Sweet Vintage Hawaiian Cottage and Guest House! Great deal in beautiful Lanikai!


At Old Hawaii Beach House and Guest Cottage in Lanikai, we extend to all our guests the old-fashioned Hawaiian Hospitality, and the famous Spirit of Aloha.

Step back in time to the romance, the charm, that is truly 'Old Hawaii.'

Tropical plants and flowers (seasonal) in the 12,000 square foot lot. Ceiling fans add to the aura of Old Hawaii. This treasure is available for you to enjoy.

You can relax on this heavenly tropical beach, or on the lanai overlooking the expansive grassy lawn. Listen to the soft music of the trade winds in the coconut palms. Enjoy nostalgic Lanikai, as it was since time immemorial before the rest of the world discovered it.

This beach hale was built by our family in 1931. It is an authentic cottage home, located on prestigious Mokulua Drive, offering the comfort and ambiance of Old Hawaii, but with all the modern conveniences, including air conditioning in the bedrooms and living room, and WiFi for your Internet connection.

There are two bedrooms in the main hale and a full bathroom. The detached cottage has air conditioning, a half bathroom and a private outdoor garden shower with hot and cold water, which is a favorite, included in the rental. There are two outdoor dining areas.

There is a stove, a refrigerator/freezer, a microwave oven, and a washer and dryer.

This is a family-friendly, kid-friendly home.

You will be located a short walk from beautiful Lanikai beach, named the best beach in the world by the Travel TV Channel.

This property is 30 day /monthly rental. Rental prices will not be reduced or adjusted based on the number of days the rental is actually used or occupied.

Idyllic!

This cottage is a true vintage gem set far back from the road in its own large garden with the hills as a backdrop and steps from two less busy access points to the turquoise waters of Lanikai. Plenty of parking and everything you need in the well stocked kitchen. The house and guesthouse at the back were lovely and we had plenty of room for everyone to be together and yet have their own space as well. We really felt relaxed and at home here. The house has been treated with loving care to preserve its character features, and there was a real feeling of ohana. Truly a memorable vacation.

Historic Lanikai cottage

Best VRBO I’ve ever stayed at. Cutest cottage in the best neighborhood. Very clean, and quiet. Completely stocked with everything from beach towels to nail polish remover! Neighbor Michelle was the best, always available if needed. Never felt more comfortable! Not to mention beach access across the street. Would love to return

Perfect plcae for us

As past residents of Kailua we know the area and island life: and this place was wonderful! Low traffic beach access 1 minute away and large yard for the kids to play. House was clean and big enough for our family of 5. We had a great time and hope to come again!

Away from the crowds

Our family of 4 had a wonderful month-long stay here. We enjoyed the spacious yard, backyard bbq and outdoor shower, and short walks to the various beaches along the road. I used the back cottage as an office space. It's certainly not the most luxurious option in the neighborhood, but an old-school, authentic, value that will be hard to beat.

Simply wonderful

This is a magical place with a wonderful history. The family has owned this sweet home from the beginning... over several generations, and there is a lot of love here. It is not a place for those who prefer sterile, modern, sleek accommodations. If you love a building with soul, a place that’s age gives it charm and character, a place where your family can share happy memories together, you’ve found it! We loved relaxing as a family on the patio, in the living room, at the dining table, in the yard. It’s quite serene and an experience you won’t forget. The family that owns the property is incredibly kind and thoughtfully communicated with us during the booking process and our stay. The next door neighbors are there for anything you may need as well. We had an issue with the blender for example, and after mentioning it had a new one delivered in less than a day! If you’re lucky enough to find an open month- book it! We couldn’t be happier that we did and will cherish the memories we made together as a family during our brief month there.

Paradise

This adorable home is in an incredible location across from the most beautiful beach. It’s the perfect place for families, our 6 and 8 year old had the best time playing in and exploring the massive yard. The owners and house manger are so kind and attentive.

Comfortable, homey, spacious for family of 3

Owners were incredibly accommodating and gracious with us in many ways during our four-month stay, July-October 2019. Cal-King bed in master bedroom was comfortable (we did not personally use the other beds); separate ohana house was perfect for guests; outdoor shower is roomy and private with lots of shelving; just enough space in the smaller bedroom to fit a pack n play crib along the window wall; kitchen is fully stocked with all the basics; laundry machines work great; mud room is extremely helpful to keep the sand out! The interior window between the mudroom and smaller bedroom is stuck open, so in order to use the AC unit in that bedroom we had to put cardboard over that window as a makeshift climate seal. With this small change, window AC units will cool the master BR, smaller BR, ohana house, living/dining room, and even the bathroom if you arrange the doors in a certain configuration. Kitchen and mudroom are not cooled. Ocean kayaks are really fun, and it's a perfect location for using them-- less than 5 minutes walking door-to-waves from two different access beaches. The neighborhood is quiet and great for taking walks. It is well-removed from commercial activity, but does get traffic from beach-goers and hikers (Lanikai Pillbox Hike is beautiful!). We would happily stay here again in the future!
