We loved staying here. It was such a fantastic place to unwind and enjoy the comforts of staying in a very well appointed and maintained apartment. I was not prepared for the luxuries this apartment has to offer! The bed is very comfortable, everything within walking distance. We even snorkeled and went on a catamaran ride. This is a beautiful place that we will recommend to all of our friends and family.

My husband and I stayed in this beautiful condo in June. All I can say is it was fabulous!! The furnishings, amenities were awesome. The owner, Roger, is a perfectionist and makes sure that not one thing is missing. Coffee maker, toaster, microwave all stocked in the kitchen, we like eating in on vacation and everything I needed was there. Beach towels, beach chairs, boogie boards, beach mats are provided. Location is unbeatable. We didn't even rent a car because you can walk everywhere. The entire wall of windows open to bring in the trade winds....laying in bed looking out all you see are stars...and with the wind, and ocean waves, it was like sleeping outside! Don't hesitate in renting here. You will not be disappointed. We can't wait to return next year!!

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Rogers Apartment. The suite was well appointed and very comfortable, and the owner's Oahu tips were very helpful. While staying here you are no more than a quick walk to Waikiki Beach, the zoo and the aquarium. And it only takes ten to fifteen minutes by bus to reach Diamond Head or Ala Moana Shopping Center. It is an ideal location at a reasonable price and we highly recommend it.

My family of four had a great stay in your condo. We loved the location and the great view. The 2 TV's and full kitchen were wonderful. Everything was in great shape and well planned out and cared for. We will stay here when in the area again.

This condo is a real find! Situated in a fully serviced apartment block gives you the advantage of having an activities desk and other services to make your holiday special. Plus the complex has a rental car company if we wanted a car. It is so well located. Just a hop skip and jump to Ala Moana Shopping Center, right next to a very lovely beach makes for one of the best views. If you do need to go further the bus service stops right outside the complex. the furnishing are very nice and contemporary-the owner is very thoughtful and helpful. We highly recommend this condo and can't wait for our next stay there.

Great Condo and great view! Location is excellent and close to everything off Waikiki. Roger was very accomadating and easy to work with in making arrangements for our stay. Access was fine and felt very secure. Beds were very comfortable and condo was spotless when we arrived. Definately recommended and price was very competitive.

We were referred to this place by another friend. We were not disappointed at all upon arrival nor during our stay. This is definitely a great location. Close enough to Waikiki, but far enough away from the hecticness. there are also many restaurants and stores available close by. You are close to golf courses and other beaches. the only down side was that we eventually had to leave our piece of paradise and come home to snow. We would definitely recommend this place and would also come back if we found ourselves in Oahu again.

My wife and I recently stayed at the beautiful Diamond Head Apartment. We can honestly say that it was one of the greatest vacations of our lives- thanks in no small part to the staff and this PERFECT home in paradise. the location was perfect, the hospitality was second to none and the convenience and privacy was exactly what we needed after our action-packed days. The private beach was the perfect oasis for us and the apartment itself provided more than enough room for us. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to experience Hawaii.

What a wonderful relaxing stay we had here. Everything one could want in a vacation rental. The view alone made our stay exceptional. Not to mention having all the comforts of your own home. Not that we do much cooking while on vacation but we do like to have some meals in and what a pleasure to have a full kitchen to do it in. Although this is a studio it is spacious and has so much more than any hotel room has ever offered us. Truely all the comforts of home. But that's not the best part of it. The beach fronting this building has got to be one of the most beautiful beach's in the islands if not the world. And to think your sitting right on top of it and it's like having your own private oasis. You have got to experience it to know what i am trying to tell you here. It is just to fabulous for words. Over the years we have made several trips to the islands but this is by far our best visit yet. This apartment is located in a beauitful building at the end of Waikiki outside of the hussel and bussel so you have the peace and quite that we didn't expericence when staying in a hotel just a few blocks away. We well be back again next year and the best part is we already know where we will be staying. That sure makes life a lot eaiser when planning a vacation, why not give it a try yourself. You won't be disappointed.

Everything is as promised, the owner was wonderful and very helpful. The location is so convenient to get anywhere on the island. very nice, safe neighborhood. We loved the ocean. We had our friends come and spend the day on the beach. I could go on and on, everything was perfect. We will be back to this house again.

My parents, sister and i stayed at the above Condo. My mom and sister stayed for the first week and Dad and I stayed on for the second week. The Condo is tastefully decorated, well kept, and with plenty of room for the four of us. The view of the ocean and beyond is spectacular. We like to cook and were able to do that easily as the kitchen was well equipped for four. it was very special to dine on the lanai with a view. P.S This is the best value.

This was a great property. It was clean and well cared for and just as described in the advertisement. The location is central to everything on the island, nothing seemed to far away. Safeway and other amenities were literally a few blocks away. the staff were great! they were attentative when needed and invisible when not. Some of our family members visited Pearl Harbor, golfed went to the Swap Meet, learned to surf at Waikiki, snorkeled at Hanauma Bay and toured the Dole Pineapple Plantation, bust most of the time we went to the beach everyday. We ate all our meals at the house and that cut down on costs a lot. The house had everything we needed for the beach. they had boogie boards, beach chairs, beach mats and an endless number of beach towels. the washer and dryer made it easy to bring less clothes along now that the airlines are charging for the second checked bag. In the evenings we played games or watched TV. I would definitely return to this property the next time we visit Oahu. everyone had a wonderful time and went back to the Mainland with great memories.

Thank you Roger for the wonderful stay in your apartment. To Future Prospective Guest: Do not hesitate, or be worried, this is a very pleasant place in a safe are in Diamond Head. It is not far from Waikiki. This apartment has all the amenities, the only thing missing if you need it is a blender. Great plumeria tree in the back, a real treat for us. We looked at other areas such as north shore and Kailua, we concluded that this was the right place, absolutely wonderful. If we can in the future, we will come back.

This property is very clean, fully stocked. and perfect for adults. I would highly recommend this property and plan on staying there again in the future. The apartment is located in a quiet neighborhood and is on the beach-perfect for children to play in the sand and look for hermit crabs! It's also a 10 minute walk to plenty of restaurants.

We stayed in Roger's apartment for a month and I can say without a doubt this is the best location and the best building in town. The view is spectacular, the building is very upscale, and Roger took wonderful care of me and my husband. The apartment was immaculate, with lovely furniture, beautiful kitchen and bathroom. Even the sheets and towels are first rate. Being a long time resident, Roger can tell you where to find just about anything. The best beach, the best restaurant, the best shopping, where to buy good local produce and of course where to have a cocktail while enjoying the sunset! The building is right on the water, with its own private beach. Nice! It's within walking distance of Waikiki but at the same time, far enough away so that you don't get the traffic and party noise all night. We plan to come back next time we visit Hawaii. Hopefully soon!

This prime location is tops for convienience to shopping, restaurants, travel, beaches and safety. the furnishings and household goods were in top condition and plentiful. The arrangement of the kitchen and dining area were efficient. The beach is lovely and clean. The staff were great and made us feel relaxed and comfortable. We have traveled the world and i would say this place, plus Roger, made this particular vacation as one of our best. We hope to put together another trip at the same spot in the future.
