Why the Owner Chose Waikiki Shore
The first time I saw # 1314 it knocked me off my feet. It has a bird's eye view of velvet green DeRussy above the palm trees. It has georgous blue ocean views! Mauka and city nightlights; Diamond Head & ocean views from front walkway/door; My first question was literally: "OK, where do I sign?"
The unexpected surprise is usually always: Receive joy vicariously from many very happy guests!
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
Some of the unique benefits of staying at the Waikiki Shore Apartments besides being right on the beach- We are a small community that has it all- everything is just steps away. People get to know each another. Talk to Clarence downstairs about umbrella/board rentals. Say hello to his pal Rascal-our surfing dog and little building mascot! Rascal now even has his own line of boards. Try standup paddle. You can do it! It's all the rage now.
In the morning enjoy your coffed from your own private lanai overlooking paradise. This is a perfect time to hit the sidewalk for a stroll down to the Hilton Hawaiian Village to see the fish and flamingos. Take your camera!
Across the street is the new Trump Tower and Beach Walk Development - Waikiki 's new epic center. You'll find all kinds of shopping, entertainment, great restaurants.
Besides being the only condo on Waikiki Beach, perhaps our other most unique blessing is Fort DeRussy. Fort DeRussy Park is an amazingly beautiful 50 acres of greenbelt shelter amidst city concrete. We couldn't image Waikiki without it. The U.S. Army does a beautiful job maintaining the 50 acre oasis of lawns, flowers, native trees, recreation areas, and walkways. All of our lanais overlook this beautiful park along the shores of Waikiki- surely the best of all worlds.

I moved here from Dallas Texas with my 10 year old American Eskimo in 1999. Having never been to Hawaii, I took a real leap of faith. You'll have to ask me about starting out at the YMCA and 56 trips on the bus to quarantine...Hummm, maybe not?!

We very much enjoyed our stay at Jean's condo. The view from the lanai is wonderful, and the condo was clean and comfortable. Everything you might need for your stay is there. The iPod/iPhone/cd/radio combo was great. The bed is very comfy. Nice to have the washer and dryer -- makes for less to pack. Jean met us there and was very helpful -- especially in helping us find a parking spot. Mahalo for that, Jean. It was great being so close to the beach. Things got a little busy, though, with the APEC event happening when we were there, but we worked through it. We enjoyed the security of the building, too. Lots of good shopping and restaurants close by. We would definitely recommend this condo to anyone visiting Waikiki. Mahalo, Jean, for everything. Norm & Donalda Stanick

We truly enjoyed our stay at the Waikiki Shore. The studio was great for the two of us. Jean was a pleasure to work with and even met us upon our arrival. Everything was as described and pictured. The location overlooking Fort DeRussy cannot be beat. It provides a measure of peace and quiet not found anywhere else in Waikiki as well as a view that few hotels can match. Being on a high floor allowed us to leave the lanai doors open the entire trip. We didn't even need the A/C though it was there if we did. Out the front of the building is everything you will need for dining, shopping and entertainment as well as banks and the post office is right in the park. Out the back you are directly on the beach and the pathway that runs all along Waikiki. We couldn't ask for more. We would definitely recommend this condo to anyone wishing to go to Waikiki. Many thanks again Jean, Aaron and Denise Maple Shade, N.J.

My husband and I spent a week at the Waikiki Shore in February and we loved it. The condo appears smallish at first but we quickly settled in and found it to be perfectly sized with everything you could want for a relaxing stay - and it is right on the beach. The view from the balcony is over the park next door and the west end of Waikiki Beach and is really beautiful. So many Waikiki hotels views are jammed up to the the hotel next door but not this one. We had a great view of the fireworks on Friday night and a Train concert in the park also. It is a short stroll to Waikiki shops and restaurants either along the beach or on the streets. Waikiki is a bustling place (and that is part of the attraction) but it can be noisy at night. We slept with the louvres open to catch the breezes rather than using the airconditioner and you do get used to it. One negative would be that the shower pressure is not great but with so many positives that was a small thing. Thank you Jean for a wonderful stay - we look forward to coming back and would not hesitate to recommend this condo to anyone.
Owner response:Thank you So much Carolina & Howard! I enjoyed meeting you both and look forward to seeing you next time. Your spot will be waiting for you. I'm so glad you all had a great experience here. Hanahou! Jean

Aloha Jean! I just wanted to say Mahalo again for letting us stay at your beautiful condo 9/28/09-10/8/09. My Husband and I loved our Honeymoon stay here. Perfect for 2 people. Very clean and in wonderful area. The lanai was great to watch the sunsets and just sit and watch the Fireworks or the VIEW!! I loved being so close to all the shopping and the delicous food Waikiki has to offer! I hope that we can come back really soon because I miss it already!! Mahalo Again!

Jean, I wanted to write you to thank you again for letting us stay at your place. Having a home base on Waikiki made it fun... walking distance to shopping and restaurants, yet so very nice to be able to come back from our touristing-around to a spot where we could see and hear the ocean and still have cherished privacy. Thanks, too, for keeping your little condo in such good condition—nice fixtures and such. We especially appreciated having the washer-dryer set so handy. We were able to tumble the suitcase wrinkles out of our outfits before hitting the town, and when we ventured off to our next stop--Kauai--we were able to pack only clean clothes. Of all the surprises about Hawaii, I think one of the main details overlooked in the tourist books are the island breezes. Strange to me how often I find my mind wandering back and fixating on that. To me, they seemed a greeting in and of themselves--a welcoming embrace. And it all began at your place. Thanks again. And I should say again that it was indeed a pleasure to meet you personally. Mahalo, Rock Luster

Karen and I have have come to Waikiki a dozen times in the past 10 years. We found Jean's unit two years ago and have stayed twice. We've stopped looking at other buildings and units because this one is perfect for us. We plan to stay here every time we return. This unit has one of the best views and locations in Waikiki. Being right next to Fort Derussey is a huge plus and the unit is high enough to have tremendous views out both the front and the rear. Our favorite place to eat is the Shorebird which is right next door. The new Beachwalk is right around the corner and if you need to have a car, the very best parking deal in Waikiki is in Fort Derussey. There really is no better location in Waikiki!

We stayed in unit 1314 of the Waikiki Shore for one week in September 08 and thought that it was perfect for 2 people. Very comfortable and what a great location. Thank you to Jean Riley for making our vacation rental a very positive experience. It was a pleasure meeting you Jean.
Owner response:Aloha, Randy & Teresa, I enjoyed meeting you too! it always does the heart good to be there when guests arrive. the privilege was mine. Aloha,come back soon- hana hou! Jean Riley

We have stayed twice at the Waikiki Shores and have enjoyed both stays. The condo is somewhat small, but perfect for two. We spent most of our time outside enjoying Hawaii. Everything is close and the beach is just steps away. We enjoyed having pupu's and dinner on the lanai each evening watching the beautiful Hawaiian sunsets as eating out can be expensive in Hawaii. Thank you Jean

Aloha, Richard & Kathy. Thanks so much for staying in # 1314. We do have smaller properties here on the island- welcome to Hawaii where land is scarce, but we'll take quality over quantity! Average hotel rooms are 224 sq. feet and the place at the Waikiki shore is 400 sq. feet. I think it feels bigger to me, becasue I always leave the lanai wide open. And, the bathroom and entry hallway are very spacious by island standards. This building used to be a YWCA. The rooms were dorms and we have these extra high ceilings like they don't do anymore. I used to allow 3 guests, but you're right- perfect for 2 people. 4 people can confortably enjoy the lanai for sunset/fireworks/nightlights. While the ocean goes dark, you can still hear the surf, and all the city and mauka lights go on. Aloha, Richard & Kathy- come back soon- Hana hou! Jean Riley
