About this property

Just a two minute (75 yard) walk to beautiful Kailua Beach using our private beach access! Air conditioning and Wifi included.

The studio is detached from the main house, separated by a large yard and located upstairs above a garage. It has a private entrance and no shared walls. Nicknamed 'The Treehouse' due to the many surrounding trees and island-style landscaping.

Near Beachfront Property

This second floor apartment studio with balcony/deck is three houses from the beach via a sandy walkway. It is in a quiet neighborhood, near parks and shopping services. It is well-supplied, clean and tidy. We would return there in an instant.

Nice Treehouse close to the beach

We enjoy the stay in the Treehouse. Big enough for two poeple. Items for the beach all available.Everything is also available in the kitchenA small criticism is the bed, a bit too narrow and too soft for us. But that is of course a matter of taste.

Most excellent!

Description of the property was right on. Very short walk to the beach and sunrise everyday! Studio was very clean, had basic supplies and a small deck with seating which we used for every meal. Comfortable bed, beautiful bathroom and shower. Short drive or walk to restaurants or shopping. 10 out of 10! Thank you!

Birthday Getaway

This beautiful cottage felt like a home away from home, reminding my husband and I of our 1st apartment 22yrs ago. The beautiful walks on the Beach to view the sunrises every morning were spectacular, the shops are so close by and the neighborhood is so quiet that we would come back again. Thank you Maureen for sharing your beautiful home with us. Mahalo 🌺 Joe and Cynthia B

good Kailua spot

Clean, well-designed efficiency unit above garage with windows on three sides and fans if you like living tropical, and a functional air conditioning unit if you like/need that. Very close to the beach; off a main road. Parking for one car. Owner available via messaging and pleasantly responsive. Just perfect for my trip.

Perfect Spot!!

This is the perfect spot.. you are steps from the beach in a quest little back street. Kalapawai Market is 100 yards away as is a little spot with great food. Neighborhood is quiet and the beach is all locals. The place provides excellent value!

Kailua 2024

Wonderful property, close to the beach. Unfortunately, it rained the whole time we were there. One note, the Vizio entertainment system is satisfactory, however, I would have preferred to have some local Honolulu TV channels besides the Vizio System.

Tree house at Lanikai

Our stay in Lanikai was incredible. The neighborhood, property and room were excellent. The relaxing and calm beach a stones throw away, as well as food and shopping. Our hosts were accommodating and attentive, ready to answer any question immediately. It was such a fun and romantic stay, we loved every minute and highly recommended choosing this for your next getaway.

Just a short walk to the beach

10/10 will definitely stay here again next time we're on Oahu. Just a short walk to the beach. So close we could see the water every morning on the great lanai while having bfast and coffee. Communication with Maureen was great. Quiet location/residential area. Has everything you need for your stay including things for the beach. A/C is a bonus.

Paradise

This adorable unit is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need: fully stocked kitchen, bathroom amenities, even all the beach toys like chairs, ice chest, beach towels, floaty toys and boogie boards! Just bring your swimsuit and enjoy the very short walk down a private trail to a beach with the softest sand I’ve ever experienced. The hosts are very friendly and responsive. I can’t wait to go back!

Great Location!

We had a lovely stay here while enjoying vacation and traveling for work. We teleworked from the property for a couple days and found the WiFi and setup to be great. The location is so close to the beach and numerous shops and restaurants. Short drive into Kailua for additional services. Two things of note for others. The bed is on the softer side and there isn’t a dishwasher so dishes are hand washed. Whoever stayed before us did a so-so job with cleaning them, so we ended up having to rewash before using in some cases. In the scheme of things these were fairly minor and we loved staying here!

Stay here!!!!

Best location, best price, best everything!! It felt like we were Kailua residents for a few days - private parking, private beach entrance (far enough from the public beach that we had the beach to ourselves), and the accommodations are perfect. Hosts had thought of everything for us - cooler, beach chairs, towels, even after sun aloe for when I didn’t wear enough sunscreen. Perfect getaway for a couple, even has a private balcony with a sunrise ocean view. Stay here!!
