Where to stay in Windward Coast

With a spectacular view of Lanikai Beach below, Lanikai Pillboxes Hike is one of my favorite places on Oahu, HI. In the distance you can see The Mokes islands. The hike is pretty short, maybe a half hour to hour up to the top where there are a few pillboxes like the one in this photo. #lifeatexpedia

Lanikai

4/5(3 area reviews)

While Lanikai isn't home to many top sights, Lanikai Beach and Kailua Beach are some notable places to visit nearby.

Lanikai
Very beautiful beach in Hawaii, the island of Oahu🌴

Waimanalo Beach

While visiting Waimanalo Beach, you might make a stop by sights like Waimanalo Beach and Makapuu Beach.

Waimanalo Beach
Kalama Beach at night.

Kialua is a small town on the east coast of Oahu, well away from the crowds of Honolulu. We rented a house a few blocks from the beach and the kids played there every day.

Busy part of Waikiki on the strip. Fairly old accommodations with a lumpy mattress. One small pool and hot tub area that was always crowded. Overpriced for what you’re getting.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (81 reviews)
Location was outstanding - a very short walk to the best beaches on Oahu (altho a bit too far to walk to town). View from deck is peaceful, but you will hear neighbors. There were a couple maintenance issues to which the manager was responsive.
