Viewhouse in Lanikai BEST LOCATION , LANIKAI NUC 90/BB -0108

Only a 5 min Walk to Lanikai beach!! No pets firm. As of 7/2022 new high speed Wi-Fi! Welcome to the Viewhouse in Lanikai! We have owned this home since 2003 and we are thrilled to share our piece of paradise with you. Everyone should experience the Hawaiian lifestyle. We have guests from all over the world return year after year. Several guests have returned over 16 times!!! The Viewhouse has the BEST VIEW in the Best neighborhood and is one of the few licensed, LEGAL vacation rentals in Lanikai. The home is situated mountainside overlooking the ocean and is on the main street in Lanikai so it is just a short easy walk to the best beaches on Oahu- Kailua and Lanikai Beach! Up high for a view and street level for easy access. Take advantage of the use of beach chairs, umbrellas, and bikes. The house has been beautifully renovated with Bamboo wood floors and marble countertops. The Viewhouse has the BEST VIEW in the Best neighborhood on the BEST BEACH. Thank you for considering our property. Picking the place that is perfect for a Hawaiian vacation can be difficult. Here are a few things that set us apart from the others.
We have owned, renovated, and carefully maintained this home since 2003. This is more than a business for us. The Viewhouse is a very special piece of paradise that everyone should have the opportunity to experience! Everyone can experience the local Hawaiian lifestyle—in just a week or two. We have guests from all over the world return year after year. And this place is one of the few licensed vacation rentals in Lanikai! The home is situated on the side of a mountain overlooking the ocean and is on the main street in Lanikai. It is just a short easy walk to the best beach on Oahu. Take advantage of the use of beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, snorkel gear, and bikes. The house has bamboo wood floors and marble countertops making this tropical oasis the perfect comfortable and upscale place to experience paradise like a local. It is meticulously clean, well maintained, and beautiful. Completely private large lanai (balcony) overlooks the Pacific Ocean and the Mokulua Islands. The lanai has an oversized outdoor sofa undercover for napping or reading and a table for four and a charcoal BBQ grill.
When you arrive at the house there is convenient off-street parking and one flight of steps to get to the Viewhouse level (first floor) of the house. The Viewhouse is private and does not share entryways or bathrooms with the rest of the home. It includes a one-bedroom with a queen bed with an ADDITIONAL second bed a queen murphy bed in the living area (TWO QUEEN BEDS) , one bathroom with shower, the private kitchen includes a full-size fridge, dishwasher, convection plate, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, etc. The entire first floor of this beautiful estate is yours to enjoy. You'll spend most of your time on the spacious covered outdoor lanai. Other amenities include hand-stitched Hawaiian heirloom quilts, elephant bamboo furniture, large flat-screen TV, and wireless Internet. The home is located on the coveted Lanikai loop—a two and a half-mile street that circles around with cut-through streets along each block. It is great for morning walks and the beach is1.5 blocks away.
Charming Kailua town is a bike ride away. I recommend coffee and breakfast at Kalapawai market, Farmer's markets on Thursday night and Sunday mornings, Buzz's steak house, and local shopping!

Lovely location
The best part of the vacation was the beach which was very close and great for swimming and just enjoying. The lower level apartment was comfortable and well appointed and close to the beach where we could watch amazing sunrises and full moon rise. The lanai was spacious and had good views. The apartment had many fans and a wall of windows to compensate for lack of cross ventilation. The

Great stay for Mom/Sisters trip
We really enjoyed the Viewhouse and all it had to offer! The balcony views were unreal and we spent lots of time there. It was great to have access to beach items and laundry as we used both several times! The location to the beach was really lovely and restaurants/stores were a quick 10-15 minute drive away. Would stay here again!

Lovely view!
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.
