Great Location~!
Lynn's cottage was tucked away in Lanikai which was a beautiful place to be, located just across the street from the beach (for snorkeling and kyaking) and 3 blocks to the beach, and right under a the great hiking spot Lanikai Pill Box Hike. The place was a great size with a separate Dining Living kitchen area from the large bedroom with a King Bed, and had everything you can be in need of. We would definitely suggest a stay here.

Beautiful surroundings and super cozy bungalow
This was an outstanding spot. It was secluded enough to be away from the main part of Kailua town but only a 5 to 10
minute drive to everything. The host was great, the place was great, the area was great. To sum up, this vacation was great. I would not hesitate to return.

Private Cottage, Great Location
My husband and I enjoyed a week at this cute cottage. Every morning we enjoyed watching the beautiful sunrise over the Mokes (access to the beach is just across the street and down a little ways). The cottage is private, yet the owner and her family are available if needed. The bikes provided were convenient for riding to Buzz's for a meal or into Kailua Town. This is a great place to stay.
This cottage is in the perfect location. The most beautiful ocean in the world is across the street. Great, safe neighborhood. The cottage at South has everything you need.Tons of privacy and comfort. This is my third time staying here and I’m coming back. The hosts are fabulous. Thank you for another wonderful stay!

Lynn's property was perfect for us! Steps away from Lanikai Beach, so beautiful and peaceful.
Lynn was so friendly and helpful, the cottage we stayed in was absolutely perfect! I had my morning tea outside in the lovely patio area and enjoyed the ambiance of the lush tropical environment and soothing sounds of doves and various birds. I was able to see the sunrise every morning by taking a short 1 house down walk and cross the road. I have such fond memories of our stay and I'm really looking forward to returning in the future. Thanks, Lynn for having such a pleasant and peaceful place! Judy and Tim Indie

Thank you so much for choosing to stay here. So happy you enjoyed your stay.
Lynn
We completely enjoyed our stay! We wanted to stay in the Lanikai Beach area and we found a gem of a place to do just that. The location is great, with a 10 minute walk to the beach, but we were in no hurry, so it may have taken longer.
Lynn is a very good host and she took care of everything. The bungalow is very clean, and well equipped with everything you need. There is a nice supply of items that you can use to enjoy the beach. The yard is the best part. It is more of a tropical garden and is an excellent place to sit outside and to enjoy. We were outside every evening, relaxing with a drink and sitting in the breeze.
We had a very restful stay, and enjoyed the windward side of the island. We highly recommend this place for those who want to experience this area of Oahu.

Mahalo for your kind words! We are thrilled you enjoyed your stay.
Lanikai cottage is a very peaceful and relaxing place. The neighborhood is quiet, grocery stores and restaurants are just a few minutes away, and the beach is within walking distance where you can sit and enjoy the sun rising over the Mokes. It is a good sized space with a full kitchen, plus access to a laundry room, beach chairs and towels. The owner is very friendly and available if needed, but also respects your space. I would stay here again.
Great location to avoid the crowd and sounds of more touristy areas. The cottage was clean and comfortable, great ac and fan system and came fully furnished with cookware. Owners were polite and gave us our space to do our own thing. Wifi dropped a few times but was not really an issue. Would highly recommend renting out the available kayak or sup board to make it out to the Mokus. Overall a 10/10 experience, would come back again.

Much Aloha Samuel! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! Some recent construction on road may have resulted in cable company outings but is resolved:) we look forward to having you back. You were lovely guests!
Thank you so much Lynn for opening up your home to us. We had an amazing time. Being able to access the beach chairs, coolers, bikes etc made the trip feel like we were at home. Can’t wait to come back.
Having never stayed in a vrbo property before, we were somewhat apprehensive but Lynn made this stay perfect. Very responsive to messages, full of information on where to go to do things, and made our stay wonderful. Will recommend to others for sure!
It was oir first time in Hawaii and it wonderful. The house/bungalow was clean and neat when we arrived. The neighborhood was very quit and calm. The house/bungalow was very useful for eating breakfast and after a long day of beaches and exploring we would be able to come back and relax and get ready for the next day.
Lovely place to stay if you like having tea outside in the morning as the sounds of the birds are very beautiful along with being surrounded by lovely plants and flowers.
My favorite time was listening to the birds in the garden and sharing coffee with my husband. Very spacious cottage, and quiet and private. We really enjoyed the hiking and kayaking in the bay. The Moke's were very special. Than you Lynn for accommodating us arriving early, for the use of the kayaks and bikes. We really appreciated being able to do a load of laundry and would like to suggest you ask for $1 or 2 for laundry soap instead of having the guest purchase it. Smallest available size was enough for 12 loads. Seems like a waste. Also with the extra fan we were comfortable without the air conditioner. I hope you can get it repaired before the hot summer temperatures hit. Thank you for a wonderful time.

Glad you enjoyed your stay. The split a/c has been replaced with a brand new unit. Mahalo for your patience and understanding. We look forward to having you back🌺
This private cottage tucked behind a home had everything we needed and then some! Space was cozy & clean with plenty of storage & kitchen equipment. We enjoyed the patio/garden for wine before dinner. Lynn provided beach equipment that made our outings comfortable as it was an easy walk or drive to top rated beaches. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks, Lynn!
