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

Beautiful views and great location near the beach however house is in need of tender loving care. Rotten wood and holes on floors. Termite droppings. House was not as clean as your would expect especially with the price paid for this rental.

The house location cannot be beat! We saw sea turtles swimming by & on early mornings it felt like we had our own private beach. The house was well appointed & waking up every morning to the breathtaking view of the sun coming up over the ocean was the best. You know when college aged kids are up by 6am watching a sunrise it must be spectacular. There was enough room for our family of 11 that ranged from 80yrs old to 5 yrs old. There was enough parking for 4 vehicles which worked out perfectly for us. We enjoyed getting to enjoy the slower side of the island & really feel like a local. The house is close enough to local coffee shops, shopping, etc. that you don’t have to go far for anything. Everyone is ready to go back & there is no where else they want to stay!

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!!!

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.

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.

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!

Walker beach house was probably one of the few house that still have access to the famous soft sandy beach at Lanikai. We enjoyed the houses easy access to the beach, however, the house was broken in on the 2nd to the last night of our staying, more than $10,000 worth of jewelry and belongings were stolen. There were signs in the house to remind us to lock away our valuables, but my designer bags didn’t fit the small safe in the closet. We filed the police report, and they asked if there is any security cameras installed since the last burglary just a few months ago. We were also told by the police that there were few other homes were burglarized that week. I suggested to the property manager, he said he will bring it up to the owner. We understand this can happen to any where and anyone. We have been coming to Hawaii every summer for the past 20years and this was the first time it happened. I just want to bring this to the owner’s attention to install a security camera .

Steven and Barbea guided us through the reservation process with ease. Our group of 13 fit comfortably on this property. Every amenity and more is available. This property view is unbeatable and one of the few available licensed short-term rentals. One of the most beautiful vacations home with all the amenities, direct access to the beach and a short bike ride to Kailua. You won't be disappointed.
