Wonderful house
My wife and I, along with our teen daughter and senior parents thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Perfect location. One minute walk to the beach. Easy to navigate for everything! Pool was awesome. The furniture in the common areas are not comfortable and that it the only negative I can write. Everything else was the best!! Thank you for opening up your home to us. We would definitely stay here again.

Some Improvements
The location to Kailua Beach is the greatest thing.
Some things could be improved.
1 The outdoor mat by the sliding doors to the house sits in a low spot. When it rains or when the sprinkler runs, the mat stays wet. A wet mat means wet feet when you enter the house. That mat should be raised on something so it can stay dry.
2 All the mats throughout the house should be taken outside and shook before each stay so that sand and debris are not in the mats.
3 You should put ArmorAll on the outside of the Pull-Down Hose for the kitchen sink. It will make it slide in and out easy.

Hawaiian comfort
Lihikai House epitomizes the old Hawaiian comfort with modern amenities. Comfortable beds, nice kitchen with all of the tools one might need, AC if one needs it, and a lovely pool for those of us who are ancient and can no longer walk the beach comfortably. For the two of us who were raised in Kailua and Lanikai many years ago, it was the perfect place to start our trip down memory lane.

This location couldn't be better - just steps to magnificent Kailua Beach and on a quiet cul de sac.. The lovely pool was a bonus. The house is spacious, comfortable and bright. Some updating of kitchen and bathrooms might be considered. The beautiful yard is so large, it could accommodate an additional outdoor seating area which would make this rental perfect.

Location, Location, Location!
The house was beautifully decorated, although the furniture was uncomfortable. It was well supplied with all that we needed for our family. The pool was perfect and the yard was beautiful and well maintained.
The beach was within steps and my family loved the beach and the little market close by. They went there for coffee and breakfast often during our stay.
I rated the check-in with 4 stars only because the old fashioned lock boxes used there made locking and unlocking the doors much more difficult than necessary. A simple keyless lock that can have the code changed for each new group of guests would be much easier for check-in and for daily use.
Overall, we loved our stay and would definitely rent again if we all return.

Kailua Beach and town worth staying
We had a family get together ... weather did not co-operate first few days (Rain & Clouds). Walk is 5 minutes to beach out of Cul-de-sac to public access entrance. Nice beach - gets morning sun. House is larger than pictures indicate, great house with all amenities including beach toys, chairs etc. Pool not heated so it was chilly due to the weather. Town center is 5 minute drive, not really walkable. Lots of restaurants, groceries etc. Enterprise Car Rental in town. Half hour drive to Honolulu. Near house is Buzz's Steak House and a pizza joint (Bob's). Worth the stay.

Fabulous House
We had a great time- the house is very conveniently located to the beach= easy walk and then it was nice to come home to the pool.
Loved the outdoor shower. The Market and snow cone place right down the street was very convenient. The house had a great family room dining room area. We loved the Kalapawai Cafe and Deli in town and Cinnamon's Restaurant which we walked to. In Honolulu we went to Tanaka's which was good too. Will definitely want to return to enjoy this great house. Aloha!

KAILUA PERFECT GETAWAY
This property is amazing and has plenty of room for 8 people. There is a beautiful backyard, amazing pool, and a detached room off the pool making it private from the rest of the house. This property is steps from the beautiful beach of Kailua, and wishing walking distance of Buzz's steak house and the general market. We really enjoyed our stay and John was very communicative and welcoming. Its exactly what we were looking for to relax and step back from life. thank you John!

Great House in quiet neighborhood
We LOVED this house. Open floor plan. Beds were comfortable. Beach was just steps away. We woke up and walked the beach at sunrise everyday. There were 7 of us and it did not feel too crowded. I had to work in the mornings on video calls and my oldest son had college classes and the internet worked great even with us both on at the same time. Pool was perfect with a big back yard. If you have young kids or are looking for a quite get away this is the perfect spot. Loved that there were games and puzzles already at the house and we did most of the hikes suggested by the owner. We would definitely come back and stay here again

Perfect location and great amenities
We were thrilled with this rental! We are so glad we found this very clean, well-appointed home that's just a two-minute walk from the beach. We found everything we needed to make us feel at home in Hawaii, including beach equipment, a fully loaded kitchen, and very comfy beds. Our kids especially loved a few of the card games we found! The pool was clean and refreshing. The outside shower is such a smart addition to keep sand from getting in the house.
We loved that we were centrally located to downtown Kailua Town - getting groceries or dining out was just a short drive away. We can't wait to visit again!

My husband and I and our two adult children stayed here for one week, and it was absolutely perfect! The House location is spectacular, just minutes from one of the most beautiful beaches that we have been to in all the Hawaiian islands. During the weekdays it was never busy. We also loved the location of the house as we made day trips every day and it was an easy drive to everywhere. Regarding the house, it was spectacular. Very private and quiet with every amenity you needed. I would highly recommend staying at this little patch of paradise.

Amazing location and comfort in Kailua
We spent a month at this property and loved every moment. We are a family of five (8, 15, 18) and had our moms come to visit and there was plenty of room to spread out. I kitesurf so the location couldn’t be any better. The beach is very easy to access and we spent most of our time playing there, talking long walks, and goofing around. Town and all its restaurants and shops are just a short three minutes. But if you need a quick sandwich, shave ice, pizza, or milk, you can walk to the market just around the corner. The fans, AC, and pool were lifesavers on hot days. The place is very clean and is as pictured and described. John the caretaker was super helpful and very responsive. HIGHLY recommend this place!!

Amazing location, great setup for multiple families
The area of Kailua is a gem in Oahu. You're about 30 minutes from Honolulu, but you've got access to great beaches (access a few houses away), a super short walk to a little grocery store for essentials and quick access to restaurants, Whole Foods, etc. If we were going to live in Oahu we'd probably start looking Kailua. However, if you are looking for shopping, nightlife, and crowds you'd probably be happier in Honolulu.
The house itself is bigger than it appears in the pictures. It was a perfect setup for our family of four (mom, dad, and two young children who shared a bed), and two sets of grandparents. There are two master suites with great separation so no one feels like they are stepping on each other. It would work great for two small families who want to share a single house (or a group of friends).
The house is definitely older and is showing it's age in some places. However, none of that actually affects you. I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

Loved!
My extended family and I rented the house for 2 weeks. Everything was there that you would need - the kitchen cabinets were labeled with its contents. We really were steps from the beach and the beach was very private. The house is located within walking distance of a market (where they have everything from sandwiches to t-shirts), the kids walked to island snow for snow cones, and there's BBQ and pizza there too. Any small issues we had were taken care of quickly (the TV in the Master needed a cable box and John had one overnighted). We loved the proximity to everything; pretty much 30 mins within anything you'd like to see. We didn't see a clothes line which would be nice for wet bathing suits -- but with that view we didn't mind.
