To me these cottages are great…read more I'm in 1610. It looks like it's been renovated since most of the Yelp Reviews. It's a 2 bedroom 1 bath with a sitting area and a dining table. It's advertised as a full kitchen but be prepared you get a single pan, toaster, random cookware, and a grill. If you read the occupancy its mentions 6 or maybe 7 can stay here? I have no idea how that would be possible as I am here with my wife, daughter, and mother in law and daughter is sleeping on the couch. All this aside it's still decent for the price. I am giving 2 stars mainly for the housekeeping people. They come at random times and maybe not at all? I have taken my own trash out several days because ants are common in Hawaii. I was stationed here and gave my family the info on that. The main issue is we have had 4 towels for our stay and these housekeepers have not changed them for a days. We even left them on the floor in a bundle in an attempt to make it more obvious they need changing and they still disregarded providing fresh towels. They have also provided 2 rolls of toilet paper for a 14 day stay. I expect things to not be provided by virtue of spending a career with Marines so we preemptively bought toilet paper at 9 pm on the way back from day adventures and thankfully we did or we would be out of luck because housekeepers didn't check that. We also have not had our sheets changed once in over a week of staying here. We were able to book the 7 days for myself (active duty) and my wife got her 7 day stay (also active duty). When the housekeeper crew shows up while we are here and knock on the door, I politely answer with "hey good morning come on in" And the lady looks at me like I'm some Kind of jerk off. Gives me a sense that she expects me to hand her the trash rather than coming in and getting it (like she would do if I weren't in the unit anyway). I think these units being further from the base gives the cleaning crew a "out of sight, out of mind" feeling? Or possibly that the price point on the unit becomes a "well you get what you pay for" type service. I have no idea. I'm looking forward to speaking with the front desk when it opens in the AM. Maybe it will be resolved.

The big unit has a full kitchen with a dining room table, full fridge, a stove, and an oven. It has a washer and dryer, multiple beds, a TV, a huge couch, and a love seat. The big unit is very spaces, with a parking stool. If you want to park in the parking stool you need to go done the drive way which is narrow, or you can park on the road, which is really safe! The small unit has a queen or king size bed, a mini kitchen, no oven, microwave etc. It has a full size bathroom, and it accessible. I would say the small unit is for two people, ike a couple or a small family with one child. I would 100% come again! You should definitely stay here!

First off, this is more a vacation rental. This was our first trip out to Hawaii and we were…read morelooking for something on the Windward side of Oahu. I found this place while searching for bed and breakfast establishments. **Note to readers** Make sure to check for only registered lodgings, Hawaii is having issues with unregistered establishments. Checking for availability was a simple e-mail inquiry, though I could have called as well. Response was prompt and concise. Reserved room through e-mail and called to give them the credit card info. There are two units, both sectioned off from the house with private bathrooms, one with more space and a kitchen. We chose the smaller unit which was cheaper, only $75 a night for the end of January. The place is two blocks from the beach and there are two beach access points nearby. I was nervous, given the low price and my unfamiliarity with Kailua. All my fears were gone the minute I saw the place. A large bed, a private bathroom, a mini-fridge, microwave and toaster oven. Even a television with cable and room for our stuff. While not top of the line, the room was everything I expected. Barbara and her husband were gracious hosts. We had immediate answers to any questions and a nice patio with a pool at our disposal. Bottom line: if you want a nice, simple starting point for your daily excursions, check into Auntie Barbara's now. For the price and amenities offered it can't be beat. It missed four stars for only one reason: parking. The house is set back from the road down a narrow driveway flanked by a concrete wall and a fence. Parking next to the house and getting back out is a nightmare. Thankfully we were able to utilize street parking and walked down the driveway to our unit after the first day.

I can't say enough great things about them and how welcome they made me feel. From the moment I booked to, when I sadly had to leave, Pixie and Andy took every opportunity to go out of their way and ensure I had the best possible experience. From making thoughtful recommendations, to dropping off delicious snacks, they really made my experience at Lanikai Studios special. As for the location, it is ideally situated across from Lanikai Beach. It's on the end closest to Kailua which is great as it's just a short (not to mention beautiful) walk or bike ride to Kailua town. The beach access is directly across the street making it easy to enjoy the spectacular sunrises and moon rises on one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. The entire place is charming, decorated with island decor inside and out that sets the Aloha vibe. The rooms are clean, very well maintained and most have lanai or balconies. It's the perfect place to unplug, relax and enjoy the ocean. From my room I could hear the waves breaking every night. Lanikai Studios is a magical place in a spectacular location. If you have the opportunity, stay here. You won't be disappointed. It provides a more relaxing, personal and authentic experience than the mega hotels of Waikiki. Mahalo Pixie and Andy
