Quiet property, well appointed room with snacks and breakfast items. Extras for beach or picnics or hiking like beach chairs and small cooler. Easy walk to beach access. Easy checkin/checkout. Read the host instructions about parking!
I was convinced by the previous reviews and ratings that this place would be great. Unfortunately, it is now a bait and switch. They will assign you whatever room they want to each guest. And given the cancelation policy, you will be stuck with it. A two room suite with hot tub is the same cost as the studios, and guests have no control over which room they are assigned. Also, there is no breakfast. You will not be greeted by anyone, just given different phone numbers of people to contact if you need anything. It's not a bed and breakfast at all.
A great stay, beautiful location and reasonable price. It was quiet and private. The owner was very responsive to a request for more pillows. The decor is alittle dated but not in a distracting way. All in all, a great place to stay!
This place is so cute and quiet. After a long day playing tourist it was so nice to come back to this clean, quiet studio. The extra touches were great. Waking up to the birds every morning was so special. I love this place.
Lanikai is truly one of the most beautiful places on Earth, and Hawai'i's Hidden Hideaway and its host, Janice, are absolute treasures. We definitely plan on returning, and would recommend this property to anyone wanting a peaceful and private stay within walking distance of one of the top beaches in the world, and easy access to all the inland and coastal sights on O'ahu.
We wanted to stay in Kailua because of Lanikai beach and this was just a short walk awayâso 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 wasnât 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.
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.
The owner puts a lot of thought and effort into all the little special things that make a stay special. Local fruits, snacks, baked goods make for a nice extra touch. Great location.
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.
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!
Janice, the host, thought of all the little necessities. We basically needed our clothes. We were there for a quiet get away and that is exactly what we got. Very serene!
Hawaiis Hidden Hideaway is a real gem! Clean, comfortable and with every amenity you can think of to make your stay as comfortable as your home. We found our suite to be so relaxing and quiet and our host was a wealth of information and an inspiration to boot! We will definitely be back. Thank you Janice!
From the outside it is just like the pictures . The inside is a different matter . Itâs is dirty outdated and cluttered . Itâs also infested with bugs and mosquitoes. I received 9 bites within 24 hours , and I have an allergy to bites so Iâm still dealing with the aftermath. The host is extremely slow to respond insists on communicating via email or landline phone which she never answers and takes 24 hours plus to respond . Also the stirs going to the studio are a death trap rocks and uneven edges that she waters at night and in the am itâs a slip and fall nightmare .We received a refund - however that does not begin to compensate for the bites , we checked out 3 days early and moved to a clean hotel.
Great location. Many extra treats. Online said hot tub, and kitchen. Hot plate, toaster, coffee maker, refrigerator. Bathroom sink for washing dishes. No hot tub.
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.
