LanikaiBed&Breakfast ★ This old-time bed-and-breakfast, a kamaaina home that reflects
the Hawaii of yesteryear, is now into its second generation of owners. The 1,000-square-foot
upstairs apartment, which easily accommodates four, is decorated in Old Hawaii bungalow
style. There's a king-size bed in one bedroom, twin beds in the other bedroom, a large living/
dining room, a big bathroom, a kitchenette, and all the modern conveniences (such as DVD
players), plus oversize windows to let you enjoy the wonderful views. Or you can follow the
ginger- and ti-lined path to a 540-square-foot honeymooner's delight, a quaint studio with
a huge patio outside and queen-size bed and sitting area with DVD/VCR combo, cordless
phone, answering machine, and recently remodeled full-size kitchen. The units are stocked
with breakfast fixings (bagels, juice, fruit, coffee, tea) and all the beach equipment you'll need
(towels, mats, chairs, coolers, water jugs). If the B&B is booked, the website lists other accom-
modations around Lanikai-Kailua.

ParadiseBayResort Formerly Schrader's Windward Country Inn, this resort changed own-
ership in 2010. Since the purchase, the new owners have been doing a full remodel of the
property: All of the rooms and cottages have new plumbing and wiring, hardwood and slate
floors, and new furniture. There are plans to add a spa in the future. The property is nestled
in a tranquil, tropical setting on Kaneohe Bay, only a 40-minute drive from Waikiki. The com-
plex is made up of cottage-style motels and a collection of older homes, as well as a picnic area
with barbecue grills. The cottages contain either a kitchenette with refrigerator and microwave
or a full kitchen. Prices are based on the views: Depending how much you're willing to pay,
you can look out over a Kahuluu fishpond, the Koolau Mountains, or Kaneohe Bay. Waters-
ports are available at an additional cost; don't miss the complimentary 2-hour boat cruise with
snorkeling and kayaking. Evening activities include a dinner and Hawaiian music night and
mojito party night with free pupu. Tip: When booking, ask for a unit with a lanai; that way
you'll end up with at least a partial view of the bay.
