Truly a home away from home in paradise! Myself and my 2 teenage daughters had a 2 week stay here. We loved it! The location of the condo is on the beach with a beautiful of the sunset every day. It was magical. It was also close to all the happenings in Waikiki - restaurants, shopping, access to bus/trolley services. The condo is exactly as described, clean and well maintained. Communication with the owner was easy and he was very helpful. We will definitely stay here when we return!

Thank you again Trieu for a wonderful stay at your lovely condo. This is our third time at your apartment and each time we have found it great. It is always spotlessly clean, well maintained and very comfortable. The location and view spectacular. We look forward to our next visit in 2012!

My experience at this condo was fabulous! It has an unobstructed view of the ocean to the south and a great view of the mountains to the north. It is an end unit which is very nice for privacy. It has everything a person needs ie; cookware & plateware, cable, phone, private balcony, large bedrooms & living/ dining room, contemporary kitchen and a private parking space. It truly feels like home and I forgot I was just visiting. The beach is directly in back of the building which makes it a short walk to the ocean or restaurants. Also it is a short walk for all the shopping in downtown Waikiki. The owner makes sure you are taken care of and all of your needs. This unit is the only one for me when I come back! You will not be disappointed.

This was our first time as a family going to Waikiki and I have to say that Trieu's condo is simply perfect. A short elevator ride down and you're on the beach !! The complex has convenient stores on the lower level and the grounds are always clean. Trieu has everything a family needs in his condo to make your stay comfortable. We loved the fact that there is a washer & dryer in the unit and many other things that you'd have in your own home. This location is also perfect due to it's close proximity to major shopping and restaurants. No need to drive unless your plans include going around the island or getting to some of the other popular tourist attractions. We loved our stay at Trieu's place and will definitely be back soon. Thanks Trieu !! Roger & family El Segundo, CA.

We stayed here for 2 weeks and loved every minute. Trieu has thought of everything a family needs when away from home. Also the location is perfect--you are near the beach, plenty of shopping and restaurants are just steps away. This condo was the nicest place we have ever stayed during our 11 visits to Waikiki. I'm so glad we discovered "Trieu's place".

Fantastic,well equipped condo for family with young children, excellent location

Date of Stay: 03/28/10 Review Submitted: 04/08/10

We had the pleasure of staying in this condo for 6 nights after a long flight from Australia with our kids, 4yo, 2yo and 12mo. Trieu did everything he could to make our trip go smoothly and even ensured we had a few basic provisions for when we arrived. The kids loved the big beds and got heaps of use out of the boogie boards and sand toys. It was fantastic having a portacot and highchair there for our use as well. All the beds were soooo comfortable, too-if you don't have kids waking you up all night, make sure you close the blinds and have a long lie-in. The condo was extremely well equipped and everything had been thought of, right down to everything you needed to clean up (I hate it when you go somewhere and you have to buy dishwashing liquid and a cleaning cloth just for a week). Kitchen facilities, washer and dryer were all excellent quality and made life so much easier for us. There were plenty of towels, beach mats-didn't have to worry about anything we needed for the beach except our swimmers. Great location, excellent beach for kids and easy access-so glad we were staying here and not the Outrigger next door as the view was amazing. Thanks so much, Trieu for an amazing introduction to Hawaii and for your hospitality. I hope we can come back and stay again soon (for longer!)

My husband and I stayed here for 1 week and the condo surpassed our expectations. The photos of the views don't do it justice. We loved waking up and having breakfast on the Lanai. The condo's interior is made of high quality materials and are as nice as any upscale hotel. The location is right on the beach and is within a short walk of several fun restaurants and lots of shopping. This was our 5th trip to Hawaii and I wish we found this place sooner. We plan on staying here from now on.

Another great stay! This is our 6th stay at this condo. The location and views are unmatched. We start and end each day on the lanai: coffee in the mornings, wine in the evenings. We love the convienence of the kitchen. We return to this condo because it is comfortable, beautifully decorated, and spacious, but mostly because of Trieu's attention to details and helpfullness. Need a suggestion for some local flavor?........ask Trieu. We'll be back - See you soon Trieu!

We recently returned from a one week stay at this condo. The views arespectacular. We enjoyed amazing ocean views. The posted pictures don’t come close to illustrating the true beauty and picturesque scenes we had the pleasure of experiencing. In addition, sitting at the dining table in theevening viewing the mountains and illuminated city skyline was breathtaking. The condo is the only complex on the beach. Trieu welcomed us with little tastes of Hawaii and we were given an assigned underground parking space. The condo is a fantastic place. We can’t imagine wanting to stay anywhere else on Oahu. Absolutely fabulous. We loved every minute there.

We stayed in this condo for 10 days in July. It was a wonderful vacation and the condo was great. The condo is in an excellent location and the views from it were awesome. Trieu was very helpful. Waikiki Beach is a great place to stay while visiting Oahu. There are many fabulous beaches and other breath-taking sites in Oahu. We love Oahu and are looking forward to our next visit and stay at this condo.

I have stayed here many times over the years and I’ve come to think of this place as my home away from home while visiting the island. It is 5 star-living without all the shenanigans associated with the hotels. The condo has absolutely everything you need to be comfortable and comes with a huge parking space. The location is perfect too-right on the beach and in Waikiki. I highly recommend this place. Thanks Trieu for all your hospitality over the years!

Comment Text: Our family has just returned from a most enjoyable 14 night holiday in Hawaii, staying at Trieu Wilsons 2 bedroom apartment at the Waikiki Shore. The Condo was very clean and tastefully decorated. The kitchen was very well stocked with kitchen utensils, and the applicances were very up to date. Bed and bath linens were in plentiful supply, and it was a nice touch to have use of beach chairs and snorkelling equipment etc if needed. The view from the 11th floor is great, with the benefit of both sea and city views. We have previoulsy stayed in other condos operated by Castle Hotels in this building, and this condo more than surpasses them all. A big thank you Trieu for the efficient and friendly way that you dealt with our booking through VRBO, and your hospitality upon greeting us on our arrival and our departure. We would throughly recommend this condo to anyone, and will definelty return on our next holiday to Hawaii.

Our stay at this condo was amazing. An elevator ride down to the beach, breath taking view, and great location. The condo was beautiful, clean, very secure, and more than we could have asked for. If we are ever back in Oahu I would definitely stay here again! Thanks Trieu!

My family and I enjoyed this condo when we came in January and would definitely recommend this to anyone. So many great things to say. To begin, a warm welcome from Trieu. Nice guy by the way. In addition, the view from lanai was breathtaking and gorgeous. Don't miss out on the fireworks on Friday night. Not to mention a short stroll to the beach as well as to the restaurants and shops. We also enjoyed grilling during the evening at the bbq pits next to the beachwalk. Will make plans to come back for our next retreat! Thanks Trieu!

We had a fantastic stay at the condo, all 5 of us. There was plenty of room for everybody, and we cooked all of our meals "at home"- everything we could need was at our fingertips. The view is absolutely amazing, and we often sat outside for coffie in the morning and again to watch the sunset. Thank you for the delightful time we spent at your rental!! We will definitely return!

This is a great condo. I stayed with my husband, daughter and a friend during Feb. '09. The parking space was a huge benefit! The condo is clean, safe, and in a prime location. Sun, a sandy beach, and food are directly downstairs. We walked down a long beach to Diamond Head and back up the boulevard full of shops & restaurants daily. Kapiolani Park offers a green space w/quiet and Hanauma Bay is close by for snorkeling. The 2nd bedroom, kitchen, and washer/dryer were a big help. No Worries! Just relax and enjoy the sun here.

I love this condo!! Location is great! Comes with a parking space. Also have a guest parking for free. Has all the amenities you can think of. There is a beach right in front of it and you can also sneak in to one of Halekulani's pools and have drinks there too. Haha! When my parents came to visit me from Japan, that was their first time they rented a condo. My dad is a pretty picky person when it comes to hotels/condos, but he was amazed that the condo looks so clean and beautiful, very spacious and VERY COMFORTABLE!! One thing that they rally liked was the size of the living room. It is huge for condo that sits right in the middle of Waikiki. And amazing thing is that you can see the sunset from the living room sitting the couch with some wine in your hand!! Ahh!!So nice!!! All and all, I love everything about this condo!! I can proudly recommend to all the picky Japanese people and I am 100% sure that they'll love it!!!! Because I love it!!!!

As a retired couple we have been spending a month at the condo for about 8 years now. Every time we enjoy our stay very much and it truly feels like "home" to us. The condo is equipped with everything that is needed and very nicely furnished. The views are breathtaking and we have spent many happy hours on the lanai. The transportation is excellent in Oahu and rather inexpensive. The busstops are very close to the apartment and renting a car is not even necessary. Very good restaurants are close by and beautiful stores are within walking distance for a great shopping experience. The lovely beach is just a ride with the elevator away from your front door and most enjoyable. The owner is a very good host and keeps things running well. We hope to spend many more vacations in "paradise". Ezra and Hermina Theys San Mateo California

Our family truly enjoyed our vacation experience at this comfy Waikiki condo. Great "downtown" location with an awesome park and ocean view, right on the beach! We cooked turkey and had all the necessary utensils for making a nice Christmas Dinner. Trieu is an accommodating and caring host and our family was impressed with his attentiveness. Thanks, Trieu, we hope to have an opportunity to return!
