Our family stayed for a month while our home was being renovated. It was a wonderful from start to finish over the holidays. The home and all the amenities were exactly as listed online. Both the house manager and housekeeper were very good at communicating.We had many favorite spots within the property. One was the front lanai, for morning coffee or an afternoon nap. The 2nd spot was by the pool. It was huge, heated with a long seating area. Loved having the grassy area, grill and ample seating for the entire family outside. The jacuzzi was off and on during our stay and didn't really warm up but it didn't deter us from having fun. I think the manager and pool man did their best to coordinate repairs. The 3rd spot for me personally was the relaxing spa size tub in the big house. My daughter and son-in-law with their two toddlers stayed in the cottages and loved the quiet and furniture that their space provided as well. The proximity to the beach was perfect and we appreciate all the fun pool & beach toys.The kitchen amenities were fully stocked, all high end. We were pleasantly surprised to have a welcome gift of snacks, coffee and tea when we arrived as well.It was convenient to have a washer and dryer in the main house. It might've been convenient to have them on the cottage side too We had cleaning, yard and pool service.The challenges were traffic with road work, T-mobile reception and complicated TV system. Otherwise we had a very Happy Holiday here!

This is a lovely home with great amenities and layout for entertaining family and friends. My three girls (10, 8 and 6) enjoyed swimming in the pool as well as snorkeling in the ocean from the beach access point, which was 5 minutes from the house. We also enjoyed biking riding in the Lanikai neighborhood as well as to Kailua Beach. Definitely the perfect break from NYC and we left tanned and relaxed.

The house is a very nice beach home, with up to date furnishings and appliances, clean and well maintained inside and out. The home accommodated our group of 10 adults and 4 teens perfectly. The main living open floor plan was large enough for everyone to gather and join in on conversations. The two cottages were a plus so that no one felt smothered. House keepers tidied the home twice during our stay, along with supplying fresh linens and towels. The back yard pool and spa were refreshing and entertaining. Restaurants and shopping are a short drive away and the Pillbox Hike is a must even for the inexperienced hiker. The home is NOT fully air conditioned - Be aware only the bedrooms are. A portable fan was needed to help keep the kitchen area cool especially while cooking meals. The nearest beach access, “Lanikai Beach”, that you can walk the shoreline or sit a chair to soak up the sun is a 9 - 10 minute walk from the home. The listing shows a beach access very close to the house, but it is more of a kayak launching area. Though it is an awesome area to watch the sunrise. Overall, we had an awesome time and would stay again.

We've stayed at several properties on Oahu, and Hale Mokulua is the best. Lots of space, modern appliances, and great location. Ocean access across the street, 0.5 miles to Lanikai Beach, 1 mile to Kailua Beach. The pool and spa is outstanding. The Property Manager (Steven) and Reservation Agent (Kim) are very responsive and helpful. Everyone had a great time and enjoyed our stay at Hale Mokulua very much.

Hale Mokulua was the perfect house for my family to get together with their relatives on the Island. Young and old loved walking to the beach or hiking the Pillboxes that were nearby. Some members even used the bus which ran by the house to get to Kailua Town which offers so many wonderful restaurants, shops and one family member even went on a chocolate tour there. Thank you Vicky and Steve for answering all my questions. Mahalo Nui Loa! Marilyn Arado

The property is perfect for a large group and is in (IMO) the nicest part of Oahu. The website description and pictures are accurate. The small beach across the street is great for a kayak and paddle board and a swim. If you want to have a true "long walking beach" or boogie boarding, the best access is 1/2 mile very easy walk. We were 3 generations and 4 families. Our numbers varied from 11 - 14. The property easily accommodates a big group and provides enough room and privacy for all. There are many provided amenities in the kitchen and bathrooms, as well as outdoors for the pool and beach. The property is very well maintained. The only suggestion I might make has to do with the cleaning robot which must stay in the pool 100% of the time. The vacuum tube takes a lot of space and makes lap swimming almost impossible. That being said, it made ZERO difference to the kids who were the primary users of the pool. I would definitely stay here again with a large group.

Such a perfect place for two families, the pool that splits the property is amazing. Great location a half block to the beach and walking distance to the Pillbox hike.

First, we were impressed with all the details provided by Private Homes Hawaii and how responsive the estate manager was. We were also impressed with how incredibly well equipped the property and house were from beach towels, boogie boards, beach toys and other equipment to everything and needed in the kitchen( and more) and then how much we were permitted to use: tiki torches, pool spa, grill. There is only one way in and out of Lanikai and this made the location relatively safe yet convenient to Kailua ( a little construction traffic 8-4in Kailua).The beach at Lanikai is one of the few sugar sand ones on the island. It was beautiful and family friendly at all times of the day and had some decent snorkeling a bit out on the coral reefs. We are missing the sunrise walks on the beach followed by coffee on Hale Mokulua's beautiful lanai.

we had a great time at hale mokulua & loved exploring lanikai beach community. we were a multigenerational family + nanny visiting august 2021.the pros: 1) the property description of the house itself was exactly what we expected - the photos are accurate as is the description. home could use updating but is well maintained for a vacation home2) the pool & hot tub were great. loved the grass in the backyard = perfect for our 2yr old 3) there are 2 mastersuites = great for parents 4) separate apartment = perfect for nanny5) LOVED outdoor shower + front lanai6) rental company was very responsive The cons:1) we felt misled about the location. based on photos, looks like lanikai beach is steps from the home & it's not. It's ~0.50-0.75mi or 15-20min walk, which was a bummer. ended up driving every day after 4pm for free parking & no crowds2) this location is NOT walkable to anything. so if you go, rent a car. 35-40min to Honolulu. Kailua ~7min. 3) don't leave the front doors open at night or you'll have critters (no screens) 4) wished there were more chaise loungers for pool (only 2) so we could all lay out5) spotty wifi. mentioned this to rental company & their response was "you're in the middle of the ocean, what do you expect?" umm. working wifi6) not all TVs are smartTVs7) icemaker & hammock both broke & response time was slow to fixsome tips:1) make sure you are aware when service people come to property. had some issues with them coming onsite without warning2) no onstreet parking3) we asked the rental company about how fully stocked the house was with supplies & they led us to believe it was the bare minimum. We arrived to find it was much more stocked than we expected. On the one hand that was great, on the other hand it led to us bringing a lot of unnecessary supplies4) hammock is only in shade very early in AM & at night5) MOSQUITOS! Bring re

The home was perfect for us. We were in the main house with our daughter. Our friends were in the cottage and the nanny was in the studio. The cottage is smaller than expected but everything worked giving everyone some of their own space. We hung out for hours on the Lanai and in the grassy/pool area.
You can dip in the water less than a block away, but that entry point is more for kayakers. Beach access is less than a 10 min walk down the road, but the walk is amazing. It's Lanikai and beautiful.

We had a great trip, 30 day rental is hard to make happen but led to multiple trips which isn’t the worst outcome. Property and location are great, property management team is responsive. Some areas are a bit dated but on balance it was great.
