Thank you for welcoming us into your Lankai Treehouse. Even though it was a short stay, it was absultly lovely! I will for ever be greatful to have spent my birthday in such an amaizing place - and its all thanks to you both. Your home is so peacuful - it was a treat to wake up every morning to the sounds of nature and the personal touches you have put into the place made it a gem. Lanikai Beach will always have a special place in our hearts. Thank you for your hospitality & kindness! All the best, The Burkes, Mahalo- Chicago, Il "We'll be back!!!?"

My husband and I spent a few days here in March for my 30th birthday - I wish we could have stayed longer! Rick & Nini are the best hosts. The attention to detail and decoration in the unit is unmatched. You will not want for anything - they’ve got it all! The location is unbeatable and waking up in the morning to the sounds of nature in the treehouse was truly special. We hope to be back one day soon!

Nini & Rick you make hosting look easy when Jim # i know its very hard work at times - thank you profusely for sharing your world with us.

We have previously stayed in and enjoyed the Lanikai Garden Studio (before the remodel) but it wasn’t available this year for our dates so we decided to splurge on the Treehouse. We have stayed in three other rentals in the area and the Treehouse was worth the money.
An off-road parking spot is the first win; we learned this the hard way having had to search for spots on a rainy night and lug grocery bags back to a previous unit with no dedicated parking.
The unit itself and the amenities are the second win. Lovely breezes, sunshine and birdsong are provided by all the windows. Full stocked kitchen and linen closets offer all you need to cook, stay clean and enjoy time at the beach. Beach towels, beach chairs, cooler, and other beach toys are all readily available in the unit.
Welcome snacks, juice, coffee, a pineapple and a bottle of wine waited for us upon checkin.
The owners, Rick & Nini are super hosts. They know all about the area, provide answers to all questions, check in on you via email and text and know how to make you feel at home without hovering or reciting rules.
Last but of course foremost is the location. Great stores and restaurants are found in area but it’s ALL ABOUT THE BEACH! Even with shifting sands, Lanikai Beach, a short walk down the access lane is one of the most wonderful beaches on all the Hawaiian islands. And if you get bored there, just take a 5-10 minute walk down the road to the beach at the State Park. Plenty of beach for nice long walks, life guards and always lots of activities to engage in or just watch.
Definitely on my list of recommendations for anybody visiting Oahu and on my wish list for a return stay !

After moving our daughter to the University of Hawaii, this was the perfect place to catch our breath!
We truly felt at home the entire time. Thank you, we can't wait to come back!

Thank you for letting us stay in our beautiful home. We enjoyed every moment and can't wait to return!

Hi Rick, now that I'm getting back into the swing of things here in chilly Washington DC, I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for such a lovely stay last month. We loved our time at the treehouse and are so grateful to you and your family for your hospitality - we also ran into your wife and daughter during our stay and both were so kind and helpful. My cousin that we were visiting will probably be stationed back on the East Coast this summer, but I'm sure we'll still want to come back even without family nearby - it's hard to beat walking across the street first thing in the morning to take in those sunrises with a cup of coffee! 🙂 Thanks also for the kind message you left us after we checked out. I hope we'll be back to visit before too long!

This house is a treasure. Located at the foot of the most beautiful mango tree, it's beautifully decorated with warm colors and a few gorgeous Hawaiian details. As soon as we stepped in, we felt instantly at home. Everything was super clean and well kept. We went for our ten year wedding anniversary, and I found it perfect for the three of us. We have a one-year-old son who slept on the second bedroom (we didn't want to disrupt his sleeping routines during vacation). Rick and Nini were very accommodating and lent us a bunch of baby gear. They are really good people, very flexible, warm and welcoming. The location is perfect. The ocean is across the street, and the main beach is only three minute walk away. The neighborhood is quiet and perfect for a relaxing vacation. I can't wait to go back.

We stayed in the Lanikai Treehouse for our first family vacation with our 5-month-old daughter, and it was the perfect place for us! We were so fortunate to be able to book this ideal rental. Rick and Nini are such warm and thoughtful hosts. They took great care of us from the time of booking, all the way through checkout, with their kindness and useful recommendations. (We had wonderful meals from Times Supermarket several times during the week!) They welcomed our daughter--despite her crying!--and even offered us a play yard and a high chair, which allowed us to travel with only carry-ons. The Treehouse itself is a dream accommodation right by the most beautiful beaches on Oahu. As soon as we stepped into the bright and airy rental with its well-appointed amenities and island-inspired decor, we felt so relaxed and at home. Rick and Nini really thought of everything we could possibly need, from the well-stocked kitchenette to beach gear--including great beach reads! Most of all, we loved the breeze flowing through the large open windows, the sound of night rain, being surrounded by mango and plumeria trees, and waking up to the song of birds. We've been telling friends and family about this gem. Thank you, Rick and Nini, for a heavenly stay!

The second stay at the Lanikai Treehouse (2/20-3/20) just completed!!! I stayed here last year and had such an awesome time, that I had to return this year as well. The Treehouse is beautifully decorated, tons of amenities(love my welcome basket every year), a very safe & quiet neighborhood, beautiful beach across the street, stunning sunrises, Pillbox Trail behind the house, Kailua a skip & a hop to town and tons of other places to discover all over O’ahu. Rick & Nini are first class hosts and are very warm, friendly & extremely helpful with any concerns & questions!!!! Don’t miss out on these accommodations. You want to be disappointed, I promise!!!!
