Must SeeTop 10 Florida Condos For Sale

Many beach lovers are familiar with Kailua, on the Hawaiian island of Oahu, since it is President Obama’s favorite Christmas family vacation spot. The beach that their vacation rental overlooks is one of the most beautiful in the world. But Kailua has a secret that few know and which is rarely let out of the bag - Lanikai. A hidden elite residential enclave with only one entrance and accessed over a rise above the easternmost end of Kailua Beach, it is surrounded by mountains, guaranteeing ultimate privacy and quiet. From the years before statehood when celebrities like Ozzie and Harriet Nelson, Ricky and David rented the old Hawaii-styled mansion on the beach and hung out with the neighbors, to today when the mansions are 21st century and celebrities sneak in and out with their bodyguards, Lanikai is home to Oahu’s prettiest beach.

Now for sale is a two-story residence above the rest, at the end of the enclave, built into the side of the mountain rising from the end of the beach, only steps below. Views over the Pacific and the two Mokulua islands are arguably the best on the island. A cutting edge contemporary of 7,473 square feet on 2.63 gated acres, the home has five bedrooms, seven baths, a poolside pavilion, gym with sauna, guest-entertainment suite, office, media room, infinity pool, sun deck lounge with jacuzzi and three-car garage and additional parking for six. Built in 2014 with luxury materials and fixtures imported from Italy and Germany, the open concept and vanishing threshold between indoors and out is perfect for entertaining. Priced at $18.5 million.
