About this property

May/June deals available for select dates - Ocean Front Lanikai!

Welcome to Walker's Lanikai Beach House. John Walker, was a Scotsman who made his way to Hawaii as a young man in the 1870's to become a contractor of choice to Queen Liliuokalani, and erect such notable buildings as the Bishop Museum and Honolulu Hale (City Hall).

Mr. Walker's inviting presence is felt in the structure of this, his favorite hideaway on Lanikai Beach. Built in 1934, this enchanting environment transports you back to an era of graceful living, where the worries of the world are lost in the luxury of sea, sand and restful surroundings. Following recent renovations, the house contains just the right combination of added comforts in its updated kitchen, guest quarters and “boat house”, with elements of charm carefully preserved from a richly felt past.

One of the first homes to take advantage of Lanikai’s heavenly reef-protected waters and natural stretch of white sand beach, John Walker’s Beach House set the standard by which the surrounding community grew…a standard which has been nurtured by his family through the years for you to enjoy. Although only with us in spirit, John Walker’s love of Lanikai is preserved by one of his most revered places in the world.

The main house features 3 bedrooms, kitchen and large "great room" with spacious guest rooms. Steps away is the white soft sands of Lanikai Beach with access to the water provided from the front lawn. With a separate entry, the 'guest cottage' located off the entry courtyard features a queen-bedded room and a small parlor with kitchenette (sleeps up to 4). Another private entry "boathouse" sits above the garage - complete with its own living room, kitchen, bathroom and lanai. The "boathouse" also has a loft area with double bed that may be suitable for young children (sleeps 2-4). This is the classic Lanikai Beach House - for those looking for a casual, relaxing getaway on the shores of one of the worlds' best beaches!

The Bedroom configurations are as follows:
Main House Primary - King Bed, ensuite bathroom with shower, split a/c, smart TV
Main House Guest Room (Ocean) - Queen Bed, shared bathroom in hall with shower & bathtub, split a/c
Main House Guest Room (Courtyard) - Queen Bed, shared bathroom in hall with shower & bathtub, split a/c

Perfect Family Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Walker House was the perfect place to bring our growing family. We had ages 8 months to 81 years old in our group and it served us all well. The views are incredible and 100 year old house is a great blend of traditional Hawaiian with updated amenities. Everything worked as expected and promised.

Amazing home and location

The property was amazing. The home had massive windows to enjoy the ocean views and the breezes along with great ameneties like ceiling fans and fully equipped kitchen. The location was perfect as well as the family could snorkle just off the deck and also go for hike close by. The management team was extremely responsive and flexible.

Gorgeous Historic Waterfront Home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our group had a fabulous relaxing stay at the Walker House. The great room with its wall of windows right over the water is amazing. When we walked around the wall from the kitchen and saw the view, all of us said "Wow!".The kitchen is well stocked, the beds and bedrooms comfortable (although note there is only a king mattress in the cottage's primary bedroom), and there are plenty of beach chairs and toys in the garage. The decor is chic but comfortable. This is a superb 'beachy' beach house in a great location.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Walker House was perfect for our group of 11 although all beds regardless of size are advertised double occupancy. Not ideal for adult kids that don't want to share a double bed.The house is beautiful, well appointed, updated and great location.

Paradise on Lanikai

The property has spectacular beachfront views. The great room was everyone's favorite room. It has huge windows which overlook the ocean and has plenty of room for everyone to gather. The Cottage and Boat house were perfect for the family members with little ones. They had their own space for down time and napping. The kitchen was well stocked with dishware, pots & pans, cooking utensils, small appliances and pantry items. We did a lot of cooking with our large family. The property had everything that you could want for the beach; beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards , sand toys, snorkeling gear, coolers, a beach wagon, floats, etc. Property mangers were very easy to work with and very accommodating. We honestly could not of had a better experience. It was a trip of a lifetime for our family and the perfect property for us.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a vacation of a lifetime for our family. The property was perfect for us. The views were beyond amazing. When you were in the expansive great room you felt as if you were on the beach. The cottage and boat house were perfect for the families with little ones. They had their own space for down time and napping. The garage had everything you would need for the beach; beach chairs, umbrellas, sand toys, beach wagon, coolers and snorkeling gear. The kitchen was well stocked with kitchen ware and pantry items. We did a lot of cooking with our large family. Two washers and two dryers was a definite plus. We really could not have enjoyed our stay at this property more.

Highly recommend!

This property is even better than the pictures show. The location is excellent and the home is very well provisioned with all the necessary items and then some. The live orchids were a special touch enjoyed by many of us. The separate spaces worked well for our family of 9, including two infant grandchildren. The rental agent and property manager were very helpful and communicative. We had no issues during our rental.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family has been taking yearly vacations in wonderful hotels in Hawaii for years, so moving to our first home rental was a big deal. From the moment we walked in and saw the window to ceiling ocean views, we knew had hit the jackpot. An incredible home...nothing was missing. Steven who manages the home was accessible before and during our stay for any questions we had. The home was immaculate and stunning...we did not want to leave...worth every penny!!!

Nice quite place to stay with a great view of the ocean

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home is in a very quiet area. There was a bit of traffic on the street as it is a one way street. Was very hard to get to the beach from the homes stairs as there were only large stones down there. The public walkway was just one house away which was not bad. We did need to drive a ways to get to anything. The home is old but very nice. We also got to use the boathouse and the cottage which were cute. All places had a kitchen which were well equipped. There is a hiking trail close to the house. They had a lot of toys and equipment for the beach which is nice if you stay there at the beach. Loved the view could see diamond head, the waves hitting the wall and the sun.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We could not have asked for a better house to have our holiday family reunion. The location, view and accommodations are superior to any rental we’ve experienced on any other vacation. The house is clean, so well-appointed and beautifully decorated. We lacked for nothing from beach chairs and towels, to cooking implements to jigsaw puzzles. The house instructions were so clear and helpful. I cannot think of anything we lacked. We would return without question.

Heaven on Earth - Walker Home in Lanikai, HI

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Absolute best vacation location ever. In all my travels around the world, this home was the best ever. The historic home did not disappoint. It's rare that photos of a home match up to the reality. In this case, the reality outdid the photos. How can you complain about a beach front historic home that you can call your own, if only for a few days? Impeccably maintained with 100 year old charm. Beautiful. We will return as often as possible! WE have already recommended this location as a must-see destination for our friends. Huge windows looking out over the crystal blue sea, cozy living space, updated kitchen appliances, comfortable and enticing areas to sit and just soak it all in. Magnificent!

A Beach Lovers Dream Rental

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was love at first sight, this rental was everything our group of 14 was looking for. Direct access to Lanikai beach, mellow waves, tons of sea turtles and enough space for us all to relax and hang-out. Located, walking distance from the pillbox hike and several local restaurants we couldn't ask for more. On the few occasions we decided to venture out, it was an easy drive to Oahu (30 mins) or even the North shore (1 hour).Overall the property was very clean and had many beach toys, chairs, etc. We even rented a kayak from down the street for 3 days that sat on the dock for easy access into the ocean. The kitchen was spacious enough to prepare big meals and had all appliances/tools needed. Room AC worked amazing and kept us cool and comfortable at night. Would love to come back to Walker House!
