THE PENTHOUSE IN LANIKAI – PRIVATE TOP-FLOOR RETREAT WITH SPECTACULAR OCEAN VIEWS
30+ DAY RENTAL
Welcome to the Penthouse in Lanikai, our private top-floor retreat in one of Oahu's most beautiful beach communities. Our family has been sharing this special piece of paradise for over 20 years, welcoming guests from around the world who return year after year—many of them multiple times.
Perched high on the mountainside above Lanikai, the Penthouse offers some of the most breathtaking views in the neighborhood. Facing east toward the Pacific Ocean, guests enjoy unforgettable sunrises, moonrises, cooling trade winds, and panoramic views of the turquoise waters and the iconic Mokulua Islands. Experience the beauty of island living with morning walks, bike rides, beach days, and peaceful evenings overlooking the ocean.
The Penthouse comfortably accommodates up to four guests and features a primary bedroom with a queen bed, plus an additional queen bed in a semi-private sleeping area located just off the living room. The home includes one full bathroom with a shower, making it ideal for couples, small families, traveling professionals, or extended stays in paradise.
Beautifully renovated and thoughtfully furnished, the Penthouse features bamboo wood flooring, traditional lauhala mat and beam ceilings, stone countertops, Hawaiian heirloom quilts, elephant bamboo furnishings, and tasteful island décor that create an authentic Hawaiian atmosphere.
The fully equipped kitchen includes a full-size refrigerator, cooktop, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, cookware, dishes, and everything needed for a comfortable extended stay. Additional amenities include high-speed Wi-Fi, flat-screen television, and access to beach equipment.
One of the highlights of the Penthouse is the large private wraparound lanai overlooking the Pacific Ocean and the Mokulua Islands. Outdoor seating provides the perfect place to enjoy morning coffee, work remotely, read a book, dine outdoors, or simply relax while taking in the incredible views. A private charcoal barbecue grill is also provided.
Guests are welcome to use the beach and recreation equipment available on the property, including:
• Beach chairs
• Beach umbrellas
• Bikes
• Kayaks
ACCESS & STAIRS
The Penthouse occupies the entire third level of this three-story estate and is completely private, with its own entrance and living space.
