  It was a wonderful holiday and a wonderful experience in our lives. This piece of paradise will remain forever in our hearts. Very clean little cottage for two, stunning, magical atmosphere and close to everything (beautiful Kailua beach, Lanikai beach with white sand, Honolulu and Waikiki just 30 minutes)! We have never met such a caring and friendly people like Uncle Dan and Ellie. Thank you very VERY much!!! I am sure we will always be friends and would be happy to take you on a visit to Russia.

  My second time staying at Dan & Ellie's nice "Room with a View" -- this time for six weeks -- was just perfect. Very friendly hosts, clean and quiet room with a world class view from the lanai. This spot is the perfect place to experience the real Oahu, away from the noisy and hectic Waikiki scene. Awesome!!!

  Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

  Owner response: Glad you enjoyed it James. Yeah! If you have to be on Oahu, this is the place to be. See you next year..... uncle dan/ellie

  Thank you Ellie and Uncle Dan for being outstanding hosts. Your warm welcome and the great tips you had made our stay on Oahu unique. The apartement ist just perfect. We enjoyed breakfast and dinner on the lanai and were overtaken by the gorgeous view at the mountains and the bay every time. Coming home after a day at the beach or exploring the North Shore we felt at home. If you are planing a trip to Oahu, this is the place to stay. Quite neighbourhood, outstanding host, friendly neighbours spectacular view. Minutes away from gorgeous beaches....I could continue for hours! Dear Ellie and Uncle Dan, thank you again for having us and hope to see you soon! All the best wishes from Germany Eva and Stefan

  Thank you Dan and Ellie for sharing your beautiful guest room with us. You made us feel so welcome. We enjoyed breakfast each morning on the lanai looking at the mountains and Kaneohe Bay. After spending the day exploring all of Oahu we would come back to the room with a view and feel right at home. We very much appreciated the the time you spent with us answering Island questions, giving directions, and helping us at Kaneohe Yacht Club. You have a great place! Tom and Barb

  Owner response: our pleasure guys. we've been fortunate once again having guests like you. you're always welcome. uncle dan/ellie

  If you are looking for a place to base your vacation while you are visiting Oahu, this is the place for you! First, the location...it seems like you are miles away from the hustle and bustle (traffic!) of Honolulu and Waikiki but in reality you are only a short drive from that side of the island! In fact, NOTHING on Oahu is more than 1 hour from this place. To say that the setting is beautiful is an understatement. From my private lanai I had a beautiful view of the bay and the incredible mountains...literally breathtaking!! It was wonderful to be able to come home to a well equipped suite that included the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in. The owners, Dan and Ellie, were so warm and helpful--they made me feel welcome and helped me with suggestions that made my stay on Oahu so much richer than it would have been had I stayed elsewhere. When I return to the islands, I will not hesitate to return to "A Room With A View."

  Owner response: Wow! Sounds wonderful! I think we'll go out there and try out that bed one of these days ( :-) Glad you enjoyed your stay. I'm gonna have to agree with you concerning the view- you'll not find a view like this, not only on this island, but anywhere in the world. Mom and Dad really scored when they bought this place back in the early 1900's..... uncle dan/ellie

  My wife and I spent the month of March, 2012, in the "room with a view." We found the room to be just as advertised and were very pleased. I am not sure where anyone could find a rental with a more amazing view. We spent some very relaxing time reading books and drinking coffee on the lanai. Dan and Ellie are great people. We really enjoyed getting to know them during our extended stay. Dan is a wealth of information for any information you are seeking concerning any of the Hawaiian islands. I would highly recommend this property to anyone.

  We had a wonderful time at "A Room with a View". The view over Kaneohe Bay was spectacular ... we had coffee out on the lanai every morning and just soaked it all in. As stated in the listing, the place is quite small, but it had everything we needed. Uncle Dan and Ellie were very accommodating and friendly. We would definitely stay here again!

  Owner response: Thanks again for choosing us. Glad it worked out for you guys......

  This place was exactly as described and shown. I arrived to a breathtaking view and all the amenities I needed for my trip . It was so convenient to have a kitchen and some of the basic necessities while traveling (towels, basic toiletries, other small things laying around!). Uncle Dan was very welcoming and gave great advice on where to go surf. I definitely recommend staying here to anyone wanting to have a wonderful place to stay, away from all the tourists. The price is also below what you would pay at a hotel. I will never stay anywhere else as long as they have this room available, and will recommend this stay to anyone I know going to Oahu. I love the windward side of the island, so it was a perfect location, just a quick drive down the road to Kailua to the beach. Highly recommended if you like what you read/see here!!!!

  Owner response: thanks laura. always nice to have folks who see the beauty and appreciate our "Room with a View"uncle dan

  Dan and Ellie are very warm and welcoming people, making us feel welcomed as soon as we arrived for our 4 night stay. The view from the deck is incredible. As Dan stressed to me when I was booking the room, it is small, though we found for two adults it works well. The bed was comfortable, room was very clean, the appliances we used (fridge and coffee pot) worked well. Didn't use any of the others as we were out enjoying the island. Shower worked well, nice pressure. What you see from the photo's they have posted is what you get. We found the fan adequate for keeping the room comfortable for sleeping. The location is great, you're close to good beaches and all that Oahu has to offer. Would we stay here again? Definitely yes. When we got off the plane in Bellingham (in shorts and short sleeved shirts), we were ready to go back, arrived home to heavy snow....mid April...crazy.
