Very well-appointed cottage, everything was wonderful. Kate is very easy to communicate with, and the location was perfect. Short walk to the most beautiful beach. Chairs and cooler made our day perfect. Very close to town, just a short drive. Highly recommend.
As an active senior couple, we wanted a place close to the sand and with plenty of places to walk. We found it - at Lanikai Plumeria Beach Cottage! The cottage is so close to Lanikai beach, we would grab a spot in the shade to relax and read, and be able to go back and forth to the cottage for snacks and supplies. We walked the loop of homes in Lanikai many times and also nearby Kailua beach. In the morning we woke to beautiful bird songs and had coffee in the courtyard. The stars were beautiful at night and the neighborhood is very quiet. Kate and Dan are super hosts and made sure we had everything we needed! We found great restaurants nearby, including Buzz's steak house - it is about a 20 minute walk from the cottage! We relaxed, swam, walked and enjoyed every minute :)
We spent six nights at the Lanikai Plumeria Beach Cottage. Yes, there really are Plumerias outside the window! Our stay was wonderful. Katie is an excellent host. Her communications are attentive, clear and helpful. The cottage is well-designed, equipped and furnished. It's very comfortable, compact and the photos accurately represent what you are renting. Perfect for one or two people. We will definitely stay again when our travels take us to Oahu!
It was the perfect quaint cottage for my husband and me in the perfect quiet location that was a quick 5 minute walk to Lanikai Beach and easy access to everything all over the island. It was a half mile walk to the pillbox hike. We will stay there again.
Great place to stay that is away from busy Waikiki and Honolulu. Location is a 4 minute walk to the gorgeous beach. Kate is a phenomenal host. The cottage is well equipped with a comfy bed and spacious bathroom. Friendly suggestion, try Bobâs Pizza in town and travel a bit for Matsumoto Shaved Ice.
We had a wonderful stay at this property. It was clean, quiet and located in a safe area. The beach was less than a 5 minute walk away which allowed us to watch the sunrise each day. Thank you Kate for being a great host.
Amazing location (<5 min walk to the beach, 5 min drive into Kailua - cutest little town!!), perfectly clean cottage with everything you could need, including beach chairs and snorkel gear. Although the cottage is on Kate and Dan's property, it was incredibly private with our own private yard/patio. Bed was incredibly comfortable. I'm a picky gal when it comes to hotels/VRBOs and we honestly couldn't have been happier with our stay.
The cottage is well laid out, beautifully maintained and spotlessly clean. We loved the location in a quiet neighborhood just a short walking distance from Lanikai beach. It was very well equipped with everything we might need in the cottage and at the beach. Kate was excellent communicating us. We could not have had a better experience.
Perfect accommodations for a relaxing getaway. We thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful cottage and the private little yard with it's lush vegetation. We walked to the beach and to Lanikai Pillbox for a daily hike. The area is gorgeous with everything we needed. We went kayaking which was a highlight and easily organized. There were restaurants within a short drive and we found several outdoor markets while we were there. The beaches were spectacular. Kate was amazing and the cottage is beautifully appointed. I hope to return and I would absolutely recommend this cottage.
Beautiful spot in small village. Quiet cottage with pleasant vibe and all amenities we needed. Very private. 5minute walk to gorgeous beach, short drive to dinner and stores, easy access to hikes and island sites. Would return again and again!
we loved our stay in Lanikai! the location is just perfect, the Cottage was beyond beautiful and cozy, we had absolutely no problem finding it when we arrived and our host Kate was just the sweeties host we could ever asked for. she kept in touch with us at every step of the way so we knew we were in good hands! she immediately greeted us upon arrival and explained everything that was to know about the Cottage and the neighborhood as well! definitely will book here again!
We stayed here for our Honeymoon. We couldn't have asked for a better hostess or place to stay. Super clean and everything was decorated so cute inside. Kate has literally thought of everything you'll need. Hands down the best part of the island to stay on if you want a relaxing retreat without chaos. It's a very short walk to the beach which was somewhat secluded an serene. Make sure you eat at Buzz's nearby (our favorite place to eat). We were there for close to a week and packed it in! We were able to go all over the island and explore in that amount of time. We would definitely stay there again! I'm not kidding when I say it's the perfect spot to stay! Many wonderful memories made!
The Lanikai cottage was perfect for our purposes, especially with its easy proximity to such a beautiful beach in such a lovely local neighborhood! We felt very welcome and at home, and even though the cottage is on the homeowner's property, we had privacy and a feeling of belonging. We loved being able to sit outside in the little garden area, especially to eat our breakfast in the mornings, and it was really wonderful being able to walk a block to the beach and not have to worry about parking. The cotttage is very well appointed, and Kate made sure we had everything we needed. We would definitely go back!
Kate is a wonderful host and her place is perfect. Beautiful accommodations with everything you need. And a short walk to one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Our stay could not have been more perfect and relaxing. Mahalo Kate.
There are not enough positive things to say about this cottage. The location is unbeatable, the place itself is magical with a cute garden and perfect amenities and hosts. The parking spot is crucial too! We could not have asked for a better vacation! It was a perfect place in paradise.
The cottage is perfect. Extremely clean and well appointed. We loved the location and the owners were very welcoming and responsive. I highly recommend this little piece of paradise!
Kate and Dan have supplied their lovely place with everything we could have needed. It has easy access to beautiful Lanikai beach where the snorkeling was excellent! Thanks for helping make for a memorable stay!
The cottage is magical. It starts with an amazing location in one of the beautiful places in the world. It continues with an immaculately crafted room with all the right amenities, fantastic furnishings, and thoughtfully stocked with everything you might need. The hosts are fantastic, thorough, and detail-oriented so that your stay is perfect.
If you have the opportunity to stay here you will make some truly happy memories.
Easy beach access, super clean cottage, many personal touch amenities, friendly communicative owner and easy clear rental agreement made this a very pleasant stay. Highly recommend for a Lanikai beach experience.
Great host, great location, beautifully decorated studio home- ground level. If you want to feel detached from Honolulu and Waikiki crowds- this is the place. Loved our stay.
