Gary’s place was clean, had everything we needed for our vacation. Can’t beat the location, it was close to everything. The International Market Place, the Beach, Restaurants, a bus stop right in front of the building. And the parking garage was a real plus. Would definitely stay there again!

Aloha C. and thanks you for the review. Our cleaning service is held to a high standard, and it is always more pleasant when the building staff is friendly. The free parking continues to be a welcome feature. See you in the future. Mahalo, Gary
Very close to all the upscale attractions Waikiki has to offer. The A/C in the unit is a must have for those not used to the climate, just have to empty the water catch twice a day which isn't a big deal. Comfy bed. The reserved parking spot is also one of the best perks of this rental. Great stay all around.

Almost everything was good. Some only minor problems during our stay: drainage system in bath tub very slow; TV remote control not working, ...
Some things over expected: daily papers delivered at door; free parking stalls, ...

Thank you for your comments. I am quite pleased you found the condo to almost meet all of your expectations. The remote control batteries were changed in January. The usual culprit
is someone inadvertently "clicked" off of the "cable" selection. A quick call to the "in-house" folks would have rectified the problem. Again, thank you for your comments, and hope to
see you again!

Not enough time
I wish we had stayed in this rental property longer than 2 days, we didn't have enough time to enjoy all the amenities. That being said the actual room we had was very nice, we had a great view and took advantage of the balcony. The location was ideal, within walking distance of so much activities and the beach. I have family members who did stay in the Royal Kuhio and had great things to say about it.

"Not enough time", thank you for your experience at Gary's Place Waikiki. I always feel exactly the same way...no matter how long I stay. Again, thank your for your business. It is appreciated! Mahalo, Gary
From the moment we walked in to the day we left, it felt like home. The host made sure to provide essential items to make this long term stay as comfortable as possible.
By being on the mauka side, you have a beautiful view from the lanai. Beach items and games were provided for use during the stay. Everything is as pictured and was a great choice in the heart of Waikiki. Conveniently in walking distance to many restaurants, stores, and beaches. The building and unit are greatly secured and create a safe environment. Plus, it came with a parking spot, which was essential for my stay and scarce in Waikiki.
Gary’s Place is truly the jackpot!

Gary's Place
We had a wonderful time in Hawaii and even better was the accommodation available at Gary's Place. Location was excellent, right across the street from McDonald's and a block away our favourite Udon place. Gary's Place has everything you need for a family of 3-4. Kitchen is stocked with what you need to make your own food and there was some water equipment along with chairs you could use on the beach. I would recommend this place to anyone that wants to have a great place to stay at a good price while travelling to Hawaii. Oh yes, free parking is always a bonus as it's hard to park for free near Waikiki. We loved Gary's Place and will definitely be going back next time we are in Honolulu. Thanks for everything Gary.

Aloha Samuel, and thank you for your very detailed thoughts on Gary's Place! We listened to previous remarks and last year added the sand chairs, beach umbrella, and large colorful beach towels. Looking forward to your next visit!

Cozy apartment right in the heart of Waikiki
Four of us stayed in Gary's apartment, which was equipped with everything we needed for a great time in Hawaii - fully stocked kitchen, beach towels, chairs and umbrella, ironing board (for ironing shirts for attending a wedding). The air conditioning unit was noisy so we just slept with the windows open. The bathroom is basic and could use an update. Location is great for exploring Waikiki, as it is near the beach (less than 10 min walk), grocery store (Food Pantry), restaurants and shopping (Nordstrom Rack right across the street!).

Response from VrboOwner on 27 Aug 2023
Vianne hit the nail right on the head. Full kitchen with everything you could possibly need. Nordstrom rack across the street and Ross's Dress for less maybe 200 feet from the rack. The location is truly central and all the included beach equipment is great. Thanks for noticing all these important items. The A/C was just serviced and is ice cold, and now that winter is upon us the high 30th floor and trade winds will cool the condo. Again Vianne, thank you and your family for the great visit!
Mahalo, Gary.

Great stay
The condo is the perfect place to stay if you want to be in the center of Waikiki and be able to walk everywhere. The canal view is beautiful at night and is a bit more quiet than facing Kuhio Street (there is no escaping all traffic noise in Waikiki) . We never heard our neighbors either.
The free parking is probably the biggest benefit.
The condo is small, but works for 2 people - I wouldn’t be able to do it with 4 adults. We had 2 large suitcases and 2 large travel golf bags and it was a challenge finding space to store them, but we made it work.
The 7th floor is a nice area and the washateria area is large. Gary also provides everything you need for a day at the beach.
I would definitely recommend staying here. Thanks, Gary

This place does not disappoint.
First time using VRBO and dealing with Gary has been very easy as he answers all questions promptly. The pictures do not do the place any justice, the rental is so much nicer in person. It is very clean and very well stocked with towels, dishes and things to take to the beach. The bed and sofa bed were very comfortable. There were 4 of us staying here and there was plenty of space for everyone. The view of the Ala Wai Canal and golf course is very serene and nice way to start the morning on the lanai with a cup of coffee, and of course ending the night with a glass with a nice breeze on the lanai. I highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for something that is not overly crowded and away from the busy streets of Waikiki. I am so glad I took a leap of faith and rented this place during our 10 day stay in Waikiki. The Royal Kuhio is a great central location and everything is walking distance. Thank you very much Gary for this wonderful rental in Waikiki. Aloha!

Susan, thank you for your kind words! I am so happy your holiday expectations were exceeded, and that you returned home with the "aloha" spirit. I too enjoy the quieter Ala Wai exposure, especially in the morning and evenings.
Hope to see you again.....Gary
I went to Oahu for couple days and stayed at Royal Kūhiō. Like it a lot most especially the security system. From entering the elevator from the garage and going to the unit. You have the security devise that you use to go in and out the elevator and the main lobby to go to your unit.
The unit itself was just perfect . King size bed very comfortable. I didn’t bother to use the air conditioner since I’m on the 30th floor the breeze coming in was just I wanted. Experience the island weather I just open all the window . The kitchen was complete what your basic gadgets. With extra tamper-wares to pack your food to the beach. The cooking pans could be replace and the knives can be a little sharp for slicing.
First night after shower the tub drain was stacked. Had to call the maintenance the next day. And sure did they fix it right away. It was chairs and beach umbrella, one was broken. It has beach towels and extras.
Perfect location, across is McDonald’s for perfect island breakfast ( rice, sausage and eggs) walking distance to all the stores and restaurants.
Definitely if ever I get the chance to come back I’ll stay at this unit again.

Thank you for your kinds words regarding your stay, and also for assisting with the installation of fiber optic cable for internet and t.v.! Hope to see you again in the future!
My sister and I had a wonderful time at Gary's place. The apartment was clean and it had all of the appliances we needed to prep / cook meals. The location was also convenient; it's about a 5 - 10 minute walk to the beach and the room is very quiet because it is on the 30th floor. Lastly, the owner was very professional. Gary responded quickly and effectively to any questions we had. I would recommend this place to a friend!
P.S. You can see a great view of the sun rising over the mountains from the lanai!
We loved the location, cleanliness, accuracy and the security of the building. Also a parking spot is available which is very convenient. The owner was very attentive to our needs. We will definitely come back!

Aloha EM, and and thank you for your kind words. It is always gratifying that we able to help with a great vacation! We are doing some upgrades the the 4th quarter and will send along the changes. Again, Mahalo
Highly recommend and will book again. Gary's place had everything we needed for a month-long stay. Kitchen had what we needed to do our own cooking, including a slow cooker. Nice to have a Brita pitcher in the fridge. King bed is very comfortable and we spent lots of time on the lanai. Royal Kuhio is in a great location: 5 min walk to the beach, easy walk to restaurants/shops, right next to a Biki rental bike dock, and bus stop is right outside the bldg (buses to mall, grocery store, even HNL airport). We didn't rent a car the whole month. Gary responded right away whenever I had questions. We also appreciated the beach chairs, towels, umbrella and cooler provided. Coin laundry in the bldg is clean and convenient, lots of machines, just need to save quarters..

Thanks Maureen, I am very pleased that your stay exceeded your expectations. I look forward to hosting your in the future!
It was conveniently located, room was clean, cozy, nice as described, balcony has a good view. Couch needs replaced but covered it with clean linen they provided. Overall room was very nice and as described, would definitely recommend if you are budget minded and not overly sensitive by the lack of luxury. Owner went above and beyond to provide the basics of home...
Comfortable apartment in excellent location for retail and entertainment. Well stocked kitchen. Beautiful view of mountains and Ala Wai canal.

Very pleased you found the condo very clean and comfortable. We pay attention to
details such a high quality linens, big oversized fluffy towels. Also, the 3 inch memory
foam topper for the king bed makes a great relaxing night. Thank you for your business!
Mahalo,

Cleanliness was excellent. Spacious enough for a smaller unit.. Attention to interior design. King size bed. Comfy sofa. Clean & complete small kitchen. Plenty of towels. Great view of hillside.
Window air conditioner needed to be drained manually.
Location of 30th floor resulted in total dependency of elevators. At a busy time, they got extremely crowded and stopped at almost every floor.
Once the power was shut down for the entire building with insufficient notification. I had an emergency errand to the pharmacy to make but was not able to leave the room & no one was available to speak to by phone after calling three different numbers. Eventually a maintenance assistant returned my call later & explained that the elevators were being worked on. But, the posted signage by the lobby elevators only stated that the laundry room would be affected.
Overall, though, we had a very good experience & did enjoy our stay.
