Great Condo!

We stayed with kids for 5 nights in Feb 2011 and had a wonderful visit. Great views as advertised, incredibly convenient location to beach, restaurants, attractions. No car necessary. The unit is well stocked and the building has all the amenities of a hotel. And Ernie was a pleasure to deal with. No complaints. We'd definitely stay at again.
Owner response:Aloha Matt,, thank you for your kind words and review of our HOME. Our location really has so much to offer in convenience, family safety, and easy access. We appreciate young family guests such as YOU and yours.. Hope to see you again soon. a hui ho!!

I brought my family along for a part work, part vacation week in Paradise. This condo was fantastic!!! All the reviews and descriptions seem right on. We had our 3 and 5 year old in bedroom # 2 and the Master bedroom was great for us. We had our 16 year old niece on the fold away (quite comfortable) and it still felt like we had plenty of room. Ernie and his wife have gone to great lengths to make sure there is access to everything you may need on your time in Waikiki. The property manager was FABULOUS to deal with (and got us out of a couple of challenging situations - ie locked door). Before our trip I was a little concerned that we may be too far down the Waikiki strip, but as stated in the description, the location is perfect. Close to everything and at the same time, you get a little of a feel that you are removed from the bustle by the unobstructed Diamond Head view (no hotels in sight that direction). At the same time, you can go to another window and look (through hotels) at the beach and all the activity. The parking pass and in and out ability was a really big plus as well. Internet in room (and in business lounge on the 6th floor) was great and allowed me to work as normal. With this condo, you get all the pluses of a hotel stay (except we had to make our own bed ;o) ) plus the cozy feel of staying in a larger residence. I hope we can come back!!

Our family (Parents + 3 kids) stayed here for 3 wonderful nights. The place is immaculate with a spectacular view of Diamond Head. It was out of the Waikiki chaos but an easy walk to the beach, shopping and fun. Parking was convenient and they have beach mats, boogie boards and other goodies available. Our youngest (8) slept on the couch and it worked out just fine. We would highly recommend it and when we return to Waikiki we will stay there again.

Uncle Ernie provided a great environment for our family fun. A well stocked condo, Hawaiian furnishings, a good kitchen with super pots ,pans & utensils. And its close to the Bus on Kuhio,& has a quiet view of Diamond Head over a huge school ground. The building was well kept,I liked the internet access on the 6th floor after the kids took their computer home ( the condo has access if you take your own computer). The agent was approachable , I felt that she would help if I needed anything. A good holiday!
Owner response:Aloha Susie,, thank you for your nice comments. I'm sure you and your family were anxious to get away from the Olympic crowds in Vancouver. Glad you enjoyed your holiday. mahalo and Please come again - a hui ho.

My family and I stayed at Ernie and Diane's place 4/1-4/6/09. The condo was conveniently located with all the amenities needed. The laundry room was close, so very convenient. Loved having a full kitchen available for quick meals morning, day or night. The view of Diamond Head from the lanai was absolutely beautiful! Ernie and Diane were very gracious hosts, and made us feel welcomed as ohana from the moment we arrived. Great value overall...we will definately return for our Oahu vacations!

Ernie is absolutely one of the most gracious hosts you will find. He goes the extra mile to make sure that your stay is comfortable from the get go - even going so far as to prepare holiday treats that guests can snack on upon arrival. The apartment is clean, well-kept, and less than a 2 minute walk from Waikiki Beach. Five stars...will be back.

What a perfect place to stay on our vacation! Great place to hang after a truly exhausting day at the beach, surfing, tanning,tanning, tanning, etc... Our kids enjoyed the convenience of having a place to cook the comfort food of home. Supermarkets, Leonard's (Malassada's), the "Waikiki Strip",shopping, Ala Moana Mall (and all sorts of other shopping!) are conveniently located. There is no shortage of great restaurants along the strip. The view of the moon illuminating Diamond Head is spectacular! Thank you for providing all the amenities of home and all the necessities for a comfortable stay while in this paradise!
