The home is located on the coveted Lanikai loop—a two and a half-mile street that circles around with cut-through streets along each block. It is great for morning walks and the beach is1.5 blocks away. Charming Kailua town is a bike ride away. I recommend coffee and breakfast at Kalapawai market, Farmer's markets on Thursday night and Sunday mornings, Buzz's steak house, and local shopping!

Location was outstanding - a very short walk to the best beaches on Oahu (altho a bit too far to walk to town). View from deck is peaceful, but you will hear neighbors. There were a couple maintenance issues to which the manager was responsive.
Everything was perfectly organized and we loved the penthouse apartment. Amazing views of Lanikai and locations is only 5mins walking from the nicest beach in O'ahu.
Our stay in the Viewhouse was ideal. The short walk to gorgeous Lanikai Beach was appreciated. Very comfortable stay with many amenities. Would definitely return!
Had a fabulous time. Close walk to the beach. Wish we could stay longer.

Great location and views, walkable distance from the beach, beach chairs and umbrellas provided. Definitively a great choice if you want to be away from the noise.
We really enjoyed the Viewhouse and all it had to offer! The balcony views were unreal and we spent lots of time there. It was great to have access to beach items and laundry as we used both several times! The location to the beach was really lovely and restaurants/stores were a quick 10-15 minute drive away. Would stay here again!
Perfect location in Lanikai for a short walk to Lanikai beach. Amazing balcony views of the Mokes. Owner provided beach chairs and equipment for use, which made the beach experience even better! Loved this place.
This is my second time staying here with my wife-- this time with our young daughter. Perfect place to get away from the tourist y crowds and just a brief 4-minute walk to the sand. The ocean view on the balcony is lovely and will make you want to stay in to make breakfast everyday
stay in for breakfast everyday
This was a unique and wonderful place to stay. Lava stone wall, bamboo floor, beautiful staircase through lush plants up to the flat, amazing view, and short walk to one of the world’s most beautiful beaches. We had a wonderful time and felt well taken care of; communication was great.
Great place! Lovely view, easy walk to the beach, and lots of beach equipment/toys to use during the stay. Heads up if you have little kids - there are quite a lot of stairs to get up to the house, we were doing a lot of carrying. The view from up top was totally worth it, though! Would stay again.
The best part of the vacation was the beach which was very close and great for swimming and just enjoying. The lower level apartment was comfortable and well appointed and close to the beach where we could watch amazing sunrises and full moon rise. The lanai was spacious and had good views. The apartment had many fans and a wall of windows to compensate for lack of cross ventilation. The
Such a lovely rental! Feels like home :) The inside was beautiful, the deck was gorgeous. But having your very own parking place in Lanikai is priceless! Great, fast walk to the most beautiful beach in the world.
My hubby and I stayed in Lanikai for the first half of our trip to Oahu. The location exactly met our needs and expectations. The second half we stayed at a famous resort on the other side of the island. The Viewhouse at Lanikai was much better! We loved the Viewhouse, the beach, the locals, the town, etc. Highly recommend is you have a vehicle and want to stay in a low key, relaxing, and friendly area.
