"Pua O Lanikai and Pua Iki" reviews

Guest Rating:

We traveled to Hawaii with a disabled child. The Rental Agency was great with getting us information on local medical services, etc. It really increased my level of comfort and feeling prepared. Hospital is not far if needed. The house and property were beautiful and the nice thing about having a seawall rather than beach was that it maintained our privacy and with a beautiful view. Buzz's food was great as well as Roundtable pizza and both very close. We were able to rent Kayaks and bikes during our stay to use as needed. The trail up "Bunker Hill" to watch the sunrise was alot of fun, not overly challenging but a good morning work out.

I had purchased a self guided CD tour of Oahu and we split our drive around the island into a couple days so it wasn't tiring. Dole plantation, Pearl Harbor, Waikiki, Blowhole, Hanaumu Bay, Chinaman's Hat, a Luau @ Paradise Cove and the North Shore Shave Ice. We saw them all but at our own pace and not on a travel bus. We could cut the day short and go back and relax. Kailua Beach Park and Lanikai Beach were alot of fun and amazingly not very crowded.We did need to watch out for jellyfish but they were dark blue so easy enough to spot.

One issue with the house was a loud wailing sound during the night at either one of the 2 back bedrooms. We had a couple sleepless nights but when my son-in-law came over on the weekend he found it was some kind of seabirds that would walk under the window and make all kinds of noise. Never saw them during the day but if you hear a very loud howling it is just a bird under the window. Pool and Lawn people were very friendly and the Pool maintenance man shared alot of information about the area.

Would like to get to the Polynesian Cultural Center next time and maybe take some paddling lessons.

Great location. Lot's of things to do around the island for both adults and children. For a large family vacation, having six bedrooms was perfect. The pool is well maintained and we made use of it everyday. Beach was OK. Better beaches were a short car ride away. ("Manager Note: this home is situated on Lanikai beach which is consistently voted in the top 10 by Dr. Beach of Conde Naste Traveler magazine. It is to be noted that this home does not sandy beach front but instead has a sea wall with built in step for easy access to the water. Lanikai sandy beach is less than one block away.")

Wonderful house. Lots of space and outdoor living indoors. The whole house opens up. The beach and ocean are wonderful. Good house for large gatherings. It is well maintained and very comfortable. We miss it already.

We can't say enough good things about this rental. The house is very nice...but the location is unbeatable. The landscape had been cut back some ocean-side and it really opened up the view.
