Update on my trip.. I am still planning on going next summer and now it looks like we have decided to go to Lanikai Oahu. I have heard a lot of people and reports that it is the best part of Oahu. So now I just need to find accomidations there.. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Personally I think the windward side is the best and Lanikai is great. There are no hotels or resorts anywhere in the area, Lanikai is a residential area. The only thing you can do is rent a vacation home. Check out the sites I listed in this thread a few months ago for possible suggestions. If you can't find anything I will try to make some inquiries.
If you do find something you will need to rent a car at HNL and drive there. You'll also need it for meals as the only restaurants are in neighboring Kailua. There are no shops, businesses or stores of any kind in Lanikai but there are several nice places to eat (and fast food) as well as a Safeway in Kailua.

I agree, we stayed on that side as well (in Kailua? I can't remember). It was very relaxing, the beach was beautiful, fine, white sand.
My only regret is spending an afternoon at Haunauma (sp?) Bay. Recommended by many, but highly disappointing, crowded, beach not that nice, if you want to snorkel there must be other places that are way nicer. Just my opinion... [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif[/img]
Thanks for the info, I think we will love that side of Oahu as well. I have been to Haunama Bay myself and to be honest, we didnt care for it either. The fish were to aggresive and the beach is way over crowded.
Randy, I will keep checking on those house rentals and I hope to find something. Keep in mind, I am trying to accomodate 4 adults and 7 children. I will most likely have to rent two places. I am just hoping to get them close to each other.
Thanks guys,

If you find a house to rent, ask the owner or management co. if the neighbors home is also for rent.Most rental owners know which other homes in the area are rentals.This way you will get 2 homes in the same area.Possibly next door to each other. (my suggestion is go directly thru the owners, much better rates).
I have a rental home near Disneyworld, and I frequently get asked for 2 homes.
By the way, you will love staying in a home rather than a hotel. As I say your don't live in 1 room at home, why should you stay in 1 room on vacation.
Another thought...
As you're looking for properties include Kailua beach as well. It's the connecting beach just to the west and very nice. Kailua beach also has a park with bathroom and rinse facilities and a large green for picnics.

I found this site if anyone else is looking. I think I might be able to find something on it.

Aggressive fish? Overcrowded beach? Coincidence? I think not! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

Mig, you don't miss a thing, do you?
Since you left us hanging, I'm dying to hear your conspiracy theory on that one... [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]
