BEST LICENSED LOCATION
The VIEWHOUSE LANIKAI
Aalapapa 43005029, 07018,10701878
Only a 5-minute walk to world-famous Lanikai Beach! One of the few legal nightly rentals
Welcome to the Viewhouse in Lanikai. Our family has owned, renovated, and lovingly maintained and lived on this special property since 2003, and we are delighted to share our piece of paradise with guests from around the world. Many of our visitors return year after year, and several have stayed with us more than 20 times.
The Viewhouse is one of the few licensed and legal vacation rentals in Lanikai, one of Oahu's most sought-after beach communities. Perched on the mountainside above Lanikai, the home enjoys sweeping ocean views of the Pacific and the Mokulua Islands while still being just a short, easy walk to both Lanikai Beach and Kailua Beach.
Unlike many vacation rentals, the Viewhouse offers the best of both worlds: elevated views and convenient access. The property sits along the main road in Lanikai, making it easy to explore the neighborhood, beaches, hiking trails, and nearby Kailua Town.
THE SPACE
The Viewhouse occupies the entire first level of this beautiful three-story estate and is completely private. Guests do not share entrances, bathrooms, or living spaces with the other levels of the home.
The unit includes:
• One bedroom with a queen bed • One queen Murphy bed in the living area (2 queen beds total) • One full bathroom with shower • Fully equipped kitchen with full-size refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, convection cooktop, toaster, coffee maker, cookware, dishes, and utensils • High-speed Wi-Fi • Flat-screen television • Private washer and dryer located on driveway level • Pack-and-Play
The home features beautiful bamboo flooring, marble countertops, Hawaiian heirloom quilts, and custom island furnishings that create a comfortable and authentic Hawaiian atmosphere.
OUTDOOR LIVING
One of the highlights of the Viewhouse is the spacious covered lanai overlooking the ocean and the Mokulua Islands. Guests often spend most of their time here enjoying morning coffee, reading, dining outdoors, or simply relaxing while enjoying the trade winds and spectacular views.
The lanai features:
• Large covered outdoor sofa • Dining table • Private charcoal BBQ grill • Ocean and island views and an additional outdoor shower
BEACH & RECREATION AMENITIES
Guests are welcome to use the beach and recreation equipment stored in the garage, including:
Whether you're heading to the beach, exploring Kailua, or paddling offshore, you'll have everything you need for an unforgettable stay.
ACCESS & STAIRS
Guests enter the property from the front of the home using the brick steps and wooden staircase leading to the first-level entrance.
Please note that stairs are required to access the Viewhouse. While the unit is considered the first level of the home, it is elevated above street level and requires one flight of stairs from the parking area.
NEIGHBORHOOD
Lanikai is widely considered one of the most beautiful beach communities in Hawaii. The neighborhood is known for its quiet residential character, stunning turquoise water, offshore islands, and year-round trade winds.
The famous Lanikai Loop is approximately 2.5 miles around and is perfect for morning walks, jogging, or biking. The beach is approximately 1.5 blocks away.
Nearby favorites include:
• Thursday evening and Sunday morning Farmers Markets • Kailua Town shopping and restaurants • Kalapawai Market for breakfast and coffee • Buzz's Steakhouse • Local boutiques and shops • Kailua Beach Park
EXPLORE OAHU
The Viewhouse is perfectly located for exploring the entire island. Popular day trips include:
• Lanikai Pillbox Hike • Diamond Head • Manoa Falls • Valley of the Temples • Botanical Gardens • Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona Memorial • Makapu'u Lookout and the famous "Whale Hole" • Hawaii Kai coastal drive • North Shore beaches and Haleiwa Town • Polynesian Cultural Center • Waikiki dining and shopping
For sunset cocktails, oceanfront dining, and live Hawaiian music and hula performances, many guests enjoy visiting Duke's Waikiki, the Moana Surfrider, and the Halekulani.
A NOTE ABOUT HAWAII
Many visitors are surprised to learn that most homes in Lanikai do not have air conditioning. Thanks to the steady trade winds that flow through the neighborhood year-round, air conditioning is generally unnecessary, and guests find the natural ocean breezes very comfortable.
Winter on Oahu remains warm and pleasant, though the North Shore experiences its famous large surf season from approximately December through March.
HOUSE RULES
• No pets. No exceptions. • No smoking anywhere on the property. • Registered guests only. • Please respect our quiet residential neighborhood.
Thank you for considering the Viewhouse in Lanikai. We hope you'll experience the beauty, relaxation, and aloha spirit that have brought so many guests back year after year.n
