Longs
at Lanikai:
Built in the early 20's, this family beach home offers the perfect
setting for a memorable vacation getaway. Situated on the water
at Lanikai Beach, Longs at Lanikai is ideal for those in favor
of a secluded retreat.
This
four-bedroom abode is full of classic island architecture and
furnishings. Three of the rooms hold queen beds and the last room
contains two single beds. The house configuration is of a rectangular
design, with all four bedrooms, as well as the living room, facing
the ocean. Ocean views and cool trade winds flow into each of
these rooms. Two of the bedrooms are located on either side of
the central living room, with a bathroom at the end of each hall.
Each of the bathrooms has a beach entry door, a great amenity
for showering off after going for a swim. The kitchen is on the
north end of the home and opens to a very large covered lanai,
which faces the mountains. This sheltered area is perfect for
recounting your day's adventures while enjoying breakfast, lunch,
and dinner with the convenience of a barbeque. The lanai has two
circular glass tables, with each table able to accommodate five
people. An additional four-person rectangular table is also situated
in this area. The washer and dryer are located in a laundry room
adjacent to the lanai.
On the beach side of the home, immediately out of the living room
door, there is another large covered lanai with a table and four
chairs, two built-in benches, and the most stunning view. This
is living!
Lanikai is famous for its sunrise, which illuminates the exquisitely
turquoise colored bay and lights up the sky with vibrant pastels.
This sight is a great reward for early birds or maybe even an
incentive for late risers to set the alarm ahead of schedule.
Longs Beach House carries this view right outside of its window!
While enjoying your stay, keep an eye out for ocean dwelling creatures
such as green sea turtles floating in the calm, protected shore
line, as well as sea birds navigating the skies in search of fish.
You can even cast your line out from the front yard for a fresh
catch!
Kayaking to the off-shore Mokulua Islands, going for a refreshing
swim right in front of your getaway, taking a relaxing stroll
along Lanikai's white sand beach, and exploring Lanikai's coral
sheltered bay from a "fish-like" perspective with a mask and snorkel
are a few of the many outdoor activities that will be right at
your fingertips while staying at this relaxing getaway.
