Aloha Waikiki

My wife and I returned to Oahu after about 20 years, bringing my mother along for her 75th birthday. We had a perfect stay and Jean was a pleasure to work with. The unit was clean and well-stocked. The design of Waikiki Shore allows a view along the entire stretch of Waikiki and Honolulu from Diamond Head on one side to the Hilton and beyond on the other side. It was great to literally walk right on the beach. The unit is nearly at the ocean end of the building. We would definitely return, hopefully in less than 20 years, and would recommend this unit to family and friends. Although my wife and Mom are not fans of high places (I love it), they got used to it with the incredible view every day right in front of you. Jean, mahalo and kind regards.

Owner response:Aloha, Jon... Thank you so much and I'm so glad that great memeories still linger from your September visit to 1402! I really enjoyed meeting you and your wife and Mom. They're so blessed because you treat them so well on your anniversary and your Mother's birthday if I remember correctly. Thank you too, for taking such beautiful care of everything. Hope to see you all sooner than 20 years. We'll be here. Best wishes and Aloha, Jean R.

Not cheap, but worth every penny. The apartment is modern and well furnished, will all facilities provided. The best feature is of course the view, to both east and west. Many of the premier hotels in Waikiki will cost you a lot more for an inferior view. Watching the sunset from the spacious lanai while sipping your afternoon libation is guaranteed to bring down your stress levels! The location is also ideal for beach and shopping access. Thoroughly recommended. Mahalo to Jean for facilitating our all-too-brief stay.

Heaven in Waikiki

My husband, 12 & 15 year old kids & I spent a wonderful vacation in this condo. I am super picky and was so happy with the place! Great location -you can walk everywhere. The views are phenomenal The beds where very comfortable with very nice bedding. The master bedroom was very private & the second bedroom is seperated from the living room by very nice Japanese track doors. Privacy with a family was not an issue but 2 couples who want to be romantic would be a problem! The kitchen was beautiful and stocked with everything you need to cook a great meal. If you surf don't rent in front of the condo as it's expensive! We used a company called Bruddas. They delivered & picked up the surfboard for $50 for 5 days! I would not hesitate to rent this unit. The worst part was having to leave!

We spend a wonderful vacation in the Waikiki Shore 2/2 exclusive Beachfront condo. The view from the condo could not be better. The condo is equipped with everything you need and is very well maintained. The decoration of the rooms was tastfully done. We especialy liked the location of the Waikiki shore. We have been for several times in Waikiki and we truly believe that the Waikiki shore location is one of the best. You have the peace to look out to the silent ocean and almost in your backyard are all the restaurants and shopping areas which makes Waikiki so popular. Thank you, Jean, for taking care of us so well. We could all feel that you want us to have a great vacation. I can really recommend this condominium

We stayed in Jean's wonderful Waikiki Shore apartment in July this year and had a wonderful week with everything we needed provided. The condo is in the perfect position for the beach and the shops with everything within easy walking distance. The apartment itself has been renovated beautifully and was clean, comfortable and with the best view in Waikiki. I would have no hesitation recommending it for anyone looking for a great place to stay.

Owner response:Dear Bernice, Thank so much for the 5 star rating! I enjoyed meeting you and your family- hope to see you again. I agree with you 100%, except for one small detail - I am the owner's agent & can't take credit for the beautiful way that 1402 has been furnished. Glad you all enjoyed it. Come back soon!

My son and I stayed with some friends in this well appointed condo 10/09, and fell in love with it. Not only is its location perfect, it being the ENTIRE with of the building gives a real sense of geographic location, with views of both Diamond Head and spectacular sunsets. Not to mention the fire works on the weekend and my son LOVED looking down at the real helicopter on the museum grounds. The atmosphere is the thing I love most about this Waikiki condo. So tastefully done in rich warm tones with great textile and sculptural choices.

4 of us stayed in this condo in September 2008. The condo is beautiful with a spectacular view. Was close to shopping and on the main beach. Jean was helpful and great to deal with.

Perfect place for our family!

Everything about this condo is perfect, and our experience with the entire process was convenient and easy. We kept the doors opened (weather was neither hot, or cold!) and all night enjoyed sounds of the ocean waves - being on the 14th floor also allowed us a beautiful view! We were able to hang out together, make breakfast - eating on the lania, and the location allowed us to easily walk to nice dinners, shopping and the beach. Parking was easily accessed as well. We will definitely look to rent this condo again, whenever we have the priviledge of returning. Thank you for the clean, well-maintained accommodations!

Waikiki condo on the beach

My wife, 3 kids, and I enjoyed 17 fun filled days at the Waikiki shore condo. The accommodations and services were wonderful. Never before has my family and I stayed at such a clean, well kept, well decorated, and modern place before. It truly was our home away from home and would definitely recommend this property. The wonderful accommodations were only part of the story. Our agent did a terrific job at welcoming us and making us feel right at home. She went above and beyond the call of duty and was there for us when we had questions...and believe me, we had lot of questions. She demonstrated professionalism, and is genuinely good natured person. She also demonstrated incredible flexibility in accommodating us with our flight schedule, and for that we are grateful. Simply put, accommodations, agent services, location were outstanding and deserve the highest marks. Thanks again for a memorable family vacation.

Our group of six (plus a 1 year old)stayed in this beautiful ocean front condo May 10-17, 2008. What a fabulous view and the furnishings inside were elegant and comfortable. The best thing was sitting on the lanai and having your morning coffee and afternoon cocktail. The location is so convenient to all the shops & restaurants in waikiki. Can't wait to come back.....

This unit was incredible! Our family of 4 was very comfortable in this unit (a 3 year old and 15 year old). We wish we could have stayed longer! The location was outstanding, quite literally on the beach. The views were spectacular, the lanai fabulous, and a great place to see the Friday night fireworks. The property manager met us on site when we arrived, made sure we knew how everything in the unit worked, and gave us great tips on good places to eat (and places to avoid), and where to pick up a few groceries. I would stay in this unit in a heartbeat - it was well worth it!

I stayed in this condo for 10 glorious days. The pictures don't come close to doing it justice, and I thought they looked great! The location was perfect, very secure, the view fabulous, the amenties were all top line and the decor and comfort top notch. My family and I felt like we were "at home." I will definitely stay at this residence again should I have the opportunity to return to Waikiki in the not so distant future.
