The ONLY way to see Oahu.

This was absolutely, hands down, the only and best way to see Oahu. Most travelers stay in Waikiki and with the exception of a few side trips, pretty much only see Waikiki. If you rent a van from Brad and Jill, you will see Waikiki if you want but SO SO much more. You'll be cruising next to locals, sleeping with the waves practically touching the van and you will probably never stay in Waikiki hotels again. We rented Daisy for a week in March. Jill was 9 months pregnant and due to have twins any day. But that did not hinder the amazing customer service that they provided. Brad was beyond helpful and accommodating despite the fact that his wife was due any minute! When we first arrived, Daisy wasn't quite ready for the road so we stayed a night in Tiki. The next day, we brought Tiki back and swapped her out for Daisy. Both vans were incredible but Daisy, we love you!!! Brad and Jill stock the van with everything you could possibly need for your vacation. Beach towels, snorkeling gear, boogie boards, lawn chairs, kitchen amenities, the works! The vans are very well taken care of and run great. And the decor is chic and adorable. Nothing like you'd expect in a VW camper van. They are a home away from home. Your hotel and your rental car, all in one! I could go on for days about the experience but all I can say is that there is NOTHING better than waking up, popping open the back of the van and seeing the ocean just beyond your toes. It was the most unique and relaxing way to experience the beauty of Oahu. As a young couple, we definitely felt the romantic aspect of cozying up in a van together. We loved cruising the island and had no trouble finding camping spots. We even stayed one night in a hotel for a good shower but found ourselves missing Daisy!!! It was unforgettable and we can't wait to go back. It's going to be our March yearly tradition. Thank you Brad and Jill for an amazing experience and congrats on the twins!!! Lindsay & Daniel

I rented Daisy as a gift for my bf. We live on Oahu and have traveled all over the islands but nothing has been more romantic than the weekend we spent with Daisy. We parked her right on the ocean's edge just past Sandy's beach the first night where we bbq'd while watching fishermen throw their nets into the water. We awoke to the waves crashing and a beautiful sunrise. We then drove her to Yokohama Bay where we again parked her on the ocean's edge and played in the beach and bbq'd and visited with the locals. The next morning we awoke to a beach all to ourselves!! Oh boy!! We spent the next two and a half hours thinking we were the luckiest ppl alive. We loved the van. We didn't need to bring a thing. Jill has thought of everything! It is super clean and very groovy! We loved all the cute dishes and furry pillows. There is nothing like waking up to the sound of the waves crashing with the one that you love! Buy some yummy food and you're good to go! Or you could stop along your way at some of the amazing places only Oahu has to offer(Ted's Bakery has a shrimp special that comes with a free piece of pie our of your choice that is onolicious! And my favorite shrimp truck located in Haleiwa is Mackey's, best breakfast on the island is Cinnamon's in Kailua(amazing crab cake eggs Benedict and carrot cake pancakes). You can take the van to Kailua and kayak to The Mokes and have a yummy breakfast at Cinnamon's! The opportunities are endless!

Owner response:You guys will always be special to us because we tried to get you into so many different weekends and we were always booked...but the weekend you did check in was our babies "Birth Day" Thanks for being patient and I'm so glad you had a great time...I would say lets get together some time but now that we have twins no one wants to be our friends!!! Heck I don't even want to be my friend most days:) Hope to see you back again some time...Aloha Jill, Brad, Brody & Remi

Dear Jill & Brad, My girlfriend surprised me with a weekend with Daisy back in April and we had SOOO MUCH FUN!! We live here and camp all over but having Daisy was a GREAT way to spend a fun and romantic weekend from one end of the island to the other. The camper was wonderfully equipped with everything we needed for all the BBQ'ing and cooking that we did. We enjoyed candle lit dinners and being able to plug the ipod into the stereo to listen to whatever, whenever! I am looking forward to renting Daisy or one of the other campers again but for longer than 3 days next time!! Thank you both for helping my GF make my birthday one to remember!! Much aloha

Thanks Daisy, Jill and Brad! Wehad an awesome time and really enjoyed exploring the island.Driving the coast was amazing. Definatly stop for chocolate pis at Ted's Bakery soooo yummy! Haleiwa was our favorite town and spent most of our time on the N.Shore. Driving up the east coast was beautiful. Sharks Cove was the best snorkeling and blew Hanama Bay out of the water! Thank you for the awesome memories:)

My husband and I's 1st vacation ALONE- no kids- 20 years- but what a great one!! To say my husband is not a camper is an understatemeny but, Daisy was like our own comfy beach bungalo. !st night we stayed in Ko'olina parking lot near some shops for early morning snorkeling- perfect and quite- so after full day of snorkeling and then Laua @ Paradise Cove, we stayed in the same place :) Ko'olina had great swimming in the lagoon area and we also ventured up for some hot tub and pool and fresh water rinse- it was perfect. Took Daist to Friends of Meleakahna campground. Showers were great. We played cards and awoke to a beautiful sunrise! What a fabulous vacation! Thanks/Mahalo

This has been a vacation of a lifetime for us; perfect, beautiful memories of special time together. Many thanks to Jill & Brad for providing this opportunity. The van has everything we needed and was so comfortable. We spent our first night at Sandy's Beach. We got a late stare so it was dark by the time we arrived. We were grateful for the good directions and easy to find location. We were amazed at the beautiful waterfront we woke up to. We spent a bit to much time body surfing and ended up burnt despite sunscreen, we we were seeking shade for our next night. We ended up at Ho'omaluhia Botanical Gardens in Kaneohe. The scenery is nothing short of spectacular, and it provided the break from the sun we needed. The bathrooms are clean and well maintained, and the campground is secure. The negative to Ho'omaluhia is that they close the gates at 6:30 pm, so this limits your night time activities. It gets dark early here anyway, so we didn't mind. It was the nicest FREE campground we have ever stayed at. The scenery makes you fell as though you were in Jurassic Park or on the island from Lost (well you actually are!) They only have weekend camping and they issue their own permits. Great place we highly recommend for a sun/sand break. Makapu point, across from Sea land, is a beautiful spot too! Thanks Jill & Brad !!!!

Aloha! Daisy was a dream! What a great way to see the island. We were able to bomb all around with our house on our back! Sandy Beach was by far our favorite place to stay, beautiful sunrise! Lots of other great spots too! We love Kaena..just stay at the very end, not near Dillingham! We will be back for more, maybe next time with the kids! Zeb & Kasey Wanatchee, WA

Aloha! We spent an adventure filled week in Daisy! From Waikiki to the N.Shore and back again. Some tips: Dole Plantation for some pinapple! There are lot's of places to stay in Haleiwa, just try to park on unpaved areas and you shouldn't be hasseled! Make sure to try some shave ice when your here! it's awesome-ask for beans with it, you'll be pleasantly surprised! Take the 83 around the island lot's of places to stop & Admire! Spent a couple of nights at Sandy Beach! Haunauma Bay is a must see! great snorkeling! We had a blast! Jessie and Jason White Rock, B.C. Canada
