The wall mounted 18,000 BTU Air Conditioner cools the entire cottage for night time sleep comfort. The bathroom has a glass shower enclosure, toilet, sink, small closet, and shelves. There is a reserved parking spot in the yard. The cottage has its own washer and dryer for your exclusive use. Families with Children are welcome. We also have a crib and high chair available if needed.

Why the Owner Chose Lanikai
Lanikai is an amazing community! It's a peaceful, low-key neighborhood with so much to offer. Of course there are all the ocean sports and the beauty of the Mokulua Islands off-shore. There is hiking up the Lanikai ridge to see the WWII pillboxes plus the awesome 360 degree view of the Windward side of Oahu. There is always just walking or biking around the Lanikai loop.
Start this steep, but amazing hike across the street from Mid-Pac golf course.
Swim, paddle, or kayak out to this little island. Look for turtles on the way. It's a bird santuary so obey the signs to protect the wildlife.

Aloha, we realized that because we had just subscribed to this guestbook service that it would look rather barren unless we added hand written comments from the book which resides in the cottage. So, here are a few... "What a cute place, so relaxing...just what we needed. We felt so at home. Allison and Mike, you two, and this cottage, are pure class! :-)" "We totally enjoyed your comfortable cottage - it's fresh from the pages of Country Living. Thanks for being there when we needed you." "We had a perfect Spring Break from all of the pressures of work and family. The cottage provided a special retreat for us...so much nicer than staying at a large, impersonal hotel."
