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

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.

Property is beautiful and perfect. A lot of space and everything a family needs for a vacation house. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook as much as we wanted, there were plenty of beach chairs, toys, and coolers --- truly everything you need! And the house was so comfortable and spacious! LOVED IT!

Walker’s Lanikai Beach is quintessential Hawaii combined with luxury of a beachfront estate! 10 out of 10 for this amazing estate...1) With picture window views that make you feel like you’re on a cruise ship with the home seemingly floating on water. 2) Main house with 3 BR combined with the guest cottage suite and upstairs Boat house with full amenities like living, kitchen, bedroom and loft make it perfect for groups or multi-families.3) Split ACs in the bedrooms, cottage and boat house!4) Living room windows and floor level shutters of main house open and provide the most amazing natural A/C ocean breeze that keeps you comfortable during the summer days5) Views of the mokes from the amazing back yard with large outdoor dining table for dinners and multiple lounge chairs make for the perfect setting to chillax and take in the world class views6) Amenities are plentiful from the gas grill to the overstocked garage full of everything you can imagine to compete your beach vacation such as lounge chairs, beach chairs, umbrellas, snorkel gear, boogie boards, double washer/dryer units, ice chests, etc.All you need to bring is your aloha spirit and make Walkers Lanikai your heaven on earth!

This property is the Best!! From the main house to the cottage and the boathouse, it was truly amazing! The Beach house is right next to the beach. The Beach house had everything we needed for my whole family to come together and heal. Communication and praises to Steven Jones (Estate Manager), Loy Todd ( Director of Admin), Victoria Fukushima and Patty DeDominicis made everything possible for our stay to be as smooth as possible. Mahalo!!

Stayed a week at Walker's Lanikai beach with my family. It was wonderful. You feel like you are on the beach from inside the house and outside area is great. Beautiful setting and plenty of room for multi-generation family trip.

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.
