The location in a neighborhood was great. It was quiet and peaceful.It’s an older place, dated but with a lot of nice attention to detail. One beach was just a walk away, and the other a 10 minute drive. Both were not crowded.We liked that restaurants and shops weren’t too far away in Kailua, since there was only a microwave at the VRBO.It was 30-60 minutes to go into Honolulu, depending on traffic.

Perfect place to stay in Kailua!

We wanted to stay in Kailua because of Lanikai beach and this was just a short walk away—so perfect!! The place was super cute, we got the room with the hot tub and we got a lot of use out of it!! Also, I wasn’t expecting the amount of snacks, drinks, and breakfast items in our unit when we arrived! It was super generous and delicious stuff!!! Thank you very much for the wonderful place to stay.

Lovely studio!

The location is incredible, just a short walk to beautiful Lanikai beach! There was a bit of confusion about which place we were staying in but once we were there it was clear. We were in a studio with twin beds and a small kitchenette. there was a nice sitting area for breakfast. Our lovely host Janice provided everything we needed for our beach outings and more food than we could eat! A big thank you to Janice!

Great Place for Two

This was a great location as we rented a car for the week and toured most parts of the island. Having local restaurants, grocery store, Target, etc. nearby was a big benefit. The place is small, but we didn't have the need to stay inside except to sleep and shower. The patio was very relaxing. The host lives on the property and was very attentive to any needs we had.

Great get-away

This was a location that really met the needs of our type of stay - we were traveling a lot, using the B&B as a home base mostly. The Inn felt very safe, it was enjoyable to simply sleep with our windows open and enjoy the natural breeze. We also appreciated having a selection of food options and access to a kitchenette. Lanikai was beautiful and our favorite spot to sit beach side and swim. I am very glad we picked this B&B over other available location. I would describe the vibe as comfortable and functional, not necessarily romantic.

Staying Paradise

Lanikai is definitely a piece of paradise and we are so grateful that we found an affordable place to stay there. The location of the Hidden Hideaway was perfect, with an easy walk to the beach and drive into town. The accommodations were comfortable. We really enjoyed our private second floor patio and sat out there for hours every evening. There was also a jacuzzi spa on it. We were surprised by the amount of delicious fruit, pastries and snacks Janice provided. It was all delicious, and very much appreciated.

Well manicured property

Property is well maintained; owner was very nice, lots of little things she had put together to make our stay comfortable from a tray of 3 cookies, tray of breakfast goodies, coffee, tea,microwave,small fridge, clean bathroom, great air conditioning. Space was tight though for 3 adults. Update the comforter and pillows please- they looked and felt too used up, but sheets/pillow cases were clean. I would recommend this VRBO as a pleasant stay.

Healing Paradise

I had a magical stay at Janice's! First of all, the location is amazing. It was about a 7 minute walk to the most beautiful beach. I love being in a residential area as opposed to a giant hotel. I stayed in the upstairs room with hot tub. It was exactly as advertised. Janice left snacks and drinks in the room which was a super sweet touch. The hot tub on the porch was awesome and very hot. I enjoyed peaceful mornings and evenings out there with the beautiful landscaping. Janice's place felt like home and I would 100% return. If you're looking for a place where you can truly feel the spirit of the island, this is it. Thanks, Janice!

Location good only if you're wanting to be in Lanikai/Kailua

We were here for one week for work in Kailua, so the location worked well for us. The host leaves a very generous basket of food and snacks upon arrival. All amenities such as towels, bedding, accessories to use at the beach, shampoo, coffee, extra toilet paper and tissues- all extremely well supplied. I feel the room needs a refresh- even fresh bed linens and new pillows would go a long way. Same with the shower curtain- it's all rusted up where the hooks are- considering the amount charged for the studio and the cost of a new shower curtain, it seems like it could be do-able to refresh the curtain every few months. Grounds are beautiful- Lanikai/Kailua are stunning- just know it's a drive to anywhere else on islandA few cons for us; we had a LOT of luggage as we carry a portable office in suitcases wherever we travel- you WILL have to navigate X amount of stairs. The path to the stairs is beautiful, but rocky and uneven- I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who isn't sure-footed or is shaky on their feet. Also- I feel it should be noted in the listed that parking is a bit of a challenge. there IS a nice carport that is for guests to use- however if you have anything larger than a compact size, it's near impossible to fit two cars in at the same time. You are encouraged to not park in the driveway, so it made it hard when another mini-van was in the carport and I could not park our car. We did park way off to the side of the driveway for a few hours but I felt badly.
