Reviews

The Lanikai Escape was the perfect location for a beach vacation in Hawaii. In fact, this was our seventh trip to Hawaii and Lanikai is our favourite beach for snorkelling, swimming, kayaking, and paddle boarding. The Mokulua Islands are beautiful and make a perfect spot to paddle or kayak to for a visit. The studio is well equipped, very nicely furnished and is perfect for a couple. Dena was friendly and accommodating, but also gave us privacy. Thank you very much! We hope to be back again next year.

Enjoyed 8 night stay at the lovely Lanikai Escape. Comfortable accomodations with all the conveniences of home - full kitchen, dining table, comfy king size bed, large flat screen TV, our own lanai. Nice to have our own parking space. Studio is above the garage (enter through garage). Also, generous use of beach equipment, kayak, etc. Ocean access is right next to the house, but beach access is about 2 blocks away, a quick 10 minute walk. We were made to feel right at home, did not want to leave.

Carrie B., San Diego, CA, 2.4.13

This is a great rental property that is spacious, well appointed and the hosts are very nice. The only minor item that should be pointed out is that, although they are located next to a beach access path, it does not lead to the beach itself-directly to the water-you can swim over to the beach but not walk. The nearest access is an easy couple of blocks away. Other than that, the pictures are accurate, there are any number of beach stuff you can use, including kayaks.

Perfect spot in the Lanikai loop! Family in the main house is very friendly and so welcoming. They let us use snorkel gear, sea kayak, beach gear etc. The studio was very comfortable and perfectly sized. Very comfortable and perfect balcony for coffee.

Alex N., Denver, CO, 5.15.12

Lanikai Escape was PERFECT for my husband and I. It was comfortable, nicely furnished/decorated and the location is absolutely SENSATIONAL! It's not just the proximity to the ocean, but the neighborhood itself - there is a sense of ease, security and safety, and a feel of 'locals' just going about their business, so you do feel completely at home away from home. Mike and Dena are ultra friendly/supportive hosts, but at the same time, there is a sense of respecting each other's privacy. Hanging out with Leroy, their chocolate lab was fun, too :) The points that we liked the very best about being at Lanikai Escape: Pillbox Trail - it's a 3mile/5km trail along the ridge with absolutely STUNNING views of the area - the trail head is about 2 blocks from the place - Do it on the first day,because once you see the views - you will want to do it every day! Having access to Mike & Dena's collection of water and land toys (stand up paddle board, boogie boards, kayaks, bikes, lawn chairs, beach mats etc) Having a massive stash of beach towels on hand (and our own private washer and dryer to keep all our stuff dry and clean) The drawer full of 'recycled' past visitors' Hawaii guide books and maps - if Oahu is the only place you are coming, the borrow-able books are here already! the nearby shops are all easy to get to and reasonably priced. Dena and Mike have even left a hand-made information book for your use, Including maps to each local shop (Safeway, Foodland etc - INCLUDING the membership/club cards!) maps and menus to local restaurants, and general info about sight seeing, attractions/destinations (THANKS GUYS!) the fact that Mike and Dena do not necessarily throw out what other visitors have left behind at their place - for the continued use of future visitors. There is a big basket of various sun screens. There is laundry soap and dryer sheets next to the washer/dryer. The bathroom cupboards are stocked with shampoo, conditioner, Q-Tips, body wash - a hair dryer WITH a diffuser, for all you curly haired folks! etc. The kitchen has an assortment of condiments in the fridge, and spices etc in the cupboards. There are also other bits and pieces of non-perishable food stuffs in the cupboards, as well as things like plastic wrap, zip lock bags, plastic cutlery etc etc. Having these essentials left for us was an especially nice touch - to make us feel even more at home! (We also donated to the stash by leaving a few things of our own :o)) These are always the things that every visitor needs to buy or bring on their holiday when staying in a self contained unit - I only wish ALL self contained units/houses would follow this example!!! We live in Australia, so getting back to Hawaii is not an easily recurring destination, but just a few days after our leaving, we already inquired with Vacation Rental Agent to see whether this place was available for an additional week on the way back! Mahalo! :o) Kara and Lach

Such a lovely peaceful place to stay and the hosts Dina and Mike are so warm and welcoming. Lanikai is a little piece of heaven in Oahu and we will definitely return.... A very high standard of accommodation too - such a comfy king size bed and all the mod cons you need! A hire car is a must though as you need to drive 5-10 mins to get to the restaurants.

Lisa M., Sydney, NSW, 10.26.11

Lanikai Escape was extremely clean and had everything you could possibly need. The renters are very nice people and have a lot of information about Ohau. The beach in Lanikai is beautiful!! If you love relaxing and take it easy, this is the place for you!

Cheryl & Mike K., East gwillimbury, ON, 9.2.11

Lanikai beach is a piece of heaven--few tourists, beautiful sand and seas. The accommodation was perfect--bright, quiet, pretty, zen-like, with a lovely lanai from which to enjoy the sunrise over the sea and a morning coffee. A quiet street, minutes walk from Lanikai, and a short walk to Kailua beach. Mike and Dena were warm and welcoming, and most helpful--I hope I can find a chance to stay here again!

Lara C., Calgary, AB, 4.22.11

Robbie and Mike are excellent hosts. The studio has all that one needs for a comfortable stay. The location is perfect.

Gloria L., San Francisco, CA, 11.3.10

The Lanikai Escape was a fantastic retreat for my husband and I. We rarely get to take vacations, so we truly appreciated the "home away from home" vibe at the Lanikai escape. Robbie and Mike were so welcoming and friendly. EVERYTHING we could need was provided for us: Beach towels, cooking utensils, washer/dryer, use of kayaks, life vests, beach chairs, etc. The unit was very comfortable and clean, with all new finishes. Robbie and Mike also left some very useful tips, restaurant recommendations, and directions to local stores for us in a binder, which we took with us everywhere. Not being familiar with the area, it was so helpful to have that information at hand. The door to the main house was always open if Robbie or Mike were home. If we needed anything, they made sure we felt comfortable enough to ask! The unit is located on the Leeward side of Oahu, in a cute town called Kailua. The beaches are fantastic. Kailua Beach Park has a lifeguard on duty, as well as restrooms, picnic areas and a nice long, wide swath of soft sandy beach and crystal clear, calm water. Lanikai Beach has the softest sand ever, but does not have any facilities or parking. You can walk to Lanikai Beach from the unit and Kailua Beach is a very short drive. There is also water access directly next to the unit. Perfect for bringing out a kayak for the day! Definitely kayak out to "the Moke's" with the provided ocean kayak's. The water is calm and crystal clear. The beach, rugged island and bird sanctuary waiting to be explored there are amazing!!! That was a highlight of our trip, for sure. We also drove up to the North Shore and explored a little, but did not find the big waves we were expecting ( they are biggest from Nov-March ). If you want to watch some good waves, body boarding and surfing, try out Sandy Beach Park or Makapu'u Beach Park!! These are not really "swimming" beaches, but are good places to get some sun while watching the surfers and body boarders. Hanauma Bay Park has the BEST snorkeling and quite a nice beach, to boot. It makes for a very nice day! Arrive early, it gets crowded by late morning, and the water is clearer the earlier you go. Stop by Sandy Beach Park or Makapu'u Beach Park on the way back from Hanauma Bay. They are right on the way back to the unit from the Bay. We tried many of the local restaurants, including Cinammon's, Buzz's and Lucy's. Lucy's wound up being our favorite. The food and service were top notch, but the atmosphere was relaxed -- perfect. We made a couple return trips there. Also, breakfast at Cinammon's was great! If you drive in to Honolulu / Waikiki ( it's maybe 30 minutes ), try out Duke's. It's inside the Outrigger Hotel set directly on Waikiki. It's a fun atmosphere, and they have very good Mai-tai's :D Be prepared to wait a spell if you come for dinner around sunset. Perhaps the best recommendation we could give is that we would return to this unit WITHOUT HESITATION on a future trip. We fell in love with the area, and the Lanikai Escape felt like a home away from home!

Lori H., Austin, TX, 10.26.10

WE LOVED THE LANIKAI ESCAPE, SO PEACEFUL AND QUIET, YET ONLY 20 MINUTES TO HONOLULU. EVERYTHING WE NEEDED WAS PROVIDED, AND ROBBIE AND HER HUSBAND WERE VERY WELCOMING AND HELPFUL. KAYAKS ARE PROVIDED, AND A ROMANTIC TRIP TO THE ISLANDS IN A TWO PERSON KAYAK IS A MUST. (WEAR YOUR LIFE JACKETS). THE BEACH AT THE PROPERTY HAS THE MOST EXQUISITE SAND ON OAHU...FINE, WHITE AND BEAUTIFUL, PLUS IT IS RARE TO SEE ANOTHER PERSON ON THAT BEACH. WE WOULD DEFINITELY RETURN TO THIS RELAXING LOCATION.

Doug B., Tenmile, Oregon, 3.27.10

Lanikai Escape was amazing! Robbie was so friendly and accommodating. Everything was perfect -- the location, layout, decor, everything! We used the kitchen quite a bit and it was convenient to have a washer/dryer to use as well. Everything you need is already in the condo as far as pots, pans, utensils, and even shampoo, books and beach towels. Lanikai is the best beach in Oahu, and it is still a quick drive to the North Shore and Waikiki. We loved eating at Buzz's Steakhouse nearby. I would definitely recommend this to others. We didn't have time this trip, but next trip Iwe're looking forward to snorkeling in Hanauma Bay park which is not far. We love to eat so we'd recommend going to Leonard's Bakery in Honolulu for malasadas, Romy's Shrimp Shack on the way to the North Shore, Ted's Bakery for Haupia Pie (on the North Shore), and Aoki's and/or Matsumoto's for Shave Ice in Haleiwa. There is so much more to Oahu than just Waikiki, and this is absolutely the best place to stay to prove it...

Darlene C., Miami, FL, 2.17.10

Lanikai Escape was everything we had hoped for and then some! It looked just like the photos, but the photos can't convey how large it actually is - we were afraid it might feel small, but it's a great big, bright & airy space, windows everywhere, high ceilings, and everything is done top notch. Fabulous views off the lanai. Robbie & Michael were gracious hosts, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrrived. We've stayed at several rentals in the Kailua/Lanikai area, and if you are looking for a great location for a getaway for two, you won't do any better than this.

Wendy L., Phoenix, AZ, 3.16.09

Robbie & Michael are wonderful hosts! They made us feel welcome and are a great example of what 'Aloha' is all about. The unit is a wonderful and relaxing place to be, with all that you could possibly need at your disposal. The sound of the waves crashing is my favorite lullaby. Definitely take advantage of the kayaks and the easy access to the Mokes. They are a great paddle out and you will have a wonderful cruise back. Relax have a Mai Tai & grill up some Huli Huli Chicken on the grill. Don't forget to walk on Kailua beach too! It is a fabulous walk and you get to see some great kite surfing along the way. Thanks again for the great memories, we will definitely be back again soon!

Jennifer C., Napa, CA, 12.28.08

This is a wondeful place. Off the beaten path yet very close to several great beaches, restaurants, and shopping. The unit is newly constructed with top end comforts, located in a private, beautiful neighborhood. We hope to return soon.
