We just finished a month long stay in Karibu Cottage. The cottage is in a great location - in a beautiful neighborhood and access to a hike out the back door for sunrise. You can also access the Pillbox hike from this end of Lanikai which we really enjoyed doing regularly. There is a bus stop right outside which made it convenient for us to get around as we needed to.
The cottage is very comfortable, light and airy. There is good use of space and the partition of the bed from the living area creates a nice space. The bed and bedding are super comfy! We really appreciated the washer and dryer downstairs and the outside shower after many beach days.
It is just a short walk to the iconic Lanikai Beach with a view of the Mokes in the bay. You can snorkel from just down the road all the way to Lanikai Beach which is convenient and fun. Included is some good beach gear - umbrella, beach chairs and beach towels.
We didn't have the opportunity to meet John and his wife, but their son Zach was a wonderful host. He is accommodating and super responsive. Hope to visit again soon, thank you!
