The property was lovely and sunrises were wonderful. It was very cold during our stay so we didn't get to enjoy the beach.

Had a fabulous time. Close walk to the beach. Wish we could stay longer.

Great place! Lovely view, easy walk to the beach, and lots of beach equipment/toys to use during the stay. Heads up if you have little kids - there are quite a lot of stairs to get up to the house, we were doing a lot of carrying. The view from up top was totally worth it, though! Would stay again.

My hubby and I stayed in Lanikai for the first half of our trip to Oahu. The location exactly met our needs and expectations. The second half we stayed at a famous resort on the other side of the island. The Viewhouse at Lanikai was much better! We loved the Viewhouse, the beach, the locals, the town, etc. Highly recommend is you have a vehicle and want to stay in a low key, relaxing, and friendly area.

Great location in Kailua on Lanikai beach. Clean, easy check in/check out process. Host was great! Would definitely stay here again.

Great place next to the beach.

Everything was great, including getting to meet the owners, they are lovely. It was just a bit pricey for us. I would have been more satisfied with the splurge if things were consistently ‘upscale’ as described but … some of the appliances and fixtures are older and not in great shape. We also felt a bit of a lack of privacy with a window that doesn’t have a shutter that faces the staircase that is the access for both upstairs rentals. Our first night we had the upstairs guests come up the stairs at night and they waved at us while we were sitting inside lol. Anyway, I was hesitant to mention this, but felt kinda like for the price point and description of the rental as ‘upscale’ it was somewhat of a disappointment. If it wasn’t priced as it is none of those things would have mattered to me at all. It didn’t bother us too much, but others might benefit from knowing that the unit is not air conditioned. It does have good ceiling fans, but was consistently around 82f/28C inside at night.

Great location and views, walkable distance from the beach, beach chairs and umbrellas provided. Definitively a great choice if you want to be away from the noise.

Perfect. Could not have been better. Great easy walk to the beach and very clean. We will be back

This was a unique and wonderful place to stay. Lava stone wall, bamboo floor, beautiful staircase through lush plants up to the flat, amazing view, and short walk to one of the world’s most beautiful beaches. We had a wonderful time and felt well taken care of; communication was great.

Such a lovely rental! Feels like home :) The inside was beautiful, the deck was gorgeous. But having your very own parking place in Lanikai is priceless! Great, fast walk to the most beautiful beach in the world.

This property was magical. Could not have ask for a better location and view. Thank you for the memories, Lanikai! Aloha!

Perfect location in Lanikai for a short walk to Lanikai beach. Amazing balcony views of the Mokes. Owner provided beach chairs and equipment for use, which made the beach experience even better! Loved this place.

This was the perfect place for my wife and I during our stay in Kailua. Michelle was a great host and very personable. The beach was a few minutes walk from the house and there were chairs and equipment available. We look forward to returning.

Loved the location. Got used to going to bed early because the birds are loud at 6am but that is what you get with so much wildlife to watch. Incredible view

Checking in to the Viewhouse, I spotted a rainbow over the Mokes :) Everything we needed was in the house. Short walk to beach access, beautiful view of water and the mokes. Covered lanai was perfect for am coffee and reading!! Just loved it here!

My husband and I stayed for a week for our belated honeymoon. The property was absolutely magical. We watched the sunrise qith our coffee every morning, sat on the lanai enjoying the breeze and the sounds of tropical birds, and took breathtaking hikes and walks from the property. We will return as soon as we can!

Perfect place to stay!

This property is well appointed and has breathtaking views. We were so happy here. The only thing I could recommend is wine glasses!

I was disappointed the porch offered almost no view. Standing in one area of the bedroom, the view was magnificent.. The house is dated. It was not very safe. The driveway is very steep as are the stairs. As my husband was packing the last morning he had quite a fall so know that without inadequate and non working lighting and limited handrail, you must be diligent. Location and beach access were awesome.

We had a great time. The property is very close to the beach.

Enjoyed to leisurely walks to the beach every day! Clean and comfortable.

We loved the location - clean place, comfortable bed, great deck, etc. Positive stuff is for real. We did have some issues that the owners or management company need attend to: The Webber bbq is dangerous. The new handle that was welded on conducts heat in a serious way. Not good choice of materials for a DIY fix. Also, we were given just 1 roll of TP and had to buy bbq briquettes that would light. That was definitely a bummer. You gave use the wrong WIFI code in the email. Lucky, we found a faded wifi password on the fridge that worked. Bikes are a bit unsafe (rust). I did use and love the rust bucket, however. Seats wobble. The tires were flat. Chains have not seen oil since the 80s. How about a real coffee maker or at least a plastic solo coffee filter holder? Appliances are old and give the space a kind of old feel (otherwise, we loved it). The Keurigs or whatever did not work. It was indicated that we had access to our own beach chairs. Other guests in other units decided to access them instead. Maybe clarify boundaries? Directions to the specific unit would have been helpful at 2am arrival (we went up the steps, not the driveway, and did not realize the door was to south). Hopefully, these notes will go some way in turning a great place into a safe, fabulous place.

Overall this home is in a nice location in the beachside community of Lanikai. The deck is nice and has a good partial view of the ocean and lush surroundings. We had a few issues but overall we had an okay stay. Unfortunately, even after communicating with the manager twice, we weren’t ever able to get hot water to the home. Cold showers were invigorating but not that desirable, especially with kids. The screens and home generally do not keep out pests such as spiders, ants, lizards, etc. There was only one towel when we arrived but we were able to access 1-2 more in the garage bins. Overall nothing that was insufferable, just not in keeping with the other places we’ve stayed in Kailua.

We enjoyed everything this property had to offer. Short walk to the most beautiful beach, views from the lanai, well decorated interior, clean. Mahalo!

We loved this location in Lanikai. It was super quiet, has a huge lanai and spectacular views! The house was very clean and had all the amenities we needed. The beds were both comfortable and there's a great breeze from the open windows. There are a lot of steps. And there's no stove, but an electric frying pan. Highly recommend!

Super charming decor. Loved it. Wish we could have stayed longer

It was a good experience. Only suggestion is to mention the amount of stairs. We were unable to have family visit due to the number of stairs.

Stayed here with my 3 adult children. Wonderful place, clean, decorated lovely. Loved the outdoor deck for relaxing and visiting with a cup of coffee in the morning or a cocktail at night. Walking distance to Lanikai beach. Only downfall, according to my one daughter, there is no air conditioning. However, depending upon the time of year, you can live without it and enjoy the Hawaiian air and trade winds. We would stay there again.

Such a beautiful place and easy walk to one of the most beautiful beaches on the island. Mimi was very responsive and nice. A great artist as well! Thanks so much we hope to stay again sometime.

My wife and I were absolutely thrilled with this listing. From start to finish, our host Mimi made us feel absolutely welcomed. She will give you as much privacy as you desire yet simultaneously is available to check in on you for any need that might arise. She is incredibly attentive, and is a very warm and pleasant lady to deal with. Now for the actual property itself - we were perfectly comfortable with the beds and we love the rustic Island interior. I think there is actual lava rock in the wall and the kitchen counters are made with real rainforest marble. The bathroom is perfectly decent and we really like the rain model shower head. My wife and I made full use of the kitchen and the incredible balcony everyday. We thoroughly enjoyed cooking breakfast and you will find everything you need here between a toaster, coffee maker, electric skillet and mini oven. We looked forward to sitting outside every single day and looking out at the ocean. And then of course, there is the obvious - access to the most coveted beach in all of Oahu. You can probably get to the sand in less than 5 minutes while hauling Beach chairs, a beach tent, and supplies for the day. No need to worry about parking! It really was everything we hoped it would be and more. Thanks to this listing, this has been far and above the best trip I have ever had to Hawaii. We don't plan to stay anywhere else the next time we come to Oahu!

Stayed for 3 nights, very clean and very close to Lanikai beach. Awesome spot. Outside beach showers were great! Birds wake you up in thr morning with the sunrise. Would stay again.
