Thank you so much for our incredible stay here in Oahu. We truly had the vacation of a lifetime & felt as if we had a genuine island experience. The accommodations were wonderful!

Although we do feel an immense amount of sorrow on our last day because we really do not want to leave!

We pray you all will stay safe & that you all will continue to have great guests.

If you are ever in Knoxville, TN, and need a place to stay, let us know. Thank you for sharing us the aloha way!

We stayed in Honolulu first. Won’t do that again but would love to stay at this property again. The only surprise was that when the tide comes in your beach is underwater. Other than that, it’s a dream. Loved the place, the neighborhood, and the small, crowded beach. The owners were lovely as well.

Wonderful Rental

by Brian

This rental really is special. We couldn’t have asked for a better spot. I’ve been to Oahu a few times but it was my partner’s first. He’s not too into the commercial part of Waikiki so we were looking for something a little quieter. This place was a perfect choice.

The hosts were incredibly kind and responsive - very attentive without ever being overbearing. The location is just across from Lanikai Beach which is one of the most beautiful beaches I’ve seen (and I’ve seen quite a few). I wish I could post pictures to show just how beautiful it was.

The unit is a studio next to the main house. It was very cutely decorated, had a kitchen stocked with all the things you’d need, and a private little garden area that was private and serene. The AC and internet worked great with no issues.

The town of Kailua has a lot of charming boutiques and eateries nearby. There are great hiking trails nearby and you can kayak to the small islands off shore.

All in all, we absolutely loved our stay. Would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to be a repeat visitor ourselves.

The studio is comfortable, provides lots of light and privacy, and has everything you need. It’s the perfect location in Lanikai, with short walks to the beach and the pillbox hike, and a quick drive to Kailua. Rick and Nini are great hosts. Thank you for sharing your beautiful space!

A week in paradise

by Teresa Hurley

5 out of 5 stars

This little gem of a vacation rental was even better than we had hoped. Though it is suite-style, there was plenty of room for the two of us. Comfortable bed, nice seating area, functional kitchen, and immaculate throughout. We enjoyed the beautiful lanai for morning coffee and evening drinks while watching the happy little geckos. Lanikai beach is simply indescribably gorgeous, and just a short walk to the beach. We spent most of every day on the powdery sand by the aquamarine water. Breathtaking! The town of Kailua has grown a lot since we were last in the area, but lots of places to buy groceries and go out to dinner. We had dinner at Buzz’s Steakhouse (reservations recommended) and at the Maui Brewing Co., both good meals and friendly staff, and we ordered takeout pizza one night. But most meals I cooked on the hot plate or microwave in the little kitchen. Our hosts Rick and Nini were super nice and very accommodating but never intrusive. Great people. We really didn’t want to leave this place. Hopefully, we’ll return someday soon. Thank you for sharing this little piece of paradise with us!

This property is wonderful for many reasons. First, it’s in Lanikai which we learned was a beautiful side of Oahu that is very private and quiet. The property is steps from the beach. We enjoyed going each morning to watch the sunrise and at night for sunsets. It’s easy to access hiking, restaurants, and downtown Kailua. Rick and Nini are very kind and there to make sure we had what we needed. The studio itself has everything you need in the bathroom and kitchen. A private backyard with a table surrounded by bamboo trees to enjoy a little tropical coffee talk, which we did. We just can’t say enough about our stay. We can’t wait to go back. Thank you both!

Lanikai Garden Studio – Wonderful place to stay!

by Theresa Caldwell

06/28/2018

5 out of 5 stars

My stay at the Lanikai Garden Studio was wonderful. It was very private so I could have the glass doors open and hear the birds and the breeze. I felt like I was in my own private garden.

I am usually one that brings my Clorox wipes and wipes everything down, but it was so clean that I felt comfortable right away. I am also not a fan of bugs and did not see a single one, so I was thrilled!!

Everything I needed was there - beach towels and umbrellas and I was set. There was coffee, fruit and some cookies when I got there, so I had some snacks before I could get to the grocery store.

I was in town to spread my Mother’s ashes and have a small memorial on the beach. Nini and Rick gave me a suggestion for the minister and she was wonderful. They know Kailua so well which was very helpful since I have been gone for so long.

Thank you Nini and Rick for everything! I’ll be back with my husband in a few years and look forward to staying here again!

Great Lanikai Garden Studio

by Annie V

The Lanikai Garden Studio is located in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance to the beach and to a fun hiking trail, Lanikai Pillbox Hike. This hike has great views of the windward side of Oahu including the Mokulua Islands. The garden studio came with beach towels and chairs for a great morning at Kailua Beach just down the road. Don't forget to stop at nearby Kalapawai Market! The kitchen was well-stocked with coffee, coffee maker, tea kettle, toaster, etc. The quaint patio with table and chairs was a great place to spot hikers on the Pillbox Trail! Rick and his wife are very pleasant and helpful. We enjoyed our stay very much 🙂
