Great location and hosting!

Amazing location on Lanikai Beach! Hale Lanikai was extremely clean, beautifully decorated and well appointed with everything you need for a beach vacation. The beds were so comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked including many spices, and everything for cooking meals. The views were absolutely breathtaking! Hands down the BEST rental home we have ever stayed in! We were all very happy with the experience and hope to return one day!

Pristine cleanliness throughout the house - and smelled clean too - no cover up with plug ins. Every inch of the house looked as if it had recently been painted. The view is stunning and we found ourselves completely content to spend a lot of our time here. The design of the house is so perfect for a group/family. Each bedroom has its own bathroom and has ample space as well as an air condition unit. The common spaces were excellent and took full advantage of the stunning view with large windows. While these spaces did not have air condition - you absolutely did not need it as the placement of the windows with the louvered windows provided a constant cool breeze. The furniture, both indoors and out was so comfortable and we loved the multiple seating areas on the back patio, front porch, front yard, living room and dining room. The kitchen was perfectly appointed with every item you may have needed. We were a family group and cooked almost every meal in. The hosts must have incredible hospitality skills as they even provided sound machines in each bedroom to drown out the mysterious protected birds that nest nearby and have "concerts" early in the morning. Along with the cotton balls they provide - this light sleeper never was bothered by them. The property is in an excellent neighborhood location with lovely walking capability near Kailua Park. After staying here for a week, we may be spoiled forever!

Hale Lanikai was perfect! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and the house really worked great for all the family! Rachel was so good about checking in with us, and making sure everything was going well! Will definitely be back!

We normally stay in hotels when we travel, but we had six people this time, and wanted the ability to cook and really spend quality family time together on this vacation. I pored over listings, all over Hawaii and Mexico, and I was so nervous about making the right choice. Let me just say, Hale Lanikai is the best choice I ever could have made. The house is absolutely adorable. There is plenty of yard space for bocce ball and yard games, you can use the front yard under the shade trees, or you can use the beachfront “back” yard. The gate goes straight down to the tip of Lanikai beach which makes it almost like your own private beach because people don’t camp out right in front of the house. Everything has been updated, they have absolutely everything you could need or want. So many towels, lotions and shampoos, great bedding. They have beach toys and everything you need to cook meals. The AC was plenty to keep us cool in the bedrooms, and the ocean breezes were fine to keep us cool in the other parts of the home. I’m already trying to figure out when we can go back because I just wasn’t ready to leave. We barbecued and played in the sand. We rented mopeds to keep at the house for the week so that we could ride around the adorable little area of Kailua and Lanikai. We kept a paddleboard at the house and kayaked out to the Mokes right off the back porch. I highly recommend this home. I cannot wait to return to it as soon as possible!

I cannot say enough good about our experience at Hale Lanikai. From the incredibly easy booking process, to the seamless check-in experience, and the absolutely luxurious stay, this vacation was a dream. We have stayed at many short term rental properties over the years and never have we been as surprised as we were at the level of luxury provided. Every amenity and convenience was anticipated and provided. The setting could not be more beautiful and the neighborhood very quiet. We would absolutely recommend this property or any of Hawaiian Villa Rentals properties, even site unseen. I have no doubt that they would be just as good an experience. Thank you for an incredible experience!

The house was everything we could have hoped for and well worth the expense. The view was unbelievable, the yard was so well maintained and usable, the house was basically brand new and so well decorated. The layout was great for a large family. Every convenience you could have ever needed was there for you, be it kitchen, beach or extra towels and linens. They thought about ALL the details to make this an easy and relaxing vacation. Property management was super responsive to any need. Five stars!

Simply perfect. Location, comfort, everything you may need in the house, easy check-in/out. Super comfortable and absolutely beautiful!
