Accommodations: Studio, + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath (Sleeps 2)
Keywords: a room with a view.
Small, cute, clean, simple, cool and affordable get-a-way on the other side of the island, nestled up on a hill, overlooking Kaneohe Bay, probably one of the most beautiful views you'll ever see in your life. The sun setting behind the Koolau Mountains, back-dropping the Bay, the palms waving in the trade-wind breeze,sounds of birds singing in the trees shading the property; the many different shades of blues and greens, and white, fluffy clouds, coloring the landscape. Beautiful!!
(note: please be aware we do live in a tropical setting and though we do fumigate from time to time, we cannot guarantee you a sterile bug free environment. You may also see an occasional Geko, which we do not look at as pests, but to the contrary, welcome the little critters as they eat bugs. Tx.)

The Unique Benefits at this Studio
Never on Oahu will I see a more beautiful, breath-giving view. The sunsets while barbeque-ing and enjoying your favorite cold beverage on the lanai are second to none- Gorgeous! and although we are not on the beach, we are 5 miles from Kailua and Lanikai Beaches, which many of you have heard of as winning for being one of the most beautiful beaches in the world!! But, in my opinion, even those views cannot compare to our view of the Koolau, across the bay!! Also, we are 30 minutes to downtown Honolulu and Waikiki, and 45 minutes to the north shore, home to some of the best and biggest waves in the world. So, i would add, we are fairly centrally located. And i'm sure you will enjoy the town of Kailua itself, with its beaches, cool restaurants, and atmosphere--
And i might add- we cannot provide you with a jacuzi, or a swimming pool, not even the comfort of a 5 Star Resort , with the most modern of conveniences in a richly decorated setting. All we have is:
A Room with a View.....
Owner's Map of Kaneohe
Brought Mom and Dad to Hawaii when I was 7, back in the early 1900's, when they bought our home here, on the side of a hill, overlooking Kaneohe Bay, when there was only 1 road over the Pali to our side of the island. They have always entertained people as I was growing up, so we figured we should do the same and create a unit on the property so you can enjoy what we have for a reasonable price. If we don't get to personally meet, its because we are at our other cottage, 5000 miles west of here, on the island of Samar where we often spend some of our life at my wife, Ellie's, homeland.
Also look for the availability of our beach cottage on the island of Samar which is now on our other VRBO site.- including real estate for sale for those of you interested in investing in beachfront property on some of the beautiful, virgin, pristine islands within the 7,107 islands of the Philippine Archipelago.
Aloha, Uncle Dan & Ellie.

Wonderful View of a Tropical Paradise

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.
Owner response:Thanks guys, for choosing us- glad you enjoyed the unit, and that it worked well for you....

My wife and I spent seven nights here and would happily return at the earliest opportunity. The room is small but perfect for the two of us as a place of retreat after a day of fun and seeing the sights. The owners live right there but we hardly knew they were about unless we needed something. They were wonderful and very gracious hosts!! The room is clean and the view from the lanai is everything the ad says it is. You simply have to see for yourself just how beautiful Kaneohe bay is from this place. We awakened each morning to the sound of singing birds and cooing doves and enjoyed fresh coffee and a light breakfast on the little lanai in privacy while we drank in the view the sounds and the warmth of paradise. The bed was plenty comfortable (I've paid much more at other places to be much less comfortable). Fortunately for us the weather was very mild. The only drawback I can imagine about this rental is we did not have air conditioning. But with the remote controlled fan in the room we stayed plenty comfortable and was able to sleep just fine every night. We felt that the price more than compensated for not having the AC. We really hated to leave and as I said before we'd gladly go back again!!
Owner response:so happy to have Guests like yourselves, who see the beauty, and appreciate our place- we do try to make it clear in the pics and description, that it is small, but it is "cool, clean, comfortable....and affordable..." so we're glad to hear others say the same. We have no jacuzi, nor do we have a 40" LCD T.V. (but you probably got one at home anyway, right?) and we cannot boast of super luxury- all we have is----" A room with a View" in a quiet location-- and we sure do appreciate--------Guests like you. uncle dan/ellie

My wife and I were looking for a way to visit Oahu and not break the bank. We found this wonderful place to stay at Dan & Ellie's Place (AKA Uncle Dan's). We had never done anything like this before (stay on someone's property). I had read reviews and looked at so many properties before we chose this property... We chose wisely! Dan and Ellie are awesome people and their place is in the most beautiful part of the island. The room was comfortable and quiet with a killer view of K Bay. We want to go back and stay longer next time.
Owner response:Thanks guys- always a breath of fresh air to have Guests like yourselves- thanks for choosing us, and, see you- in the future---------

Hi Dan and Ellie, It was a pleasure meeting you both. We had a wonderful stay and the view and the location were perfect. We had everything we needed and more. By the way, the bed WAS very comfortable and it was SO nice to come back after our long days of exploring the island, to a nice, quiet, comfy place....The only thing we regret, is that we didnt get more time with the two of you to learn more about the history of Hawaii and just hang out and visit. NEXT TIME!!! We would also LOVE to visit your place in Samar someday. Maybe WITH you!!! Thanks for everything and we will see you again someday!!
Owner response:Thanks guys, and glad you enjoyed your stay. Sorry you had to leave so soon, and that we did not spend more time together. You're another great set of guests, and we do hope you return. Yes, there is alot to talk about concerning Hawaiian History. And yes- our other place on Samar Island is another adventure you may want to embark upon- Thanks again for choosing us, and we will see you- in the Future- take care, john/ellie day

Uncle Dan and Auntie Ellie, Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to stay in this beautiful setting only people with the true spirit of the islands could appreciate. We feel so blessed to have even just met such a wonderful ohana. When we come back, you will be the first one that we will contact about a place to stay. Good luck with everything you do. Aloha and Mahalo Nui Loa! Dana and Donna

Staying here was perfect - close to the places I needed to go and to the people I wanted to see. Some of the highlights? Comfortable bed, awesome view, quiet neighborhood, falling asleep to the sound of the rain and the wind, waking up to the birds. (Who knew nature could be so loud?! lol) I would recommend this place to anyone wanting a simple, nice, clean and quiet place to stay; but this definitely ain't Waikiki! If you are into the touristy things and fancy hotels, then this isn't the place for you, but if you are looking for true aloha spirit with a friendly family, look no further! I immediately felt at home when I got there - all of the Days are friendly but not "in your face" - if you want to sit and "talk story", or if you need suggestions/directions, they are willing but if you want to go off on your own, you can do that too. Ellie & Dan - Mahalo nui loa for keeping an eye on my things when I was out. Planning another visit for next summer, a hui hou!
Owner response:Pam- you're making us look too good, but thanks for the feedback. Once again, its really the people who choose us, like yourself, which really seem to gravitate to our place- for that we are thankful. It seems like everyone who has come have been the perfect guests,and have had a good stay. Its true! Thanks also for choosing us......see you next year. uncle dan and ellie

"What you see is what you get" - the photos on this site are what we experienced. During our seven-day stay we spent almost 2 days just sitting at the deck table enjoying the world went by. The small studio with kitchenette provided all what we needed. We had a few chats with John (or Dan, same person) and really enjoyed his friendliness, openness, and helpfulness in providing us with info we're seeking. We would come back again if we're on vacation in the area. Thanks John and Ellie for the good time.
