Gary’s Place is not a hotel and not on the beach, no surprises here. High 30th floor. Beautiful views of the Ala Wai, mountains, and golf course. Kitchen and lanai dining, really just the best. In-building assigned parking and enhanced WIFI = A real and true savings!!

Our intention is to provide a warm comfortable blending
of OLD and NEW Hawaii.

LOCATION: Located at the intersection of Kuhio and Royal Hawaiian Avenues. This places you at the hub of Waikiki. The beach is a short walk, bus service in front of the building, several convenience stores within ½ block, tourist shopping within 1 block, super market short blocks, International Market Place is 3 short blocks. Walk, ride, or drive you are in the right place.

THE BUILDING: The Royal Kuhio is 38 stories tall and has a number of preferred amenities. Entering the beautiful lobby you will notice the security station and 'keyed' access doors to the elevator lobbies. The 7th floor boasts a number of options. You can simply sun bathe, or avail yourself of the pool, exercise room, saunas, or putting green.

FTo keep the kids occupied the 7th floor also offers ping pong. Both charcoal and gas BBQ’s are available. A large covered paved stone open air lanai is available for your enjoyment. Just in case you need to wash a few clothes the 7th floor coin operated laundry has more than 20 washing and drying machines. In building reserved parking is included at no extra charge. NOTE: Diamond Head portion of deck closed for remodeling.

THE CONDO: Gary’s place is privately owned and non smoking. It is located on the 30th floor of the building facing the quiet and serene Ala Wai, golf course, and the mountains. The condo is designed to offer the client a wide range of choices. For example, the full kitchen permits you the choice of full meal preparation, light meals, snacks, or just cold drinks.

Temperature comfort: open the lanai door and feel the breeze, or turn on the ceiling fan, or for those that like it simply cold close the door and “crank up” the A/C.

BATHING OPTIONS: The combination tub shower allows you to choose either a soothing “soak” in the tub or a refreshing shower ranging from very cool to steaming hot.

ENTERTAINMENT: A 32" flat screen remote control cable T.V A combination radio/CD player, A combination VHS/DVD player. Or perhaps just the quiet and a good book. Also, for the home video folks the T.V. is capable of viewing your camcorder via cables or “S” plug-in.

SLEEPING OPTIONS: The condo is equipped with a king size bed and a queen sleeper couch.

COMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT : FREE high speed internet. WIFI. FREE unlimited local calls. The phone is direct dial long distance and international call capable with credit or phone cards.

THE KITCHEN: Just in case 'eating-in' is your preferred option the kitchen is well stocked with dishes, pots and pans, casserole baking dishes, blender, waffle maker, rice cooker, crock pot, toaster and coffee maker. The fridge is a full sized 18 cubic feet, 4 burner stove with oven and broiler, microwave, and of course a dishwasher.

LINENS: Bath and bedding linens provided. Beach
towels too!

ANALYSIS: Gary’s place is centrally located; offers many choices, provides vacation value; the building has excellent facilities, is well maintained, and offers 24/7 security.

I hope to hear from you soon concerning a reservation, but if you find another better suited value for your vacation I wish you a wonderful time in Hawaii, a place that I fell in love with many years ago.

Waikiki Cozy Gem

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!

Great experience!

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!

Fantastic experience! Thanks Gary!

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!

Wonderful! Ideal location, comfy bed, well-stocked kitchen, responsive host.

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..

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...

Great stay aside from the 30th floor location

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.

Great value

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.

Rocky Start but Smooth Sailing

When my family and I got to the property the cleaners had not cleaned from the previous guests according to Gary. He was quick to respond and get us to a Hotel next door since it was too late to get a cleaner to the property. The very next day we arrived and everything was smooth sailing from there!

Gary's Place

Loved staying here. The big draw was the balcony/lanai. We had our own parking space, though we walked everywhere in Waikiki since the condo is conveniently located close to everything. Gary stocks a full kitchen, bathroom, and even provides cleaning supplies as well as beach equipment. It was like staying at home. It saved us so much money and headache by not having to purchase or bring extra things, we actually only had to bring carry-on luggage. Gary was also easy to get in touch with and replied quickly. I would definitely recommend anyone wanting to stay in the Waikiki area to stay at Gary's place. Thanks Gary! You made our honeymoon stay awesome! Hated to leave.

Mini vacation

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.

Gary's place is located perfectly in Waikiki just across the street from T Galleria and an amazing Japanese food court. It's always great to have free parking but if you are not renting a car, the bus stop is right underneath the building. Gary's place is well maintained, stocked with everything you need for some time at the beach!

About the host

Hosted by Gary (owner)

I have been coming to Hawaii for a lot of years and seen a lot of changes. Experiencing Hawaii is what it is all about! For example, take the "Owner photo". I was hanging around Sandy Beach enjoying the day and the van in the background pulls up and out pops a gentlemen with his preteen age son. Slider opens and they haul out this leather couch, the one in the photo, and put it on the sand under the palm tree. I asked "whats-up", and the kid says my dad and I found this couch along the road so we thought it would be nice here under the tree. I thought so too! I very much enjoyed sitting on that couch watching "Hawaii happen" all the while enjoying my daily newspaper. This is "experiencing" Hawaii.
Whenever I get the urge for grilled garlic shrimp, I mean the big ones, I head up to Titas Grill. Small little take-out cafe with tables across the street from Kahuku High school - up by Polynesian Cultural Center. Really "Ono"! Or, other days, I head up to Dillingham Field to watch the "kite-surfers". I mean they launch right next to you on this little beach. If I'm lucky I can pick up road side Rotisserie Chicken for dinner. Here is the best! I arrive at HNL around 3:00 PM, pick up rental car, drive to condo, change clothes, hop back in car drive to Rainbow Drive-in, pick-up pork cutlet plate (2 scoops rice, 1 scope rice, a lot of sliced pork and brown gravy, biggest diet coke, drive to Kings Beach, sit at picinic bench 50 feet from the beach, all the while watching the people and the sun dip into the Pacific. Yes, my friend Hawaii is all about the experience! Come join me! Gary
