We wanted a quiet area in Oahu, away from the crowds of Waikiki. The Lanikai/Kailua area was a great place to stay that wasn’t too far away from Honolulu when we had activities there. This studio is in a quiet residential neighborhood. The studio itself is a bit dated, but it’s a quaint place. Janice, the homeowner, personalized some nice details, which was really nice. Breakfast baked goods, fruit, and snacks lasted us for most of the week. It was an enjoyable stay on Oahu.

A short walk to amazing sunrises every morning followed by hours of sunshine and walks in calm clear water along the shoreline taking in the breathtaking scenery with nearly not a soul in sight.

Perfect place to stay in Kailua!

We wanted to stay in Kailua because of Lanikai beach and this was just a short walk away—so perfect!! The place was super cute, we got the room with the hot tub and we got a lot of use out of it!! Also, I wasn’t expecting the amount of snacks, drinks, and breakfast items in our unit when we arrived! It was super generous and delicious stuff!!! Thank you very much for the wonderful place to stay.

Lovely studio!

The location is incredible, just a short walk to beautiful Lanikai beach! There was a bit of confusion about which place we were staying in but once we were there it was clear. We were in a studio with twin beds and a small kitchenette. there was a nice sitting area for breakfast. Our lovely host Janice provided everything we needed for our beach outings and more food than we could eat! A big thank you to Janice!

end of trip

Could not have asked for a better location! We typically begin our holidays in busier island areas then end somewhere more relaxed. This BnB worked great for us. The breakfasts made it possible for us to get our days started early. And the beach equipment was appreciated and in really good condition. Even without the tradewinds, we didn't need the a/c, fans kept us comfortable.

Lanikai Hideaway

A fabulous location - close to beach, golf courses, activities/adventures, restaurants and more. Our accommodations included a private hot tub on a deck with wonderful landscaping, sun and coastal breeze that created a wonderful ambiance. Janice, the B&B host provided an abundance of goodies and personalized treats. The kitchenette was well equipped and the bedroom and bathroom spacious and accurately described.

Great Place for Two

This was a great location as we rented a car for the week and toured most parts of the island. Having local restaurants, grocery store, Target, etc. nearby was a big benefit. The place is small, but we didn't have the need to stay inside except to sleep and shower. The patio was very relaxing. The host lives on the property and was very attentive to any needs we had.

the hidden hideaway

The property is truly hidden and beautiful. Janice the host is an expert at what she is doing. The beech (3) blocks away is stunning and picture perfect. The bed in the suite is extreamly comfortable and the private hot tub is crystal clear and truly hot (its adjustable). All in all a relaxing stay.

Beautiful spot

Perfect spot in Kailua. The pictures were a little misleading though. Made it seem like we were getting two separate rooms or two queen size beds but that was not the case. We got one room with two twin beds. My brother and I didn’t mind a bit though! They wrote sweet welcome cards and supplied us with pastries and fresh fruit! We walked to the beach every morning to see an amazing view! It was truly wonderful!

Staying Paradise

Lanikai is definitely a piece of paradise and we are so grateful that we found an affordable place to stay there. The location of the Hidden Hideaway was perfect, with an easy walk to the beach and drive into town. The accommodations were comfortable. We really enjoyed our private second floor patio and sat out there for hours every evening. There was also a jacuzzi spa on it. We were surprised by the amount of delicious fruit, pastries and snacks Janice provided. It was all delicious, and very much appreciated.
