We had a wonderful family vacation at Lanikai Cottage. The property had everything we needed. We had room to spread out and be together. We had easy access to activities and services/restaurants in Kailua. We also appreciated the help of the property managers. Thank you for a great experience and memories to last a lifetime.

The backyard space, short walk to the ocean and VERY well stocked garage with SUPs, kayaks, floaties, toys, and all the necessary beach stuff, are unbeatable for a beautiful, relaxed Hawaiian vacation.

This place was perfect for our family. The house was spacious and clean. The pool area was gorgeous at night with the string lighting . The yard has a variety of plants and birds making it a natural haven. We dined outdoors in the cool evening sunsets recapping our days. We couldn't have picked a better spot away from the crowds and enjoyed every minute of it. Morning walks to the beach and everything you need to have a great day at the beach is readily available.

Great location. Very clean and well—kept property with awesome pool. Flexible living space for variety of guests. Short walk to one of the most beautiful beaches in Hawaii. Home is nicely equipped with thoughtful extras. Definitely should make your short list.

We found this to be a perfect place for our family of 6, grandparents apartment and main house for our family of 4. Great access to the beach, hiking, restaurants and peaceful. Sunrises were awesome!

The place was great, just as described - and in near-mint condition. The beach is in short distance and it's a true gem - pristine sand, not crowded. We had tons of fun kayaking and snorkeling. Waking up in the morning with a dip in the pool was a big plus as well. The check-in and check-out processes were smooth and everyone we interacted with was efficient and courteous.

Many affordable homes you can rent in Hawaii are a little dingy and they are almost always appointed in pineapples and kitschy Hawaiian decor. But this property is very clean and refreshed and decorated in a classy way. Loved staying here. Lots of space, lovely pool, and no issues whatsoever. The watersports and beach supplies are also incredibly helpful.

The cottage is in a great location near a beautiful beach. It is also well equipped with kayaks, sure board, snorkels and anything else you could think of! The cottage is spacious and welcoming with all the conveniences you may need and the garden is amazing for chilling in the pool or lounging around. I would highly recommend this property and Elite rentals!

Such a wonderful home! The home was as described...charming. Great location close to the beach but with the pool and large backyard it made it hard to leave. The home came with Kayaks which makes it very easy to paddle the Lanikai shore or go out to the Mokulua Islands which was one of our favorite things to do. The guest cottage is also really convenient allowing to rent one property for our family and grand parents (with AC which is a must) rather than two. I would highly recommend this rental!
