Lanikai Beach was the best beach, hands down, that we visited on either Oahu or Maui. While I did see a couple of jellyfish on the last day (be careful!) this beach had great snorkeling, swimming, and the BEST sunrise. If going for the sunrise, give yourself a good 20-25 minutes before the actual sunrise time to make sure you can see it come up. It was one of the best things we saw on our entire trip.
All of the other beaches offered surf that was too rough, but Lanikai was just so, so beautiful. And this unit is literally 3-4 houses from the public access, which was less than a 5 minute walk to be on the beach. Beach chairs, umbrella, snorkeling gear and more were available. The parking is tight, so try to have a smaller car, but after seeing the parking situation in the area, you’ll definitely be glad you have a spot.
Also, it was just so awesome to be away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki. If you want a more quiet and tranquil stay on Oahu, this is the place for you.
The unit itself was great! The AC worked well enough and we were just fine with having a microwave, toaster, and fridge.
Just be aware, there are only a few restaurants in the area that stay open on the later side, seemingly due to COVID, so plan your dinners accordingly!
