About this house rental

Welcome to Walker's Lanikai Beach House. John Walker, was a Scotsman who made his way to Hawaii as a young man in the 1870's to become a contractor of choice to Queen Liliuokalani, and erect such notable buildings as the Bishop Museum and Honolulu Hale (City Hall).

Mr. Walker's inviting presence is felt in the structure of this, his favorite hideaway on Lanikai Beach. Built in 1934, this enchanting environment transports you back to an era of graceful living, where the worries of the world are lost in the luxury of sea, sand and restful surroundings. Following recent renovations, the house contains just the right combination of added comforts in its updated kitchen, guest quarters and “boat house”, with elements of charm carefully preserved from a richly felt past.

One of the first homes to take advantage of Lanikai’s heavenly reef-protected waters and natural stretch of white sand beach, John Walker’s Beach House set the standard by which the surrounding community grew…a standard which has been nurtured by his family through the years for you to enjoy. Although only with us in spirit, John Walker’s love of Lanikai is preserved by one of his most revered places in the world.

The main house features 3 bedrooms, kitchen and large "great room" with spacious guest rooms. Steps away is the white soft sands of Lanikai Beach with access to the water provided from the front lawn. With a separate entry, the 'guest cottage' located off the entry courtyard features a queen-bedded room and a small parlor with kitchenette (sleeps up to 4). Another private entry "boathouse" sits above the garage - complete with its own living room, kitchen, bathroom and lanai. The "boathouse" also has a loft area with double bed that may be suitable for young children (sleeps 2-4). This is the classic Lanikai Beach House - for those looking for a casual, relaxing getaway on the shores of one of the worlds' best beaches!

Main House Primary - King Bed, ensuite bathroom with shower, split a/c, smart TV

This property is even better than the pictures show. The location is excellent and the home is very well provisioned with all the necessary items and then some. The live orchids were a special touch enjoyed by many of us. The separate spaces worked well for our family of 9, including two infant grandchildren. The rental agent and property manager were very helpful and communicative. We had no issues during our rental.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home is in a very quiet area. There was a bit of traffic on the street as it is a one way street. Was very hard to get to the beach from the homes stairs as there were only large stones down there. The public walkway was just one house away which was not bad. We did need to drive a ways to get to anything. The home is old but very nice. We also got to use the boathouse and the cottage which were cute. All places had a kitchen which were well equipped. There is a hiking trail close to the house. They had a lot of toys and equipment for the beach which is nice if you stay there at the beach. Loved the view could see diamond head, the waves hitting the wall and the sun.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Absolute best vacation location ever. In all my travels around the world, this home was the best ever. The historic home did not disappoint. It's rare that photos of a home match up to the reality. In this case, the reality outdid the photos. How can you complain about a beach front historic home that you can call your own, if only for a few days? Impeccably maintained with 100 year old charm. Beautiful. We will return as often as possible! WE have already recommended this location as a must-see destination for our friends. Huge windows looking out over the crystal blue sea, cozy living space, updated kitchen appliances, comfortable and enticing areas to sit and just soak it all in. Magnificent!
